Its War to
So it's war, a SHOOTING war! a war to the
death!
And instead of in the Atlantic, it's the Pacific,
a sudden air bombing attack on Manila and Honolulu
by Japan.
It was a poker game all right. But Japan wasn't
bluffing. If Uncle Sam was bluffing, he has been
called.
So the fat is in the fire for keeps, not only war
but probably a long one, and a costly one both in lives
and treasure.
TO the country at large this sudden attack came like
a bolt from the blue, should it now prove to be
another Orson Welles broadcast, that mythical in
vasion from Mars, we doubt if the rank and file
would be greatly surprised.
For this is unbelievable, incredible, such a thing
just couldn't happen. War might come EVENTU
ALLY, but an air attack by Japan on Pearl Harbor,
according to all reports that couldn't be done, it just
wasn't" in the cards.
"NLY a week ago, the present writer was in Wash-
ington, talking with a certain high official in the
government and the question of war with Japan came
up.
Not only did that official doubt that Japan would
ever allow war with this country to come about, but
he declared most emphatically, that Japan could
never bomb Honolulu, except via airplane darner,
and a Japanese earner couldn't live for 60 minutes
within gun range of Hawaii.
He also declared, and his statement presum
ably was based upon the best American military and
naval authority, that Japan far from being a first
rate naval power, was second or third, her gunnery
poor, her air force pathetically weak, while her island
was so vulnerable to sea and air attack, that Britain
and the United States could blow her out of the water
within six weeks.
WE don't maintain, that view was the official army,
navy or even administration view, but we do
know this :
For the past few years we have been in Wash
ington frequently, have talked with navy and army
officials, and have heard the Pacific problem dis
cussed several times by President Roosevelt in his
press conferences, and from these discussions, we
gained a very similar impression namely:
That the weakness of the Japanese airfleet and
the distance of Japanese air bases, made any air at
tack on Hawaii practically out of the question, while
the island was so far from Japanese sea bases, that
the Nippon fleet would never dare come within shoot
ing distance of Honolulu, as long as the American and
British fleets were intact.
CO it is difficult for us to believe the report from
Washington that this attack on Honolulu was ex
pected, and had been expected for a week.
We do not doubt, the fleet and the army in Ha
waii, were PREPARED for an undeclared war by
Japan, that has been the Japanese technique for
two generations, and it would be the obvious duty
of both general staffs to be ready for such an eventu
ality and such an attack, but,
We can hardly believe that the attack from the
air coming as it did, when it did, did not have for
the general staffs as well as for the people of the coun
try, the element of surprise, and a shocking one.

'THE reports of the situation, as this is written, are
too meagre and fragmentary, to justify any con
clusions, one way or the other, as to just how the first
conflict between this country and the yellow race is
going.
There is, however, no doubt whatever, as far as
this department is concerned as to the ultimate out
come. We have no doubt the war will be a long one,
probably far longer than most American experts pre
dict, but as we see it, Japan CAN'T win, she simply
hasn't got what it takes.
Meanwhile as the shooting war BEGINS, we wel
come with relief and rejoicing the END of certain re
gretable phenommena in our daily life, namely :
The end of Lindbergh speeches.
The end of Messrs. Wheeler, Nye, Clark, et al.
The end of "America First."
The end of make-believe, pretense and hypo
crisy. The end of having one foot in the war and the
other out.
The end of national confusion and disunity.
The beginning of national harmony, solidarity
and a firm, uncompromising concentration upon OFFENSE!

