Creating a Jap Problem ' : Between the soft-headedhess of the war re- " location authority and the bullheadedness of the white citizen purists the Japanese problem has been wretchedly handled. The WRA let the internees at the centers they administered get out of hand, while the extreme Jap-haters contributed a great deal toward creating a false situation which will yield harvests of 'trouble in. the future. The original move of the western defense command was dictated by defense of the coast, so all Japanese were moved back from coastal regions. Loyal Japanese-Americans have been permitted to locate in" other parts of the coun try. The disloyal are still, interned and will be kept interned lor the duration, unless shipped back to Japan under exchange agreement. However the California chauvinists are fan- ning into flames the ancient and now revived prejudices" against the Japs - as a race. They seek to bar even Japanese-Americans from re ' . turning to the coast. This cannot be done con stitutionally, and vigilant terrorism would be a reproach to the coast. Out here on this coast we might ponder the report of H. V. Kaltenborn, famous newswriter and radio commentator, just back from a 20,000 mile trip through "Pacific war areas. He is quot ed as saying, on his arrival in San Francisco: American-born Japanese are doing one of the - greatest services for our Pacific, armies, and there is no Japanese problem in Hawaii. Why in the world we had to create one here I don't know. If army control would be as intelligent here as in. the islands on the Japanese problem, I would favor it, but I don't blame the army if they don't want to accept the headache here. I think loyal Japanese, here should be given the benefit of the doubt and be permitted to follow their vocations. In view of the situation on the island in regard to the Japanese, it is evident the problem has not been handled in telligently here. A General Calls The visit of Gen. George C. Marshall to Gen. MacArthur is not only of value from the stand point of military operations, it gives a de served recognition to MacArthur as field com mander. It is not without notice that at the sev eral conferences dealing with the Pacific war, whether held in Washington, Quebec or Cairo, Gen. MacArthur was not in attendance. Since he has a most important assignment and has a battle-won knowledge of Japanese ' tactics and the experience of many years' residence in the Philippines it would seem he should have been called to attend some of these sessions. Instead he has been communicated with, but, he has had no opportunity for personal par ticipation in the destiny-planning conferences. Whether he could not be spared from his post (though Churchill and Roosevelt and ; Eisen hower and Halsey and Nimitz could) or whe ther there was a bit of jealousy or of political fear or doubt of his contribution we cannot say. Now, at least, he is recognized by acall from Gen. Marshall, the chief of staff. There are some signs that the Pacific war will not be left in a state of suspended ani mation pending disposition of public no. 1, who is Hitler. The Atlantic and Pacific wars are of different types. The former is largely now. a land and air operation, with the navy for patrol duty. The latter is definitely a navy task in coordination with air and land forces. The Pacific war does not call for large bodies of troops yet, and will not if we can get through to China to organize and supply Chinese ar mies. So it is within range of probability that action in the Pacific will accelerate this win ter and next spring. News Behind Fourth Term Postmaster General Frank C. Walker, who doubles as democratic national commtiteeman, said after lunching with the president that he didn't think Roosevelt had decided whether to run again or not, adding, "It is much too early to decide." If we were a democrat we would say it is al most too late to decide. -Roosevelt's very si lence makes the decision for him. The presi dent cannot go along until just before the con vention and then say, "Well, boys, I'm not go ing to run." The party then would have to im provise a ticket without the benefit of pre liminary sifting of names and poll of party sentiment. Either the president must "declare himself out without much further delay or else wreck his party's chances in 1944. ; Of course he may have don the latter already. . . m AA4iMtf . 4 a t -ir a - .... ... - uiw iujiwu.ua, auiea -soldiers t " bein gypped in Italy on everything they wan to ouy. mere is nothing new about that The same thing happened in Africa.

Landis, flew into town a few days back for an unscheduled, unannounced series of conferences, and, since then, the air in the highest gov ernment halls has carried thin threats that Landis may quit the whole business and resign in August Mr. Landis is moving quietly and secretly because evident ly he does not wish to bestir another useless flurry of Bri tish criticism, such as back washed the reports of the five Pan! Man , globe - travelling senators upon their return some weeks back. But what the sen ators found out is not much more than half of that in which Mr. Landis has been mired in Cairo. His experiences come only second-hand from those with whom he has conferred, but there are enough of these to piece together a rather solid confirmation of the unsatisfactory situation. His hearers avow he has been blocked and by passed completely in the job to which be was as signed after the published criticism of British business enthusiasm, namely the job of seeing that the interests of the lendor-lessor were fully under stood and protected thereafter. If he denies trucks to the Persian government, for instance, the British will send our trucks from lend-lease in their own name. When he sends a man to London to make a lend-lease point, he generally can obtain only an American Captain 'to deal with a British general, the difference in ranks assuring British success for any . argument .But if he himself effects a decision in Cairo, he cannot be sure of averting a reversal from Wash ington. All that the British officers must do to reverse him is to get Churchill to telephone Harry Hop kins, the president's assistant who immediately sets Mr. Landis right So promptly are his decisions anticipated, some of his associates have suspected his wires have not been always inviolate or pri- vate. - British interests are being shard driven toward maintaining direction of development of the Per- sten oil fields, which may explain the extraordinary activity here lately of Petroleum Administrator Harold Ickes, who even