Wake Up
Now and then we run into an editorial which we
wish we might have written ourselves. Not so often,
for newspapers like individuals, like to express their
beliefs in their own particular way, and seldom are
such beliefs identical.
But now and then such a "natural" comes along,
and when this happens we are glad to give over and
let our journalistic "Gunga Din" occupy the pulpit
We are indebted to E. W. Carlton of Table Rock
for sending us such an editorial, printed in the New
York World Telegram of March 5th.
Not only does it stress a point, we have been ham
mering on ever since we
presses it so much MORE fully and effectively than
We have been able to do, that we are glad to reprint
it IN FULL as follows: '
"The nation needs to awaken to the full gravity
of the peril that confronts it.
It needs to appreciate how badly we have
been defeated in three months of war.
It needs to understand that it is possible for
the United Nations and the United States to lose
this war and suffer the fate of France and1 that
this possibility may become a probability if the
present tide does not change.
It needs to realize that there is grave chance
of the Japanese pushing through India and the
Germans driving through the Near East, to join
their armies and resources in an almost unbeat
able combination. .
It needs to get away, once and for all, from
the comforting feeling that while we may lose
at me siari we are Douncl to win in the end.
PRODUCTION Director Donald Nelson ap
peals for vastly increased industrial output
on a 24-hour, seven-day basis 168 hours a
week. Maximum production, in short.
Can we get it?
Not on the present basis not under the psy
chology of recent years.
Not until we quit thinking in terms of less
work for more money.
Not while there is greater concern about over
time pay than overtime production.
Not while farmer-politicians are more inter
ested in higher prices than raising more essen
tials. Not while government bureaus created to
meet a depression emergency that is ended
continue to grab for themselves money needed
for armaments.
Not while an army of federal press agents
clamors to promote and perpetuate activities
that have no present need or value.
Not while Congressmen try to put over useless
canals and river schemes and take up the time
of defense officials clamoring for factories and
contracts as if war were a great gravy train.
Not while WPA, despite a shortage of labor,
.seeks to carry on projects which it doesn't have
the men to perform or the need for performing.
Not while CCC and NYA stretch greedy hands
for funds to pamper young men who ought to be
in the armed forces or the war plants.
Not while strikes hamper war production,
despite a solemn promise that they would stop.
Not while the life-and death need for uninter
rupted production is used as a weapon to put
over the closed shop.
Not while double time is demanded for Sun
day work which is only part of a 40-hour week.
Not while a man can't be employed on an
army project or in a war plant until he pays $20
to $50 or more to a labor racketeer.
Not while criminal gangs control employment
and allocation of men to work on the Normandie
and the other ships along New York's vast water
front. Not while fifth columnists are pampered and
enemy aliens move freely in defense areas.
Not while the grim job of preparing our home
communities against air raids and sabotage is
gummed up with a lot of highfalutin, boon
doggling, social service activity.
Not while pressure blocs clamor for higher
benefits, bounties and pensions.
WE will not get maximum production, in
short, unless, first, we fully realize our
awful peril; and, second, get over the gimmes of
recent years.
Gimme shorter hours, gimme higher wages,
gimme bigger profits, gimme more overtime,
gimme less work, gimme more pensions, gimme
greater crop benefits, gimme more appropri
ations and patronage, gimme plants for my con
. gressional district, gimme fees and dues to work
for Uncle Sam, gimme ham'n' eggs, gimme
share-the-wealth, gimme $30 every Thursday.
Fiance had the gimmes, too had them till the
Germans were close to Fans. Then everybody
went frantically to work "TOO LATE!"
France has no gimmes today except gimme
food for my baby, gimme a place to lay my head,
gimme death !"

THE MODEL HEALTH DIET
The rejuvenation diet referred
to her recently la simply an
outline or pattern, a model
health diet on which to base
your own ev
eryday diet to
suit your indi
vidual require
ments. Aa it
stands it would
be a reducing
diet for the
average adult.
a la maintenance
fl I diet for the
I adult who sits
abed all the
time, gets no
no muscular or
exercise, does
physical work.
It yields only
about 2,100 calories. Average
daily caloric requirement of
adults doing light work or play
ing a little every day is 2,500
to 2,800 calories. A normal
woman doing all her own house-
work may need 3,000 to 3,300
calories just to keep her trim
and fit, at normal weight. Inci
dentally, If the experience of
many of our correspondents in
the past 20 years means any
thing, the most effective course
a woman can follow to keep
trim and fit is just that doing
all her own housework.
Reasons why it is a health
diet, rejuvenation diet, regener
ation diet, corrective protective
diet are, first, because it is well
balanced, that is, supplies the
normal proportions of fat, pro
tein and carbohydrate. The us
ual everyday diet of most peo
ple is vnbalanced because it
supplies an excessive propor
tion of carbohydrate (sugar and
starch). Second, the model diet
supplies nearly if not quite all
the vitamins one requires as
long as one follows such a diet.
It does not supply enough vita
mins if the diet is supplemented
with additional items made of
refined sugars or flours. Third,
it supplies probably un adequate
amount of the essentia, min
erals, as long as one follows the
diet. Third, the diet supplies a
fair proportirn of the essential
minerals.
In recent years certain foods
have been generally called "pro
tective" foods, because they are
rich in the essential minerals
and vitamins. These foods are
milk and -airy products, eggs,
fresh fruits, fresh vegetables,
salad or greens. Other foods
which deserve to be included
in the group but for some ob
scure reason usually are not
mentioned, are nuts (including

