Japanese armies, poised on the border, are ready to ' spring Into action. They count up on the anil-British disturbances, which are worse than censorship has told us, to expedite their con quest of that rich land. To the Japanese, anxious to bring all of the east under their rule, India would be a prize hard ly second to China. Many of us do not realize that, In addition to the natural resources of which we know, India has become the eighth Industrial country of the world. . ' To the United Nations, already under terrific handicaps In our attempt to preserve democracy, the loss of India would be another awful blow. Unless some settlement of the British-Indian controversy is worked out soon- If, Indeed, it is not already too late the lask of saving India will be well nigh Impossible. On principle, Americans sym Dathlze with the Indians and feel ' that they are entitled to their freedom. If India falls, because that freedom has not been grant rd, there will be an eruption of violent criticism of the British.; Before that happens, If It must, let us have in mind certain facts ivhlch, while they do not excuse British pre-war errors, arc very pertinent now. Most Important Is this: What ever was true before the war. Great Britain can not turn India loose now. India is not a nation, as we think of nations, nor are Indians a race. There is no unanimity on any single matter. There are 562 Indian stales, the largest with hi million citi zens. There are 24 languages, each sgxikcn by as many as a million Indians. 1'wo Indians out of three are Hindus. One out of four Is a Moslem. The two hate each other with an all-consuming haired. While the Hindus greatly out number the Moslems, the latter . are better fighters, anil could pro long civil war for years. The Hindus Insist upon free 4 dom of India as an entity. Thus they would rule the Moslems by force of numlMTs. The Moslems insist upon a separate stale, and Will fight for It. There Is no way m which Brit ain now can turn India loose without provoking a war between these two major factions. Presumably Washington lias been exploring every possibility to find some compromise which would Induce the Indians to de fer settlements of this problem until after Japan has been beaten. If such efforts fail, let's not be too hard on the British. Editorials on News (Contlnuta from page L) own purposes. But wc can only wait unci THEltE is no oil at Stalingrad. The oil is in the Caucasus -most of it south of the Caucasus range. Only IS per cent of the Russian supply is In the two fields north of the mountains. Presumably a determined ef fort will be made to hold Ihe great Baku fields to the south. Churchill told us a while back shout the British tenth army in Iran and Iraq w hich might have (o support the Russians. V'our map will indicate thai this army can be moved up (if it hasn't been already) to supirart the Russian forces in the extreme southern Caucasus. In that event, the hoe will be to hold Hitler off for the winter. 50 far as news teaciiin;,' the world Is concerned, the Rus- sians are fighting to the death, taking their losses at Stalingrad und saying nothing. BEHIND THE SCENES, you may be quite sure they have been bringing all the pressure they know how to bring on us and the British to start a second front and take some of the killing Ger man weight off their necks. The fact that we haven't start ed a second front is the best pos sible proof that we simply aren't prepared to do It this year with out running risks too great to be taken. There Is no lack of DESIRE on our part. We know what the losses taken by the Russians mean. But it wiuld be no service to Russia to start something we aren't prepared to finish. That must be the explanation of our failure to start a diver sion. THE situation In New Guinea re mains bad. The Japs have advanced anoth er eight miles toward Port Mores by, bringing them within 32 miles of this important outpost. They are reported to have been strongly reinforced during the past week and are apparently de termined to take Port Moresby. IN the Solomons they are slill j'O ing after Guadalcanal Island and its important airfield. American fliers along with the marines on the ground, are re ported to have beaten off a third attempt to take Guadalcanal. Two Jap cruisers have been hit with bombs and aerial torpedoes of Choiseul island, some 200 miles north of Guadalcanal. AMERICAN planes, attacking the Japs at Kiska, sink two enemy minesweepers, damage three big cargo ships and several smaller craft, kill or wound an estimated 500 Japs, shoot down six Jap planes and set fire to WAREHOUSES AND SUPPLY DUMPS. It sounds encouraging. But oon 1 overiooK tne i.-ici. inmcaiea by the losses inflicted, that the j Japs have been accumulating I considerable forces at Kiska. Note the presence of mine sweepers, which must have been brought there for offensive use against American mine fields. Note the presence of warehouses and supply dumps. All these things point to the cnniittsUin that the Japs are get ting quite a toehold In Ihe Aleu tians. KRNR Mutual Broadcasting Bystem, 1490 Kilocycles.

