R. Winiam By Charles V. StantoE Editorials on New (0 thiusd fxea tf L) with our (large) plane produc tion." . THE Japs have obviously been SAVING UP their fleet lor some great emergency purpose. Time and again they have de clined battle. THIS may be the emergency they have been saving up for. Wlth'iis firmly planted lh the Marianas, grim , possibilities, stare them In tho face. WE have great naval strength In the Puclfle. In addition, , Admiral King .(top navy com mander) speaks In Washington of arrangements wllli the British for naval co-operation lh tho Jup war. : The British are known to have considerable naval strength In tho Asiatic theatre. OUR commanders are confident. Nimitz says our fleet "packs sufficient power to he favorable to us In a decisive engagement." King expresses appreciation for 'the long-expected cooperation of the Japanese navy in apparently moving Into battle position." We have land-based planes (to supplement our carrier planes) within reach of almost the entire prospective battle area ; Mac Arthur's bombers in New Guinea and other planes that have prob ably been landed already on the field wc have taken at Saipun. ' On the other hand, the Japs have the advantage of being close to their bases, whereas we are more than 1,000 miles from our -nearest base In tho Marshalls. A GOOD newspaper is in much the same position as an im- partial umpire attempting to officiate at a crucial game attended by intensely partisan fans. Regardless of what the decision may be, one side or the other is certain to sound off with bronx cheers and start heaving pop bottles. A good illustration of this fact is an act which oc curred at Eugene last Sunday when newspaper reporters were banished from a session of the state convention of a labor union because some delegates disapproved of the manner, in which the scribes reported a heated argument over unseating certain delegates. The union members were not unanimous in kicking the reporters out of the conven tion hall, but there were enough demanding an "executive session" to close the .doors to the press, although the chair man of the meeting was quoted as stating that the published account was true and that he could find no objection to it. The action of the convention is indicative of what many individuals and organizations expect of the press. They demand only the most favorable mention. Many people do not realize that a reliable newspaper, and the press as a whole, is a mirror which reflects the good and the bad alike. . We will admit that there are mirrors and mirrors. You have all seen those mirrors in amuse ment parks which reflect back your distorted image. Some mako you appear a roly-poly, humorous character with a fat tummy and stubby legs. Others reflect back an elon gated, sinister figure of frightening proportions. Many people would have a newspaper render only a pleas ing likeness, just as they expect a photographer to retouch a negative to hide the blemishes. The true image is not what they want. But the press, to be true to its responsi bility to those it serves, must be a mirror as free from fault and distortion as is humanly possible. A good reporter must be as impersonal as the typewriter upon which his story is prepared. He should tell only the facts and conditions as he sees them, endeavoring to eliminate any semblance of; personal opinion. Knowing the integrity of the Eugene newspaper and its editor, we believe the action taken against the Eugene re-i porters was entirely unjustified. ! Organized labor seems to be suspicious of the press. Rabidly partisan, as it must be, it is ever ready with its cry of "kill the umpire!" But, insofar as our experience is con-i cerned, few labor leaders attempt to make friends with the press or to utilize newspaper faciiilies to promote good pub-1 lie relations. I One of the first acts of a business man moving into a1 community is to got acquainted with the editor of the newspapor and try to make a good impression. Big busi-j riess spends millions of dollars annually on public relations. ! Expert press agents are employed to strengthen the posi tion of manufacturing and business firms with the press.' But about the only time we see or hear from a labor leader, either local, district, or national, is when there is some cuiiipmiiii io rugisier or some service desired. Newspapers, endeavoring to give their readers all of tho news, are as open to news items concerning labor's activities as to any othor news material. (We are not referring to propa ganda.) But few of the unions, particularly in the sunnier communities, are endeavoring to use this means of educat ing tho public to their cause. Neither labor unions, nor any other organizations, can create public confidence when they hide their activities from public gaze. Such action as that taken in Eugene in banishing reporters from a convention hall does not add to tho stature of the labor cause. under way in Finland to form a NEW cabinet that can make peace (on some kind of terms) with Russia. THE news of the next few days (jierhaps even hours) will be watched with acute and anxious Interest by all of us. IF the Japs risk their entile fleet in one mighty battle and IF they lose disastrously the end of the Jap war will be far nearer than any of us have dared to imagine. That is almost too much to hope for, but we can't help hop ing. IN Cherbourg as this is written, our men are fighting from house to house toward the docks that are our goal. The Germans are fighting back with fanatical fury, but arc blowing up dock Installations at the same time. Tanks arc being used on both aides. An American staff officer says we have "stacks" of them. We've already knocked out 80 German tanks In the Cherbourg lighting. THE weather grows viler and viler still apparently in league with the Germans. A gale is still blowing In the channel, piling up six-foot waves on tho benches and putting a stop to all landings. We NEED the ort of Cher bourg. The Germans know we need it. They're determined to hold iu back from it to the last possible hour. Hence their fanati cal fighting. DIALlpLOG VHPURI Is In the hands of the Russians, and the Finns are evacuating Helsinki. Report!

"Merciful God. watch over tnese men. They march In a cru sade for humanity and freedom. These are not men of war. These arc not men of iiate or von gi anen. These are humble inon. Men whose hearts will never for get pity and mercy. They light to give all the children of men peace on earth. They tight to banish tyranny and fear. Merci ful God, our homes are empty our hearts arc torn with this des perate vigil. "Into your care we give our prayers our llves-our sons -all that we are and can ever hope to tie on this earth. Send these men hack to us home to us for thev hiv part of man's spirit of man's dream of a world which Is free ami where kindness lives; watch over these men we who aro meek and humble, we whose faith is strong ask this.