INJURY Or KM
Loose cartilage in the knee
joint, painful locking of knee
joint, weakness following a
strain or sprain of the knee,
these are gen
erally one and
the same thing,
namely. Injury,
tear or dislo
cation of the
semilunar car
tilage, which is
a sort of cush
ion or bearing
between the
head of the
femur or thigh
bone and the
joint surface of
the tibia or larger leg bone.
Common cause of the injury
is a blow on the cuter side
of the knee. Another common
causa Is a movement in which
the femur or thigh is fixed and
the leg Is rotated. Sometimes
so slight a cause of such torsion
as turning over In bed Injures;
the cartilage.
In some cases of Injury the
cartilage dislocated. In some
cases there is only a tear of a
ligament. In most cases both
tear or dislocation of the car
tilage and tear of a ligament
occur. In a few cases there is
a chip or slice fracture of the
cartilage.
Carriage torn or fractured
cannot possibly heal by forma
tion of new cartilage, as bone
heals by callus (new bone for
mation). But torn or fractured
cartilage does heal all right in
about one-third of the cases by
formation of fibrous (scar) tis
sue, and the knee gives little or
no trouble afterward. In more
than half the cases in a series
studied by Drs. Cravener and
MacElroy (J. A. M. A. Nov. 15,
1941) complete recovery fol
lowed fixation of the knee by
plaster cast for six weeks. Be
fore the cast is applied the tear,
or fracture or dislocation of the
cartilage must be reduced by
manipulation of the knee with
the patient completely anesthe
tized. Nitrous oxide (laughing gas)
and oxygen Is ideal for this
purpose.
In the last two weeks o fixa
tion by cast the great thigh
muscle (quadriceps) is regularly
exercised to prevent wasting
and weakening, and exercises
are gradually increased after
removal of the cast.
Now the patient is either
cured or not cured. If not
cured, he or she will probably
have recurring attacks of dislo
cation of the cartilage, extreme
ly painful, with or without lock
ing of the knee. If two such

But Colonel
Bill Donovan, head of T. D. R.'s

different languages and short
waved all over Europe, Asia

NO government authority ex

very angry. Others apparently
had the notion the news would
be most gratifying to Britain
and least gratifying to Hitler.
Their tone encouraged a suspi
cion that the document may
have been left lying around
loose in a certain spot as a "trial
balloon," designed to prepare
public opinion cautiously on the
subject of an A. E. T.
tt Is an irrefutable fact Mr.

The age of 29 years seems
to be the average age In most
cases of injury of knee carti

knee pain, instability, swelling,
pain on rotation of bent knee,
tenderness over Joint, limitation

THE Jap threat to go into
Thailand failed to arouse
highly authoritative shudders
here from the beginning of the
Kurusu-Roosevelt conversations.
Mr. Roosevelt's military men
saw the venture as a hazardous
undertaking from the Tokyo
standpoint and could not be
lieve the Japs would be foolish
enough to try it or would win
if they did.
To sustain such an invasion,
the Japs would have to main
tain a ship supply line past the
British stronghold at Hongkong
and near a substantial concen
tration of American bombers at
the Philippine island of Luzon.
The only ultimate objective
of the Invasion was to bring the
Japs closer to the Burma road,
but they have long been within
bombing range in Indo-China.
For some publicly unexplained
reason, however, they have not
taken full advantage of their
position. The truth was they
have been short of gasoline and
have been trying to accumulate
enough to make their Indo
China position worth while.
Land action would be focused
upon two Thailand points. One
column would move from Hanoi
up the river straight - for the
Burma road. The other would
drive toward Bangkok from Sai
gon. The southern drive would
bring the Japs within range of
British bombers from Singapore.
e e
THAILAND has 80.000 regu-
lars and S0O.O0O reserves,
ill-equipped by even Japanese
standards, and could not hold
long. But If Thailand gave the
British lend-lease rights to the
Bangkok airfield, the Japs
would meet chesty opposition.
The northern drive might get
close enough to hang a Japanese
lantern on the Burma road, and
poesibly even cut that line, but

