Jap Food and Drink j '
In the cleanup of Aitu our soldiers find that
the Japs were well provisioned. likewise in
'Tunisia the axis armies had ample stores of
food and drink and ammunition too for that
matter. The rule seems to hold in all countries:
fire the fighting men the best the country bap.
And the Japs on Attu had plenty. '
Here Is an AP .report of what! Americans
found in the Jap camp, most of the items "in
the thousands of cases and the hundreds of
barrels":"-' .
Rice, cooked and uncooked. A '
Oatmeal, which now Is making very good
meals for our soldiers. ;
Canned Oriental oranges, which now is the
first item our soldiers Jump when they find a
new ration dump. ; J
literally tons of good potatoes, stored in rub
berized sacks to keep them fresh, f
Ditto fresh carrots, which did not keep so
well, but which help to make our GI stew more
palatable.
Ditto fresh onions, which the Japanese used
as barracks decorations when they began to
sprout in too great numbers to be used for food
... quickly. - T
Thousands of cases of "Salute" salmon, the
same stuff which used to flood the West Coast
markets in low price brackets; also thousands of -e
eases of unlabeled salmon.
Meat balls in cans. This, not savory to Amer
icans, was the only meat ..found In quantity.
Half a dozen varieties of dried fruits.
Soybean cake by the ton. -.
Kelp, for soup.
Dried fish of various kinds. !
Tea, tea and more tea, and small quantities
of coffee.
The Japs go in strong for vitamin pills. Every
soldier had three or four large bottles of them
plus an assortment of remedies of various
kinds. And saki plenty of saki bottles all ov
er the beach bottles in all the huts.
The' foodstuffs are going to' the American
mess, and the said, -well, doubtless the soldiers
will want to sample it, at least. ;
Coal Strike Ends
Once again, as in 1919, John L. Lewis has
called off his strike, on government order. Then
he told his men: "You can't strike against the
government.", His action now confirms that
declaration. It stands as further j recognition
of the truth of the Coolidge declaration that no
one can strike against the public safety anytime
or anywhere, at the time of the Boston police
" strike. Faced with the direct, blunt order of
the president, 'Lewis has yielded. But he did
give the country an awful scare.
John L. Lewis has given labor its greatest dis
service. Regardless of what concessions he may
wring for his miners, the stirred-up wrath of
the public will continue to vent itself against
labor and labor unions for a long time to come.
And he has done his country a great disservice,
putting the interest of his group above the in
terest of his country in wartime. ;
No one emerges with any credit from this
mess: Not Lewis, of course. Not the president,
who long was flouted; nor the labor board,
which was ignored and defied until the presi
dent himself took command. Not Sec'y Ickes
whose flirtation with Lewis, no matter how well
intentioned, threatened to yield the principle
at stake. And the public, of course, will wake
up with higher coal costs. The miners? They
will win higher wages at the cost of public
esteem. p : f
The lesson of the strike is that the monopoly
power over labor must be broken or controlled.
Argentine Revolt
While it was generally understood that the
Castillo pro-axis regime did not j reflect the
popular mind in the Argentine, it jwas hardly
anticipated that a revolt would occur, especially '
since an election was scheduled for this year."
The Argentine republic, too, has long enjoyed
stability in its government, and freedom from
the frequent revolutions that prevailed in other
Latin-American countries. The ousting of Pres.
Castillo, if the revolution succeeds, will bring
the last of the American countries in line with
the United Nations. f i

Wo Favor Sways XJ; No Fear Shall Awe
rroca First Statesman, March 23, 1851
J
rami Mna Kurt Dietmar was heard broad
casting from Berlin that nazi blitz-warfare was
over and Hitler was switching to the defensive
on all fronts.
If you could pin these facts down as a true indi
cation of nazi intentions, they would comprise a
development as decisive as the fall of Tunisia.
Only a few weeks ago. Hitler in person was
blatantly advertising to the German people what
he would do to Russia in his next offensive this
summer. He was accumulating men, planes and
material for it, he said. If his official radio spokes
men are now correct, he has failled.
All through the long winter months, he likewise
kept a bridgehead in the Caucasus at heavy expense
in lives and guns, solely as an offensive threat, to
again try for the oil he failed to reach last year.
Similarly his preparations along the northern ,
front have had an offensive character. The way he
has moved his army about this spring suggested
clearly he would strike at Moscow, heart of Soviet
power.
The theory that he has given up hope of holding
any initiative anywhere can now be sustained by
one other significant development He kept pushing
men and material Into the lost cause in Tunisia
right up to the very end. There is reason to believe
he wanted to hold there until July, so he would be
free of pressure on that front to organize his sum
mer Russian campaign. This loss of Tunisia two
months ahead of his expectations may well have
upset his Russian calculations.
There are other good reasons for detecting a ma
jor internal German defeat behind the Berlin radio's

