HAPPY NEW YEARS TO VOUI Only One Resolution Only those Americans who were living in the Civil War period have ever experienced a New Year's Eve like this one. There have been two wars since then, the Span ish and World War No. I, but neither one really endangered this country, or even came near it . THE Spanish war was over, almost before it started, with a smashing victory on land and sea, for the superior U. S. forces. The World War ended, only a few months after we became actively engaged, along the western front, with a similar triumph. Compared with this war, the two previous conflicts were little more than breathers. Uncle Sam has in short escaped an all-out test of strength for eighty years. LIAS the old boy gone soft? "We the people" know he hasn't But it is now quite clear, it took him too long, FAR too long, to wake up to the dangers threatening him. And when war finally broke he got off to a bad start, a very bad one. IN short, thid is the first New Year's within the mem 1 ory of 99of the American people, when their country has been in real danger, engaged up to the hilt in a fight to the finish, a struggle that must be, and WILL be won ; but one which is going to demand sacrifices in blood nd treasure, unapproached in the history of this nation, and we fear, undreamed of, in the imagination of most of us. Can we "take" it? "We the people" KNOW we can. But it is to be no naval parade as it was in '98: and no mopping up exercise, as was the case, a couple of decades later. This is a fight to the FINISH, with a war on two fronts, against two of the most powerful, ruthless and crafty nations, the world has ever seen, and who up to the present writing, have had all the best of it. AS a result the various and sundry activities that have marked New Year's celebrations in the past, appear completely out of place and inexcusably triv ial, at this one. Not that we should all don hair-shirts tonight, and wallow in wormwood and ashes. But beneath the hilarity and exuberance, which properly marks the end of the old year and the start of the new, there should be, and undoubtedly will be, a sober ap preciation of the fact, that an epoch in the history of this country, and the world has ENDED, and a new one, and a completely DIFFERENT one NOW begins 1 This is to be no brief excursion in the realm of force. This is all-out war, a supreme and final test as to whether this country and all it stands for is to survive or perish. AS was stated in this column over a year ago, unless we the people ARE willing, if need be to DIE for democracy, we won't be able long to LIVE in it There is no turning back now. Here is the test, this country and all freedom-loving, right-thinking peoples, face. Confronting such a crisis how all our petty New Year resolutions of the past fade into vacuity and nothingness ! THERE is only ONE resolution this New Year's Eve, the resolution to go into this fight with every resource at our command, be ready all of us for any sacrifice, ultimate victory may demand, and never quit, until the foes that have set out deliberate ly to destroy this country, and all its stands for, are CRUSHED 1 Its Up to Russia As the war is now developing, Russia really holds the key to victory, at least a reasonably quick one, ns the skipper of this department views it If Comrade Stalin is as whole-hearted in his sup port of the allied cause, as reports from Moscow, and London, maintain; and if his continued suc cesses over the Nazis along the eastern front, are as decisive and indicative of superior Russian strength as he claims them to be, THEN, There is no further excuse for Stalin to withhold the Siberian coast from IMMEDIATE construction of allied air bases, and with such air bases and probably only with them, can Japan be effectively attacked in her most vulnerable point, from the air on Nippon's large metropolitan and industrial dis tricts. IXOULDN'T such an attack result in the collapse of Japan, more quickly and completely than uttack from any other conceivable source? And if Red array strength is what the Kremlin says it is, with nearly a million well-armed and well equipped troops permanently stationed in Siberia, how could hard-pressed Japan effectively retaliate? We claim no expert knowledge on the subject, of course, but we doubt if such is needed to make the fact quite plain, that allied progress in the war against Nippon depends, almost entirely upon what Russia does do, or DOESN'T!

