Second Front !
" A second front has been opened, on the
nazis, and not by any of the United Nations.
It has been opened by a' group of Germans
themselves, a group of German refugees and
war prisoners in Russia who joined in a mani
festo proposing plans for a .post-war Germany.
Admitting that "the' war is lost already,
the manifesto declares that "Germany must not
die," and drops a hint for action in the sentence:
"The army, must' play a decisive part- The im
portant part of the manifesto is its proposal for
establishment of a democratic German; govern
ment, "without the weakness of the Weimar re
public." It rails also for the "lawful and un
merciful trial, of those responsible for the war,
but recommends amnesty for Hitler's followers
who denounce him and join the movement for
a free Germany. : ; THr
Granted that the group is small and now
powerless, it still is heartening to know that the
spirit of freedom still is breathed by some Ger
mans, and that they are looking forward to
the time when they can create for themselves
a government based on freedom rather than
force and , militarism.
. The German army may, at the time it deems
proper, take over authority and ask for an arm
istice, as it did in the first world war. But the
generals are not the ones to govern Germany.
One difficulty both for Germany and I Italy is
the lack of any organization of men of liberal
temper who might undertake the tasks of gov
ernment. The group in Russia who are bold
enough to speak out now may be a nucleus
around which men of similar mind may rally
and furnish a frame of leadership for the future
Germany. : -.' . ' 4 - ' ;
News of this "second front," if the names
bear any significance, may help adulterate loy
alty within Germany, which is necessary before
there" could be internal collapse. The alternate
of a democratic Germany may carry wider ap
peal within that country than we dream of. The
Russians were smart in allowing Pravda, the
-soviet newspaper, to publish the manifesto.
Now Is the Tune'
State capitol news includes a report that the
board of control has authorized the purchase of
used cars, new cars no longer being available.
This news highlights the growing difficulties in
motor transportation. The country, has been
skating along on its stocks of cars in hands of
private owners when the order- came to cease
automobile manufacture, and the stocks in
dealers' hands at that time. The latter have
passed into the-former class almost completely.
Meantime cars are wearing out and some are
being wrecked. The state, whose employes have
to do a ivast amount of travel by motor car, is
now forced to turn to owners of used cars to
obtain necessary replacements. )
Going along by the used car lots one has
been surprised to see the number of cars of late
model and good appearance These cars come
in considerable numbers from men who are
drafted and sell their cars before leaving. As
time goes on the supply of good cars must dwin- -die.
What will be done then? i I
If necessary, cars might be taken from those
using them for non-essential purposes. The Ore
gonian suggests there may be many cars up on
blocks for the duration. If so, they should be
turned in on the present high marked and put to
work. Then there may be many who have little"
use for a car, who would be willing to sell it to
some one with real need. ! 1 v.
The country has not reached the stage of .
desperation where it must round up second
hand cars as it did aluminum pots and iron
kettles. But no automobile in good condition
should be kept in its stall unused for weeks at
time. - y.. ;
"Now is the time for all good automobiles to
come to the aid of their country."
Halsey & Home
The Medford Mail-Tribune points out the
head-on collision of opinion between Admiral
, Halsey, who the first of the year predicted Ja
pan's defeat in 1943 and, later reiterated his
prophecy, and the recent statement of Vice-Admiral
Home that the navy is counting on a six
year war with Japan. The two utterances don't
jibe; and we may offer the rough guess that the
truth, as to time, lies in between, probably
nearer to Admiral Halsey's date than to Ad
miral Horne's limit. .
At the newspaper convention in Eugene last
month, one of the speakers reported on his visit
with Admiral Halsey shortly after his now
famous utterance. The Admiral admitted he
"stuck his chin out;" but," judging from his pic
tures, he has a formidable chin that he doesn't
hesitate to stick out, and judging by his moves
as naval commander, he doesn't hesitate to send "
his fleet out where they can get some shooting.
But the admiral's ? explanation was that the -country
was being fed so much gloom by vari
ous crepe-hangers that he thought a dose of
optimism was needed. So he gave an injection of
high-powered joy-talk that at least helped bal
ance the public, mind. i . . -
All such predictions are only, predictions,
though assuredly those in possession of the most
Information should be the ones best qualified
to stick pins in calendars and they aren't do
ing it Admiral Home was not really predicting
m v&t of six years; he was stating navy prepara
tions which ought to be on a very conserva
tive basis. ' . -
Just as soon as our hands are free in Europe
the concentration of naval and air power in the
Pacific will make Japan curl up at the edges and
then at the center; And we may not need to
wait till the nazis are disposed of. In a. boxing
match you don't hav5 to wait till the knock-out
punch to tell which guy is going to win. When
it becomes dear that Hitler in Europe is getting
rc22y, the allies can commence shifting more
ctrcn-th to tzs care cf Jspsn. And it is not
L-r.possiila'thst Halsey may fca correct--within
twelve cr eighteen months. .';.