plans is no longer possible. Sub warfare last of
fensive stroke of nazi power Is reported to have
been broken definitely (by War Mobilizer Byrnes).
For the present, this vital apparent turn of af
fairs must be held ,under a question mark. But un
less Germany shows an offensive in Russia by mid
June, it will be accepted everywhere as a conclusive
fact, which heralded the final turn of the war.
The revolutionary curtailment of eastern gas sup
plies (revolutionary as far as transportation is con
cerned) is accepted everywhere here asa move to
build up supplies at European jumping-off places
for the coming invasion. V r . 4 '
Certainly all the announced non-military excuses
have evaporated. The pipeline and railroad flood
breaks were mended long before the new order'
cutting the value of coupons to 2 gallons. ;
It is probably true that officials have not effi
ciently managed eastern distribution of what Is left
from these new militarv necessities AnihAHtrM
connected with the Industry have noted that every
time a real famine develops, the government finds
gas somewhere. v
True also, the mismanagement should bring
something like a Baruch committee investigation of
the subject, as was done with rubber. The Ameri
' can Automobile association has recommended this,
but the suggestion has gained little headway, be-
cause most authorities hope or suspect the need for
gas in Europe may diminish before such a commit
tee could report. :

'Spare That Tree i
Ordinarily reports of starting a new Industry
warm the "cockles of the heart; but when we
read of a plant down in Coos county being set
up to manufacture cut blocks for shipyard use
out of myrtlewood we lift our eyebrows instead.
These blocks are of 14 x 14 by five foot in di
mension. It is easy to see that any extensive
logging and milling of myrtle trees to obtain
blocks for the ravenous maw of shipbuilding
would quickly level the limited stand of such
trees.
It has been a matter of state pride to refer
to Oregon's myrtlewood as a unique Oregon
product only one other place growing myrtle
trees, the holy land, aid those of a different
variety. So we would hate to see the lovely
myrtle trees sacrificed for war unless it is ab
solutely necessary.,
Perhaps the cut planned will not make se
rious inroads on the stand; but if it does other
hardwoods should be substituted. We could
spare the valley white oak much better. Tree
conservationists would do well to examine the
situation, lest we lose too many of this rare,
strictly native, tree.
The famous "Woodman, spare that tree may
need to be invoked to save the species.'
The army and navy are calling for bugles
for use in foreign sectors. Any chance to slip
in a few saxophones with their mournful gurgles?
Mussolini tells, his fascist asociates he will
stay "until the end." It looks as though he
wouldn't have long to wait. ,

WASHINGTON, June 3 Is Hitler at the end of
his fighting rope? Is the big break in the war in
Europe a matter of weeks or months, instead of
promised years?
New portents raise three questions now more
seriously than ever before. The German radio, for
Instance, is bleating a new tune
lately claiming the speechless
Mr. Hitler need not have an of

after all, that the reich has

tle. 1 just spoke to Mr. Wain on
the telehone. He he's driving
up. He says for you please stay
until he gets here; he he has to
see you. Johnson stammered a
little in his eagerness. "He says
for you please to go up to your
old room if you've a mind to
and Mrs. Johnson will fix some
v lunch for youJV
Ann felt the slow color rise
to her cheeks. "Thank you," she
- said. T11 just run down to tne;
village and have a sandwich at
- the cuausstoreJ" -----
"Mr. Wain wont like that.
Ma'am," Mr. Johnson protested
a little nervously.
"- ; Ann smiled pleasantly and
said, "Mr. Wain wont like a lot
; of things."
Christopher Wain drew a com
plicated doodle on his desk pad.
It was one of his better doodles,
starting" out with the block out
.' line of a j Great Dane, ' and then
slowly working through a me
' tamorphosls ' of " curiycues into,
the elaborately tufted semblance
of a French poodle. The two men
facing him droned on withtheir
story. He! had already assimilat
ed their tale of woe but he had
to let their righteousness run its .
course, presently he would get
down to the bitter business of
making them realize that there .
never was a story with only one
side to It. That was it there
was always another side.
Wain, glanced down at the
clipping on his desk, which told
of the death, the week before,
of the noted polo player, Jimmie
Hemingway ... an automobile
wreck outside of Dublin, some-;
body's wife who would never be
the same again . . . Jimmie was ''
a ' specialist with other, people's .
wives. Although In specializing
with Brenda, it hadnt really
been another man's wife, for the
Wain marriage had been a tra
vesty long before Jimmie had
come upon the scene. Christo
pher wondered what effect the
tragic end of Hemingway's life
! would have on Brenda. She had '
never discussed the relationship,
. but he had assumed, when she
had asked for - a divorce six
months ago, Jimmie had been
the reason for her abrupt de
cision. He glanced again at the
clipping. April 17th. That would
be last Thursday. Brenda had
written him on Thursday and
the letter had been forwarded
up to Broadfields where he was
spending! the weekend. She
hadnt mentioned Jimmle'e
death but one could never tell
with Brenda; she might or
might not have heard about it.
Smith,: his secretary she had
lost the "Miss" several years
back slipped into the room and
- put a message before him. He
glanced at it. Johnson at Myles
.is on the phone. .
. "Tell him IH call back."
. Smith ! scribbled another note
and put it over the first. It's
something about Miss Rivers.
"Why didn't you say so?" he
demanded. . "Excuse me. gentle
men.' He picked up the tele
phone. "Wain speaking."
; "She's here!" Johnson's voice
assumed the quality of an arch
conspirator. He didn't know
what her, visit meant but he
knew It j was important. ("There
ue exactly two things for you
to do,"

