Eloquence, generally speaking, has little place as men face cannon-hurled death. The doer, not the sayer, wins the medals and decorations. Yet time and again men have leaped to victory with a cry on their Hps. Phrases have fired a nation "Remember the Alamo," "Surrender, hell, we haven't be gun to fight," "Give me liberty, or give me death," "Dam the torpedoes, full speed ahead." Abraham Lincoln at Gettys burg thought "the world will' little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can nev er forget what they did here." Ills words still ring, but the battle rages only In history books. Now we have a man whose words equal his daring, whose j phrases slash as did his men on Batumi. Here's proof that the MueArthur'8 magnificence shines not only on the battlefield: ' "There shall be no compromise. We shall win or we shall die." To the Australian Parliament. "Men will not fight and men tvlll not die .unless they know, ivhat they tire fighting and dying tor." Assuring reporters in Aus tralia he would hold back only news vHlunble to' the enemy. "I came through and I shall re turn;" Arriving In Australia', lrom the Philippines. "Take every other normal pre caution for protection of the head quarters, but let's keep the flag flying." Reply to officer Insisting flag should be removed from Ma nila Army headquarters. "Today, Jan. 30, lfll'i, the anni versary of your birth, smoke bogrlmcd men covered Willi the marks of battle, rise from the foxholes of Butaan and the bat teries of Corregidor to pray rev erently that God may bless Im measurably the president of the United States." nirthday message to President Roosevelt. "Only those are fit lo live who are not afraid to tile." To a West Point graduating class. "This Job will last a long time." After marriage to Jean Falrcloth. "I shall lead the patrol to let the boys know that somebody at headquarters Is willing to go Willi them." Reply to officer In 1!)1H who tried to keep him from going over the top. "Americans never quit." Ordei lug U. S. boxing team back into competition at lies Olympic Games after coach withdrew team in protest over a decision. "Very well, If we lose ,10(10 men, we lose 3001." When warned in France that a certain operation would result In 3000 casualties. "I shall keep (he soldier's faith." Assuming command of United Nations' forces in South, west Pacific. Here tlien slunds a man who can and has and will back up his words with his fists. The enemy know3 the sting or those fists and has felt the lash of that tongue. Yet It can be as gentle as a moth it. He talks with the simplicity of Lincoln, but those common, stralghtroi-ward words drive deeper than the oratorical blasts of a hundred sunshine patriots. As an Australian reporter pu! It, "He Is not only a first -cliuw thinker and Tighter but a fine speaker. When you hear him, you may not rememlier a word lie ays, but you will understand how lie infused his forces with such a heroic fighting spirit." Marriage Deterrent ""PHE rush of War weddings nv parenfly may brine drastic measures In Waslilnglotl. There the office of price administration has suggested that bakers stop slicing bread. This proposal pur portedly is offered as a means of saving time, labor, and paper. If the prospective bride Is well aware that she may have to slice bread, she'll think again about marrying that lad before he goes off to war. Why, one of these days they might even ask her to bake it. Editorials on News (Continued from pag 1.) of the much-talked campaign to Join up with Hitler. OREM1ER General Hldekl Tojo says (for public consump tion): "If India should remain as be fore under the military control of Britain, it would, I am afraid, be unavoidable in the course of our subjugation of British forces there that India will suffer great calamities." He adds: "British influence in India in now about to be exterminated." TPHIS gives a slant on the propa ganda the Japs have been conducting in India. It may also provide a slant on India's dicker ing leaders. They've been listening, of course, to the Japs. rvSPATCHES tell us that Louis Johnson, ex-assistant U. S. secretary of war and now FDR's personal minister to India, has had talks with Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, past president, and Maul ana Abul Kalan Azud, present president, of the All-India Na tional Congress. What they talked about Is not divulged. He is said to bear a letter from FDR of undisclosed contents to an unidentified Indian leader. It Is undisclosed whether he has yet delivered It. His talks arc described as "ex ploratory," which all horse-traders will understand. THE United States, of course, is ; """'B " it tnii iu uiiiilf tne British antl the Indian leaders to gether.

' ;"Af :jTHE'!-:- WASHINGTON, D. C, April S A few days ago one of the dol lar a-year men of WPB Boss Don ald Nelson announced that small business should close up shop and not waste the economic strength of the nation; the war effort should be In the hands of big business. Originally, Nelson had some such Idea but he has chang ed with his discovery that produc tion must be increased. The United States senate has now at tempted to solve the problem by setting up a corporation (within WPB) devoted exclusively to small business and authorizing $100,000,000. If It works many little Industries In the northwest will be saved .from extinction. Unlike RFC, which expects loans to be repaid and Jesse Jones asks for good security, the terms for small business will be more liberal. It ,is conceded by the senators that many loans will never find their way back to the treasury. Considering the waste and excessive profits now going on In the war effort, the small losses to be incurred will be neg ligible, and hasn't Nelson said to produce and forget the cost? The new corporation will act1 as a prime contractor and let sub contracts to little industry and itnese small snops win oe given the same attention as the big cor porations; the corporation can ! buy land, expand plants, provide j equipment, j Salvation of Garages ! This new set-up will be a bene I fit to hundreds of garages in the ! northwest and save them from going out of business because of ! the tire shortage. A survey dis i closes that there are many garag :es with welding units, lathes, shapers and grinding machines, all tools that are needed and can be used. Many of the major lum ber operators have their own railroad equipment and their me chanics are qualif jed and equipped to turn out innumerable articles requiring steel and other metals and they can make gondolas and freight cars now badly needed. Scores of metal working shops scattered from one end to the other of the three states are cap All il lakes lo gel the feel of refreshment is an ice-cold bottle of Coca-Cola. Its laste has the flavor of refreshment. And it leaves you with a pleasant affer-serrse of being completely refreshed. Enjoy ice-cold Coca-Cola. It's the reo th'mg. able of manufacturing something for an airplane, it only bolts and screws. The small foundries, stove works, plywood plants and some of the pulp mills can do war work. All of these industries have been ignored in the past, for pro curement officers of army and navy preferred to do business with some 100 of the largest cor porations in the United States. Injustice Corrected Truman senatorial committee investigating the war effort, af ter a study of the bomber and in terceptor factories of the west coast, charged that delay in pro duction of these badly needed air ships is the fault or failure of responsible government to give subcontracts to several hundred small shops which make the thousand-odd necessary parts entering into construction; the govern ment procurement has been more anxious to expand the assembly plants and overlook the shops that make the gadgets. Senator Mon C. Wallgren of Washington signed this report. For months a northwest little factory, employing 600 workers, begged for a loan of $500,000 to expand. This factory has been offered $1,000,000 of orders for a certain airplane part; other air plane corporations offered addi tional orders. Nothing happened although no fighting plane can go into the air and drop a bomb without this item the little indus try can produce. Another north west concern, ready to turn out small boats for the navy or make machinery, could get nowhere when its president came to the national capital and offered his services. The maker of those heavy logging trucks which can go anywhere in the forests and emerge on the highway with tons of plywood logs, offered to build these trucks to carry guns. He was turned down and a big east ern corporation which never made a logging truck was given the contract. The small business corporation, authorized by the senate, will stop this sort of attitude on the part of the government. Mining Will Be Aided Industry is being appealed to "to do more," but the unending line of business men who come to Washington return home empty handed and many are compelled to close their shops for want of material to produce for civilian use. All this the senate hopes to cure. The mining industry, dormant in Washington, Oregon and Ida ho, will be eligible for loans from the $100,000,000. There is a short age of copper, zinc, lead, tung sten, chrome and other metals now buried in the ground- of the northwest.
