Thoy woko us up. They dispe Vjedhe mist of confusion in which We have been wondering. No longer can the question "Do you think we ought to have a ', war?" bemuse us. We have a ' war," and It is not of our own making. We have a war, forced on us, '. catching us unawares simply be ; because we had not yet brought ourselves to understand the com ', plete duplicity,, .the shameless J double-dealing;, and (he, venomous . deceit thill lay behind all Japan's '. dealings.' Wo were Innocent. Like Hamlet, we could scarcely believe , that one could "smile and smile, ,' nnd he a villain." Now we know. In the blood of ! our men, women and children, in J the whirlpools above ships sunk . without warning, the lesson is ; written; Japan lias proved itself faith I less, despicable, and unworthy of civilized relationship with a civl: lized people. The sword Japan has . forced from our reluctant scabbard must not lie slieuthed until Japan as a power in Pacific , and world affairs does not exist. ' That does not mean a war of ex i termination against the Japanese people. It means the destruction of her -navy and air force, togcth- er with the means uf building an ' other. To this task Japan has herself assigned us. Nothing less offers the slightest hope of peace when this war shall have been . concluded. Let us not deceive ourselves. War with Japan will be no bas ; ket picnic. The Japanese are good fighters; they are ruthless, un ' scrupulous ami actuated by reli gious zealotry and desperation. They have all geography on their side. They are able in war. The news from the Pacilic will be worse before it is better. We must be prepared for bad news, for losses of ships and men. Tin naval disaster with which (he war was launched is good proof of the fatuousness of the thoughtless I , chest-beating that has gone on in ; the highest quarters about our - naval Irresistibility, We cannot fail to in in the long run, though .the run may be . longer than we See at this mo ment. Anything less than a com plete, crushing and final victory ; over Japan means the end of the lulled States as a great nation. 1 Our standing before the world, and especially our status as the principal protector of the western hemisphere, demand complete and final victory- nothing less. We are going to see this tiling through to the bitter end, know ing lull well that the cost will be heavy, the burden great, and the losses grievous. With deceit, low craftiness, and contempt, the Japanese have thrown the gauntlet In our faces. We pick it lip; wo draw the sword; we shall not sheathe it until the world power of Japan is broken, finally and forever. This is the task which Japan herself has given us; we cannot : Xail, and we will not fail. Those 50,000 Planes XI7 H E N President Roosevelt spoke, in May, 19-10, of pro duction of 50,000 pianos, people nodded vaguely, supposing un thinkingly that nil one had to do to produce 50,000 planes Instead of 3000 wj to open, the spigot wider. Then came delays, i xas- peralions, realizations of what the problem reully was. We be came discouraged. Fifty thou sand? Huh, a pipe-dream, we said. Even experts coldly estimated such a production could not be at tained before 1945, Now so practical a man as Pre sident Jouett of the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce predicts that such a rate of production may actually be reached late In 1912, and planes are being pro duced even today at a rate of I more than 30,000 a year. Thought "'iless optimism and black pessim- (it-iysv... ..vr.w... v...i-.t; Xftv -iiiUHa facts thoroughly discredit both at titudes. With irritating slowness some times, but with reassuring cer tainty, we are achieving goals be llcvcd two years ago to be Impos sible. Now, with war a reality, we shall stride forward even fast er toward the overwhelming force events have shown we must have. Rail Lines Ask Permit to Boost Traffic Rates WASHINGTON, Dec. 13 f AP) The nation s railroads petition ed the interstate commerce com- mision today for Increased freight and passenger rates which would produce approximately $356,525,- uoo in additional revenue annu ally. I be increases were asked to enable the carriers to meet high er operating costs resulting from the recent wage increases grant ed their employes. The proposed, increases In cluded: 1. Increase of 10 per cent In all passenger fares except the 11 cents per mile special rale allow ed members of military or naval iorees travelling on furlough. There would be no Increase in the extra fare charged on some I rains. 2. fncrense of 10 per cent In all freight rates except those on anthracite 'and bituminous coal, coke and Iron ore. In Hie case of anthracite and bituminous coal, the railroads proposed an increase of 5 cents In rates stated on a net ton basis' and 6 cents where stated 011 a gross ton basis, except that rates from all origins to points west: of Chicago and Milwaukee would be increased as follows; Hales of 75 cents and less, an Increase of three cents; rates from Vii cents to $1, an increase of 5 cents: rates over $1, an in crease of 10 cents. 