Tokyo Is Bombed!
Well, well, that air raid on Tokyo IS something!
Not only Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya (the big air
craft center) and Kobe. (
Tokyo claims no serious damage of course. Unless
the construction of Japanese factories and houses has
changed overnight, however, the damage must have
been tremendous. Outside of one hotel in Tokyo,
Japan is supposed to have had practically no fire
proof construction at all, and it fire fighting equip
ment, until very recently at least, dated back to the
Chicago fire.
CO here is certainly a military achievement of the
first magnitude hitting Japan where she lives,
striking Nippon in her weakest, instead of her strong
est, point
It is something this department has urged ever
since last December 7th, without, however, any ap
preciable effect upon the U. S. general staff! (!)
TITELL there is no evidence these planes did come
" from Russia. On the other hand there is no
evidence they DIDN'T.
In fact one item in Secretary of War Stimson'B
statement of Friday that our army was all set for
an all-out offensive, might mean Russia had secretly
turned over some air bases in the Vladivostok area to
the United States.
"Friendly nations," remarked the Secretary of
War, "are holding posts in distant places vital to us."
What other friendly nation could be meant?
China? Australia? The Netherlands? Free French?
Possibly. But what nation but Soviet Russia has air
fields of any importance in running order in far
distant places?
IT is all a guess, we admit. But until the base for this
bombing attack is known, we refuse to rule out
Vladivostok entirely. We grant it isn't probable but
it is possible.
And this Siberian coast has it all over any other
feasible air base area for it is only a few hundred
miles from Japan and the nearest available point to
Dutch harbor and the United States.
LIOWEVER that may be, sufficient unto the day
are the good tidings thereof? For from Some
allied airbase Japan has been bombed, for the first
time since Pearl Harbor, the first time in history
and what was done Friday, certainly can be done
Saturday, Sunday, or any other day in the week.

Japan's "Lord Haw-Haw"
In a characteristic "fishing" expedition, Tokyo
claims to have sunk a large U. S. airplane carrier off
the coast of Japan.
In the same dispatch it is also claimed this air at
tack on Japan was made by
teen based at Panay.
The latter is particularly
war office. The airfields
anese hands, so no further
least need be feared.
THESE Japs are amusing birds. Their propaganda

Friday night the prototype of Germany's "Lord Haw
Hr.w" even pulled the old bewhiskered wheeze that in
this initial blast "only schools and hospitals were hit!"
The God-fearing and
populace NATURALLY were much horrified by this
evidence of calculated brutality and indifference to
the finer things of life !
"Foxy Grandpa"
Yes, this is the age of military experts, they are
thicker than flies on a leaking beer barrel in August.
In yesterday's Oregonian two of them held forth
on the same page Kirke L. Simpson of the Associat
ed Press, and an un-byelined but copyrighted corre
spondent of the Chicago Daily News, Incorp., Secre
tary Knox's paper.
Simpson pontificated that Pierre Laval is destined
to play second-fiddle to Admiral Darlan in the new
Vichy set-up, the latter holding the veto power over
the former.
The Chicago News correspondent, on the other
hand, writing from "Somewhere in Europe" makes
exactly the opposite claim, Admiral Darlan, far from
being the power behind the throne, has been "let
down with a sop."
We quote:
Meanwhile. Admiral Jean Darlan, whom Laval replaces,
has been let down with a sop. A Vichy decree maintains
the demoted vice-premier and foreign minister in the roster
of active French army officers without age limit. This
status, applied before only in the cases of Marshal Petain
and General Maxime Weygand, offers a crumb of moral
satisfaction to a man who now passes into the background
of modern French history.
Well boys and girls, pay your money and take your
choice.
But this is characteristic of our best war experts
the conflict of their views can only be exceeded by
THEIR assurance.
Our own view is the Chicago News correspondent
has all the better of the argument. For those who
know foxy Laval best, know that once given power
he plays second fiddle to NO ONE!
He may, for expediency's sake, pretend to.
And as he is quite aware of his personal popularity
hcth on this side of the water and the other, what
more natural than that with the long-desired reins of
control finally in his hands, he should make it appear
a little of your own medi
U. S. bombers which had
consoling for the Tokyo
of Panay are now in Jap
raids from this source at
humanity - loving Japanese
that he is subordinate both to Darlan, and to the ven
erable idol of the French people, General Petain.
In short it all looks like a characteristic Laval ruse
to us, obvious window dressing, solely for Laval's
own selfish purposes, and the better to hoodwink the
allies.

