Cronin says' that' at' the present- moment they are antl Jap and pro-ally especially pro American. To themselves they re pent hopefully, almost prayer ruliy: "Wait till the Amerienns get herd." They AREN'T co-operating ivitli' their Jhp cbriq dehors- not voluntarily, tliat' is1. They aren't deceived' by the moutH-fllllng tianle of Greater East Asia Co Prosperity Sphere. Cronin- has' an Idea the Japs rren't pulling any wool over the iyes or ADULT populations of Ihe lands they have' conquered: MARK his use' of lite" word "adult.". He says the Japs are concen trating their empire-building technique oil (he CHILDREN- df today thlit' will make up the armies of 20 years hence. What will these children be thinking two decades from now? MAYBE they'll still be hating the" Japs. But It is- at least significant that In' the centuries of which we have a Hlsllirical retold the peopVS of Asia haven't seemed to pass down bitter and undying hatred of a conqueror, fi-om fath er to son; making of this' heredi tary transmission almost a sacred rite, as have the peoples of cen tral and eastern Europe. Anyway, he' says, thill's what the Japs art! looking forward to and planning for. His judgment Islhat'ir we dort't stop them now we'll have a much harder time stopping them later. flE news from the South Pa cific, as carried in- the dis patches from day to day, Is encouraging- almost monotonous ly eneoui'aglng. We constantly make progress against the Jap. He never makes progress against us. The stories are made vivid by PUNCH-WORDS such as "smash!" "bash!" "shatter!" etc. These are' Headline wonts that sell papers. liut Cronin (with his prelVarl llafbbr background of observa tion -and his recent 21-monlhs-Jong background of 'experience In a Jap- prison camp) points out drily that the Jal ESTABLISH ED 'the present battle lilies In the Pacific mere than iwd years ago and With n few minor dents here and there is HOLDING THEM YET.

REALISM IN ' By Charles THE American' public hua-at Japanese mistreatment of Philippines. The fact's, belatedly released, are removed, by the time element,- from the considered under the heading of propaganda. It is clear from the official report that the information has long been in the hands of the Office Bureau' of Censorship; There is no satisfactory explanation of why these atrocities could not have been reported to the American' public: months ago. Thus- it becomes -apparent' we are being told' only what the brass hats in the plush-lined chairs in Washington want us to hear. But there' is evidence of increasing opposition to the con trol of news for propaganda purposes. Palmer Hoyt, editor of The Orcgonian, who recently resigned from' the OWI, has beeii a frank critic of the bureau's policies. Newspapers throughout' the' country have vigorously protested against foolish curtailments by the novice censors, demanding that the American public be given ALL the news. But as is the case with most of the Washington bureaus, "pnpft knows best" and the general public has been treated as children who must follow 1 parental orders with blind obedience, too immature to know the facts of life. Boys returning from the South Pacific are particularly bitter because the'people at home' have not been made aware of the" desperate' fighting which faces our troops in that theater1.' ' - Having adopted the policy that the war in' Europe must be follght first, while maintaining only holding action against the JapS, Washington' has been careful' to keep1 the South Pacific; actioli out of focus. We have had otily blurred, im perfect pictures of warfare against the Japs, seeing only the highlights with the details of shortages of men and equip ment and the desperate makeshifts, which have marked our almost miraculous progress, carefully blotted out. The "grapevine" carries rumors that the army and navy are becoming fed up with' the propagandic policies of the censorship agencies and' are demanding more realism in tHfe daily news. Protests from military services, it1 is ru mored, were responsible for publication of pictures of Ameri can dead antl wounded soldiers; The current predictions of heavy casualties to be expected in forthcoming invasion efforts-are said to be sponsored by the army and riaVy in an effort to whip up public spirit and eliminate complacency, occasioned by the success propaganda so long prevalent. It was military pressure, it is said, which stopped halt of talk of an early end to the European phase of the war and brought about the statement from a "high-ranking," but still unidimtified, source that strikes art' impeding' the war effort. The story of Jap atrocities, jtist now being released to dbtibtedly another result of hervices tliat the people of this1 in the horrors of the-war instead of being carefully shielded by a paternal censorship from Ktrugglo in which their sons MEWS OF OCR IX UNIFORM snwMwmn-rinn Staff Sergeant Verdun Boucock has been transferred from Brig ham City, Utah, where he has been hospitalized, to Kt.

UIMIMIE R "IB T fe'BIF LETTERS to the Editor CRltiClfcES LACK' OF URGENTLY NEEDED' LIGHT AT ROSEBURG AIRPORT Jan; 28; 1944 Editor News-Review: I have just returned tonight' from the Roseburg airport where 17 cars were spontaneously gath ered to try and illuminate the; landing strip enough by car headlights so that a plane, evi dently in distress-, might land. ! The plane, however, had to turn I back due to lack of light on the; field. I was shocked, as were most all out at the' field tonight, that there are no lights marking the field, and no lights in the I hangar. It is highly expensive ! for those' oneerned about our; aviators to go' racing out to the i airport to ofrer a little poor arid ! dangerous light so that a plane ' might land-here when in distress, j As a home owner, taxpayer and a person in business in Rose burg, I am quite concerned about the lack of activity at our air-1 port. Why has it been deserted? I Was it due to lack of city coop-1 eratlon that' it was not finished? In- any event there can be no excuse for lack of emergency landing lights here.' The property owners and busi nesses of this community pay taxes to pay expenses of commu nity organization, and communal services. Roseburg is a city, not' a village. Some of our civic lead ers seem inclined to spend for the upkeep of a village not for the maintenance and improve ment of a rapidly growing city. At a time when there is an ex cess of money over and above the amount or goods, we in Roseburg pay the lowest taxes to our city and county in years. vVhy? Why are we not paying taxes now for improved airport taciiiiies, just to mention one needed item? After all why should our federal government pay for the alrport improvements for Roseburg? Actually they should not. Wo, the restdents and businesses of this community, are the ones to benefit by having an active airport or to suffer for the lack of one. There is business today that is vital that is having an airport that our army can use when need ed. Wo certainly will need a modern airport after the war. I believe the people of Roseburg J want an active airKrt now while our boys may need it. Are we going to wait until a $300,000 or, one million dollar plane crashes and some mother's' son is killed before ive spend a few hun dred or few thousand dollars to at least provide landing lights which is actually all that would have to be done for the present?