wants the government to furnish some minority capital through its petro leum reserves corporation to let private American oil companies develop Arabian and Iraquian fields and the senate Truman committee is still pri vately pondering why more oil is not available to us from the middle east where the British have the wells. . All this has made Mr. Landis disheartened and discouraged, as well It might While, nothing is to be gained by sheer criticism' of the British or their exceptionally ambitious trade policies end It is foolish of citizens, or commentators now again to indulge their first emotions and give vent to criti cism which is merely shunted aside the time has arrived to set this lend-lease matter straight com pletely straight 4 . . . Mr. Landis saw both Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Hop- ' kms at Cairo, either of whom might be able to do the necessary inner spade work, but both were ex clusively occupied with problems of winning the war. No doubt their minds are too filled and hands too busy to straighten out this side-mess, but they could get some-people to do it, w even empower Mr. Landis to do it. -X'ij. -!r It ' Unless something Is done, senators will become " aware of what has been going on, and start again tbea- own way, the vocal way. Resignation of Mr. Landis would be enough to bring on a situa tion which no one who has the true war interests of Britain and the United States at heart wants -so see 'oeveiopea. . - . - DnCGirp.iroSIinii The WairN Give By KXRKE L. SIMPSON Copyright IMS b the Ajwoctated Prtw 'Target Germany' Allied bombing planes are evidently using airfields in Sicily and maybe in southern Italy for long-range raids on Brenner Pass, Athens airdromes, and Innsbruck. Even where the fields are all laid it takes time to. assemble planes, ground-crews, repair depots, barracks, supplies and repairs. It is. doubtful if the al lies are ready yet to mount the full-scale air offensive which they plan from these bases. The new book "Target Germany", an official story of the first year's work over Europe by the Eighth American Air force gives some statistics which reveal the magnitude of air operations. To make an airfield for 50 bombers it takes 1,500,000 man-hours of! labor, 640,000 square yards of concrete and $5,000,000 in money. Out of a complement of 50 bombers to a field an average of only 20 can get into the air at once, the others being under repair or held in reserve. So it takes 50 such fields to mount a raid for 1000 planes. To launch such a raid 60,000 men are re quired, all highly trained specialists; and be hind them another 65,000 men to service the 60, 000 specialists who keep the 10,000 men on the lfiOO planes in the air. This aggregates the equivalent of ten army divisions for a raid of 1000 planes. Figures on gasoline consumption have been published a number of times and are similarly startling in their size. So it is plain to see why we cannot immediate ly launch big air offensives just a few days after an airfield, as at Foggia, is taken, it ex plains also why it has taken time to assemble in Britain the men and equipment and sup plies for the raids on western Europe. After two years Britain is still carrying the big end of the bombing in that theatre. But Germany is feeling the growing might and weight of the American air force, which probably will be at its peak on the eve of the great invasion. Dr. John F. Cramer brings to his new post as dean and director of general extension for the state system of higher education a splendid background of professional training, of ex perience in Oregon's schools together with a personality both agreeable and forceful. It is safe to predict his administration will be marked with vigor and progress. The war In Europe has crossed the 1943 winter solstice dateline under circumstances foreboding the close approach of the triple fronted climactic attack on nazi Germany..' : - -w.j Eastward, . long range Russian artillery is close enough to Vit ebsk to lob shells into the half encircled nazi fortress, pivot of the whole Dnieper-Baltic flank of the German defense front Its loss must lead to a nazi" winter retreat that . could prove more disastrous than Napoleon's flight from Russia. Southward, Anglo-American troops in Italy, fighting with French and Italian units, are still far from Rome but the crit ical keys to nazi outer defenses of the eternal city are cracking. Somewhere behind allied foot troops blasting their way ahead inch by inch must be massed British and American armored power. It has been of relatively small use yet on the Italian mainland due to mountain ter rain; but supported by allied air superiority bids fair to speed up the advance on Rome at both ends of the line as more suitable ground for tank action is reached." westward, from Britain, the accelerating Anglo-American aerial attack serves notice of coming events. Britain - based American heavy bombers initia ted the official, start of winter with a sustained cross-channel air attack that coupled with blastings by medium bombers of invasion-front targets in France, hinted at bombardment prepar ations for the long awaited second-front invasion. There are hints and in Rus sia more than hints of impend ing tremendous military devel opments. In Russia the Christmas week end could see nazi footholds on Russian soiL already . shriveled to a shadow of what they were a ; year ago, broken from . the Baltic to the Black Sea. There are intimations that the nazis may . how be : fleeing from the Crimea by see and air. . Linked with the Berlin-announced evacuation of Kherson, a German withdrawal from the Crimea must mean a coming wholesale nazi retreat from the Dnieper bend and possibly" all southwestern Russia, as well as the Baltic. Special significance -attaches also to indications that prime targets of recent allied air raids have been largely U-boat build ing or ; servicing facilities. That lends color to London accounts of increasingly heavytroop movements across . the Atlantic now in progress and in continu ous prospect as last preparations for a second front invasion are completed. The impression that it may come sooner than many expect is heightened by the warning from a high American authority that tremendous casualties must be expected within' 90 days. 1J-' SilXOOS Around Oregon ' "'" fr t Amrt4 Pre urju Ford Willow Run Workers Strike DETROIT, Dec 22 -)- More than 1,600 supervisory employes at the Ford-operated Willow Run bomber plant left their jobs Tues day, the company reported, but added the production schedules thus far were unimpaired.
