BACK ON LUZON
The Japs were right again in calling the turn on the
'uvasion of Luzon. Not infrequently since the war moved
into the far western Pacific they have been right in fore
casting or in reporting significant movements of American
forces. That they should report and forecast unquestionably
springs from the vain hope of goading American sources
into like activity which might yield additional information.
That they are able to make their reports and predictions with
at least some degree of accuracy can be understood when it is
remembered that they still have some air power remaining
and that it is only to be expected that the movement of the
huge convoys needed for invasion must at some time be ob
served. More important from our viewpoint, however, is the
fact that the forces of Nippon have, to date, seemed power
less to halt our convoys or to stem our advance.
This must be especially encouraging to the American com
mand, for Jap familiarity with the current plan of attack is
not limited to occurrences of the week. Here is basically
the same plan of combined operations that was used in the
neutralizing of the New Guinea approaches with naval and
air bombardment, in the by-passing tactics which speeded
up the schedule of major invasions and in the sea-borne
flanking movements, all used with such excellent effect not
only in the south Pacific, but in the Marshalls, the Carolines
and the Marianas as well.
As to the climax of the Philippine campaign, the American
forces, when they were ready to land, established their beach
heads on Lingayen gulf, arm of the south China sea, on the
west side of Luzon. How familiar a procedure to the Japs,
who must be muttering to themselves, "This is where we came
in." It is, in fact, just where they came in when the chief
island of the archipelago was attacked in December of 1941.
Their reason was sound, for the gulf marks a major break
in the mountain chain which rims the greater part of the
island, marks also the entrance to relatively level inland'
terrain which affords a natural route to Manila. The reason
this year was just as appealing to American tacticians and
an American army is now well advanced on the northern end
of this route.
Another thing is becoming familiar to the Japs and will
become more familiar the relative isolation of the Philip
pines. That isolation was all in their favor three years ago.
American forces, cut off from reenforcement, cut off from
sources of munitions and supplies, fought on but the end was
inevitable. The isolation in that case was largely from natural
causes. Today, when the shoe is pinching the Japanese foot,
the isolation is entirely unnatural. It is induced, carefully
fostered by American operations. Actually Japan is not so far
away, nor is Hong Kong. Formosa is close indeed. But this is

WHEN NEW YORK WAS
YOL'NO
VI
The town of New York, In the
IS! li century, was considerably
different, in habit and tempera
ment, from any other colonial
community. A largo number of
travelers and strangers were al
ways to be found on Manhattan
Island. To accommodate them
there were numerous inns, with
such names ns the King's Arms,
the Merchant's Coffee House, the
Ulue Hoar, the Three Pigeons, The
Sign of the Spread Eagle. Any
body who had the money to pay
his way could come to New Yoi'k
and stay indefinitely without be
ing questioned by the authorities

jail and is not allowed to work?
"The question vou-ask," the
Major replied, "is the essence of
the whole thing. They jail a man
because he is unable to pay his
debts and fix it so he will never
be able to pay them."
"But I should think that the
government would object to feed
ing these prisonersi" said Mr. Ma
son. "The government doesn't feed
them, nor does it clothe them.
The creditor who has the man put
in jail must pay a few pennies a
day for his support while h is
in prison, but it is not enough to
All this does not mean that re-conquest of the island
will be an easy task. The going will become more and more
difficult as American forces come closer to Manila. The size
of the task, indeed, is indicated by the scope of the prepara
tions made for it. The mere fact that the invading army num
bers an approximate 100.000 is an indication that large settle
resistance is expected. Whether or not it has yet been en
countered is still to be known on this side of the Pucilic.

Oregon Farmers
To Get Lumber
Although increased military de
mands have necessitated tight
ened war production board con
trols on lumber distribution for
civilian use, adequate supplies
are expected to be available for
maintenance and repair of farm
buildings and for new farm con
struction essential to production,
reports Robert B. Taylor, chair
man of the state AAA committee.
Oregon has been allocated
5,309,000 board feet of lumber for
distribution to farmers on AA-2
and AA-3 preference rating cer
tificates in the first three months
of 1945. The certificates are is
sued by county AAA committees
for construction that will contrib
ute to increased production of
needed farm commodities. Among
the permitted uses are repairs to
farm dwellings costing less than
$200, and replacement of farm
buildings destroyed by fire.
In issuing the certificates for
lumber, Taylor pointed out, coun
ty committees give consideration
to whether the use of the pro
posed construction is consistent
with farm production goals. Since
Oregon's 1945 poultry goals gen
erally call for holding production
at the 1944 level, construction of
additional poultry facilities in
many cases would be considered
unsound expansion.
In 1944, 6,497 farm lumber cer
tificates for a total of 6V4 million
board feet of lumber were issued
by county committees in Oregon.
Work begins on enlarging the
Carroll Acres school by adding
two rooms taken from the Ken
wood school.
