LIKELY IDEA
(Chicago Tribunal
"I notice that the govern

keep information from our
enemies. Why not continue
to publish them and fool the
enemy like they do us?"
Sensational rumors relative to
conditions on the Pacific Coast

through the East, after spread
ing like forest fires through the
West. The Ashland Tidings yes
terday notes: "Even some of our
own citizens toss out an exag
rerated stnry occasionally, seem

ing themselves appear as mar
tyrs to their eatern friends."
A sugnr shortage is predicted
for the nation by the end of
1942, and may be felt during
the home-canning season. The
way America runs out of things
I: a caution. There is an ample
sipply of Hell, but there may be
a lark of Hifch Water to go
With It.
U. S. Victory In South America
The surprising thing is not that Argentine and
Chile have been reluctant to sign the anti-Axis pact,
but that more South American countries have not
assumed the same attitude.
For the plain truth is, the
ica don't LIKE the United
They don't like high-powered political pressure,
from north of the Rio Grande.
And throughout South
Axis groups, with considerable economic and polit
ical strength, working all the time, to forestall any
pro-American entente.
i inally there is scarcely
with a stable government in the sense the government
of the United States is stable. Practically all have
strong revolutionary elements within, organized and
financed by the Axis powers, and waiting intently
for an opportune time to strike.
THE apparent success of the anti-Axis pact, there
fnra ia milfA ram a rlr a Vila anA a hirrh fastitrmnifll
not only to the power exerted over South America
by the Roosevelt administration, but the skill with
which it has been applied.
True that power has been chiefly economic.
Money talks, and with the European market out,
for the duration, South American countries simply
can't afford to break off relations with the United
States. Any disposition down there to go over to the
Axis, would mean just that
Even so, because of the South American allergy
to dollar diplomacy, Yankee imperialism and Gringo
absence of Latin finesse, had Roosevelt diplomacy
not differed radically from the diplomacy of preced
ing administrations, this Rio gathering would almost
certainly have gone on the rocks ere this.
The corner stone of that diplomacy has been the
"good neighbor" note, a practical policy of self
interest, of course, from the standpoint of the United
States and the allied cause, but ENLIGHTENED
self-interest, based upon granting real concessions to
South America, as well
putting both political and
genuinely reciprocal basis.
IT has taken a considerable time, but at long last
the leaders of South America as a whole have be
come convinced, that the United States policy is not
entirely imperialistic, nor completely selfish.
Ihe bread cast upon the
by the Roosevelt administration has, after many days,
been found at last and at a most opportune time!
Hitler Can t Laugh This Off
At last Russia has achieved a real victory, which
even the resourceful Dr. Goebbels can't laugh off.
Mozhaisk, after a 45-day battle, has been recap
tured by the Red army, and Stalin thus secures a
vitally strategic point, which in all likelihood marks
the end of Hitler's Napoleonic effort to knockout
Russia on the Eastern front
For as long as Moscow and Leningrad are intact,
the Soviet government, with its unlimited resources
in man power and raw materials, can't be beaten,
can't indeed be seriously hurt. And without Mozhaisk,
the Germans can't advance toward these two objec
tives but must retreat
XE don't deny the likelihood the Nazi forces were
not so much driven out of this key point, as they
voluntarily retired, at least the absence-of Soviet
claims in the direction of booty and prisoners indi
cates as much.
On the other hand, this retirement was NOT volun
tary. Such a vital station in the Moscow defense line,
would never have been abandoned by Hitler, had
his forces in that sector not been outflanked and in
danger of being cut off.
There is, therefore, no doubt that at the present
writing along the Moscow front, the Russians not
only have the initiative, but unquestioned superiority
in force.
MEANWHILE just what Der Reichsfuehrer and
" his badly scrambled High Command are up to
remains obscure. That something is brewing, and for
a long time, has been, is certain.
Whether the surprising Russian victories on the
Eastern front, have forced Hitler to change his plans
of a winter blitzkrieg somewhere to the south, and
transfer large bodies of troops back to the Russian
front; or whether the blitzkrieg has merely been
delayed and may burst out now at any time, with
sudden and unexpected force, remains a mystery.
Daylight Saving
A subscriber asks what we are going to do about
daylight saving.
Yhat the authorities do, of course.
Governor Sprague has decided to proclaim the new
! schedule for the state of
; to see any real advantage
to have 1 U systems of daylight prevailing, would
be worse.
And that would be the only alternative to comply
ing with the governor's edict.
IJOWEVER, the entire subject appeals to this de
partment as a trivial matter one way or the other.
All the objections lumped together only come
under the general heading of inconvenience. And in
convenience, personal or general, with a war on,
does not and ehould not count

In case you are not sure Just
what lordosis means It ia exag

Idle of the back) of the spine,
commonly called hollow back
or swayback, and often associat

shoulders, though not always.
In some cases of lordosis the
upper part of the back and the
shoulders are straight and the
lower part hollow.
Part and parcel of lordosis, In !

