Washington, D. C, December 24.
No one is saying, "It can't happen
here." The national capital would
not be surprised if the Japanese
sent air raiders over Washington and
Oregon and later attempted to land
an army around the mouth of the
Columbia about Tillamook and at
Grays Harbor. There is expectation
that some enemy flier, German or
Japanese, will sweep over the feder
al city some day or night and drop
a token bomb. This expectation is
a firm conviction in the minds of at
least 500,000 people in the District
of Columbia, which is to say about
half the population. Right now
steam shovels are excavating in the
"White House lawn preparing a shel
ter for White House workers and
those in the treasury building across
the street. This shelter digging was
a military secret (although the town
knew it) until a congressman dis
cussed it on the floor and thereafter
the papers could mention it.
For more than a score of years
the war college has known of the
strategy map of the Japanese for an
invasion of this country. This plan
called for a landing at Willapa, Aber
deen and some place on the Oregon
coast. Once having piled through the
surf, with bayonets gleaming, the
general program was to advance and
capture Centralia, then Tacoma and
Seattle, while the Oregon landing
force was to absorb Astoria and
Portland. Providing they were suc
cessful, the Japanese were to ad
vance to the Bitterroot and Rocky
mountains, while additional troops
were to land in the northwest and
capture San Francisco.
This sounds fantastic, but it is the
Japanese strategy which has been
read and studied by hundreds of
army officers. Of course, the plan

depended upon the Japanese break
ing through the Pacific fleet and an
American force smaller than the
landing force. This year war and
navy departments have been build
ing defense against just such an en
emy operation and invaders would
be met by a reception committee
with aircraft, tanks, artillery and
anti-aircraft guns on shore and the
man" scores of patrol boats which
are to be based at ports along the
northwest coast.
With a war of its own on its hands,
the United States is slowing down
on the shipping of war materials to
the British and is retaining enough
of each month's producton to equip
American troops. Planes which were
intended for the British are now
going to Pearl Harbor as fast as they
can be delivered to replace those de
stroyed in the surprise attack.
There will be announced com
plete revision of production plans.
Office of production management
and SPAB have agreed the current
production must be doubled, at
least. This will require 24-hour
work in many factories and expan
sion of existing plants and the build
ing of new ones. America's man
power will be registered; those fit
for the strenuous life of the army
or navy will be put in uniform;
those unfit by reason of age or other
cause will form a pool from which
will be drawn workers in munition
plants. Women will not be over
looked; later there will be a law, as
in England, requiring unmarried
women between specified ages to
register for war work and this work
may be industry, where deftness is
essential, driving trucks, servicing
barrage balloons or listening posts.
Thousands of nurses are required
now and more will be later. Almost
any young woman who would like
to serve as a nurse can have her
ambition fulfilled.
Congress has been asked to vote
an appropriation to provide gas
masks for the civilian population of
the northwest. These masks will be
distributed free" to everyone from
Astoria to 200 miles inland. When
the people on the west coast have
been provided for those on the gulf
and Atlantic coasts will be supplied.
Plans for evacuation of women and
children from towns on the west
coast are proceeding and some meet
ings have been held. Presumably
these refugees will be removed to
somewhere in the Cascade moun
tains, or east of that range of dead
volcanoes.
The attack on Pearl Harbor has
convinced the high command that
the Japanese may try anything;
hence the attention now being given
to the Pacific northwest. The Jap
anese strategy for invasion depend
ed on being able to get through the
Pacific fleet. Having crippled the
Pacific fleet materially, there is a
possibility of the enemy attempting
an invasion before repairs and re
placements can be made. In short,
the Japanese are not being trusted
and it is Recognized by everyone
from the nresident down that this
is to be a long, hard fought war
and a costly one. Census reports
there are 4,071 Japanese in Oregon
and 14,565 in Washington. In Ore
gon all are native-born Americans
except 1,617 and in Washington all
are native-born Americans except
5,683. Most of the native born are
children of school age or less.
Soils Short- Course
Emphasizes War Work
With Oregon farmers planning to
bend every effort toward increasing
production of vital foods next year
with a minimum labor requirement,
most efficient handling of the soil is
a fundamental problem, says Dr. W.
L. Powers, head of the soils depart
ment, in announcing the annual soils
short course to be held from Thurs
day through Saturday, January 29
to 31, at Oregon State colleee.
Special consideration will be giv
en to handling pastures and in ap
plying irrigation for maximum pro
duction of food crops. The general
division of the program shows soil
classification, soil suivey, and land
use to be considered the first day.
Reclamation, improvement of pas
tures, and small seed production are
included on the second day's pro
gram. Fertilizing food crops for de
fense will be the general theme for
the third and final day. ,
All sessions will be open to the
public without charge and will be
held in the Memorial Union building
on the campus. Agricultural load
ers of the state and some represent
atives of the U. S. department of
agriculture will join the college staff
in taking part in the program, or
leading round table discussions.
