Borneo oil fielcjs arc secured.
WE seem to have the bulk of the
remaining Okinawa Japs
cornered on a plateau at the is-
lund's southern end. We ottered
them a surrender ultimatum the
jjirst in the Pacific war but it
was Ignored and we're going In
to finish them off.
The struggle is fierce and
feloody as always in these finish
fights with the Japs.
ONE gathers from the dis
patches that the plateau where
the Japs are making their last
stand is similar to our southeast
ern Oregon "faults," ending in a
steep cliff. Imagine the Albert
rim pocketed with caves held by
fully armed Japs and then fancy
yourself climbing it to dig them
out. That will give you an idea of
wlint:iui-irfierf are facing.

THE southern Chinese, wio have
been doing well lately, have
suffered a setback. The Japs are
fighting stubbornly to hold the
Judo-China corridor open as the
Germans fought so often in sinil-lal-
circumstances. They're sally
ing put from Canton, Indicating
that they have a heavy garrison
there.
UR sustained air offensive
against the Jap mainland is
going Into Its sixth straight day.
We're gunning for the Jap air
force, and at the same time ore
. laying mines in the southern Jap
waterways. (Three -fourths of
Japan's traffic is waterbornc.)
GENERAL LEMAY announces
that so far we have devastated
102 square miles of the area of
six of Japan's largest cities. Half
of the damage is in Tokyo, where,
5G square miles have been laid
waste.
STRANGE tales persist of "re
luctance" of the Jap parlia
ment to hand over its powers to
Suzuki. It is said to have wrung
from him a concession requiring
the cabinet to consult a special
parliamentary committee before
issuing any edict.
( Remember that these tales
come from the ENEMY'S propa
ganda radio broadcasts, which fur
some reason seem to be trying to
keep alive the idea that the Jap
"parliament" has some power.
THE parliament's last official act
Is said to have been authoriza
tion of a "spear-wielding" civilian
home defense army.
That doesn't necessarily mean
lack of arms on the home front.
Spears often knives tied to the
end of long bamboo poles - have
been used more or less regularly
in Jap infiltration tactics In jun
gle warfare. Their wielders deep
up 1 1 the dark and use them to
stab our men in the loshoies.
1 n6te of international en-
f couragement comes from
Elsenhower, who is in London
to receive the plaudits of the
British.
He tells a press conference: "I
believe Russia, Britain and the
U. S. intend to make it impossible
for Germany to go to war again
The Russians are very
friendly; I'm convinced they
WANT PEACE and a chance to
DEVELOP the same as all the
jest of us Zhukov is a
jjrand soldier."
OK the Germans, Eisenhower
says: "Many Germans want to
be friendly. Our experience has
been that the German Is arrogant
in victory and VERY POLITE In

FLAG PAY -BUY A WAR BOND
By Charles V. Stanton
Today is Flag day. Cpremonies are being held through
out the tuition in observance of the occasion. We glory
today in the achievements' of our armed forces vho have
carried pur country's flag to glorious victory in many parts
of the world. l$g photograph of modern times has gained
so much popular approval and distribution as Joe Rosenthal's
historic picture of "Old Glory" being raised on Iwo Jima.
Yet Flag day should mean something more to us than
merely a display of our national colors and an opportunity
to express our appreciation, in words, for the accomplish
ments of our armed forces.
, The war still goes on, but while we voice our national
pride, we allow the Seventh War Loan to Jag far behind
the quotas established for us. Is pur expression of pride,
then, only from the lips? Are we erecting a veneer of
patriotism to hide an unpatriotic heart?
We do not believe that such is the case. We are inclined
to believe, rather, that our failure to express our pride
by investing our dollars in pur country'3 welfare and our
own, stems not from lack. of patriotism, but instead from a
condition of apathy. ;
Here in Douglas county, where in previous War Loan
campaigns we have ranked among the leaders, we are only
about half way to our goal. This is not because we lack
idle money, for there is more money in savings deposits
in Douglas county banks than ever before far more than
enough to meet our war bond obligation. The reason it
is not going into war bonds, we believe, is simply that there
hits been less stimulating activity and less personal, solicita
tion than in previous campaigns. Many people are waiting
for someone to spend time and energy in solicitation when
that time and energy could be saved by voluntary purchases.
General Joseph W. Stilwell was quoted in press dispatches
this week to the effect that the "war with Japan easily
could hist at least two years longer." Two years seems to
be the maximum General Stilwell places on continuation of
the war. Some military leaders, perhaps guided by policy,
speak of a longer period of time for concluding our affairs
with the Japanese, while others seem to think victory is not
lar in the future.
We should not relent in determination or enthusiasm until
the job is finished no matter how long it may take. We
should not permit domestic policies, with which we may not
be in accord, to cause us to swerve from our insistence upon
the earliest possible end to the struggle, in the Pacific;. Lives
of brave Americans are being lost every moment the war
continues. Our dollars, by hastening the end of the war,
can save lives. Should it be necessary, then, that we be
begged to- discommode ourselves by walking to the bank
to write out a check for war bonds, instead of waiting until
some one comes and seeks our purchase? ... x
"""Victory in' Europe apparently has brought about relaxa
tion on the home front. While such relaxation may be ex
plained, it cannot be condoned.
Only two war loan drives are planned for this year as
compared with three in previous war years. But the amount
to be raised is approximately the same, thus necessitating
higher quotas than heretofore.
l',y purchasing war bonds we not only aid in the war
effort but we aid ourselves. Money invested in war bonds
earns more than in a savings account or lying idle in a
checking fund. War bonds are the best investment obtain
able. We know of no better time to urge purchases of war bonds
than today, when, in celebration of our victories and in
paying tribute to the flag of our country, we have oppor
tunity to demonstrate our pride in an extremely practical
manner.