3. An increase of 10 per cent In all accessorial charges except in demurrage, dockage, tippling, or tollage charges or In charges for protective service against lieat or cold. In addition to revenues needed to meet the wage Increases, the railroads said more funds were required to make readjustments in the wages of employes not covered by the wage award, and to meet increased operating costs running into many millions of dollars. Need of Paying Dues Stressed to Legion Members An appeal to World war veter ans, eligible for membership in the American Legion, to prompt ly pay membership dues in Uinp- I1'"" l"'sl vvas "laill! l"J"y by Ned I'lxoii, memoeisnip chairman. Tile American I.eiiiim can exic-i numerous calls for service during I lie war emereencv. .Mr. nixon points out, and it is necessary that the membership lie brought to the largest possible number of veterans immediately. As nearly all of the members assigned to membership solicita tion are actively engaged in civil ian defense work, they have had no time to make the usual per sonal calls on veterans for collec tion of iltics, and it is not prob able that it will be possible to do so immediately, Mr. Dixon stat ed. In view of this situation, veterans are asked to pay their' dues voluntarily and at the ear best possible date, as the post al ready is working on plans to aid in various, national ami local de fense activities anil men are needed. Necessity Is Stressed "Hecause of the inability of the members of the membership com mittee to personally contact past members and other veterans eli gible lor membership, It is neces sary that we ask them to volun tarily bring In their tines ami we intuit stress too strongly the need (or immediate enrollment," I'i.vin said. "Already veterans are being tailed upon in various parts nt tlie state to form null 1 lory units. Men with military ex- i pei iiMice aie needed in ail phases ot civilian defense work. Doubt less the American Legion, as an' organization, soon will be called' ti)on for definite defense work.

Jn a letter sent to chairman May (D-Ky.) as the committee opened hearings on legislation to register ail men from 18 to 64. Inclusive, and to make men from i 10 44, inclusive, liable for mili tary duty, Stimson said "I desire to emphasize the dsv ehological or moral effects of the passage of a great measure along tnese lines. 11 will make clear to the American people the char acter of the effort that will be required to defeat the vast fore es arrayed against us. To the out. side world it will be a symbol that we are providing the means to mane good our declared policy to accept no result save victory, fin ai ana complete, "The broad purpose of the bill is to provide a framework into which we can steadily and solid ly build stone by stone and struc ture which will accomplish the victory. Restrictions Opposed "I wish most respectively to ex press a caution aaainst the In elusion In the bill of any restric tions as to the priorities whereby men may be called for military service, or restrictions as to ad ministrative procedures, because all such restrictions might turn out to be shackles that would hamper the organization of our and and naval forces and the conduct of the war.1 Stimson said, too, that the de partment should not be handicap ped by statements in the bill about the size of the forces to be called for military service. In "a vast cataclysm such as is now in progress, ne explained, pians mignt nave to be revised. Warships or Bombers? The sinking of four dread naughts Japanese, British and American--in the battle of Pacific amid impressive reports of the effectiveness of aerial bombers aroused congressional demands today for a reappraisal of the warship versus airplane controver sy. Such an investigation was con sidered of urgent importance in the light of an administration bill, Introduced yesterday, to au thorize a 30 per cent increase in tne navy s surface fleet, Chairman Walsh of the senate naval affairs committee, who an nounced he introduced the legisla tion at the request of President Roosevelt and the navy depart ment, said the degree of vulner ability of battleships to aerial assault undoubtedly would have to pe threshed out. The measure would authorize an eventual addition of 900.000 tons to the surface fleet, but tho initial appropriation would be for about 300,000 tons all that can be handled under present condi tions, the total authorization. Walsh said, was sufficient for seven or eight 45,000-ton battle ships, six or seven 20,000-ton air craft carriers and some 27 cruis ers, 80 destroyers and 47 submar ines. Priorities At Issue The new building, however. could be apportioned as the navy saw fit, and most legislators be lieved a substantial portion of tho funds would bo allocated for battleships, to replace the one sunk and any damaged in the Japanese attack on Pearl harbor. Senator Wiley, another member of the naval affairs committee, told reporters that before any authorization was granted he and others would want to know whether the navy and army fav ored giving priority to battleships or bombers. Agreeing that the events of the last few days had changed the naval picture, Senator ByTd said that as a veteran advocate of building more battleships, he too was beginning to wonder if more stress should not be placed now on constructing bombers.

