Member O reg foQNEWsP PER IE RS 4SS0-Ç I AT 10N Do Not Forget That It Is A Long, Long War The War Production Board has urged the conser vation of power and the uses of water on the Pacific Coast for war purposes when activities of the war are transferred to this coast. From frequent reports by radio and in newspapers, this western coast will become the center of activities as soon as the Europ ean struggle is over and the attention of the allies will be devoted to the defeat of Japan. The greater movements on the Atlantic seaboard will be added to the present activities on the Pacific seaboard and then we will begin to know what real war movements are. All our war plants and bases will be filled to capacity and transportation lines of all kinds will be loaded to the limits—railroads, trucks and planes— and ports will be crowded with ships. The claim that Japan would soon be defeated af ter the European struggle was settled is no longer maintained by war leaders. While the war in the northern, central and south Pacific has been success ful and we are making great progress, the great mainland of eastern Asia has been strengthened by the Nipponese from Japan to Singapore. By the enslavement of millions of peoples and the aid of the great resources of those lands and islands, the Japanese have built up great defenses. Partic ularly in Japan, Northern China, Manchuria and in Korea they have tremendous batteries and anti-air craft equipment, and have even prepared bomb proof shelters for vast numbers of their own population outside the limits of their industrial centers. For two years they have been shipping in supplies of food and war materials to this northern last stand, which they hope to become impregnable. Their defenses in the island regions are sufficient to prevent us from their main effort and they are avoiding a fatal con flict with our Navy—and fighting to the death of the last man. These facts are becoming more and more appar ent from all information that can be gathered : We led ourselves to believe that Europe would be finished by last Christmas. Now we are hoping that Germany will be conquered by summer or at least by next fall. We have thirteen million men in arms and have created a great war machine and yet the call is for more and more. We can now scarcely hope for less than two years more to destroy the powerful military power and war machine of Japan. We Am ericans cannot relax our efforts for a day or season or year or more. We have a big job to do. Here in the west we will know more of war than we ever dreamed of before the final unconditional surrender of both Germany and Japan and the peace is estab lished. r Ry Mr».
