the Burma road.
You see we're beginning to

HIMITZ announces 'that in last
Friday's carrier-plane raid oh
Manila bay we sank a Jap heavy
cruiser, two luggers,, a destroyer
and 14 other ships, and1 knocked
out 72 Jap planes.
Our pilots have been reporting
that Manila bay, the Philippines'
one BIG harbor, is rapidly" be
coming a graveyard of Jap ship
ping. (Remember what happened to
Ilnbaul.)
JAP resistance on Leyto Is re
ported to be steadily decreas
ing. Our planes there go on sinking
craft bearing Jap reinforcements.
So far the little yellow men have
sacrificed five convoys of 33 ships
and an estimated 17,000 soldiers
in their efforts to reinforce Leyte.
OVER-ALL news from the Pa
cific is so good that we arc
constantly tempted to Jump to
too-rosy conclusions. The news
irom China, uniformly bad, pro
vides an offset that may be
psychologically Useful.
We learn that Nannlng, our
lust far-forward alrbase In south
eastern China, has fallen to the
Japs. The Japs take Ilochih, only
120 miles southeast of the upper
reaches of the Burma road.
The bad news from China is
fed out to us in little scraps. Re
cent dispatches say It "seems
possible the Chinese are handing
out the bad news in small bits In
order to AVERT A PANIC" (In
China).
THE reason the B-29 news is so
Important Is that it indicates
the beginning of a sustained at
tack on Japan's productive pow
er similar to that which we
launched against Germany a year
and a half ago.
THE fighting between Aachen
and Cologne continues on a
scale that IS hard for us home
Irontcrs to imagine. The Roer
river, last nutural obstacle be
fore Cologne and the Rhino, is
the present center of it. Beyond
the Roer the country opens up
into gently rolling plain.
The fighting is In rain, snow,
mud and hall about as miserable
as It could be.
UIE'RE literally INCHING for
if ward. More than a week ago
e were reported 26 miles from
Cologne. We're 244 miles away
ns this is written.
THE brutal fact Is that from
Aachen to Cologne we're
KILLING GERMANS. When we
Kct ENOUGH Germans killed,
the war in Europe will be over.
Jl is becoming reasonably appar
ent that the amount of territory
gained isn't as important an the
number of Germans killed. -

PRESSURE BY
By Charles
UIE huve before us as we write a 28-page booklet, Yi by
" 11-inch size, beautifully
heavy white paper binding,
entitled "Nisei In Uniform.'!
.War Relocation Authority of the Department of the In
terior. It has, on the inside cover page, a foreword by
Franklin D. Roosevelt,
In the introductory article
statement probably expresses the theme as clearly as it
could be defined: ,.. .
It has been a common oomment of Nisei In the Army
that they are fighting two battles; one to tfmash the Axis
dlotators; the other to prove that Japanese-Americans are
basically no different (n attitude or loyalty from the
majority of our citizens whose forebears came from other
lands.
We, of course, have no information regarding the cost of
this booklet, which was printed in the U. S. government
printing office and, therefore, at the. cost of the nation's
taxpayers. We have no information regarding how many
of these booklets were distributed. Obviously, being litera
ture from a federal agency, they were postage free and,
therefore, the distribution expense must be paid by the tax
payers. Perhaps we're just plain dumb we have upon occasion
been so informed by persons upon whose toes we inadvert
ently tramped or it may be we have warped perspective,
but we fail to understand why it is necessary to utilize a
large amount of paper, during a period of acute shortage,
and" put burdened taxpayers to additional expense to extol
the virtues of Japanese-Americans who, one would gather!
from reading WRA propaganda, are winning the war in!
Europe singlehanded.
We have seen no similar document to tell us what won-!
derf ul people are the native born Americans who are fight- i
ing their hearts out around the
ing of the kind extolling the
of the American Indian, nor
men and women of Gormnn, Swedish, Polish, Jewish or other
racial extraction, who are
American army.
In addition to the booklet,
ganda releases, there was enclosed a four-page, single-spac
ed, mimeographed article dealing with the part taken by
Japanese-American soldiers in
ter of operation. , Press releases from the WRA invariably
devoted to telling what wonderful people the Japanese
Americans are are contained in editorial mail at very fre
quent intervals.
We would not detract one
American soldiers. They are deserving of the utmost praise,
but to no greater extent than other racial groups fighting
in American unilorm.
The purpose of this propaganda barrage, we believe, is
plain to see.
The War Relocation Authority, acting upon demands from
military services, moved all Japanese from the Pacific coast.
The WRA plans to move them back. But Grange masters in
five western states have advocated exclusion of Japanese
Americans, ev.en if a constitutional amendment is required.
Many residents of Pacific coast and far western states have
long resented the presence of a race of people who cannot
be assimilated and who must
and who have shown ability to
production made possible through low standards of liv
ing in virtually all of the coast states.
So the WRA is launched upon a gigantic sympathy build
ing propaganda campaign' at the expense of the American
taxpayer, planning to force the Japanese back upon the Pa
cific coast states whether or not thoy are wanted.

