Anyone who does not dedi cate himself to this, as well as to winning the war, has failed himself, has failed America, has failed humanity.

It , should have lioen free long ago. one may say. Yet It is free today, and In the face of tremendous pressure from the military and naval situation, Britain has not moved to threaten Irish freedom, though Eire's neutrality Is a Ire mendous disadvantage to her. So wilh India. Perhaps India should have been free long ago. It Is n complicated question.

WE admire the fight the Rus ' slans have been putting up. Yet we look at the map and see that Valdlvostok is only a few miles (comparatively) from Japan. It would be so easy to send Russian bombers across those seemingly few miles of wat er and smack the Japs in their great cities at home. Because they don't do it, we are tempted to criticize the Russians. CRITICISM, if it is to be of il,.n mi. ha PflMCTWIIP. TIVE. If we are to criticize con structively, we must know what we are talking about. When we criticize the British and the Russians, we DON'T know what we're talking about.

Heroic Igorots In Bataan Wipe Out Japanese Regiment WASHINGTON, Feb. 24 (AP) Fierce J go-rot tribesmen who fought from the swaying tops of American tanks in a battle of an nihilation with the Japanese in vaders had contributed a stirring new chapter to the Philippine de fense epic. They completely wiped out a entire enemy regiment. General Douglas MacArthur reported, in avenging the death of a company of their own kinsmen. "For sheer breath-taking and heart stopping desperation," the Philippines commander told the war department that the, exploit was unmatched In the struggle on the Uatatin peninsula : , ,., i The action, which took' place early this month, was recounted in a communique. The Igorots are a pagan tribe living in the mountains of northern Luzon. In dustrious and peace-loving, they are absolutely fearless" and have made excellent fighting men with the Philippine commonwealth ar my, the war department said. Serve As Eye For Tanks An Igorot company of perhaps 125 men had been wiped out to a man in vain defense of a position on the rugged battle lines. To re store the position, an attack was ordered by a tank unit supported hy Igorot infantry eager to even the score. Jungle foliage was so thick the American tank drivers could not see, so the Igorot commander mustered his men to the top. where they served as eyes for the drivers. Kx posed targets, they went shouting into action, firing automatic pistols. "Bataan has seen many wild mornings, but nothing to equal this," MacArthur said. "No quar ter was asked and none was giv en. Always above the din of the battle rose the fierce shouts of the Igorots as they rode the tanks land fired their pistols. I "No gun. no thicket, only death itself could stop that mad rush. Of all the bloody spots on the peninsula that proved to be the bloodiest. "W hen the attack was over, the remnants of the tanks and the Igorots were still there, lint the 201 h Japanese infantry regiment was completely annihilated." The regiment numbered 1.200 to 1,500 men, officials estimated.

Two developments particularly buoyed India's hopes: 1. The farewell of . Chinese Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek, who has been visiting In India. Speaking presumably with the consent of Britain and the United States and apparently addressing himself to the British, he declar ed dramatically Saturday: . "The vast majority of ' the' world's opinion is in full sympa thy with India s aspiration lor freedom." 2. Informed British sources as serted yesterday that Prime Min ister Churchill planned to enlarge India's powers of self-government and send a cabinet representative there to try to "put the India problem on a more satisfactory footing." There was as yet no precise in dications of how far Britain would go toward granting autono my, but the government was said to be planning tentatively for an Indian national administration headed by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, former president of the nationalist congress party in which Mohandas K. Gandhi has been the guiding spirit.

The births numbered about 2, 500,000 and were second only to the 2,600,000 record set in 1921. One reason for last year's big crop was the fact, the bureau said, that a large number of the record 1921 babies themselves were mar ried and producing children last year. The draft, "which helped boost marriages to a record ot 1,505,000 also may have had something io do with It. Marriages have been so unusually numerous the last couple of years, in fact, that the bureau predicted another big crop of babies this year, "even if large numbers of married men are in ducted into the armed forces." In 1921 there were many babies because the AEF had just come home from France and was busy reestablishing family life. The baby crop was so big last year that It exceeded deaths by 1,090,000, thus increasing the na tion's population by an amount approximately equal to the popu lation of the state of Oregon. The bureau added that experts could not agree on whether the recent increase in the American birthrate now at 18.8 per 1,000 population was temporary or represented a long time trend. The American birth rate fell al most steadily for two centuries up to 1933 and has increased gradually since then. The low point in 1933 was 16.6 per 1,000 population. In Germany, the bureau added, the birth rate has been dropping since the war and was last report ed at 20 per 1,000 population in 1940.

CHAS. A. EDWARDS For ages untold humanity u.. - MfuutpHi idleness and iiaa worshipped those who could throw the burdens inciaenc cu their livelihood onto the backs ni nthoi-e The Idea had long been held that the income of the world should go to those who own the world, but to those who perform the work of the world, just the barest kind of living, and the barer the living, the more ready they would be to work. But a new idea is seizing the minds of men. It is that the income of the world should go to those who do the work of the world. Toil is not so dispised, and the toiler is coming into a position of greater respectability. It is easier for us to cease the wor ship of the idle in time of war, when the ships of the enemy come in sight the battleship clears its decks for action. So in a time of war the will to eliminate and the process of eliminating economic para sites is speeded up as an abso lute necessity to an all out for war efforts. Germany fights to maintain the old idea of infer iority and superiority. They claim that they are of superior blood, fit to be rulers. All the rest of the world is filled with "lesser breeds," fit only to be their slaves. More than a gen eration of intensive education along this line has made the deluded Germans cocksure and most enthusiastic about their superiority. They worship their own superiority and that of their leader. Amen. 5:30 Capt.

