That fact Is inescapable in the light of official statements that axis submarines, ipostly German, are sinking our vessels faster than we can replace them. Considering also the official concessions that we never had enough shipping space for the war Job, the only sane conclusion Is that a bad situation is steadily becoming worse. This could mean that we shall lose this war. It may mean just that, unless we show a little of that American Imagination and Initiative pf which we love to boast. How can we beat fhe U-boats, solve our shipping headaches, and got to the fighting fronts those supplies which are useless while they He around factories, ware houses and piers? Obviously there are three meth ods, apd no more. I 1c frst is to reduce I he sub marine loll. Thus far every effort In that direction has failed. When ever the public has been told that tho problem was being solved, sinkings have climbed like the head on a glass being filled with beer. ' The second is to build even more ships even faster than our nstoundlngly successful current program is doing. And where shall wo get the raw materials In time? The third Is to cast tradition to the winds, climb out of the deep rut wo are In, and boat German Initiative with American Ingenu ity and initiative by carrying our cargoes where the submarines can not even see them much less torpedo them. That is what proponents of a huge air freight fleet, to supple ment and perhaps even replace the water-borne merchant ma rine, arc urging. They want to take the empha sis off costly ships which can be sunk faster than we can build them, and put it on airplanes which have a better chance of get ting through. Aeronautical science has reach ed a point where we can build aircraft capable of carrying two of our largest tanks, or 20 of our P--I0 fighters, or corresponding quantities of other armament, thousands of miles, non slop. They can gq to the farthest corners of the war front, leave their cargoes, pick up any return loads, and be back in a week. It takes a ship five months for some of theso round trips-provided the ship gets back at all. Radical? Sure. Daring? Of course. A gamble? Probably. Isn't this the time for daring -for a gamble that will Improve the odds now against us? Editorials on News (Contlnuad from pnga 1.) Hindu caste system.

S.-Ambassa-' dor to Russia Standley says: "I have not found the slightest Indicatipn that the Russians have any Idea pf QUITTING." His statement puts into words this fear that Is in every mind in every allied country: '"Will the Russians QUIT?" . They quit once. Will they quif again? WHEN the, Russians quit in , 1917, Jhey had little enough tp fight for and even Jess to FIGHT WITH. Whole divisions were going inlo the trenches with out even guns in their hands. A government that sends lis men helpless and unarmed Into battle to be slaughtered by the enemy Isn't much (o fight fpr. ' This writer has a strong Idea that what Russia does will be de tprmlnod chiefly by the Russians' belief and FAITH in what .they are fighting for. OLIVER CROMWELL voiced . one of the great truths when he said: "Give me (as a fighter) a rustic In homespun who knows what he is fighting for and LOVES WHAT HE KNOWS." WHEN the allies win, it will be because their peoples know what they are fighting "for and love what they know. Whop the axis autocrats lose, It will be because their peoples HAVE NO LOVE for what they are fighting for. KRNR Mutual Broadcasting 8ytem, ' 1490 Kilocycles.

(Chiang Kai-Shek.) Bishop Arthur J. Moore calls the following the most beautiful story that has come out of the war in China. The Allen Memorial church in Shanghai is considered the mother church of Methodism n China. One day the Metho dist ministers of the Japanese mission asked the Chinese Christians to permit them to use this historic church as a place of worship for the many Japanese soldiers stationed in Shanghai after the capture of the city. At first', the Chinese hesitated, but after praying over the question granted full permission, saying "We would not want the world to hear that the doors of our church had been closed to any group that wanted to worship God." What a beautiful example "set by that sorely wounded Ra tion. Those who had so recent ly learned the teachings of Jesus forgot their injuries .and humiliations to follow His teachings to the letter. "Do good to them which despiteful ly use you and persecute you." Surely above tlje roar of burst ing shells one can hoar the Master's Voce: "Well done, good and faithful servants.'' "Love your enemies, bless them that cruse ypu," is a real tost of our religious life. It would be difficult to find a more Christian spirit than those Chinese Christians. Amen.

HEpupTM Concerning t)je , - NORTHWEST A Viewed at th National Capitol By John W. Kelly WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 13. If the United States had a gen eral staff of professional fighters instead of amateurs it is believed that such a staff would recognize that Japan Is the major enemy, the one on our doorstep, arid not Herr Hitler, across the Atlantic. There is dissatisfaction with the present leadership which places stress on liquidating the Germans and gives secondary consideration to disposing of the Japanese. Con gress does not make the foreign policy," that is the responsibility of the president; otherwise con gress would listen to ihe demand ux x wesieru states. Personally interested in: giving Japan first place are 22 members of the senate and 43 members of the house. This is the strength of the U western states In congress, those'regarded as under the guns of the Nipponese. Nlany of the outstanding members of the sen ate are Hsted in the 22 and some of the best qualified house memDers come irom tne jar west. It is seldom that all these senators and representatives work together and take Identical positions upon any point,' but they are in agreement thaf the Japanese should be put in their place before a great army is sent across the seas to rescue ' Eur opean countries from the Nazis. Japan is regarded as the home front, the immediate enemy, the actual threat. All the lawmakers from the west have received many letters from the man in the street, from mothers, from farmers, from hankers, from widows who have given their last son to the army. The tenor of these letters, scrawl ed in longhand or typewritten, is the same; they want to know what is being done with the bil lions of dollars appropriated and authorized; why the United Nat- lonr are steadily losing; why Pres ident Roosevelt and 'Winston Churchill do not give young, act ive strategists an opportunity why it is considered advisable to throw everything thej.

While Japanese broadcasts should al ways be taken with a grain of salt, more data on the Japanese in the Aleutians have been re ceived from their radio than from OAK AND STEPHENS government communiques, orat least the Japanese have been first' to announce their activities in invading American territory. The enemy; of course, also min imizes its losses of men, ships and combat planes, as do the com muniques. There is nothing members of congress can do except gripe; the war is not in their hands; they have voted every dollar that has been requested and voted it blind ly, not even being fold what the money is for. The few members of fhe appropriation committee who have been advised of certain objects to be obtained with the money are sworn to secrecy; other members- of congress are told nothing. Congress knows just as much and no more of what 1s doing with the "grand strategy" as any newspaper read er. . : Orders for a dimout of all west coast towns as long as the war shall last have renewed agitation for giving primary attention to the Japanese. -and the suggestion has been niapie that fhe thousand? of soldiers being trained at Helena, Mont., (Canadians as well as Americans) as air borne units be used against ttie Invaders on the islands of the Aleutians. This mixed command are paratroops, drilled in mountain fighting and marine landing and are to be carried by transports with equip ment Including artillery. How ever, instead of being sent to the Aleutans this brigade pf special ists will probably be shipped to Europe.