Here is one order that all loyal civilians
will comply with: no sales of turkeys to civil
ians during August, and September, while the
army and navy provide supplies for turkey din
ners for soldiers and sailors pn Thanksgiving
day and Christmas. The birds must be bought
early to make sure they reach Attu, New Zea
land, Iceland and Iran by Thanksgiving time.

. By KTRKE L. SIMPSON $
War Anatyl for Thr Statumaw
y The fall of Palermo, Sicilian capital, to Amer
ican armored forces, moving more swiftly than did
the once, vaunted nazl panzer spearheads at the
outset of the war, does more man write all west
ern and central Sicily, off the war books.
It clamps a powerful, steel-shod western jaw
on the two main Sicilian lateral communication
routes north and south of the Peloritan mountains.
American pressure eastward on either will take
axis forces on the flank. An indicated 15-mile
further Canadian advance from the Ramacca re
gion In thi east center of the allied line toward
Adrano would turn the inshore. end of the : nazl
line on the south and southwest slopes of Mt Etna
holding up the British advance at Catania. , -5
' Nazi retreat into the jumbled hills of the Mes-'
sina peninsula under the triple allied pressure is
closely impending, with small prospect, that any
considerable part of the shattered axis armies in
Sicily can escape to the Italian mamirt. They are '
now dependent for reinforcements and supplies on
such small trickles of aid as can reach them at night
across the Messina strait in light surface craft
There is virtually no airfield remaining open to
them in all Sicily.
How long it may take to mop up the last axis
resistance In northeastern Sicily can only be guess
ed at,1 but it well may be only a matter of days.
West of the American break-through to the. north
coast at Palermo, there is little reason to expect
any major fighting. And that western end of the
Island, with its harbors, its network of hard-sur-.
.faced roads and railways and its span of only SO
miles to Cap Bon in Tunisia is alread pointing an
ominous allied threat at Sardinia, Corsica and the
southeastern coast of metropolitan France itself.
Western Sicily is the logical first advance base
for the mounting of a French-American drive to
liberate continental France. It seems obvious that
the return to France avhen ft comes, will be under
American, not British auspices, with French troops
in the van.
The first step to Sicily has now been taken. The :
next to Sardiriia and Corsica cannot be long de
layed to complete a land-based allied blockade line
about ; Italy proper to the west.
. Both are in a virtual state of siege now. From
bases in northwestern Sicily allied planes can sweep
the Tyrrheanian and Uguriacg seas that wera
Italy's south and east coasts. British-American
naval power based on Sicily can range those Ital
ian waters at will with Jittle fear of what is left of ?
Italy's once powerful fleet. Sardinia and Corsica
are as much a trap for their isolated axis garrisons
as Sicily proved, and It remains to be seen whether
they will offer even a token resistance.
i;
Appeal
If the enemy should win, what would be our .
fate? .The nation, would , be dismembered the
people reduced to a herd of slaves, the strongest
would be sent to work in the mines of the Urals
and the steppes. The weaker would grow flowers
for the ladies or design pottery for British baro
- nets. Our museums would be looted, our arsen
als closed, our ports emptied of our shipping, our
factories silent, our fields abandoned, our hotels
thronged with noisy -and drunken English ' and
American tourists. --Fascist Party Secretary
Scoria on Radio Rome, following allied appeal,
for surrender. -
A dismal picture, though : the part about
r raising flowers and the closing of arsenals is not
calculated to horrify peace-loving Italians. But
that about the hotels being thronged with Eng-
lish . and American tourists positively was the
wrong slant. The Italians would be delighted to
entertain tourists, as of , yore and ; little dis
turbed at the thought that some would not be
stricly sober.' . . ; y. '
Decentralization ;
War production authorities are finally learn
ing to take the jobs to the labor supply rather
than to shift labor to the "jobs. The' proposed
pilot plant to get alumina from clay may dodge
Portland and Longview, where the labor is now
fully employed, and go to Cottage Grove, where
labor could probably be obtained.. The Boeing
Aircraft company Is completing a branch plant
at Aberdeen and plans seven more branches in
smaller cities from Bellingham to Chehalis.
. This decentralization of industry will . have :
beneficial effect. Not only will further conges
tion in ' great centers be avoided, but better
working conditions will, be obtained in the
smaller communities.
Bombing of any city is shocking to Ameri
can ideals; and Americans have not engaged in
bombing merely as a reprisal on the-enemy, but
rather to destroy points of military value. That
was true in the bombing of Tokyo, and has been
true in the bombing of German and French ci
ties. Extreme care.-was exercised in dropping
bombs in Rome. The bombers flew over in broad
daylight, had their targets clearly marked for
them, and avoided areas of religious or histori
cal interest. If the. Italians do not want more
bombs to fall on Rome, they can declare it an
open city and it will be unmolested.'
The, United Mine Workers and its president
John L. Lewis have finally recognized the au
thority of the war labor board by submitting
i wage contract for the board's approval J and
expressing a willingness to appear before the
board. This ends the , defiance by ;' Lewis of a
government agency. However, Lewis can say
that since his former expression of disregard
for the board, congress has passed a law estab
lishing its authority, which is true. But it is
something to have this maverik bulldogged by
law., ; r . . -v:K -".-.- Li-

