General MacArtluir accomplished
what the Japanese had needed six
to do after Pearl Harbor.
In late February, elements of
riui.irriNE comjvksts
lieneral MacArthur had de
veloped a strong portion of his
assault force on his left or east
ern flank to provide protection
for the beachhead against the
strong Japanese forces to the
north and east
ly in Oregon. So far these costs have not been visited on the
owners of property. The trend, in fact, has been toward re
lief of the property tax payer t the expense of the income
tax payer. This is possible jn a period of prosperity with its
high wages and high industrial returns. But with the waning
of prosperity such costs will, under the present system, revert
largely to real and personal property, just at a time when real
and personal property will be decreasingly able to shoulder
them.
The outlook was manifestly disturbing to one important
group, the eastern Oregon wheat league, when it held its con
vention in Pendleton this month. It gave recognition to the al-
the Agno which presumably
should have been a strongly held
Japanese defense line.
The troops met little resistance
until they approached Clark field.
The I corps, commanded by Maj.
Gen. Innis P. Swift, had heavy
fighting on the east flank where
the Japanese were strongly en
ds two nil-strips and eomuletelv
occupied Puerto Princesa penin
sula. The airfields gave control of
a wide area of the China sea
greatly facilitating the severance
of Japanese communication with
Malaysia and Burma.

THE DOWNTOWN CHRISTMAS TREE
The Junior Chamber of Commerce is to be commended on
its revival of the old community Christmas-tree custom here.
Beginning with the early days of Bend there was, more likely
than not, a large outdoor tree, lavishly decorated and lighted,
which became the center of the season's activities. The Jav
cees would not be the Jaycees, however, if they failed to bob
up with some worthwhile new ideas and so the'big tree which
has made its appearance at the Wall and Oregon intersection
will probably prove to be at least slightly different as its prep
aration and use progress.
This is merely our conjecture and we leave its confirma
tion to Santa Claus and the Jaycees. But in the meantime we
