War is nut a chess game in which men sit in favored nooks of safe withdrawal and solve ab stract, problems. War Is not a balance of, forces, In which some geometrical ratio between the productive power of one group is balanced out P" a shept of white paper against the productive power of another and the whole resolved into a balanc ed equation. War is not entirely factory against factory, gun against gun, plane against piano, though those are vital. War today Is not color against color, or race against race, or even nation against nation in the sense n which that was under stood a few years ago. It is also, men against men. War Is faith. We have today a conflict ol .faiths, as we have hac so many times in the world's past. We are going o win this war, for many reasons. Not alone he causo we will pile up the greatest mound of munitions, though that will help, though it is Indispens able. Not alone because we have ut our disposal the greatest natu ral resources, though that will help and that, too, Is indispens able. We are going to win tills war because we have fiiith that we must win. We are going to win because we have faith that the things we fight for are good, and needful to men. We are going to win because we shall cleave mightily to our faith. The other side believes it is or dained to establish a superiority over other men. The German and the Japanese believe (the Italians do not really believe 11) that they are somehow chosen to dominate others. We believe in the right of the others to rule themselves. We wish dominion over none. iiil- uuici sine neucves man is a puppet, ii cog, a unit. We be lieve man is a personality, a soul, a collaborator. We believe he Is competent to got together with his fellowmen and to rule him self. That is the difference. We have our faith. They have theirs. Which faith shall prove stronger? Which faith shall per severe? Which faith is Just and right? Which faith deserves to live? The guns are necessary. The tanks, and the planes are neces sary. The Industrial production is necessary. The whole material panoply of victory Is necessary. Hut in addition, there is needed . faith, faith uiihi-nding and undy ing that what we struggle for is worth survival. That is the faith that Mill carry us to victory. Pearl Harbor and the Highways yilE wounded from Pearl liar nor are arriving In the Unit ed States. It is a spectacle to which the rest ot tho world has long been iniitcd China knows it, and Britain, and Germany, and Italy, and Kussla. We must steel ourselves to tills and like things. That is what war means. The wounded Irom Pearl Har bor, however, have given their lives or their bodies to a cause that is worth defending, worth suffering for. In the month in Which they sustained their in juries or met death, a still great er number of people were struck down by traffic injuries which were no less terrible - and all for nothing. We are suffering nearly 4000 traffic casualties a month, resulting In deaths as pel m.innil, Jn wounds as ghastly, as those 01 Obio0 Pearl Harbor ahd for nothing. We cannot spare any more in these days the toll of the road, the dead who produce nothing, the wounded wbo suffer. The snuffedout lives, the broken bodies, of those whom tho auto mobile has crushed, are given for nothing at all, a mere sacrifice to our national Moloch of carelessness. Enlist Them Naturalize Them! THOUSANDS of Filipinos In tho UiiHu-u States are un aale, because of a quirk In the naturalization laws, to serve in the United States military forces. Milton Uronner, in a serviceable story, recently told how Filipinos born In the United States arc citizens, but that there are some 20,01)0 of them who were born in the Islands, now reside In the United States, but who are nqt under present law allowed to en ter military service under the U. S. flag. When Congress gets back to work it might well consider a law providing for enlistment of these eager Filipinos in the U. S. forces, with further provision for thojr citizenship on honorable dis charge. Editorials pn News (Continued from uage 1.) things that go to make living luller and richer and more pleas ant. Things such as automobiles and. radios and mechanical refri gerators and electrical appliances of all kinds. All the things that have kept our standard of living rising steadily. We have produc ed these things in vast abundance. Now, suddenly, our need is for weapons ot war with which to defend this American way of lifu we have been so happily building up. All we have to do to meet this need la la turn pur productive energy into producing weapons instead of devices for making liv ing richer and fuller and pleas anter. IN order to do that, we shall have to DO WITHOUT (tem porarily) the things that have made our American way of life so, pleasant- for we haven't Un capacity to produce both kinds of things at once.