No surprise to army and navy officers was the dropping of an Incendiary bomb by a Japa nese airman in the forest 6f Curry county, Ore. Since Pearl Harbor high military officals have repeatedly declared lhat Ihe pacific coast is In danger of such an attack. They do not anticipate an invasion, hut they have held lhe belief that eventually the enemy would attack the forests, and later mililary objectives such as war Industries. It Is their opin ion that the lire bomb unloaded near the sawmill town of Brook ings is only Ihe first of a series of appearances which Ihe Japanese will make. ( One result of the visit1 of Ihe enemy airplane has been lo in crease the alertness of the volun teer observers along Ihe coast of th Pacific northwest from Cres cent City to British Columbia and to add to Ihe vigilance of watchers in the lookout stations in the forested area. Roorts here are that the network of observ ers is so numerous that no plane, enemy or otherwise, can come In from the sea without its presence being reported regardless of the weather. There are needed, how ever, additional volunteers to watch the sea and sky. ft is assumed that the subma rine which mothered the flying boat is one of the latest of the Japanese fleet. There has been an understanding that the Japanese had evolved a submarine carrying a small hydroplane that could either be catapulted from the deck or launched from the side on a smooth sea. This is the type of sub that was the target of an army plane oft the Oregon coast. Jap Subs Eluslvo How many Japanese subma rines have been browsing off the west coast, to the knowledge of Ihe army or navy, is a military secret, but the general public has been advised of tour lone off California, two off Oregon and one off Vancouver island) and Ihe public has also been told of submarines which have sunk at least two ships off the strait of Juan de Fuca ami of a British flag merchantman which limped Into Vancouver, B. C, after an en counter with an enemy underwa ter craft. In Alaskan and Aleu tian waters the enemy has oper aled these boats but with what success if any is also a mili lary secret.

The sub marine that shot at a radio sta tion at Estevan point and the one that attempted to shell Fort Stev ens disappeared without even-ja ,22 bullet being fired at them. The Japanese aviator over the j Siskiyou national forest has set tled once for all the contention of senators and representatives of the northwest that the enemy will seek to destroy the forests with Incendiary bombs. It has hapiwned once and will, It is be lieved, be repeated. Eastern con gressmen regarded the forests of the Pacific northwest as some thing as remote as China and were loath to appropriate a few million dollars for fire protection. This attitude may now change. Spruce Te Be Logged With' $3,000,000 advanced by a government agency a midwest citizen has left for Alaska to get out spruce. To loggers and Urn bermen he has met he admitted lhat he came from a flat country where there are no trees and that he knows nothing of the business, but expects to build up an organi zation when he arrives in Alaska. Among other Items of equipment which he says he has is a 62-ton yarder, which would be about the right size for Paul Bunyon, Ow ing to the rainy season, this mid westerner may not be able to snake out the trees before late next spring. Although the Pacific northwest is saturated with ex eriencecl loggers, they have been passed over and the job has been placed In the hands of a tyro. The S3.000.000 would more than solve the spruce situation for sev- j era I dozen camps in Washington and Oregon by making possible the construction of roads Into the woods. FORMER U. S.

