FACE EIGHT
Japan's Desire to Continue Talks
May Be Play for Time to Guess'
Who's Going to Win in Europe
By D.Witt
Wide World
Japan'f decision to continue
Statu came as the breath of w
elflc, but it Isn't surprising since
Tokyo is anxious to evade con
This decision Is, of course, im
pelled by necessity. It may even
be that It is calculated to give
the Japanese more time to try to
make up their minds who is
going to win the European war.
One of Japan's greatest prob
lems has been to guess the out
come of the conflict correctly.
If she crosses swords with Amer
ica,, and Britain, and Germany
loses, it will be just too bad for
the land of the rising sun. It
might be just too bad anyway,
but that is a hazard of another
sort.
This being so, it Is quite pos
sible that the reverses suffered
by the Germans in these last
critical hours of the Japanese
cabinet's debate may have had
much to do with the decision to
continue negotiations with
Washington. Had Hitler's forces
wept on into Moscow, or
knocked the allies out in Libya,
we might have had a different
story from Japan.
They call the Nazi chieftain
"Lucky Hitler" In Germany be
cause of the uncanny frequency
of his successes, but the past
week-end very definitely has
been one of his off-times. This is
by way of reporting that the
allies have struck some power
ful blows of great potential im
portance. The fuehrer has had a tre
mendous setback in the sensa
tional feat of the red army not
only in forcing the Nazis out of
Rostov the hinge on which
swings the gate to the Caucasus
but in hurling back the invad
ers to the west along the Black
sea coast. Indeed, if the Bolshe
vists can hold the advantage
they have achieved it will have
vital bearing not only on the
outcome of the war but on its
duration.
Here it is necessary to repeat
what has been said in this col
umn before to the effect that
Hitler's resources aren't likely
to stand the strain unless he can
tap new supplies. Either he must
knock Russia cold as he did
France, or he must escape the
Increasingly chaotic conditions
on the blockaded European con
tinent by breaking into the
Caucasus and the middle east.
Now the greatest blow Hitler
has had In his efforts to reach
this land of milk and honey is
the red victory at Rostov and
westward.

92 Per Cent Complete.
By AI Quiring
Hermiston, Ore., Dec. .1 (IP)
soaring 130 feet skyward on
sturdy steel legs, vividly painted
with red and white checks and
gayly bedecked with aeronautic
al obstruction lights, the 130,000
gallon water tank of the Uma
tilla ordnance depot has be
come a new outstanding eastern
Oregon landmark.
West-bound travelers along
transcontinental highway No. 30
first sight it as they top Rieth
ridge near Pendleton, more than
30 miles to the east, and it re
mains their marker until they
dip into the Columbia river
basin route west of Umatilla.
Big Change Noted
Nor is the water tower the
only change in the eastern Ore
gon landscape contributed by
the $13,000,000 depot. Near its
base are half a dozen brick and
tile permanent buildings; out
side the administration area
there are a dozen steel and brick
powder magazines and, sprawl
ed over 24 square miles of sur
rounding desert, are 1,000 con
crete and steel igloos, blending
harmoniously with the sand and
sage brush in which they are
studded.
The igloos are not visible
when the traveler first sights
the vivid tower, but, as he
swings nearer, topping each
rolling hill, they enter his con
sciousness. At first they appear
as tiny beehives, dotting the
desert; a tew hill tops later they
seem to become sand dunes, and,
finally, he is aware of them as
a tremendous monument to
American preparedness.