One Agreement
Br JohaW. Kelly,
Washington, D. C, Dec. 8.
In less than U months congress
men from the Pacific northwest
will know how their constituents
feel toward the administration's
domestic and foreign policy.
There is already discussion of
this subject by the representa
tives of Washington and Oregon
for, with a single exception, all
are expecting to submit their
names In the primaries. The ex
ception is Charles Leavy, repre
senting the Spokane district,
who has been nominated and Is
awaiting confirmation by the
senate for federal judge.
What will govern public senti
ment, according to the congress
men, is the matter of taxes.
Some think the new deal will
tax itself out of office; that
voters will resent the heavy
levies and will display their re
sentment at the first opportunity
the 1942 primaries and elec
tion. Full impact of the Income
taxes will not be realized by the
average citizen until March 15.
In Oregon the primaries will be
two months later; In Washington
next summer; when the taxes
will be worse than in March.
Immediately after the new year
the ways and means committee
will take up plans for a new tax
measure, applying to 1943 in
comes. President Roosevelt
wishes the committee to whip
the new bill into shape, have it
passed and start the new year
with a whale of a tax. This he
has discussed with committee
men, who have been hanging
back because they wished to
learn the reaction to the 1941
taxes. ,
e
IN addition to the tax to be
paid next March, congressmen
are wondering what northwest
constituents will think of the
various government restrictions
Imposed by federal agencies.
The lumber business, normally
the largest in that region, is flat
on its back because of a "cell
ing" on dwellings and office
buildings and this has resulted
In idleness in many sawmill
communities. Ships have been
taken away by the maritime
commission, thereby dislocating
the shipping business from long
shoreman to farmers. The hard
ware stores can not buy new
stocks; the several hundred
metal-working plants are on
their last legs because they can
not obtain subcontracts of de
fense order. Automobile deal
ers, financing companies, deal
ers in washing machines and
vacuum cleaners are being in
jured by curtailment of supplies;
credit is being held to a mini
mum. Women must pay more
for beauty treatments, for cos
metics and things for the home.
All these are items affecting
personally thousands of residents
of the northwest and the- re
sentment will be reflected at
the polls. It Is recognized that
national defense and the billions
for lend-lease ran only be paid
by taxes, but on top of these in'
come taxes the administration is
seeking ways to take money
from the people, having the boss
take it out of the pay envelope
as compulsory savings; take
more away by Increasing the
payroll taxes for old age assist
ance and unemployment compen
sation. IN the northwest scores of
men over 6S years of age who
have been living on Social Se
curity benefits are withdrawing
from the pension roll and re
turning to industry. In the na
tion as a whole J5.000 such cases
are reported. There are 179.000
men over 8S on the pension roll.
Shortage of skilled workers In
certain lines, such as shipbuild
ing, is tempt.ng these oldsters
back to work where wages are

more attractive than the few

Certain industries which have
an age limit (40 years, regard
less of the position or how long
men have worked for the com
pany) have been forced to revise
this practice. The 18 to 30 group
is wanted by airplane factories,
the navy, the army, the CCC and
NY A, the shipyards, the muni
tions plants. There are not
enough of the 18 to 30 group to
go around and industry has had
to take older men.
e o a
LABOR unions CIO and
AFL have responded to the re
quest of their head men, Murray
and Green, to send notices to
senators and representatives of
the northwest that they are op
posed to any restrictive legisla
tion, such as was on the. board
last week. It is one matter in
which the rival organizations are
cooperating and on this subject
the hatchet is, for the present,
buried. The sentiment of the
country is such, however, that
congress will enact some kind of
restrictive legislation, particular
ly a "cooling off" period before
there can be a strike in a de
fense plant.
In senate end house office
buildings and in the corridors
groups of labor lobbyists have
been buttonholing legislators and
telling them In no uncertain
terms what labor does not want.
They leave the member with
the information that an election
is coming next year and that
labor will remember those who
vote for restrictions. These tac
tics were successful once before,
when CIO boasted, in its publi
cation, that the organization had
defeated unfriendly legislation.

He never cared to roam
And I know he's wishing right
today
That he was safe at home,
He thought the world of his
dear old dad
As he was always such a pal
And he thought a lot of all us
kids.
And his sweet mother was his
gal.
We miss him at home an awful
lot
He helped make our home so
gay
And I know the dear Lord In
Heaven
Will send him back some day.
