A Bit Too Much?
The only man in public life, we can recall, who
approaches Prime Minister Churchill in his refresh
ing, and eometimes brutal frankness, is former Gov
ernor Martin, of this state.
It seemed many times during Governor Martin's
administration, in fact, that the General took a per
verse delight in leading with his chin, just to demon
strate to all and sundry, that he could "take it"
All the political wiseacres deplored such foolhardy
verbal indiscretions: but how the General ate it up,
and asked for more 1 the sheer audacity of the man,
gained him friends, while his complete indifference
to the immediate political consequences, was so un
usual and refreshing, for one in high office, that the
net result was to increase rather than decrease, his
personal popularity.
AT times, however, the General went too far in the
" gentle art of making enemies.
There is little doubt he would be governor today,
had he on one or two important occasions, not insist
ed upon being impolitic to the point of kicking eight
or ten thousand votes out into the street
But when it was realized all such indiscretions,
proceeded not from perversity or ill-temper, but from
the intensity of Governor Martin's devotion to the
welfare of the state, and all the people in it, even this
heresy from the standpoint of the orthodox politician
became, from a cumulative standpoint, an asset The
only trouble was a majority of the people never
realized the truth of this, until it was too late.
SO we wonder about'Prime Minister Churchill,
flna rtf Vila riitaf anrlinrr virrilea aa a aratoamgn onA
war leader, is his frankness, his complete honesty,
his uncompromising refusal to play politics or use
weasel words at such a critical time as this.
Mr. Churchill faces the FACTS!
From the first he has faced them, and he will con
tinue to face them regardless of the immediate conse
quences, as far as the timid, the faltering and the
defeatists are concerned.
MOREOVER he will have no traffic with those
who lack the stamina to do likewise.
He knows, just as every other clear-visioned and
clear-thinking statesman knows, that this war will be
won in the realm of the TRUTH, not in the realm
of make-believe, sugar-coated propaganda or pre
tense. 1 his war is therefore no place for an individual
or a nation, that can't stand the truth, and the sooner
such leaders are weeded out of the allied picture,
the better for all concerned.
And the Prime Minister is dead right
DUT we wonder if his zeal in this direction, is not
carrying him a bit too far, when (according to
John Kelly, our Washington correspondent), he
terms the war situation in Washington a "mess", a
radical housecleaning and shake-up being a crying
need, with the final responsibility placed on the
shoulders of ONE MAN, tell him, says the British
leader, to deliver the goods, and if he fails, KICK
HIM 0UT1
This is nothing new, expect the "kick him out!"
, In fact at least half a dozen Washington commen
tators have, from time to time, advocated similar
executive reorganization, while the Republican
minority, some time ago, charged the chief executive
with serious delinquencies in the direction of defense
administration and any real progress toward bringing
order out of chaos.
Nor can one deny that in thus "speaking out in
meeting", the motives of the "man from 10 Downing
Street", are of the best. his devotion to the allied
cause and his insistence upon placing victory above
all personal or political considerations, forming the
sole basis of his criticism.
MEVERTHELESS coming from the high represen-
tative of a foreign power, while he is an honored
guest of the administration, he thus takes to task,
DOES raise the question, as in the case of former
Governor Martin, as to both the propriety and the
REAL political wisdom of such "fearlessness."
Might not the British Prime Minister have been
vise to have kept such criticisms of American policy
to himself, for the time being or if he considered the
matter urgent, have conveyed them unofficially and
personally, rather than put them thus boldly on the
public record?
AS was true with Governor Martin one hesitates to
criticize such uncompromising devotion to the
public weal, such complete honesty and rugged fear
lessness, yet,
There is such a thing as being TOO indifferent to
the political factor in concerns of public interest,
national or international.
For when all is said and done, public opinion,
what the people in the mass feel and think, is more
important than anything else. There is no question
of the validity of Mr. Churchill's criticism. No recent
visitor to war-torn Washington could question that
But there is, we fear, considerable question as to
its political expediency, as to what the people of
the country as a whole, will think and feel about such
criticism coming from this particular source, and
under the conditions which today exist