On through the world, from Cuba to China, there was acclaim from the united nations and their friends for the great program an nounced yesterday by the presi dent. From the axis line up, the first reaction came In a broadcast ac count of President Roosevell's message by Stefanl, the official Italian agency, which said the figures announced for aircraft, tanks, cannon and merchant ship ping for 1(1-12 were ".sensational" while the figures for lOI.'t were "more sensational." London headline writers, edi torial writers, cartoonists and columnists Joined to impress up on I lie British the magnitude ot the United .states war effort. The Daily Express, one of Lord Heavei brook's papers, used as it's banner headline: "AEF coming to liritain." It reprinted a story of Aug. Iti. 1(117. about the arrival of Ameri can troops in Loudon and their march past King George V. Be neath that. It carried in Italics the chorus of "over there." In other parts of the paper were reproduc ed pictures of U. S. troops In Brit ain during lite World war. A four-column cartoon on the editorial page showed an eagle borne United States soldier greet ed hy a British trooper. At the back of the latter squatted a grin ning, helmeted Hon with the Union Jack Happing from his tail. Another London newspaper, the Pally Tel.-nniph. s lid editorially that' the United Slates had been summoned "to make the greatest national eflort the world has ev er known. There is no discharge in this war for Briton or Ameri can." The London Times called Presi dent Roosevelt's message inspir ing. The Daily Mirror said: "It marks the end of American Isola tionism.

DAILY DEVOTIONS DR. CHAS. A. EDWAHDS O God, our help In ages past, Our hope for years to come. Our shelter from the stormy, blast, And our eternal home. Before the hills in order stood Or earth received her frame, From everlasting Thou art God To endless years the same. A thousand ages, in Thy sight, Are like an evening gone; Short as tho watch that ends the night Before the rising sun. Under the shadow of Thy throne Still may we dwell secure; Sufficient is Thine arm alone, And our defense is sure. O God our help In ages past Our hope for years to come, Be Thou our guide while life shall last And our eternal home. Amen. ( William Cowper.) to the Editor VALUE OF AIR SPOTTERS STRESSED BY MARINE Roseburg, Ore., Jan. 5, 1942. Editor News-Review: I received this message from my son, that I fee) you will be glad to print in your paper.' It should carry encouragement to those who are patiently serving at the observation posts. My son is a second lieutenant with the 121st fighting squadron of the U. S. marines, and at present is lo cated at San Diego. His mes sage is as follows: "You can't overestimate the importance of air raid spotters. No fooling, we are helpless if we can't get in the air before they reach their target. I know it takes great patience to be al ways on the alert. If the enemy really does try something you can be sure he will be high and hard to spot. Ninety per cent ot winning a fight is the way you engage the enemy, and climbing up from below is the worst way. Sincerely, MRS.

I aimc Pirk aHa Beat Buddy Quickly By SID FEDER NEW YORK, Jan. 8. (API The biggest pile of "fresh" ever collected under one roof In the history of boxing will be heaped In the middle of Madison Square garden's ring tomorrow night, if the iron men keep arriving on their present schedule. This chunk of exchequer has been lured in by the heavyweight championship shindig between Joe Louis and Buddy Baer, a,nd, since that's our way when the cause Is good, by the fact that the show is for the navy relief fund fpr tho families of sailors at sea or those killed in action. So far a.s the nose-flattpning It self is concerned, Louis, making his last trip to the post before trading In his trunks for a sol dier suit and possibly his last outing for keeps Is high and hot for this one. This corner, having watched him tear sparring partners apart to see what makes them tick, picks the bomber to give Buddy enough, and a little extra, before the bell sounds starting the fourth. Buddy's not afraid; he has a right hand that packs a can of ether, and when he fought Louis last May he gave Joe a whiff of it. But he is; easy to hit and when a fighter has that nasty little habit, the safest way to fight Joe is out of a bomb proof shelter.
