. 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.

The News
' By PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, December 21 Mr. Roosevelt's
high commissioner for lend-leasing with the Bri
tish at Cairo, James M. 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

'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.