Address Dr. William Brady. 265 El Caralno, Beverly Hills, Calif. THE SUGAR A familiar and, plausible as sertion of nutrition quacks and food specialists or self-constitut ed diet author ities is that It is wrong to combine carbo hydrate (sugar or starch) with protein. Some of them imply that a reaction between these different kinds of food mater ial In the stom ach produces 1 n ) u rious or even poisonous effects. Yet many of the most essential na tural foods of man contain pro tein and carbohydrate, such as peas, beans, wheat, oats, potato, milk, cheese. The carbohydrate In milk and cheese is milk sugar, lactose. In a quart of milk there is approxi mately 1V4 ounces (three round ed tablespoonfuls) of this sugar. Woman's milk contains a larger proportion of milk sugar than cow's milk, approximately two ounces in the quart. In modify, lng cow's milk for an infant, therefore. It Is a common prac tice to add some milk sugar or other sugar. Milk sugar (lactose) Is less sweet and less soluble than su crose (beet or cane sugar). On the assumption that milk sugar is less subject to fermentation In stomach or Intestine than other sugars it was formerly preferred to other sugars for modifying milk for infants, but today, there Is no advantage in using fancy sugars for this purpose in actual practice infants thrive as well If their milk Is sweet ened with beet or cane sugar, corn syrup or glucose as they do if a more expensive kind of sugar is used. By the fermentation of the lactose or sugar in milk lactic acid is produced. This is the nor mal process of souring of milk. It is due to the action of bac teria always present in milk, called lactic bacilli. Warmth favors the multiplication of lac tic bacilli and hastens souring of milk; cold retards growth of the bacteria and souring. Par boiling, as In the process called pasteurizing (heating the milk to 145 degrees F. for half an hour) destroys some of the lactic bacilli but not all; hence pas teurized milk sours slowly. The action of the lactic bacilli continues in the alimentary tract as long as there is lactose News Behind The News By Paul Mallon (Contlnuad Prom Page Ona) be done with the fleet If Leahy left Vichy. Mr. Roosevelt, apparently, thought Leahy even more valu able as a military leader. At the very least he will be head of some top military strategy board, or will have one of the coordinated new allied com mands. a SOME folks are grumbling that Churchill talked Roose velt into forgetting about the Japs and concentrating on Hit ler. That idea is axis grease. The broader view of this war, the world view, clearly shows Hitler Is the formidable foe. If he is defeated, anyone can brush the Japs over with the back of their hand. They may conquer the Far East down to Australia (no Information here suggests they want that contin ent) but they cannot dominate the world. They cannot Invade this hemisphere as long as our fleet Is above water, and alert. It is true their characteristic sneaky viciousness. demon strated at Manila and Pearl harbor, has made them the most hated foe. Even some high of ficials here are crying out for J air bases at Vladivostok, so our bombers can avenge Manila among the crackerbox wooden shacks of the Japanese Indus trial centers. That will no doubt be done in turn, but It is only wise to understand the Red viewpoint. If they can take Hit ler, they can get Japan any time. They do not wish to be distracted, from their main en-1 terprise. j C VENTS seem to have made. our decision. Our air de ficiency In the Far East permit ted early Jap successes. To re trieve ground lost there will re quire a long time. Meanwhile, alert defenses on our side of the Pacific should make an at tack on us as difficult for the m 'W Bradr. M. D. IN MILK (or other sugars or starches) for the bacilli to ferment, and the lactic acid produced In the intes tine favors a healthy condition, keeps the environment unfavor able for the growth of disease germs or putrefactive bacteriar. While the carbohydrate (lactose, milk sugar) in milk Is probably the best medium or pabulum to promote and maintain a vigor ous and healthy preponderance of lactic bacilli In the intestine, it is well to remember that other carbohydrate materials, notably raw starch, may serve the pur pose nearly if not quite as well as lactose does. For this reason it is generally healthful to eat some raw or only slightly cook ed starch every day raw pota to, plain wheat, oatmeal raw or slightly cooked, raw cornstarch, raw vegetables whatever you like. One reason why I personally prefer grade A raw milk from tuberculin tested and Bang test ed cows to par-boiled or pasteur ized milk is because I like to maintain a healthy growth of lactic bacilli, and I believe drinking pure raw milk does this more effectively than any means one can use for that pur pose.

Destruction of Vitamins Lecturer from state department said If one wished to destroy all the vitamins In food cooking In pressure cooker would certainly do It. Now we hava used a pressure cooker.

