this BEHIND the fcrtomy's lines.
They've pulled Something ficw
on the Japs, who when they were
leapfrogging Irresistibly down the
Malay peninsula toward Singn
pore two years atfo, had all the
Wew stuff on their side.
' ' Now 'that th'e 'taWe's have boWl
turned on 'them, they 'can think
of nothing better than to charge
Into our mines and booby traps,
Into the mouths of our rifles und
machine guns, piling no their
Vfoa'd In Useless neaps.
TrtliS may be too optimistic 'It,
pfctur'e. But at least ft Is sug
gested strongly by the dispatches
from India, jf It Is true that we
have OUT-THOUGHT the 'Japs,
'and bcalen them at 'their own
jvmglc-Ilght'ln'g game, Ve nave
yhskdd k landmark Vn the 'Pa
cific WAV. ft is nearly always 'true
'in warfare that the BfeST MAN
.Wins.
THE hews from Hol'lnndlii con
tinues good. The tAll 'of the
airports there appears Imminent.
When taken, these airports vi11
be a new stepping sfon'e fi'6m
which we can hit the Jap In new
pla'ces.
FAR Mhh In 'China, along Yfte
l'vllow rWer, the Japs are in
the outskirts of Chcnghslcn and
seem ab6ut to take the tflwn, If
they haven't already.
' What lies back of tills fight-
This writer doesn't know, and
.'the Japs aren't 'telling, but hero's
a guess: From Chcnghslcn south
for 150 miles, the Chinese have
held for years a section of tlio
north-and south railroad that runs
.from Pelplng clear down to Can-
. ton, Where It connects With the
railroad system that runs through
"French tndo-Chlna and Thailand
clear on into Burma apd up t'u
. the fighting lines on the India
front.
The Japs pre losing nWe ships
than they can afford, and 1t
scchis likely they Will GO ON
losing them. It's at least possible
to guess that they Won't iNl.AND
lines of communication and sup
ply that can't be reached by our
Indcfut igable submarines.
rJ Europe, our sustained air of.
fensive, directed at German atr
powrV, is in Its 12th day as this
Is Written. It has loosed on Ger
many 50,000 tons of explosive
and hundreds of thousands of In
: cendlary bombs.
According to the best figures
available, It has destroyed 700
German planes at a 'cost of "prob
ably more titan" 38!) of our planes
nnd 2300 of our fliers. (This is
rxeluslv'e of whatever German
jilaiies may have Wen destroyed
the Hussians.)
W
f
rHERE'S a new and IMMEN
SELY interesting note on the
wires.
The Germans and the Ro
manians say the . Russians have
'opened up a fresh offensive on
a BROAD front, running fi'oiri
the Carpathians to the Black Sea,
and apparently directed at the
Calati gap between the Oaiiuhe
SOLClEkS 'totiay guard 'the Chicago headquarters of the
Moh'tg'oniery NiVa't'd tlbmlpaViy, ia'ftfer having forcibly 'eject
ed fi'om his teffie'e th'e chairman of that 'cdri'cerh wh'en itfe
resisted s'eifcure 6f th'e property tinder his control by th'e
federal government. President Roosevelt has nerso'nallv
intervened to enforce an order of an executive airencv. He
acted without judicial order,, although advised by the attor
ney general that he was within his rights in so doing. Thus
the case becomes purely a test of the powers of the chief
executive. If his exercise of arbitrary power is iiph'eid,
it sets precedent for an entirely new economy, based on the
format of dictatorship.
It is probable that the president Would h'6t taKe such
drastic action without being sui'e of his ground. But if the
emergency powers which have been 'extended td him are to
be interpreted to mean he can seize private property at will
to extend sp'e'cial privilege, then 'there is little hope for free
business enterprise until the p'eopie see fit, either by a
change in iadmihis'tration, or through congressional :action to
strip the executive of the authority to Set up and maintain
an American gestapo.
The Montgomery Ward 'company is in rebellion against
an agency of the federal government.
The company was forced to sigh, under duress, a con
tract with a labor organization in December, 1942. This
contract expired December S, 14.1 Vlieh renegotiation'
of the contract Was started in froVe'riiber, i'943, the labor;
union was directed by the cbmpany 'to sh6V that it reprei
serfted k majority of the employees In tb'e mail 'order house
and retail store. The 'cbinpahy 'claimed less than 20 per cent
of employees 'in two 'of the labdr units Were Wing union
dues checked, 'oil from wages. The labor union itself has
claimed only ft,K00 tot" th'e 'dOCO 'employees, as its members.
Under law, 'a coWipa'ny Ss ro'rbidde'n 'to bargain with a
union Which dd'es Yiot V'epi'es'ent majority, and without
proof '6t ' m'eibeVsbipth'e'c'bmyany refused to negotiate.
The WV mWie Board oi-der'ed the 'company t'O extend the
expired contract Without requiring the union to prove its
membership majority. WaWs brought suit in court to have j
the 'order Set aside, claiming Illegality. .' The union 'called a
strike to force acceptance of the WLB directive. The presi-i
dent's action in seizing, the plant is based upon the claimed
fact that the labor dispute is interfering with efficient dis-:
tribution of essential goods (a charge denied by the cohi-:l
pany) 'and is thus injurious tb the wir effort. ii
insolar as the tlispute between organized labor and Wards '
is concerned We woiild hot attempt to judge. Left to their i
own devices, the unions and the company undoubtedly
would eventually get together.
But if facts are as represented, and W' hnvo Wn A a.

court for k decision on th -lAViHiMrm vii iruni,,

KEEP 0. S. SENATOR
GUY CORDON ON THE JOE!
CORbbfl was selected by Gov. Snell as the man
best qualified to take the late Senator
McNary's place.
CORDON has successfully represented Oregon's
', land grant counties in Washington, D. C,
since 1 926.
CORDON is an authority oh tax matters and Ore
gon resources. He has caused the Fed
eral government to return $15,000,060.00
to the State of Oregon.
CORDON is practical, down-tO-ear'th, a self-educated
man; a 'successful attorney. He is
a strong believer in state's rights and
I i : r. free enterprise. ,T-,
CORDON believes the Federal Government snbuld
reimburse local taxing agencies for lands
removed from the tax rolls, to a Void
throwing additional taxe's on property
owners.
CORDON helped Write the original Oregon Coopera
tive Old Age Assistance law.
CORDON is a Veteran of World War j, a former
state commander American Legion; his
only son is now With the U. S. Air forces
in Italy.

THE OLD JUDGE SAYS...
"We can't arjtne 'with the Judge on that
point, can fre Mabel? It's not fair lo penalize
the many for the actions ol the few."
"That, folks, is exactly what wc Would be
doing in this country i( we ever voted for
prohibition again. Authorities who have
made a careful study of the problem, report
that only about 5 of those who drink
abuse the privilege occasionally... 95 drink
sensibly. Probably dtx'sn't compare with
the number of folks who oveicat and do
other things to c.xccis. Prohibition certainly
isn't the answer. It's not that simple. We
had nearly 14 years proof of that, didn't we?
"The real answer is education and better
control. In fact, the responsible members of
the distilling industry arc working con
stantly toward that end. They don't want
anybody to abuse the use of their product
any more than the three of us do."
"If everybody would take that sensible
altitude. Judge, and coocratc as more and
more are now doing, we'd be a lot better
off a lot quicker."
