ON TO THE PHILIPPINES
Allied forces are at present pointing
the nose of the New Guinea “dinasaur
toward their next major objective—the
Philippines. Recent communiques have
called the present tactics “leap frog”, ;
or by-passing moves, with all branches
of the armed forces participating.
Many islands in the Celebes will be
by-passed, the Straits of Macassar block-1
ed and Borneo, Sumatra, and Java will
be beach-headed within the next few
months, or possibly weeks, paving the!
way to the Philippines.
President Roosevelt has sent a mes-:
sage to Congress to make it possible to
give the Philippines their independence
immedately upon their being freed from
the Japanese.
The China Sea will soon become an
Allied lake, just as has the waters from
the Coral Sea to the Carolines, less than
1,000 miles from the Philippines, and
General MacArthur’s promised return
will be fulfilled.
The Japanese shipping lanes are fast
becoming too great a burden for the
Nipponese fleet to protect from allied
air, sea and undersea raiders. Supplies
are not getting through in the quantities
necessary to maintain Japanese domin
ion over their ill-gotten gains. They are
letting them go one after another as
though each of the islands and countries
became too hot to hold, leaving ba'hind
men, materials and supplies, including
much valuable equipment.
Soon the Philippines will be an—b
of the hot spots which the Japs will be
forced to release to the constantly ,?<•'
vancing allied forces.
Bataan and Corregidor will be aveng
ed. The filthy Jap will be driven'from
he beautiful Philippine Islands.
FAITH IN HUMANITY
In an atmosphere where moral de
eatism and pseudo realism have sup
ported_ the misanthrope it is a healthy
sign when groups of men have sufficient
courage of their convictions to voice
faith in human integrity, in standards
of human decency, and toward goals of
spritual achievement. The “Faith of
The Engineer” appearing on this page
as proposed to the engineering profes
sion by the Engineer’s Council for Pro
fessional Development, encourages the
hope that affirmation and belief in prac
tical idealism may give new life to a
generation that has short changed
-tself in any serious contemplation of the
deeper currents of human character.
Not merely professional men but good
iPzens everywhere may well pause to
•ePect on principles which must form
he basis of all true human advancement.
Though the statement must be simpli
Ped and varied to suit the individual, the
principles are those which should in
o're any serious effort to promote peace
and welfare in the nations of the world.

_GUIDEPOST
'•CONE OF SILENCE", by A.
Fleming MacLiesh (Houghton
Mifflin; $2.75).
Probably it would be better to
try to tell exactly what A. Flem
ing MacLiesh’s “Cone of Silence’’
is rather than to synopsize its
story. I couldn’t do that, any
way, because I couldn’t finish the
book.
“Cone of Silence" is not a nov
el, under this department’s defi
nition of a novel, to-wit: a book
in which characters are develop
ed toward a logical end through
action. There is a certain devel
opment in “Cone of Silence”, but
it is not particularly through ac
tion. It is rather through long
literary dissertations which prove
the extent and catholicity of Mr.
MacLiesh’s research and reading.
And even then, the development
is often rather backhanded.
For example, his male and his
female are ascending the tower
of a cathedral. The situation is
presumably tense—he wants her,
and she is drawn to him in a way,
but not enough. Under those cir
cumstances most normal people
(for that matter, most abnormal
people) would concentrate on the
problem at hand. But Mr. Mac
Liesh’s man and woman talk
about Dante. I don’t mean that
they merely make a passing allu-i
sion to Dante; they shred him, in
a literary sense. This produces a
lot of elevated writing, and it also
brings the action to a full stop.
Similarly, Mr. MacLiesh rushes
into literary discussion at every
opportunity. His people are of the
time of Munich, and he is chiefly
concerned with Europe and. par
ticularly Austria. I worked at my
job with a will, but I never got
fl clear picture of either Michael
or Lisa, only, a picture of their
literary predilections.
‘‘Cone of Silence” is, I think,,
produced for three models. One'
is James Joyce; there is a lot of:
associative, stream of conscious-j
ne< stuff In the book. Another is
T S. Eliot. That gentleman’s
wilful perverseness and arbitrary
attitudes have evidently impress
ed Mr. MacLiesh deeply, first or
second-hand. The third model is
Virginia Woolf, whose precious
ne ;c runs like an infection through
‘C’ar.e of S lcnce”. The virtue of
the book is grea\ being its au
thor '• s> ill at handling words. But
you can’t cook belles lettres and
ficiton in the same pot.