Japs as It would be for us now to attack the Jap mainland. The bigger, If slightly less loathsome foe. Hitler, has been put on the run by the Reds and British. By next fall, perhaps much sooner, an allied expedi tionary force up through Italy is certainly called for. Even if the Reds are driven back in the spring, the hope of victory will be in the air there. The defense of this country comes first, then Hitler, then the Japs. a PLAMING anger against the Japs has brought friendship to the sharp enemies of the American maritime unions. It would have done your heart good to see Harry Lundeberg of the Pacific Sailors Union and his enemy, Frederick Myers of the Maritime union go off, arm In arm, for a drink after the first meeting of the new mari time war emergency board. These two competitive union leaders had never spoken to one another before. Apparently M r. Roosevelt forgot to announce the appoint ment of the board, although It has been functioning two weeks. It is composed of U. S. Labor Conciliation Chief John R. Steelman, Edward Macauley of the maritime commission and Frank Graham, president of North Carolina university. It is the only board to make decisions the first day of its op eration (about seamen's bonuses and zones). It Is likewise the first Industry-wide council to reach a wartime cooperation basis for the duration. British, Chinese Officers Escape Chungking. China, Dec. 28.

Kelly's Comment From Washington Northwest Urges Armed Protection Anti-Aircraft Guns Scarce Plywood Planes May Be Tried r Br Jena W Kelly Washington, D. C, Dec. 31 Requests were coming by long distance telephone, by wire and by air mail from the Pacific northwest Insisting that anti aircraft guns and bombers be jsent Immediately. Mayors, civic ; bodies, individuals all are bear I ing down on senators and cong ressmen In addition to sending their plea to war and navy de partments. From Walport to Ab i erdeen .and al! points between j coast communities want anti aircraft guns. Mayor of one small village telephoned for I four anti-aircraft guns and six ; bombing planes to guard against I enemy fliers and submarines. There are not In the United States at this date enough anti aircraft guns to protect the na tional capital, to say nothing of Seattle, Portland, Spokane or Salem. Four of these guns have been dug up for Washington, D. C, two being on the roof of the department of commerce building; two on the roof of the senate office building. Anti aircraft guns Is one of the items that has been shipped to Eng land, where there has been wholesale aerial bombing. It will be approximately a year be fore the towns of the northwest are suitably supplied with this war machine. As the guns are built they first will be shipped to the Pacific and Atlantic coasts before interior places such as Chicago and Buffalo are equipped. e a a TOWNS around Bonneville, on the upper Columbia river want anti-aircraft guns. Protec tion is wanted for the army ammunition base at Hermiston. Several thousand of these wea pons should be placed to advan tage from Bellingham to Med ford. The demands are enor mous; the supply Infinitesimal for months to come. Another item demanded by the northwest are the listening devices which can record the direction, speed and height of an enemy plane. Shortage of these, too. England has hired hundreds of Americans to op erate these "ears," the Ameri cans not being in the army but as a uniformed civilian group. a RUMORED In the national capital that, to take advantage of the cheap power at Grand Coulee and Bonneville, certain new Industries are to be located cast of the mountains, about as far Inland as the transmission lines can be built and distri bute electricity. If new Indus tries are to be established, the strategy board wants them as far from the coast line as possi ble. No Indication of the charac ter -of the new industries, but presumably they would have something to do with war orders. War department Is not so happy now over congesting so many aircraft factories on the beach In California and Puget Sound; wishes they were farther inland; considers them a temptation to enemy fliers. -a .'