Christmas!
There have been ironical Christmasses before, but
none quite bo much so, as the Yuletide to be cele
brated tomorrow.
Think of it!
Not only the Christian world, not only the white
race, but the ENTIRE world, from pole to pole and
every square mile of its circumference, with every
race, white, black, brown and yellow, all engaged
in an incredibly cruel, bitter and relentless fight of
wholesale destruction, literally a fight to the finish,
a fight to the death.
AXHEN one comes to think of it, the spectacle
' simply paralyzes the imagination, leaves the
most case-hardened human observer, gasping and
mute, how could it EVER have happened, how in
the name of reason and common sense, could it ever
have been allowed to come about.
And as the murderous, inhuman slaughter con
tinues, the civilians of the Christian world pause for
a moment, to commemorate the birth of their Saviour,
in the name of their abiding faith in the sanctity of
human brotherhood, and in the spirit of:
PEACE ON EARTH, GOOD WILL TOWARD
MEN I
AND WHY all this?
" WHY, on one hand, a renewal of our faith in
peace, good will, humility, kindliness, and,
On the other, the denial of every fundamental
principle of that faith a mad rush to join in the dance
of universal destruction and death?
The cause, at least the only cause most of us
poor benighted humans can see, deprives the gory,
inhuman spectacle of even a tragic dignity.
Just a small group of evil, selfish, ruthless men
headed by an ex-paper hanger, with a Napoleonic
complex, setting out to crush the civilized world so
they may rule it!
F VERYONE knows it can't be done.
Just as everyone knows, that in this modern
world, trying to settle ANYTHING by war, is utter
and suicidal madness.
Yet the dance of death goes on, and on, and
on, to a conclusion no human mind can even picture.
Some modem Dante is needed to do -justice to
this subject. We confess our inability to do it!
Be Prepared
"Hope for the best, but be prepared for the worst"
As the latest war news comes in from the Far East,
we feel it only wise, as well as prudent, for the people
of this country to be prepared for a shock.
It may never come.
Here is hoping it doesn't But "we the people"
should realize that ever since Japan attacked Hono
lulu, there has not only been one censorship on war
news, but two.
The censorship at the source, and the censorship
after the information reaches the United States.
And while we may be mistaken, that is always
possible, there are strong indications, recognizable
to any newspaper man who has closely followed re
ports since this war began, that things are not going
as well in the t ar bast, particularly in the Philippines, ;
as one might wish, or as the brief war communiques j
from Washington, would suggest
There is, we are sure, no cause for immediate
alarm. Nor for discouragement As President Roose-,
velt warned at the outset, because of the treacherous
and unexpected nature of the Japanese attack, certain
initial set-backs must be expected, before the over
whelming force of the U. S. army and navy can take
effect
I IKE Germany, at the outset of the war, Japan it is
" now apparent had been secretly preparing for
war against the United States, for four or five years
at least, and therefore
marked advantage at the
But also like Germany, Nippon can t fail as time
goes on to grow steadily WEAKER as this country
grows steadily STRONGER, so of the FINAL result
there can be no doubt
But meanwhile, initial reverses can scarcely be
avoided. With the people of this country, morally
prepared for them, however their injurious effect will
have the MINIMUM, rather than the MAXIMUM
result
So throw away those rose-colored glasses if you
are using them, and select a pair fitted for the sun
light and the fact
Beware the Holiday Attack
Another warning is is order, though the powers
that be after that Sunday morning attack on Hawaii,
can hardly be in need of it
That warning is, be particularly on the alert
Christmas and New Year's eves and nights.
The Axis regarding all Christian traditions and
moral decencies as evidences of decadence, is dis
posed to take advantage of a different ideology in
the allied camps.
So as there was reason to expect the Japanese
surprise attack on a Sunday morning, there is reason
to expe.t similar action tomorrow and a week hence.
Nothing may happen of course. But it would be
inexcuseable, not to be prepared for it