The dining room was or, the highest floor. The table tc which the head waiter directed them was near tho glassed en closure at the front of the room Outside the rain still flung silvei magic and the lights of the park swung in the mist like distant yellow balloons. Judy looked steadily at Philif as he said: "Darling, I've beer trying to explain for five minutes that I want to marry you. I lovt you, if that helps any." If that helps any. , . . Of course it did. Especiall) when someone whose tall, lean strength was a Gibraltar in tin midst ot storm said the thret words which every girl wanted to hear. But how could she forget eye: that spanned mountains anc bright hair that defied hats anc helmets? How could she slide ont man's picture out of the frame ir her heart to let another's in? She liked Philip and had knowr him for so long. She had beer expecting this question and knew that life would be safer, more serene, and lead to happier. Jand ings in the end, Judy knew hci answer. But first she had a question k ask. "Sara?" .wura js..f .no,.npqrUm t( us, Judy," he answered. "Mj plans with her didn't amount tc a row of beans. It was you wanted to sec whan I came ui town at noon." "About what?" She sipped somt cold tomato juice, for the tea houi had slipped into the dinner hou: while they lingered. "The book has gone to press carrying her by-line over youi story. You can object or pasi up the incident. Your editor doesn't know about it. Your own cor rected proof sheets came in toe late for her reading. But thai other question, Judy dear? Th one about marrying me?" A stream of old songs had beer floating softly from a suing or chestra in the corner. Just now someone was crooning unfamiliai words: "Breeze, that blew my gal away, "I've had tho blues all day; "Since early morn." The words had been wistful anc nostalgic when Judy was around 10 years old, wearing her curb tied up with a bright blue ribbon Yet something in the revival ol the old song was perennially new ana saa. CHE looked into Philip's eyes her own grave and a little wot Pint was . . . splendid. Yes splendid.

Oh, you could put all the coot adjectives in tho world in a hat shake then, up, and anything yot pulled out would suit Philip. Furthermore, he was depend able. He was steadfast, devoted reliable. He had a sense of hnrnm and a fortune. He would alwav, provide beefsteak for his iah'i and leggings for his children. And Sandy was Bone.

Oh, surely you couldn't be in love with two peo ple at once. You might love two men at once. But to be in love with both o them ah, that was different. Maybe a man could carry a double devotion, A woman couldn't. She laughed softly when Philip, who was asking the waiter to bring the check, looked at her in- answer. She was thinking that she should have known long ago that Sandy was only Pierrot or Harle quin, adding moments of gaiety as he flew against the wind. Philip was the husband every woman wanted. Suddenly she wanted his arms around her, his lips against hers. Somehow, with out words she must let him know she loved him, that the past and Sandy would not cross the Rockies so far as she was concerned. Philip matched her mood. He had his long, swift roadster parked 1 downtown. They took a taxicab to its address, climbed into the car and followed the Hudson river along the Spsedway to the George Washington bridge that swung in silver mist against the rainy night. They crossed the bridge and rode ' far up the Palisades. a TTHEN Philip swung the car " around to start home, Judy sighed happily and sleepily. The mood stayed with her until she had undressed, bathed, given her russet curls one hundred upward, outward strokes and flung her windows to the darkness and the rain. People forgot things, all things, she murmured, slipping between soft white sheets. In time, no memory mattered. Sometimes you forgot where the hurt had been, why it had been. Now she ncod not face tho em barrassment that would come when people learned that she fol- J) lowed Sandy, only to discover he and another girl were winging their way to the western coast. She felt relaxed and protected when she fell asleep. It was around 3 o'clocif that the low ringing of her telephone wakened hc-r. S)ie stirred, hear ing it from a great distance at first As sleep left her the sound increased in volume. Slipping into rose mules and flowing rose negli gee, she started toward the tele phone. With her hand on it, she paused. It would be andy and she had closed the gates of hcr heart to him. She must not an swer, must not let him win her again. And yet . . . The bell rang with a last desperate appeal. (To Be Continued) 40-Hour Work Week to 'J Stand, Roosevelt Thinks WASHINGTON, Dec. 12-(AP) President Roosevelt said today he thought the 40-hour week pro visions of the wage-hour act still stood and any working time over iu hours should be compensated for at time and a half. He replied in the negative to a question whether any change in the 40-hour provision was contem plated in view of the war situa tion. However, there miuht be some lengthening of hours for government workers, he agreed. mr.
