One Down One To Go With the end of the war in Europe seemingly not too many weeks distant, the campus is currently buzzing with comments and speculation as to what V-E day will mean, both here at home and overseas on the fighting fronts. Optimitis guessers and rumors daily become more numer ous. A careiree tne-war-is-neany-over attitude steaany becomes more widespread. It is apparent that many UN students, like a great many other Americans, are laboring under serious misap prehensions as to the real meeting of V-E day. For the simple truth of the matter is that, even with victory in Europe, the war will not be "nearly over." There will be much hard fighting ahead as the United States, and most of the other United Nations, turn their complete at tention to the crushing of Japan. V-E day, of course, should be the signal for much re joicing, rejoicing at the conquest of one of our two chief enmies in the present golobal conflict. But the rejoicing should be tempered by the realization that the second of those two chief enemies, the fanatic Jap, still remains to be conquered, that many more American soldiers will lose their lives before the war is truly over. V-E day, thus, will definitely not mean that the war is over, that soldiers on the fighting front and civilians on the home front can ease up in their efforts. Germany will be defeated, but the United States will still be very much at war. What exactly, then, will V-E day mean? What can UN students, and like other American citizens, expect once Germany is beaten? According to government officials, the most important' developments to follo.w victory in Eu rope will be these: (1) The full weight of American fighting power will be shifted to the Pacific, except for those forces which will necessarily be maintained in Europe to police the oc cupied countries and those relatively few soldiers who will be returned to civilian life. In other words, the majority of American soluiers in Europe will probably return home via Tokyo. (2) . Rationing and other restrictions on normal .civilian life will be continued and even tightened in some cases, with easing of regulations in relatively few cases. Food, for example, will become scarcer rather than more plentiful, as the United Nations undertake the gigantic task of feeding Europe. (3). There will be some reconversion from war to civilian production, but will be at least a year before any civilian goods which have been war casualties return to the market in any quantity. V-E day, in short, will provide no cause for a let-up-in America's war effort, either on the fighting fronts or at home. UN students, and the rest of the American people, will do well to remember that fact. V . . . - Mail Clippings Pfc. GEORGE J.