not increased
as a result of the war. On the
contrary numerous British med
ical authorities have reported
the frequency of such com
plaints has diminished notably
since the war began.
One large "social centre" In
London, Guy's hospital, in a
severely bombarded area, has
had no increase in the propor
tion of psychiatric cases since
the war began, and few cases o
neurosis attributable to the war.
Even In the R.A.F. "nervous
breakdown" appears to be con
spicuously rare. As a psychia
trist of the Air Force expresses
it, "In 30 years I have never
been more idle than when serv
ing (as psychiatric specialist) in'
the Royal Air Force". A large
hospital which has been estab
lished for such cases in the R.A.
F. remained empty f long that
it was finally opened for general
use.
People In England have less
time to think about minor per
sonal troubles now. Women who
were formerly, well, frankly.
Idle and concerned only to excel
one another in matters of fash
ion, social distinction, and the
like, now devote their thoughts
and energies to useful work
which will help to win the war.
Like the men of the R.A.F., the
women of England have put
aside all petty, snobbish, class
conscious strife and turned to
with a noble inspiration to serve
in technical or purely mechan
ical capacity wherever and how
ever they can help. Like the
members of the R.A.F. they take
pride in accomplishing their as
signed tasks, and this joy in be
ing of some use In the world Is
the secret of the high morale
that prevails In Britain. It is
also the secret of the extraordin
ary freedom of the people there
from "war psychoses" or "war
neuroses".

Washington, D. C, Jan. 8.
The ensuing 12 months the
first full year of the United
States at war will be found by
the people of the Pacific north
west unlike any previous experi
ence. Life-long habits will be
changed; the people will be de
prived of many things now com
mon as mud; the northwest area
will be forced to produce ships,
airplanes and aluminum as
never before. New Industries
will be located In the region.
Airports for the Interceptor and
bomber groups will be Inert ased;
additional cantonments. An im
mense number of soldiers will
be stationed along the coast.
There, is a fair chance that
Japanese air raiders may sweep
in from carriers off shore, drop
ping token bombs on Seattle and
Tacoma, on Portland, and pos
sibly trying to cripple the ship
yards and airplane factories and
the government-owned Bonne
ville dam. Japanese submar
ines, already active along the
coast, can be expected to shoot
at merchant vessels. There may
even be an attempted Invasion.
for during 1942 the United
States will be building up its
Pacific fleet and not ready to
contact a considerable enemy
force.

HOWEVER, the cities of the
northwest have had experience
with blackouts; the various in

For four day from Decem
ber 17 to 21 a 30-ship convoy
was under running attack by
German submarines and long
range bomber. Two of the 30
freighters were sunk. The rest
reached port.
The defending British lost a
destroyer and an auxiliary war
ship. The Germans lost at least
three submarine and at least
two long-range bombers.
THE Battle of the Atlantic is
one phase of the world war
In which we are engaged. The
Battle of Luzon is another phase.
It is all JNE WAR, whose
primary purpose, on our side, is
to lick Hitler. When Hitler is
licked, the axi will crumble.
FROM Hitler's headquarter
(somewhere in Russia) comes
this report today:
"Defensive fighting in the
Moscow sector continues despite
INTENSE COLD In one battle
in the central sector the bolshe
vists attacked four days and five
nights without Interruption. Our
troops had almost no rest, and
this was In the SEVEREST
COLD AND SNOWSTORMS."
IN late June of 1812, Napoleon
Invaded Russia with an army
of some half million men, of
whom 250,000 were seasoned
veterans. In late November of
the same year he got out of Rus
sia with less than 20,000, of
whom only 8000 answered the
rollcall. The rest were disorgan
ized stragglers.
In his entire Russian adven-ttira-
frnm its heeinnlne to its
disastrous end. Napoleon NEVER
LOST A BATTLE. Me tooK
every city at which he directed
his efforts.
His staggering reverses on the
plains of Russia, which set the
skids for his ultimate descent
into oblivion, were brought
about by the terrible Russian
winter and the vast Russian dis
tances which made supply of his
army impossible.
That is something for Hitler
to think about.
UNCONFIRMED Swedish re
ports assert that the Ger
mans are already building de
fenses along the Polish border,
which was the jumping-off place
for Hitler's Invasion on June 22.
Napoleon crossed the river
Niemen into Russia (through
what is now Poland). It was not
until it recrossed the Niemen on
its way back that the shattered
remnant of his army found sanc
tuary from the pursuing Rus
sians. These Swedish rumors may
not be wholly moonshine. What
has happened once can happen
again.