his employer

Tfte War Neivs
By GLENN BABB
AP War Analylst Cor The Statesman
i Argentina has a new govern- .
ment and It appears certain that
soon she will have a new policy
toward the war whose effects no
people can escape. The regime
set up by General Pedro Rami
rez lightning coup supplants the
last government in the new .
world that maintained relations
with the axis. Although the in
tentions of the new junta are not
entirely clear, there seems little
doubt that those ties will be
ended. ; - '--L
, Tor one thing, the revolution- ?
jAry leaders are pledged to the
fulfillment of Argentina's inter
national agreements. This is gen
erally, interpreted as a promise
to carry into effect- the 18-months-old
Rio De Janeiro reso
lution calling for a rupture of
relations with the aggressor to
talitarian states that had attack
ed the United State. r
Tor the United Nations, an Ar
gentine break with Berlin, Romd
and Tokyo would be one of the
war's major gains. The axis em-
ba&siesiin Buenos Aires, whose'
huge staffs are packed with mil-
Itary and naval observers, pro
paganda specialists and sinister
agents of many kinds, would be
closed.) That would deprive the
enemy; of a military asset of
great value, his one listening
post and peephole in the .west
ern world. , -Although
Argentina some
.months ago limited foreign em
bassies to a file of 100 words
daily of coded telegrams, there

Christopher was on his feet as
he placed the receiver in its cra

better send me all the corres

and let me study it. I will give

and turned into Smith's office

you know when I'll be back."
He could see protestation siz
zling on the secretarial tongue.
She knew all his affairs, guard-
ed hi . bank accounts, and
looked upon the dog business as
not only an extravagance, but
a hobby that seriously interfer
ed with his profession. There
bad been a growing element of
disfavor in her attitude during
- the past weeks for ft was she who
bad written the letter confirm-'

and she who had made out the
checks for subsequent exendi
tures. Now she met his an
nouncement with candid oppo
sition. "If s a wonder you didn't
find some cosy little retreat in
northern Canada." she remark
ed. Then she added, "Dont for

delays for huddles, for measur
ing have slowed up the game un
til American spectators are voic
ing loud, and vehement disgust
over many games which some
times are protracted until after
' dark. Football has slowed up de
cidedly in the number of plays
pulled off in a period. The for
ward and lateral pass has liven
ed action, but It is weak alter
nate for a grounded ball, during
much of an afternoon.
The unlimited1 substitution
rule makes for the slow-up of
the game, which marry times
becomes merely a parade of
players from bench, to line-up
to bench. Announcers have dif
fkrulte keeping ap with changes
and ''the spectators except the
addicts, soon lose track of the
individual players.'
American coaches, who after
all. determine the style of play,
might very wed read the Brit
ish reviews, which are not un
kindly. Then they r would see
their game as strangers do, and
as the American spectators are
crsmmenring to see it. In plan
ning the "brave, new world" per
haps accelerated football may be
put on the menu.
Of course, if the British want
speed, they should watch an Am
erican basketball game (provid
ed it Is not played on zone-defense,
sitdown style). At its
fast tempo basketball players do
more racing and chasing than
ever was done on Canobie Lee,
after Lochinvar stole; Netherbys
bride. American sports may be
fast ' action, or slowdown; but I
there's been too much of the lat
ter as the games are made more
"scientific"
is no doubt that axis agents
there have been able to crowd
into their reporta home great
quantities of valuable Informa
tion. Ship movements in the
south Atlantic have been watch
ad and reported, and this has
contributed to the U-boats suc
cesses. Because of this situation
no United States merchant ves
sels have visited Buenos Aires
for nearly a year, unloading at
Montevideo, further up the river
Plata. The ending of this vicious
situation unquestionably will be
a big help to the allies in the
grim battle of the Atlantic.
If Argentina expels the axis
embassies,' it will.also mean the
purging of one more continent
of axis influence. The "new or
der", then will be confined to
the single land mass of Asia and
Europe, boxed in. blockaded and
besieged, with no effective con
tacts anywhere beyond the
oceans. ' And ; Argentina's long
delayed alignment with her sis
ter nations would bring to the
two Americas a solidarity, mu
tual trust and unity of purpose
never before known over so
great 'a portion of the earth's
surface. , .; - ;
It would be a mistake, how
ever, to assign to the neutrality
and other foreign issues too
large a role In the strife that
culminated In yesterday's rising.
The chief division doubtless waa
over domestic questions, and
there was great dissatisfaction
with the dictatorial methods of
the Castillo regime. ' ,
