retreat in the cast.'
UP to the Moscow conference,
the Russians persistently pooh
poohed our war In the air and
loudly demanded a land Iront in
the west. Whatever the agree
ments reached at Moscow and
Teheran may have called for in
the way of performance fromus,
Ihey seem to have satisfied Sta
lin. Allll (office of war informa
Will tion) undertakes to scare
us out of what It regards as dan
gerous optimism regarding the
progress of the war.
In a statement issued in Wash
ington, It tells us that Germany
and Japan can take a lot of
heavy punishment before collaps
ing; that Germany has vast mass
es of slavo lahor, plenty of steel,
more than enough coal and
enough oil for her needs; that
Japan has enough war supplies
stockpiled to last her three years.
Winning the war, Its statement
concludes ominously, will be no
cinch.
ON the other side of the story,
Dr. T. F. Tsiang, director of
political affairs in the , Chinese
cabinet, says in Portland that Ja
pan will not fight to the bitter
end, adding that her strength is
"brittle," and she will seek peace
after her first great defeat. ' . ,
He predicts: -"The American
and British fleets will smash the
Japanese fleet, the Burma road
will be opened, Japanese shipping
and cities will be Attacked and
the Japanese blockade (of China)
will be broken. Then the end will
come quickly."
THIS writer's advice (as Usual)
Is to BELIEVE NOBODY'S
predictions us to when the war
will end, put two and two togeth
er, draw your own conclusions
and above all else hope,for
best and PREPARE FOR THE
WORST. ,,
BY way of Interesting non-fighting
war news, we learn from
the dispatches that (he American
air transport line from India is
now freighting as much war ma
terial to China as passed over the
Burma road at its peak.
That refers to VOLUME. Cost
Is another matter.
Preston G rover. Associated
Press corresnondent who sends
the story, says that each gallon
of gasoline delivered by air costs
at least TWENTY DOLLARS.
THREE plane loads of fuel, he
says, must be carried over the
hump to put one heavy bomber
In the air in China for one mis
sion against the Japa, For every
gallon of gasoline delivered, the
transmrt plane carrying it uses
MORE than a gallon.
That's transport under Im
mense difficulties, but we've GET
TING AWAY WI TH IT.
YAGt'E rumors of trouble in
Bulgaria seep tlmmgh the cen

THE FOURTH
.EDITORIAL.
By Charles V. Stanton
pttEPARATIONS are being made to open the Fourth War
" Loan campaign. The drive will start in Douglas county
January 12. War bonds now being purchased, however,
will be credited in the quota assigned to the county.
It is going to take a great deal of -work to reach the goal,
particularly in view of a $28,000 boost in the amount of
bonds to be purchased by individuals. Individuals in Doug
las county are asked to buy $549,100 worth of E bonds. That
is only $9,000 more than we bought during the Third War
Loan campaign, so tne goal is
will take cooperation on the part of every resident,
A strong central committee has been formed, but the work
cannot be left to these few men and women: If we are to
meet our goal, every resident must put forth a special effort.
If every available dollar is channeled into the-Fourth War
Loan drive, we will have little difficulty in hitting the target.
There is good reason to insist that every idle dollar be
invested in financing the war.

European continent. The loss of life doubtless will be severe.

of dollars per minute. We
fighting men are paying with
asked only to invest our dollars.
Our enemies fear our Fourth
ing propaganda intended to discourage investors. They are
telling that the cost of selling
facts are that the out-of-pocket
only one-thirty-third of one per cent. This unusually low
cost of selling bonds is in contrast with two per cent in the
sale of similar war bonds by allied nations.
Our enemies also are circulating rumors that war bonds
are being cashed in at a very great pace. . '
The truth is, however, that the bonds being turned 'in are
less than had bcefi 'anticipated.
' Out of every 100 bonds, Series E, F and G, sold since war
bonds were first introduced,' 94 are still in the hands of the!
original purchasers. ', Even the most liquid issue, Series E,
has a record of 91.5 per cent still owned by original buyers. !
From total sales of, more than $27 billion, redemptions
amount to 6.4 per cent, a figure which would indicate that
the bonds are being cashed only for' legitimate, emergency
purposes. t f
The Fourth War Loan affords us the opportunity to short
en the war by showing our enemies that despite our petty
quarrels at home we are still solidly determined that crush
ing defeat shnll be the punishment meted out to the oppon
ents of freedom. '
Every war bond is a bullet striking enemy morale. They i
realize their cause is hopeless. They see certain defeat star- j
ing them in the face.' They are striving frantically to dis
unite the United Nations, to stir up distrust, to create fric
tion, with the faint hope that they may thus be able to
negotiate a peace and escape with some fraction of their ill
gfiUen gains. -
An oversubscription of the Four War Lolui will prove very
discouraging to the axis powers and will speed the day of
their eventual surrender. Every day the war is shortened
means the saving of American lives. Our dollars invested in
war bonds can serve to bring back many of our boys who
might otherwise be lost.

Governor Earl Snell :
there exists, as the result of wartime

acute shortage of waste paper, threatening the pro
duction of new paper products for military and ele

IHljCrcaS at least an additional two million tons
of waste paper are needed to keep mills at peak pro
duction, and more can be absorbed to build up
reserve inventories; and
IBijrrraa the normal sources of waste paper are
not adequate to meet the wartime requirements for
this essential raw material; and
ItlljCrraa the War Production Board has re
queued the newspapers of the United States to under
take the U. S. Victory Waste Paper Campaign to
generate a flow of waste paper from homes, business
establishments and institutions to the paper manufacturers:
Nmit, aCljen? tott , 31 UA .Wit, Governor of
Oregon, do hereby call upon the people of this Slate
to cooperate with the agencies in their communities