N Football Practice Hits Fu9 Tempo At Roseburg High Football practice at Roseburg high school is receiving much at tention as Coach Jim Davis Is working to whip a team into shape to meet the Recdsport War riors in the season's opener, which ts only nine days away. Lacking experienced men in the line, Davis is struggling to drill fundamentals Into new recruits hi time to make a presentable showing against the coast team, which, although K has dropped out of the Lane-Douglas league, is nevertheless reported to be a strong aggregation. To speed up mastery of funda mentals. Coach Davis has sche duled two practice sessions' dally during this week. Drills win oe held at 10 a. ml and 7 p. m. Mon day, Tuesday and Wednesday, Da vis reported today. The squad has been going through funda mental blocking - and tackling drills on dummies so far in the training period, but wns schedul ed for contact drill today and a scrimmage session Tuesday. Tackle Talent Needed. The big problem this season, Davis reports, is to find replace ments for the tackle positions. At the close of last season it ap peared that the tackle spots would be well plugged with four veterans, but all have been lost by removal or ineligibility and it now is necessary to find replace ments. , Bob Krell, sophomore, who was a member of last year s squad, is one of three prospects, the others being George Marstcrs, a trans fer, who is showing much prom ise, and Roy Knigge, a member of last year's squad, who, despite a lack of weight, is making a good showing. The backfleld prospects are good, Insofar as the starting line up is concerned, with Bert Young, Lee Wimberly, Jack Calkins and Jack Weaver, all lettermcn, back this year. Reserve strength is a problem in both the line and back field. The return of Harold Cacy from summer work is expected to bolster the halfback situation. Bob Harrison and Bill Fulps also are showin? iro well In m-acrlce and are expected to be likely can cildates for backfleld reserves. Sacramento Wins Coast League Hag By Single Game (By the Associated Press) Pepper Martin, who pitched and won his first professional baseball game despite a case of poison ivy and a sprained ankle, didn't work any harder that day in Oklahoma than he did yester day In directing Sacramento to its first Pacific coast league championship. Las Angeics tea tne senators by two games as the teams open ed a seven game series here last Tuesday. Immediately Sacra mento, which three times missed pennants by hair's breadth mar gins, dropped the first two games. That meant the team had to take every one of the last five con testswhich it did. Martin's crew, some rookies and some veterans from the ma jors, snatched the first game of a doubleheader from Los Angeles yesterday In the eighth inning with home runs by Centcrfielcler Adams and Catcher Mueller. Both are National league veterans. Then FreitaS, who has worked for both the Athletics and the Cincinnati Reds, hurled a four hit second game victory, 5 to 1, which was never in doubt after two Solon runs in the first in ning. The 1942 championship comes to Sacramento after flirting with the state capital club through 14 years. In 1928 the team tied with the San Francisco team but lost in the playoff. In 1937, the year that post-season playoffs deter mined the championship, the Scnaotrs ended the regular sche dule in first place by a fourgame margin. By 19-10 the year before Mar tin came, the team had lost its spark and finished down in fifth place. Last year Pepper kept it on top of the standings for 25 weeks, but in the final seven days the remainder of what was once a 16 game lead to Seattle had dis appcarcd. Started in Cellar. This year the Solons lost 14 of their first 20 contests to repose in last place. Then they took the lead away from Los Angeles on June 15, only to lose it a month later, July 16. After that they stayed in second place until yes terdaythe day that counted. Sacramento beat Los Angeles Saturday 6 to 5. Other games Saturday saw San Francisco best San Diego 6-3. Portland take a doubleheader from Hollywood j 6-3 and 8 5. and Seattle down Oak land twice 2-1 and 4 3. Yesterday San Diego nailed down its upper division fourth place spot by taking the single game it needed from San Fran Cisco to avert a tie. and an extra one for good measure. The scores were 12-4 and 1-0, and left San Francisco behind the Padres by three games. Elsewhere Oakland twice de feated Seattle 4 0 and 10-5, while Hollywood split with Portland. The Stars won the first game 1-0 and the Beavers trlumped 7-5 in the nightcap. Playoffs Now Slated. The league's Shaughnessy play offs begin tomorrow with Seattle meeting Sacramento. The Raln lers have agreed to play all of the contests on the Senators' nome grounds because of transportation problems. The other two teams in the president's cup scries, the Angels and San Diego, meet at Los Angeles Wednesday. Three of the seven games will be play ed in San Diego. Country Club Bond HoWors' Mm.

A tournament and dutch feed is scheduled for Tuesday evening for male members of the club and their invited guests.

Cardinals Keep 21-Game Lead in "i National League By JUDSON BAILEY (Associated Press Sports Writer) The struggle for the National league pennant has now been re duced to the point where St. Louis can clinch It with any com- hfnatinn of fivA ulptni-ino nt ,U-: . - - - - - -" w Willi own or five defeats for the Brook lyn uougers. Since the Cardinals have six oarrwvt left to nljiv that fhey can lose one of them and still win even though the Dodgers cap ture an seven 01 ineir remaining tussles.

Cooper's feat came in an air tight duel with his former team- male, warnene, who scattered seven safeties but wn rifu on a double steal which brought nopp nome in tne iourth Inning. This was the 100th triumph for the Cardinals and Cooper's 21st. Brooklyn was beaten in the first game 7-3 and the defeat was all the more humiliating because Wyatt, the Dodgers' No. 1 star, was knocked out in less than four c Innings. Credit for the victory i) went to Hughes. Newsom, self-styled pennant in surance for the Dodgers, pitched six-hit ball to win the nightcap 4-2 and kept Brooklyn's pennant hopes from dying. American League Games In the American league the New York Yankees beat the Bos ton Red Sox 2-1 and then lost 3-2 in eight innings when darkness halted play. The Philadelphia Athletics clos- '' ed their season a week ahead of time, by a quirk of the schedule but no doubt to the relief of all concerned. Washington beat the A's in the first game 11-9 with a seven-run rally in the ninth, and Philadelphia salvaged the night cap 21 with the help of four Sen ator errors. Harder nitched a twn.hlt o.n shutout against the Detroit Tigers but the Cleveland Indians dropped ino secona session 6-3.