.ITER studying the question fot -.onths, it is intimated that the war department Is now won over to the proposal to make airplanes of plywood almost. The British have been using spruce and Douglas fir for fight ing planes, but the war depart ment has up to now Insisted that onlv aluminum h MmiHrarf I One principal objection of, thr i ncpanmeni was mat an airplane ; of wood in a crackup would not I provide as much safety for the pilot and that It would he quick ly destroyed bf fire. This point has been overcome by demon strating how difficult It Is to burn plywood, whereas an alum inum plane (some simple kit chen utensils were used In this experiment) becomes at once hotter than a roasting oven. With the need of every plane that can be produced, the hint I dropped that war department can be expected to give an order for a few plywood planes to de termine how they act. If the planes are not made In the northwest at least the plywood will come from factories in that section. ANTICIPATING that the ser vice of women in the days ahead i when several million will be re quired to work In munition i plants, the office of education i wartime commision Is consider i Ing the possibilities. The agency, ja collection of college profess ;ors and other educators, is of the j belief that in addition to single I women, young mothers may be j registered to do their bit. This brings up the question of nur I series for the small children of these mothers that the children may receive proper care while i their mothers are operating i machines. Tentatively, the thought la for the federal gov ernment to maintain these nur series with a staff of experien 'eed nurses. The agency thinks i these nurseries should be estab j lished in every industrial center. ! Except In a matter of weeks, I tariff repeal on most of the ar ticles entering the United States from British Columbia, and vice ; versa. Mr. Roosevelt and Mac- Kenzie King have an under standing on this subject, first broached at their Hyde Park conference. These materials may include linen, crockery, the odds and ends which tourists must declare to customs officers on the borders. Iii The News Br Frank Janklns PRESIDENT Roosevelt, In a personal message to the Fili pino people today (Monday) pledges that their freedom will be REDEEMED and their Inde pendence established and pro tected. He adds: "The entire resources, In men and material, of the United States stand behind that pledge." MOTE FDR's use of the word ' "redeemed." Then consult your dictionary, which will tell you that which la redeemed has first been LOST. CHURCHILL, speaking in the senate of the United States last Thursday said: "There may be much ground LOST that will be difficult to regain." rvlSPATCHES from Washing ton today tell us General MacArthur has "shortened his lines and consolidated his troops" in the area north of Manila to face HEAVILY AUG MENTED enemy infantry, cav alry and tank regiments com posed of veteran soldiers with modern equipment. Two years' reading of war news leaves us in no doubt as to the meaning of shortening of lines and consolidation of troops. They are sound military man euvers, but they are resorted to in the face of SUPERIOR EN EMY FORCE. TPHE British today acknow- ledge that Japanese forces have swept south of Ipoh, tin and communications center 290 miles north of Singapore. The real fighting began 400 miles north of Singapore. Today's dispatches tells us Kuching, capital of Sarawak, on the island of Borneo has fal len to the Japs, who have also landed parachute troops on the eastern end of the island of Sumatra, across the straits from Singapore. WHAT does it all add up to? Simply this: That we must prepare our minds for the possibility of loss to the Japs of the Philippines, Singapore and the Dutch East Indies. OUCH a statement isn't defeat- Ism. It Is plain, common, everyday REALISM. Our military (including nav al) policy in the past has been based upon defense of the West ern Hemisphere. We have never expected to hold the Philippines against a major attack by a ma jor power. Holding the Philippines was not necessary for defense of the Western Hemisphere. CUDDENLY. however, we are catapulted into a world war. Japan, a major power, delivers a major attack on the Philip pines. Because we are in a WORLD war, and not merely defending the Western Hemisphere, we must hold the Philippines as long as we can with what we have there. What we have there Is Inade- MILK IS HOT "JUST MILK" Contrary to the belief ef many homemakers, milk Is not just milk. Thar is as much difference In the quality of milks as there is in the quality of ethar foods . . . Milks may differ In Food Value. Richness. Flavor, and Color and the differences tell tha Quality. 1. A deep cream Una. 2. Richness below tha cream line for tha minerals necessary ta tha human body. 3. Appeti xing flavor tha mora appetizing, tha mora X easily digested.

But we must do the best wa can. That Is war. IN the news today there are hints of naval relief for the hard-pressed Philippines. Don't expect the U. S. navy to stake everything on an all out battle with the Jap navy until It has at least EQUALITY In the air. That would be folly. Up to now everything Indi cates that Japan has complete command of the air in tha whole South China Sea. THE Philippines, of course, may be held. Only our high command knows whether the situation on all fronts is such that an effort must be road to bold them at any cost. But don't lose your nerve If the islands fall.
