REALISTIC THINKING NEEDED
In the Day's Hews
(Continued from page 1;
The Germans are said to be pre
paring to defend the city from
house to house, as they . did
Aachen.
East of the city's fortress ring,
his tanks and infantry move for
ward on a 1,5-mjle -front and Jib?
advance -'mccliantjsdj patrols , arc
reported to have crossed the Ger
man border. . , .
FAR to the south, up agajnst the
Swiss mountain border, the
French are only five miles from
the fortress of Belfort, which
juards the Belfort gup between
he Vosges mountains and the
Jura Alps.
EVERY GERMAN GATE on
the west is under attack.
IN front line dispatches, we ge
growingly detailed reports of
Eisenhower's really VAST
strength..
It is disclosed, that he, has. a
FIGHTING force pf a million
and a quarter men, with an equal
number in reserve. The German
lines are believed ta be held by
. less than a half million, spread
over a 400-mile front.
(Before Jumping to the 'con
clusion that with such superiority
of numbers on our side It's us
good as In the hag, remember
that It takes more men to at
tack than to defend.)
IF you want to help, I'RAY FOR
GOOD WEATHER. With rea
sonably good weather, we MIGHT
be, able to smasli (he Germans
with this mighty blow.
THERE is still little news from
the east, but it looks like the
Russians are moving lo outflank
Budapest to Hie north. If they
succeed, Vienna will be I heir next
objective. THEN up the valley of
the Danube Into Germany (if
all goes well).
THERE is a possibly significant
little note in the news.
Allied "informants" say the
Germans are erecting "mysteri
ous structures" in the mountains
of central Norway, possibly as
bases for secret weapons. ,
That recalls to us the mysteri
ous platforms of heavy concrete
found by us when we took Cher
bourg. They were roughly a block
square and 30 to 10 feet in depth.
They contained, people who look
ed them over said, as much con
crete as Bonneville dam.
' Whatever they were Intended
for, the nazis must have set a lot
of store by them to put that much
effort and materials Into foun
dations. THESE wliat-ls-its in Cherbourg
were taken by us before they
could be used. Maybe they're lic
ing ivproduced in Norway.
OUR .thoughts recur Instantly
to the V-weapons (robots and
their successors). The robots are
persistently pooh-poohed In most
of the news reports, but we can't
laugh off the damage done to
Ixwdon by the buzzbombs.
It's quite' possible that the
robot menace is one of the rea
sons for our mighty thrust 'nt
Germany'- western Bales here nt
By Charles V, Stanton
SPECULATION is still rife concerning the withdrawal of
General Stillwell from China.. The fact that such strict
censorship has been thrown around the event obviously en
courages cogitation. Being pf a naturally suspicious na
ture, pur consideration leads us to the belief we have sold out
Nationalist China as the price for Russia's expected partici
pation in the war against Japan.
We base this opinion upon the about-face niade by our
propagandists. . . A few months ago we were portraying
Chiang Kai-Shek as the saviour pf China. We extolled his
able leadership and military genius. Now the American
public is being told the generalissimo has bungled military
strategy, is incapable of uniting his nation,' and has not
been cooperative with the allied powers.
China, it nmst be remembered, is divided jnto lvo camps
and has been waging civil war at the same time it resisted
Japanese occupation. Chiang is leader of the Nationalist
forces and has strongly resisted, 'communism. The North
Chjna army, a communist organization, has taken little part
in the war against Japan,
. Returning for the moment to the subject of propaganda,
we are reading of the strength of Russia's Siberian army,
the Red force which guards the Marichurian border. Re
leases from Russia tell of propaganda spread throughout
the Soviet, recalling the history of the Russo-Japanese war
and the capture of Port Arthur.
Speculating on these conditions, we are of the opinion that
the allied powers have reached, a bargain with Stalin where
by ground action in China is to be taken over by the Rus
sians cooperating with China's northern communistic army.
Chiang arid his nationalist forces will, if our guess is correct,
receive only token support from the allied powers, or, pos
sibly, may be ignored entirely if and when the Russians
once enter the war against the Japanese.
We have seen such a switch in support happen once be
fore. In the early part of the war, support from the United
States was given Mihailovich, anti-communist Yugoslavian
guerrilla leader, but Russia Insisted upon , recognition of
Tito's communist forces, against whom Mihailovich con
tend!, and the United States complied with Russian de
mands. Russia's entrance into the Japanese war. strikinir through
Manchuria and joining up with the Chinese northern army
to chase the Japs out of China, would be of the greatest
military aid to the allied powers fighting in the Pacific. The
Jap flank is dangerously exposed to the, Russians, while the
U. S. forces would find it extremely difficult to establish
and maintain operating bases pn the China coast. The bar
gain, upon which we are speculating would greatly speed
victory in the Pacific. To speed the day when the Japanese
will be completely crushed, the sacrifice of Chiang may be1
fully justified. ..'
v." We.. tee liot airing 6ur personal speculation for the pur
pose of creating a Red scare. But, omitting political im
plications, we are debating the postwar effect of the -suggested
alliance, which, if arranged, probably was worked
out at the Quebec conference and at the more recent meeting
between Churchill and Stalin.
England will emerge from this war stronger than ever
before. She will retain her great empire and will have domU
nation of trade, for her former competitors, Germany,
France, Italy, Czechoslovakia and others, have been so com
pletely weakened by war that it will take them many years
to get back into world trade in serious competition with the
British empire.
Russia will gain political strength. Greece, the Balkans,
probably Italy, France and Norway, will ally" themselves po
litically with Russia rather than England. Russia appar
ently plans to seize Poland and the Baltic states. If she also
takes over political control of China, Russia will dominate
Europe and Asia.
So far, about the only thing the United States stands to
gain out of the war is a huge national debt, an extravagant
lend-lease orgy, and hundreds of thousands of casualties. It
is time we were indulging in a little realistic thinking along
with our great idealism.

SUGGESTS RAILWAY CARS
FOR BLOOD DONORS' USE
Editor News-Review: . ,
As a former resident of Rose-burg-I
still look on the News-Review
as my home town paper, so
am writing to make a suggestion
of possible interest to your read
ers. I have noticed lately that the
call for blood donations has be
come more urgent and am won
dering If some kind of arrange
ment could be made to convert a
number of railroad sleeping cars
or .diners into travelling collec
tion units. With (he necessary re
frigeration installed to make stor
age possible and staffed by com
petent Red Cross workers, these
cars could be attached to any reg
ular train to be sidetracked on a
prearranged schedule at (ha nu
merous! small centers of popula
tion where collection has been
impossible previously.
Millions of pints of the .best
hlood could thus be made avail
able. I feel sure that the citizens
of smaller communities would be
proud to have the opportunity to
be ot service to our ngnung Doys.

Meanwhile Interesting hints
come from Washington. An of

that while our victory over the

Philippines may turn out to be
one ot the DECISIVE battles of
modern times, it DIDN'T break

MEANWHILE the Japs move
inward' into China, strength
ening the suspicion that complete
conquest of the Chinese before
wo can get there to help may be
their present major objective.
They're grandiose little devils,
and they may have It in mind to
set up a new empire on the
Asiatic continent in lieu of the
Island empire they are certain
to lose sooner or later.
THIS question Is an interesting
one:
How will realistic, all-for-Rus-sla

sound a promise that even while you sleep, the war trains are rolling. It's the confident
voice of an industry that's doing the biggest job in its history, and will be in there pitching
long after the war is over.