CANADA'S socialist CCK (Co
operative Commonwealth Fed
eration) didn't make much of a
showing in Monday's Canadian
election, winning only 26 of par
liament's 245 seats. Its strength
was almost entirely in the agri
cultural west. Only ONE seat was
won in the east.
Political observers (sometimes
smart and sometimes not) regard
the Canadian election as an Indi
cation that Churchill will win in
Britain.
PRIME MINISTER MACKEN
ZIE KING'S government,
which has held power In Canada
since 193r, wins by a fair margin.
As an odd quirk of the working
of the LSritlsh parliamentary sys
tem, King himself, who comes
from Saskatchewan, may lose out
in bis home district, but If he does
he will arrange a '"by-election" in
a "constituency" considered to be
a set up for him and so will be
able to get back to parliament.
It is as if the democratic leader
in our house of representatives,
should be defeated in his home
district and be then permitted to
call a special election in some
Other district where he couldn't
lose and run again.
There are sharp differences be
tween our system and the British
system.

Suzuki Expected
To Resign With
Loss of Okinawa
WASHINGTON, June 14--AP)
Tokyo's Suzuki government has
crabbed more power than any
other cabinet in Japanese history,
but Washington observers would
net be surprised to see it resign
when Okinawa falls.
That is the Japanese pattern.
Tojo quit when Saipan fell, and
Koiso stepped down after the loss
of Iwo Jima.
But officials here charged witn
watching Japanese developments
cautioned today that regardless
of whether the cabinet of Suzuki
rerigns to satisfy Japanese cus
tom or not, it now has unprece
dented power to rule by decree.
This power has been voted by
the Japanese parliament, or diet,
and the only string attached is
that the diet shall be kept inform
ed of cabinet actions under its
sweeping authority.
These officials, asking anonym
ity, threw down harder than ever
rumors that the Suzuki cabinet
or its successor might make, a
definite peace bid within the pre
dictable future.
Officials reiterated that there
har been nothing even faintly re
sembling an official peace offer
from Japan.
On the contrary, they insist
that despite the damage to Ja
pan's main cities and the loss" of
her shipping with consequent
food shortages the Japanese show
every evidence of going ahead
with plans to fight to the last.
These officials point particu
larly to a recent radioTokyo de
scription of a handbook on forti
fications which the enemy ac
count said Was distributed to Jap
anese civilians by the army. This
gave detailed instructions how
to build defense works of various
hinds and demanded that "every
one of the entire population must
convert his native place into a
fortress."
U.S. Dead in Troop
Ship Losses 3,604
WASHINGTON, June 13 -(AP)
The army disclosed today that
3,604 American soldiers died in
the sinking or damage of troop
ships in 41 month ; of war against
Germany and Italy.
This was a loss of four men for
every 10,000 embarked, wnich the
army said was a -record nearly
twice as good as that for World
War I when the rale was 7.2.
There were 4.4r3.0fil troops em
barked from the United States,
with 1,0!)4 lost on the outbound
trips. However, almost every sol
dier made at least two trips to
sea duo to iutpr-lhcutcr and intra
theater moves.
Major General C. P. Gross,
chief of transportation, attributed
the comparatively small loss ot
life to the "superlative work ol
the allied navies." the allied air
forces, the constant vigilance of
convoy escorts and to gun crews
aboard transports.