of it, they can squeeze the Nazis

e a e
THe Nazis have been concen
trating their own forces in
the Ukraine for some weeks,
and placing Italian, Hungarian
and Rumanian troops in the
Balkans (for police duty to re
lieve their own men for the
front?)
Their natural first objective
is the Caspian sea, to cut the
mouth of the Volga, to seize
Baku, and thus throttle the
Russian source of oil.
Encouraging claims of great
Russian victories you have been
reading through the winter, re
late to the northern front. The
reds have driven the Germans
back an average of only 40
miles In the south. Apparently
they used their available rein
forcements wholly in the north
Consequently what they had In
the south was insufficient to
follow through their initial sue-
cesses at Rostov and in tne
Crimea.
The weather should allow the
Nazis to start their southern
offensive In about a month, if
the reds do not disrupt their
organization first. The mushy
period of thaw ordinarily does
not last there beyond April la.

sequently any effort to gauge
their chances in this fateful

that the Nari army is "invinci

Notwithstanding that Ameri

States to permit free passage of
goods which ordinarily would
have to pay duty, and that
Unci; Sam is a full brother in
arms with Canada in this war,
the Canadians have finally and
reluctantly granted permission
for this country to build a mili
tary highway to Alaska across
British Columbia province. The
Canadian war council has
agreed to this road as a military
necessity, but there is still dis
agreement as to where the high
way should strike off from the
United States.
Pacific northwest has always
believed in and advocated a
road to Alaska which would be
an extension of U. S, route No.
99, the Pacific Highway. That
has never met with the views of
the Canadians,' most of whom,
apparently, want the road to
start in the vicinity of Chicago
and meander across the prairies
of Saskatchewan, Alberta and
then northwest across British
Columbia. If, it is argued, the
United States is so anxious to
build a road to Alaska then it
may as well construct it through
a large part of the provinces,
hence the Chicago terminal.
The route Prime Minister
Mackenzie King favors is one
connecting the army air bases
which have been constructed on
Canadian soil by the United
States to break the Jump to
Fairbanks. Whil, this military
highway is an essential to de
fense of British Columbia, as it
is to Pacific northwest states,
the Canadians will contribute
nothing toward it other than the
right-of-way, and there is no as
surance that Canada will not
insist on payment for this.
IT required a world war to
put steam behind the Alaska
highway. The idea has been
popular in Washington and
Oregon for many years, but the
Canadians were not interested.
Nor were the neighbors across
the border willing to yield until
the Japanese threat to the
North American continent via
the Aleutians and Alaska. Now
the Canadians are willing that
the road be built as rapidly as
possible. .-
The Alaska highway is plan
ned to get munitions into the
territory, to provide a strong
defense on the ground and to
build up supplies for the great
offensive now being worked
out by the war strategists. In
the national capital it is a ques
tion whether Alaska can be pre

All the nickel used in this coun

However, the specialists have

Oregon; the third in an un

THE Japs slacken temporarily
their attack on the eastern
tip of the island of New Guinea,
and today's (Friday's) dispatches
report that considerable Japan
ese forces have been sighted
well to the eastward, in the
neighborhood of the Solomon
islands.
This might mean:
1. That they are-attempting a
fake play, hoping to draw U. S.
and Australian forces away
from New Guinea and northern
Australia.
2. That they are moving east
ward along the line of islands
dotting the South Pacific to
threaten the supply line from
America to Australia.
IT must be accepted from the
start that Australia will be
unable to defend herself with
out aid and the United States
is the only place effective help
can come irom.
If we are to help Australia,
the sea lanes must be kept open.
THE Japs probably got some-
thing of a jolt in their latest
New Guinea attack, finding
combined American and Austra
lian air strength tougher than
they expected.
Admiral Hart, former com
mander of the U. S. Asiatic fleet
told us bluntly the other day
that we lost the first round
against Japan because the Japs
had complete command of the
air.
Maybe we are making pro
gress toward building air

ONE POINT for an effective
counter-blow at japan.
MEANWHILE, on the other
side of the world, the Rus
sians unleash a new counter
offensive, using, today's dis
patches tell us, from a million
and a quarter to a million and a
half men, with 90 armored divi
sions. The German line is re
ported to be bending under the
blow.
Red Star, the Russian army
newspaper, says:
"The offensive this spring
will be RUSSIAN not Ger
man." Red Star insists that the Nazi
war machine is wearing out as a
result of its costly fall drive and
the battering it has received
during the winter.
11ISHFUL thinking leads usf
" to believe this statement.
CAUTION points out that there
have been no reports as yet of
Germans SURRENDERING in
large numbers.
On the contrary, there have
been repeated reports of sur
rounded Germans fighting stub
bornly and bitterly as the Rus
sians fought when they were
being driven back last fall.
When we get authenticated
reports of Germans surrender
ing in large numbers we can be
gin to believe the Nazi war ma
chine is wearing out.
Until then, we'd better keep
our fingers crossed.
NOTE that the Russians are
striking NOW not retiring
behind the barrier of mud thut
will be created by the melting
of the winter snows.
The Germans are masters oi
mechanized warfare. The Rus
sians have demonstrated their
ability to use cavalry effectively
in spite of the idea that cav
alry is an outmoded arm.
Cavalry can move more effec
tively in the mud than trucks
and heavy tanks. The Russians
are evidently hitting hard at the
beginning of the spring thaw in
order to make full use of this
advantage.
They seem to be intelligent as
well as tough fighters.