an 18-month supply or cured to
bacco is backed up hy a record
UM4 crop.
The house agriculture commit
tee listened as witness after wit
ness presented evidence that this
country now Is producing more
clgaret tobacco than ever before
and that the civilian supplv is
nearly SO per cent greater than
before tlie war.
Several witnesses said tobacco
growers are satisfied with the
AAA production program and ar
gued against any attempt to re
move controls from the crop.
Rep. Chapman D.. Ky.) told
the committee, "1 don t know
what has caused the shortage of
cigarets but I do know the to
bacco growers are not guilty."
While both house and senate
committees were making In
quiries Into the smokes shortage,
War Food Admlnsitration offi
cials let It be known that In
their view It cannot be blamed on
allotment of a fourth of this
year's cigaret type tobacco crop
for export.
The number of cigarets to be
released by manufacturers this
year Is expected by WFA officials
to reach a recoi-d of about 330,
000,000.000 or about 21',000,000,
000 more than last year.
With the overseas military sup

Washington News From an Inside View
Argument, Sentiment, Comment
By HARRIS ELLSWORTH
Congressman, Fourth Oregon District
WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 25.
Back In session again, the con
gress is proceeding with its work
just as if nothing had happened.
But quite definitely, considerable
huppened on the seventh. It is no
secret that republican members
felt rather confident that the
majority of the house next term
would be republican. At election
time the score stood 214 demo
crats to 212 republicans. The
clerk of the house says that, as
of this morning (Saturday), the
score for the new congress
stands: Democrats 242, republi
cans 190, progressive 1, American-Labor
1, and one still in
doubt. I doubt that the score is
high enough on the new deali
Bide to warrant calling the new
congress a rubber-stamp con
gress, but there is not the slight
est doubt that the administration
will have majority enough in the
house and senate to carry most
controversial legislation.
It Is too soon to get any accu
rate idea as to the course of legis
lation for the coming two-year
term- My guess is, however, that
there will be no serious contro
versy on legislation involving
major foreign policy matters. The
battles in the new congress will
occur mostly over proposals that
would tend to take us toward a
centralized socialistic type of gov
ernment. If I may make a personal com
ment at this point, I wish to ex
press my thanks to the voters of
the district for the fine majority
given me in the election. I hope
that the service rendered during
these next two years will Justify
lite faith placed in me. These are
serious times in the history of our
republic, pnd I am well aware of
the responsibilities borne by ev
ery member of the congress.
Karly this week the crop Insur
ance hill passed the house hy an
overwhelming majority (only 16
negative votes). Last spring the
house rejected a crop insurance
hill. There were several valid
objections to the previous propo-
?' , A11 of '!""" "Tr xmS
! llm nniir Kill Fii ill tt -i 1 rtlffi-
in the new bill. Principal diffi
culty with the former proposal
was that too much of the risk
was actualv borne by the gov
ernment to the extent that the
plan cost many millions of dollars
from the public treasury. The
bill recently passed limits the
government liability and practic
ally places the plan on a sound
Insurance basis. As I see It, this
plan does not put government in
the Insurance business nor does
it establish any precedent along
that line. It simply does a Job
for the protection of farm pro
duction that Is too big and pro
vides a type of insurance subject
to shocks that are too heavy to be
undertaken by privately owned
companies.
The senate now has the flood
control hill (H. R. 4483) under
consideration- The senate com
merce committee, before it re
ported the bill to the senate floor,
Inserted an amendment (known
as the Bailey amendment) which
would restrict the authority of
the secretary of the interior to
build transmission lines for the
sale of power from flood control
dams. The committee amendment
would have compelled the sale of
power at the dams unless 90 per
cent of the available power re
mained unsold within three years
after the completion of the dams.
Then, and only then, said the
amendment, could transmission
lines be built bv the government.
The senate defeated the amend
ment by a vote of 42 to 27.
Hut the senate approved an
amendment authorizing the sec
retary of Hie interior to con
sume! and acquire only such
transmission lines and tflated
facilities as might be necessary to
make publicly-developed power

The house is still debating the
postwar highway bill. Many
members are dissatisfied with the,
large sums allocated to cities, but
it is probably necessary to keep
this part of the bill in order to
get tne remainder ot it approved.