BO YOU'RE GOIKG
Although the reducing craze
of tha early thirties has prac
tically died out many a wist
ful carrier of
slacker flesh
still apologizes
for overeating
by aver ring
that he or she
is "going on
diet" next
week.
The more
publicized re
ducing diets
which attained
popularity dur
ing the craze
were unscientific In design and
pathological in effect, if victims
adhered to them long enough
to achieve any noticeable loss
of weight. With the loss of
weight there was usually more
or less impairment of health,
lowering of vitality, resiliency,
reserve power, natural Immun
ity or "resistance," as the old
timers called It. In a good many
instances, particularly In young
women who were not over
weight in the first place, this
impairment of health by nutri
tional deficiency permitted the
lighting up of the latent tuber
culosis which most of us have
in youth and early adult life,
into active tuberculosis.
So the serious objections to
the freak reducing diets which
Tom, Dick and Harriette pro
moted while the craze was on
may be summed up ' under
three headings. First, they per
suaded or ' encouraged many
foolish ones to attempt to reduce
when in fact they were not
overweight. Second, they in
duced or aggravated malnutri
tion or nutritional deficiency
disease. Third, they robbed the
victim of any claims she might
have had to good looks for
somehow as the superfluous or
even the normal fat melted
away there presently appeared
numerous lines, wrinkles, sags
that were hard to camouflage
even with lavish use of cos
metics. The common notion of malnu
trition is starvation, not enough
to eat That is not the medical
sense at all. In most instances
malnutrition spells unbalanced
diet, insufficient Intake of min
erals and vitamins in propor
tion to the intake of protein,
fat and carbohydrate.
When you consider that the
readily available foods from
which the average person today
derives 55 percent of his daily
calories (wheat flour and su
gar) have been robbed of their

most Americans, even the well-to-do,
get insufficient vitamins

that sharp restriction of the diet

is likely to cause manifestations
of deficiency disease.
The statement that "most

adding certain vitamins and

On New Air Bates

For Navy Building
- By Joha W. rally
Washington, D. C. Dec.
Aside from Walla Walla, the
army corps offers small hope
for additional aerial defense of
the Pacific northwest There
may be other sites selected In
the region, but little encourage
ment is given. Colonel Kimball
(born in Portland), who has
charge of the business, is quite
hardboiled about it. Having
been born In Oregon and know
ing the northwest, and being a
strategist, there isn't much a
layman can tell him that he
doesn't already know, as the
congressional delegations have
discovered.
Rumors of new aviation
groups at Yakima, Salem, Klam
ath, Medford, remain in that
category despite the hopes held
out to the several communities.
Walla Walla is about 40 miles
from Pendleton, where there Is
an army air corps operation.
The distance can be covered In
10 or 15 minutes In a pursuit
plane. In less than 30 minutes
flying time is Spokane, where
GHQ of the northwest flying
force is located. There Is no
complaint at the new group be
ing spotted at Walla Walla, but
other communities feel that it
is too near Pendleton unless the
air corps plans installing many
other groups in both Oregon
and Washington.
Being laymen, all the con
gressmen could do was call at
tention to the government-owned
dams at Grand Coulee and
Bonneville (and the colonel
knew all about them) and show
the paralyzing effect on national
defense that would follow an
aerial raid should a bomb put
out of commission a single gen
erator. The entire aluminum
production, from Tacoma to
Spokane and from Longvlew
and Vancouver to Troutdale,
would be stopped if anything
happened to those power plants.
Klamath Falls (there is only
one Japanese in that industrial
community, and he is a nisei,
or native-born), it was admit
ted, had been considered but
army pilots are afraid of the
flights of wildfowl and the an
nual flight of the massive white
pelicans. Army Tiers are scared
of a wild goose getting tangled
in the whirling propellor and
bending a blade. Such Is the
handicap of, Klamath Falls.
About Medford the colonel said
nothing. Salem is regarded as
too near Portland (50 miles, a
trifle more than the distance
between Walla Walla and Pen
dleton). a
FISHERMEN, the sporting
kind who participate in the sal
mon derby or who whip the
lakes and streams of the north
west for trout, will find the war
in their lap the next time they
wish to renew their supply of
tackle. The largest manufac
turer of flies, hooks and rods In
the United States has just left
the national capital disgusted:
he could not obtain a pound
of special steel wire, aluminum,
coopper wire or brass. All these
metals are used by the sports
men, minute particles for var
ious parts of the tackle, such
as creels, spinners, etc.
The manufacturer Is peeved.
Last year the United States sent
tons of steel to Britain and some
of this is coming back in the
channels of trade as finished
goods. Latest figure is that
$107,000 worth of fishhooks was
shipped in from England for
American sportsmen, while
American manufacturers cannot
obtain enough wire for a single
hook. The British Importation
represents millions of fishhooks.
Largest import from England
prior to this was $50,000.

agement has been seriously con

,with the army, which opposes
a transfer, declaring it Is safer

; to place the Industry on the

inow a tempting objective for
Japanese air raiders. If the

the original plans. Los Angeles

i A HIGH naval official told a

three years before the United
States will have built up an

delay In making preparations,
he explained, is the result of
giving so much equipment to
the allies that the United States
forces have been neglected. By
1944, however, he said that this
country will be prepared, or
early in 1945. The committee
men were interested; wanted to

officer has received orders to
