; Grim Task Given Us
"THE first shattering explnsiuns
of bomlis in Hawaii did one
; good thing for I lie American
. people, oven while they took ler
; rible toll.
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.
Already we are working on some
projects," I

Extend Draft
To Maximum,
Stimson Asks
War Secretary Opposes
Restrictions; Bomber vs.
Warship at Issue
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13 (AP)
ed tne house military committee
ioaay 10 approve nromotlv far-
reaching extensions ol the draft
act to provide "a great pool of
men 10 meet any eventuality.
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.

CHAPTER X
PHILIP and Judy were seated
at a candle-lighted table foi
two in the egg-shaped dining rooir
of a hotel across from Centra!
Park. 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. Dark, tall, younir. cor
rectly handsome in a virile way
wealthy, popular, yet not quiti
as wmc-snou acred, never ai
slouching, or as swift, as anothci
man who so short a time ago hac
said, "I love you."
Oh, you could put all the coot

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.

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.

She felt relaxed and protected
when she fell asleep.
It was around 3 o'clocif that the

And yet . . . The bell rang with
