Beating the U Boats
IT is not necessary to have access
to any secret statistics to real
ize that as of today, and as ot any
tomorrow soon enough to be sig
nificant,' the United Nations are
losing the battle of the Atlantic.
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?

N Moscow today U. 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.

DAILY DEVOTIONS
DR. CHAS. A. EDWARDS
"The way of the cross is the
only ope that can lead to world
fellowship and peace." (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.

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. United

whether it comes from Yakima or
Roseburg, and frequently the
writer wishes tx) know why "the
facts" are not published in the
newspapers or "the whole truth,','
instead of accounts of - engage
ments from one to two months
old and rarely any information
about American losses. 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.
