SIGNS OF JEALOUSY
jnews from philippines ! communiques" attacked (N.Z. Press Association.—Copyright.) (Rec. Noon.) NEW YORK, Dec. 20. General MacArthur .is doing a splendid job, but whoever writes his official communiques is rendering a disservice to the General and to his reputation," says the New York Sun columnist Mr David Lawrence. "The American people are interested in what the navy does, but if they read General MacArthur's communiques they won't find out. "It was feared that under a unified command there would be a tendency to over-emphasise the work of one service against the other. Unhappily the fears were well-founded. General MacArthur's communiques have created an unfavourable impression in Washington. "There was no substantial account of what the navy did' in the' remarkable exploit at Mindoro, the communique being devoted almost wholly to details of scat J-ted operations on land. This kind of thing leads to the assumption that inter-service jealousies are responsible for such unbalanced announcements. Those writing the communiques should be cognisant of the many delicate problems involved."