Today's Garden
By LILLIE L. MADSEN
Mrs. C M. T. writes that so ;
, many garden. magazinesand so
many garden advisors advocate "
the use of sulphate of potash
and "it just can't be had. What
on earth will one do. Gardening
Is becoming very difficult."
' Life does become a little dif
ficult during wars, you know.
Mrs. C. M. T. will have to learn
,to do the same in gardening as
. she does in cooking when she
runs across a recipe which calls
for three cups of sugar when she
only has one, or a pound of choc
olate when she doesn't have; any.
One learns i to use substitutes in
t this day anid'age. Ashes, for in-
; stance, will furnish some of the
potash. Leafmold also 1 contains
some. Leafrnold mulches are
very good for rhododendrons and .
azaleas when one cant get peat
moss which Just helps me to
remind you that good care of
these .shrubs now determines
how many .flowers they will
' give you next spring. Don't let
them dry out. ,

That was Just a pleasantry-

but it came back on me later like

Budd laughed. "You certainly
arent slow to anger, either, Mr.
Hoyt. But mind you, I don't
blame you. Delmar is an ass."

Budd began talking about their
friendly relations with the fish

In the case of war savings
bonds in the E and F. aeries,
a certain small percentage of
these bonds are turned in for
' cash, it is true. This is per
missable under the terms of the
. bonds. They are designed for
sayings and to be available for
emegency family needs. It is not
. "smart" nor is it patriotic to
cash these bonds for spending
money, but only in case of real
need beyond one's current in
come. These bonds, if held to
their maturity, whrch is 12
years, pay interest at the rate of
2J per cent, which is consider
ably higher than , the coupon
bonds. :
Our bonded debt is growing,
and will continue to grow while
the war is on. It is the price of
VICTORY and a low price
considering the stakes of the
war and the sacrifices in lives
that many are making. But these
bonds are held within our own
country, which greatly simplh
. ties the v financing program foi j
the government.
Bonds of the United States
continue to be the prime in
vestment In the whole world.
Our citizens should not hesitate
to continue buying and holding
these bonds. . -
The omission of the last line,
from Friday's column left its'
conclusion hanging in mid-air,
a form of editorial levitation I
do not like. This was the closing
sentence of the column on Rus
sia and Japan:'
"So the safest way to leave
the subject is to conclude that
Russia will do - what Joe Stalin
decides it should do." which
still leaves the question suspended.