The troops were trained with
simulated jungle conditions In
China and Indo-China for this
purpose. They carried five days
of rations, more than European
troops have heretofore been
able to handle.
The sea flank proved even
easier for them. Selling numer
ous small fishing boats as they
progressed, they loaded, say. 50
to 100 mrn in each of the 20
boats and dropped' perhaps 2000
soldiers down the peninsula at

British fortified line, to cut
fires, threaten supplies and
create havoc.
As a result the Jap Jungle
blitz has apparently broken
some German records for speed.
They supplied themselves by
sea on the east coast, unmolest

the disastrous sinking of the
British battleships Prince of

plies on the west coast went
down by rail from Bangkok and
Indo-China, where they had
amassed an abundance before
starting the invasion.
THE British were outnum
bered 4 to 1. and soon saw
that valor could not overcome
their deficiency in numbers,
planes and anti-tank material
(including tanks). The Jap medi

bamboo parts of the Jungle easy
going, and small rubber tree
plantations no barrier. Selling
the local commercial air fields

West Coast Mayors

Douglas DriVe
Goes for Naught
By Joha W. Kelly
Washington. D. C, Jan. 21.
Mayors from the Pacific coast
(Portland, T a c o m a, Seattle)
blinked their eyes when they
heard Secretary of the Navy
Frank Knox, standing before a
loud-speaker, declare that the
west coast will have to wait be
fore there Is a navy to defend
that section of the United States.
The secretary declared to the
200-odd mayors assembled from
all parts of the country that
the No. 1 enemy If Herr
Schickenlgruber; that Hitler
must be disposed of first that
it will require a long time, and
until that is accomplished the
Pacific coast people must wait.
To a major part of the may
ors, coming from the Atlantic,
southern and mid-west states,
came applause; but none from
the west coast officials. The
country that the United States
is at grips with, the active en
emy that has given the United
States reversals, is Japan and
not Germany. The western
mayors had a different view of
the picture than Secretary
Knox. As they expressed them
selves after the Knox talk, they
recognize that the Pacific fleet
has been severely crippled by
the Pearl harbor disaster and
that a substantial part of the
navy Is In Atlantic waters, and
that time is required for the
building of new cruisers, de
stroyers and submarines; but
they did not appreciate the sec
retary's statement that the west
coast must muddle along until
after Herr Hitler had been dis
posed of.
ANTHONY J. DIMOND, del
egate for Alaska, says he is
fearful that a renetitinn rtf
what tiinnen.it at Pnrl hnrhor
may occur in Alaska and that

In The
Day's
News ;
By FRANK JENKINS
IN the Pacific war situation to-
day (Monday) Singapore is
vividly spotlighted.
An AP dispatch says:
"With the Japanese still ad
vancing, Malaya's steaming Jun
gle land, which the British had
looked upon as a sort of natural
Maginot line for Singapore, has
taken its place as another out
worn defensive concept and the
battle for Singapore today be
came purely a test of fighting
men and their weapons."
--
TTHE dispatch adds:
"Some of the fiercest hand-to-hand
combat in the history of
war is in store, if not already in
progress, along the narrowing,
fluid line of defense in Johore
state, well within 100 miles of
the pivotal base (Singapore)
which the British call their
Gibraltar of the Orient."
CINCE the remotest times of
which we have any record.
man has sought an impregnable
wall behind which he could
hope to be safe.
His earliest cities were walled.
The Chinese built a vast wall
along their whole northern bor
der.
The French built their Magi
not line a wall of forts and
guns.
But throughout history
FIGHTING MEN AND THEIR
WEAPONS have provided the
ONLY defense that could be
permanently relied upon.
f ET us note with pardonable
" pride that In Luzon MacAr
thur and his men DID NOT re
tire to the walls and the under
ground chambers of Corregidor,
but STAYED OUTSIDE and re
lied upon their discipline, their
fighting skill and their weapons
to hold back the Japs.
They will fall back to Correg
idor only as a last resort.
DARRING a miracle, MacAr
thur's magnificent stand in
Luion can be only a delaying
action. Today's dispatches say
of It:
'The gallant band of Ameri
cans and Filipinos is contribut
ing materially to the defense of
Singapore and the Dutch East
Indies by HOLDING IN CHECK
a large army of Japanese on
Luion, but these seems no doubt
that its situation Is DETERI
ORATING." This hard-fighting little army
has been forced back 20 miles in
two weeks and there are signs
today that the Japs are grouping
PREPONDERANT strength for
a fresh offensive to defeat it as
soon as possible and press on to
richer fields.
...
DUT at least we know these
Americans in the far out
posts DIDN'T rely upon walls
or citadels.
History tells us that over the
long pull reliance upon walls
and citadels and intricate forti
fications such as the Maginot
line has been a sign of spiritual
deterioration of a national in
feriority complex.
As a nation. China was be
coming decadent when she built
her Great Wall.
As a nation, France was be
coming decadent when she built
her Maginot line and retired
smugly and confidently behind
it.
AMERICANS, as typified by
MacArthur and his tough
m
little army in Luzon, still choose
to FIGHT IT OUT IN THE
OPEN in a test of fighting men
and their weapons.
We are NOT DECADENT.
We have what the lesson of
history tells us IT TAKES TO
SURVIVE.

And have read the news for
some sort of clue,
Now I have a car which I can
drive.
To help with it would be my
pride. v
Then I had some money I had
saved for taxes.
I thought with glee. I'll make
that hurt the axis,'
Then down to the post office
I did fly
For a defense savings bond
there did apply.
Our hearts will ache when our
boys we give.
But our land must be kept a
fit place to live.
For the American children, our
pride and Joy,
No human on earth will again
try to decoy.
For Japan sent over a most
clever man,
To steer us away from their
great plan.
While we were trying a peace
to gain.
Our own dear soldiers they
were slaying.