POOR MAN WITH DIAB
Here is what one diabetic
thinks about It:
Dear Dr. Brady:
I am mar
ried man 32
years old and
have had dia
betes since I
was 14 years
old. When!
first found out
I had it, regu
lation of diet
and Insulin
came before
everything
else. Fortun
ately I had at
tained 8th grade education be
fore that time.
I believe there are few kinds
or types of labor I haven't done
or tried, and a few years ago
after much begging and running
around I got an order for a few
bottles of insulin from the local
relief office.
It is too bad we don't get
some one in political office with
diabetes. We have Christmas
seals for tuberculosis and the
March of Dimes for victims of
infantile paralysis, but no agency
to help diabetes sufferers who
cannot afford to buy insulin.
There must be hundreds of
diabetics right here in this com
munity who are, like myself,
unable to buy the insulin they
need.
It seems every job I get I'm
In debt for insulin when I start,
and then of course it is a prob
lem to buy more and pay for
what I have already used and
still keep a home together.
(One of thousands of insulin
users.)
This Is one of many letters of
similar import I have received
from diabetics who need insulin
but cannot afford it.
Without further discussion I
submit it, first, to the public,
and second, to the rank and file
of the American Medical as
sociation whose unrestrained
self-constituted spokesman scath
ingly denounced me, in the edi
torial columns of what purports
to be the official organ of the
association, because I called to
public attention the equivocal
attitude of the American Medi
cal association toward the pat

"Maryland is an average state

taxes paid by Maryland In 1941

Communications
Prefers Mr. Snail for Governor
To the editor: In regard to
your editorial "Sprague versus
Snell" In the Mail Tribune of
April 13th. I have the following
. comments to make:
I You state that it la best not
to swap hones when crossing a
stream. Do you feel that this re
mark Is logical? I have always
I understood that a horse no mat
ter how good he may have been
gets to the point in time where
he ia simply plodding along but
not actually getting very far.
This ia nothing against tha
horse, but why not take on a
fresh one? Paul Revere did.
It ia definitely true, as Mr
Sprague mentioned in his cam
paign speech, that Earl Snell ia
a thorough gentleman. As for
contacts with the army, the
navy and federal officials, Mr.
Snell was appointed as a mem
ber of the national board of five
serving as a highway traffic ad
visory committee to the war de
partment. This committee was
set up at the request of tha sec
retary of war. So it is obvious
that Mr. Snell will have the best
of contacts in this respect. May
I say Earl Snell is dynamic, cau
tious but aggressive and sincere.
So why not give another man
that we know gets things done
a chance to carry us over this
critical period safely.

From Washington. D. C.
Action Due Soon
To Halt Inflation
Many Deferred
In Draft Calls
Pasco Depot To
Be Supply Head
By John W. Kelly
Washington, D. C, April 19.
It costs $1.20 today to buy some
thing which one year ago cost
$1 (figures from department of
labor.) High officials do not
like this steadily Increasing cost
of living and will soon do some
thing about it before prices get
out of hand. This is what is
called Inflation; the increased
purchasing power of the people,
a limited amount of commodities
and the competition of those
with money seeking to buy the
scarce goods. In the higher
brackets of government it is
proposed to meet the situation
by setting a price on everything
from rents to baby carriages.
This will be supplemented by
rationing certain customer dur
able goods.
One of the means to curb pur
chasing power is to restrict re
tail credit. Some fine morning
from Washington will be issued
an order striking at the charge
accounts of the department
stores. The customer will be
able to say "charge it," but with
in limitations. How this will be
worked out is yet undecided, but
possibly a customer with a
charge account will be limited
to a certain percentage of the
purchase, the remainder to be
paid in cash. The present hob
bles on installment buying will
be tightened. Uncle Sam wants
everyone to get out of debt as
soon as possible and be in posi
tion to pay more taxes, buy
more bonds and stamps. Re
strictions on retail credit will
affect furniture stores, credit
groceries, fur stores, many wom
en's specialty shops and certain
men's clothing stores by reduc
ing their volume of business.
Rent control, now in effect In
a few cities, is to be made nation-wide
but especially in
places like the Pacific north
west where there are war in
dustries. Less attention will be
given to communities which
have lost population through re
moval to work in shipyards, air
plane factories and munitions
plants. Government is deter
mined that the people shall not
be gouged by landlords.

OUT of every 100 men classi
fied for the draft 64 have been

bothered about it for it is slow

eight to 10 million probably
tha latter. Local boards have
been deferring those with de
pendents but there are so many
with dependents of combat age
that only 36 have been Inducted,
the single men in the draft. War
department says that thofe with
dependents must be put in uni
form, and this puts the problem
up to congress. The legislative
branch has done nothing about
dependents. A bill has been in
troduced increasing the compen
sation of soldiers, sailors and
marines. Another measure pro
vides that a soldier allot $13 a
month to his family, the govern
ment matching this for the wife,
giving an additional $15 a
month for one child, $10 for the
second and $5 for each addition
al child. This would give a
family of four $60 a month.
Still another bill proposes high
er compensation. It Is roughly
estimated that the cost of car
ing for dependents will be one
half billion dollars a year,

WHEN all males have regist
ered on April 27 the selective
service estimates there will be
41,870,000 listed between 18 and
65 years. Out of this number
the breakdown shows 5,000,000
for the army, 1,000,000 for the
navy, 2.000,000 for the air corps,
20.000,000 for industry, 9,000,
000 for agriculture, and. 4.000,
000 for civilian defense. There
is not yet an announced use for
the men of 45-65, estimated at
10,000.000; all they ere required
to do is to register and indicate
what their business or profes
sion may be. In the first World
war the top registration was 45
years, and they were never
called upon to do anything.
It will be noted that war In
dustries will require 15 for each
soldier; almost two men in agri
culture. Taking the air corps,
the navy and army (8,000,000)
there will be 2.5 in industry for
each service man. Later, with
women in war industries, in
cluding government plants, they
will replace men of combat age.
