real hope Is to win an easier
peace. That's what they'll be
lighting for from here on.
Some of them are beginning
to reflect that they'd have been
better off if they hadn't gone to
war.
Our remaining job Is to make
them EVERLASTINGLY SUKE
of that.
DON Whitehead, AP correspon
dent in Sicily, tells a moving
story of the plight of the com
mon, everyday PEOPLE In
blasted Trolna, which we've just
taken after a bombardment that
left the town in ruins.
He says:
"I walked through a passage
way Inlo the basement of a
Ihick-walled Norman church
built in the 12th century. Here
was the black hell of Trolna.
.Scores upon scores" ',of!,' people
were living all over one another.
The stench of sweating human
bodies, garlic and human ex
crement was appalling."
E adds:
H
"Along one wall a row of old
men stared listlessly Into space.
They seemed to have neither
. strength nor Ihc will to move.
Next to lliem a wounded man
groaned while another held him
In his arms and wept.
"He looked at me and said In
broken English: 'The great Muss
olini did this.' "
R
RIGHT.
The great Alexander did it to
the Mediterranean world of Ills
day.
The great Genghis Khan did
it to interior Europe and Asia.
The great Wilhelin the Kaiser
did it in 1!)11-1!I8.
The great Hitler is doing It
NOW. And the great Tojo.
THE great Napoleon took the
poor common people of France
in the hour of their deliverance
from the heartless aristocrats
who had ground them into mere
serfs, only a step above animals,
and bled them while on the bat
tlefields of Europe for a quarter
of a century.
Hi- MIGHT have taken them
In the fateful hour of their de
liverance from I heir oppressors
and made of them a peaceful
(except for vital HOME DE
FENSE), happy, progressive,
produclive mil inn.
Hut NO!
The urge of WOHI.I1 EM1TKE
was in his veins- the SELFISH
ambition to MAKE OF HIM
SELF the ruler of the earth.
So he led the people of France
down inlo the valley of the
shadow of ilealh.
! has always been that way.
Until the common, ordinary,
peace loving, industrious people
of the earth become WISE
ENOUGH to recognize these em
pciors and khans and kaisers
mid duces and fuehrers for what
they are and kill them as they
would kill a poisonous snake
WHILE THEY AUK STILL
WEAK ENOUGH In lie killed,
the world will always he that
way.

UIE hear a great many comments from the man on the street I
" concerning waste of money in the war effort. Speeches by
congressmen and other leading figures, reports of investigating
committees and news items, such as the one from Vincennes,
Ind., regarding the dumping of 37 carloads of potatoes onto
the refuse pile, do much to disturb the public mind,
"Why should we put money into war bonds only to have it
tossed on the city dump?" one Roseburg resident asked.
The answer is obvious. We must not relax our war effort!
regardless of waste. As Colliers Weekly so aptly states: "When
your house is on fire, you can't keep a minute-by-minute record
of loss and damage as they occur. The first job is to get the
fire under control."
The reason we waste money in fighting a war is because we
are not a military nation. Following the first World war we
returned to the ways of peace and our regular army was almost
disbanded. In 1925 our standing army numbered only I 31,624
men. In 1 940, with the war in Europe already several months
old, we had only 264,035 men regularly under arms.
To expand a force of a quarter million into ten million within
a space of a few months cannot be accomplished without waste,
when trained personnel is lacking. You cannot take a boy from
a service station, equip him with the insignia of a commissioned
officer and expect him to exhibit the combined qualities of an
experienced banker, business executive, organizational expert
and personnel director. He may in time develop the ability to
combine all of those necessary functions into his leadership, but,
lacking adequate training, he must gain his experience by the
trial and error method.
You doubtless know personally an army officer that you arc
convinced in your own mind is a misfit. You would never em
ploy that man to handle your personal business affairs, but yet
he is in a position of authority where he has control over the ex
penditure of public funds.
There are many men in positions of command in the military
services today who are not fit to be officers. There are many
people who cannot stand authority. In the rapid expansion of
our armed forces there has not been an opportunity to weed out
the misfits, the authority-conscious, the wasteful and the ex
travagant. ,
1 hen, too, there are times when waste must be incurred o
gain speed. We do not know the cost of the Alaskan highway,
but we imagine the expense was far greater than would have
resulted had the road been built under peacetime conditions.
Nor can we expect economy from an army representing a
federal government which has as its only solution to any prob
lem the spending of more money.
The wasteful practices on the home front certainly do not
lend encouragement to the military services to practice rigid
economy.
The situation may be distasteful. But just as we must fre
qucntly take a nasty-tasting remedy to cure a bodily ill, we must
accept waste and extravagance until the world's distress is eased.
There is rio reason why we should stop squawking. There is
no reason why we should not try to correct extravagances
wherever they are found. But we should not relax in our finan
cial support of the war effort because these conditions exist.
We must fight the fire until it is extinguished, regardless of the
cost.

W E'VE SOLVED TWO unusual coffee problems, caused
by the government's severe restrictions on the use of glass
for coffee packaging, and the lifting of coffee rationing.
First: w hat to use for a package! This is answered by the
glassinc-lincd bag. Second: how to insure freshness and
flavor! Speedy delivery to your grocer, in small quantities,
is now a part of our service, for our roasting plant is
located in this area.
Here's how you can help patriotically "Let every