Your Federal income Tax No. 44 Deduction For Losses Other Than From Sale or Exchange of Cap tial Assets Deductions for losses are di vided into four classes, and to be allowed must follow closely I lit wording of the income tax law. Losses are deductible if incurred (1) in the taxpayer's trade, busi ness, or profession; (2) in any transaction entered into for prof it; 13) from fires, storms, ship wreck, or other casualties, or from theft; and 14) from wager ing transactions. Business losses result, usually, from the purchase and sale of merchandise. Such losses usually are ascertained by means of in ventories, which are required whenever in the opinion of the commissioner of internal reve nue their use is necessary to de termine the income of any tax payer. The term "transaction entered into for profit" means any kind of business proposition. For ex ample, a taxpayer purchases an automobile to be used solely for business purposes, and which is sold at a loss. As this is a busi ness proposition from star! lo finish, the loss is deductible. But if he had purchased the automo bile to be used for pleasure or convenience, the deduction would not be allowed; it was not a Iran saction entered into for profit. A loss sustained in the theft of an automobile purchased for pleasure or convenience is de ductible, as it falls in class 3 If, because of faulty driving but not of "willful negligence." an auto mobile maintained for pleasure is damaged, the taxpayer may claim the loss sustained, as it comes within the meaning of the word "casualty." Where damages result from the faulty driving of an automobile with which the automobile of the taxpayer col lides. the loss occasioned" to the taxpayer likewise is deductible. Losses from wagering transac tions, whether legal or illegal, are deductible only to the extent of gains from such transactions The excess of such losses over the gains is not deductible. All losses are deductible only to the extent to which they are not compensated for by insurance or otherwise.

SKATING SUNDAY 2:00 to 4:30 Closed Sunday Night RAINBOW RINK WINCHESTER Ammunition On U.S. Warship Too Old, Claim Made WASHINGTON, Feb. 23 (AP) The navy department said to day that Rear Admiral W. H. P. Blandy, chief of ordnance, was investigating a report that ammu nition supplied to an American warship operating in the Pacific was old and ineffective. The report came from Martin Agronsky, an NBC commentator I broadcasting Irom faydney, Aus- tralla. No official report of such j a deficiency has been received, j the navy said, but Blandy began I his inquiry on the basis of Agron I sky's broadcast. ! Agronsky said he was told by J a navy air lieutenant that the anti-aircraft ammunition on a I warship escorting U. S. troops I was issued in 1930 and 1931 and I had failed to fire uniformly enough for gunners to work out ' a fire pattern necessary for ef I fective anti-aircraft work, i NBC quoted Agronsky as fol I lows: I "The pilot told me he had come ashore from an American warshii I which I cannot name. ' "The warship was convoying American troops ships somewhere I in Java. When the convoy was j six hours at sea, the warship pick: ! ed up a broadcast from Tokyo ac tually describing both the make ! up of the convoy and its destina 1 tion. Two hours later 32 Jap ! bombers appeared overhead and I bombed the convoy. "I asked the lieutenant if they j had shot down any Japs. He an- ; j swered it was so hard to hit the ' Japs with the ammunition on j board. I asked him why. "He explained that the anti-aircraft ammunition was 1930 and 1931 issue and when It had been i tested a year ago, it was found to ' be only 30 per cent efficient. . "The lieutenant told me It, was impossible with this ammunition ; to work out a fire pattern, f hIJ) added he would like to tie to the j foremast the gentlemen respon- ', sible for United States, warships i being equipped with this type of I ammunition." , ... , China's Example Points Out Victory''' Way, Envoy Says VANCOUVER, B. '6 Feb.! 24-(CP)-Dr. Hu Shih, Chinese am bassador to the United Slates, told the United Nations that,".amid "disheartening" reports from the Pacific war zone they shouljl "learn from China a little lesson in patience and nol swerve in our common faith." ' China has fought on against overwhelming odds for 56 months because of an "unswerving ani unfaltering faith in the ultimail triumph of her just cause." he said in an address to a luncheon supporting Canada's second, vic tory loan. ' ' ' . "The tide has now turned," he declared. "The faith of my people has been vindicated. But victory' is not in sight. A long, hard war still faces your nation, my nation and all our allies. But we have not the slightest doubt about ul timate and not too distant victory of our common fight against our common foes ... "In this dark hour I ask you to think of your friend and new ally, China," the ambassador con tinued. His country had been fighting Japan for four years and eight months, and in thai time had lost all its important coasiV and river cities, nil its model'' centers of industry and manufac- ture, and all direct access to the i sea. The Chinese government had lost over 90 per cent of its revc- nue, tens of million were home- 3 less, jobless and penniless and war casualties were tremendous. Yet China had fought on. The most essential factor in this continuing struggle, Dr. Hu said had been China's "fighting faith" in the justice of her cause, a faith which had now been justified.
