Into the debate on the post-war world, amply charged with theory and speculation, hard-bitten U.S. Chief of Staff General George Catlett Marshall last week injected words of caution and realism. Said he, before the august Academy of Political Science...
...India monkeys are sacred and punishment is frowned on. This does not promote discipline among monkeys. Bands of them often meet trains at stations, looting food and other articles of interest to monkeys. Lucknow University recently complained that in the chemistry laboratory a girl student had been bitten by a monkey. Wrote a Lucknow citizen to city authorities: "Apart from the damage monkeys cause to my garden, one attacked a small child of one of my servants and tore from its nose the nose ring." Said Dr. E. A.

Later he took over what there was of a Pacific Allied Fleet until he was relieved last February in favor of the late Dutch Admiral K. W. F. M. Doorman. In two Satevepost articles innocently entitled What Our Navy Learned in the Pacific and Amphibious War Against Japan, Admiral Hart loosed his pent-up feelings about the Army in terms so thinly veiled that no soldier or sailor could miss his point...
