PHILOSOPHY OF THIS WAR

DEAD COEKESPONDENT'S VIEWS

P.A. Cable.

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.

In his last despatch from the New Guinea war front, the Times's correspondent, Mr Byron Darnton, who, it has now -been revealed, met his death accidentally, summed up hispersonal experiences and presented conclusions regarding the philosophies and postwar aims of American soldiers, "Victory will be well used by the young men aoing our fighting," he c;eclared. "They are thinking about ihe war's end not only in terms of getting home to their wives and sweethearts, but also in terms of what kind of world we will have when peaee comes. "The politician who preaches normality at the end of the war will find hard-headed opposition. He will find a greater love of peaee than ever, eoupled with a realisation that peaee is not automatie but must he seeured by keeping the United States stiong on sea and land. "It is stirring to see this attitude in our fighting men. It makes the dust all right, the flies all right,, the heat all right. A inan can see his countrymen huilding with blood, sweat and toil the first resolution that their sons shall not die under ifoombs, but shall have peaee, because they will know how to preserve peaee."
