Subjugated Peoples
Growing Restive as
Crucial Battle Near
By DeWltt Mackansla,
Wide World War Analyst.
As the time draws near for the joining of the crucial
battle of the Hltlerlan conflict, there emerges the possibility
that this armagedon may see uprisings In many places by the
invisible army of the subjugated peoples.
Should this happen on an extended scale and It might
It likely would produce bloody chaos in the affected areas.
The fury of revolting populace, even though lacking proper
arms, can be very terrible.
Word long ago was spread i
throughout the conquered coun
tries by allied radio and by
underground telegraph that the
hour of deliverance would come,
and the V-for-vlctory symbol
became a flaming torch of hope.
Indeed, the campaign Inspired
so much premature violence
that the British began urging
these Hitler-ridden folk to hold
their peace until the signal came
for an uprising. It has been
hard to keep them In hand, for
the yoke of bondage has been
cruel.
Call To Prepare
Now Going Out
But now suddenly Britain's
"Colonel Brltton" the radio
voice which has been fostering
and guiding the V-for-victory
army on the continent has
electrified his hearers by call
ing on them to prepare for
united action. Probably within
six weeks, says the spectral
"Colonel," the sign will be giv
en for the civilian uprising.
Meanwhile the people are to
lay plans to do the greatest
possible damage to the Nazis
by sabotage and other means.
Already France, Belgium, Nor
way, Holland and the countries
of eastern Europe have given
us many grisly examples of
what the invisible army can
accomplish. Almost every day
adds to the list. Mysterious
hands have been reaching out
of the darkness of the night
to snatch the lives of Ger
mans. Even broad daylight has
brought Its swiftly moving as
sassinations. Troop trins have
been wrecked, and bombs have
been thrown. In short, there
have been constant sabotage
and killings despite the warn
ings from "Colonel Britton" to
go alowly and not arouse Nazi
ire until the time Is ripe.
That the Nazis see the danger
Is shown by their wholesale
executions of hostages In an
effort to terrify the populations
into submission. Poland and
other countries have charged
the Germans with great mas
sacres. But slayings have only
made the fire of hatred burn
hotter:
Time of Eruption
Within Few Weeks
Fear that unrest might even
boil up In his own country was
Indicated In Hitler's reichstag
speech yesterday. His demand
for obedience from the people
carried a note of grave concern
to the ears of expert radio ob
servers in London.
Just when the all-out allied
axis clash will come Is still a
matter of conjecture. Probably
"Colonel Britton's guess that
the volcano will erupt in six
weeks or less is a fair one.
Of course, whatever else hap
pens, the titanic Russo-German
battle will Increase In Its bloody
Intensity as the ground dries
and becomes suitable for a war
of movement. Hitler said yes
terday that "It will be in east
ern Europe that this war will
be decided" and few would
dispute that observation.
The trend of events depends
considerably on whether the
Muscovites are able to keep the
ruehrer on the defensive along
the eastern front. If that hap
pens, and he finds himself un
able to launch a big scale of
fensive against the Reds, we
may see him lash out In some
other direction, while holding
his Russian line defensively.

From Washington. D. C.
Ship Sinking
Top Building;
Munitions Wait
Carrying Space
Mining For Gold
To Be Discouraged
, Bt John W. KaIIt
Washington. D C, April 27-
With merchant ships being sunk
faster than the yards In the
United Slates can launch new
vessels, some hifih ranking of
ficlals are looking askance at
the maritime commission. There
are not enough ships and not
enough under contract to break
the bottleneck There Is an
Increasing demand that the
commission give work to new
yards and furnish funds for new
ways. The shortage is so severe
that the commission has requi
sitioned every merchant vessel
still In private ownership, hut
this Is merelv a stop-nap.
Back In 1937 Joe P. Kennedy,
as chairman of the commission,
mad tha first survey oi Ih
American merchant marine and
reported to congress that It was
a very tick industry. He out
lined policy which, while
excellent then, Is outmoded by
recent events. Kennedy recom
mended that Instead of building
luxury liners the government
provide clipper airships for
passengers and freight. These
have been initiated since by
private enterprise. Kennedy,
since resigning as ambassador
to the court of St. James, has
been doing nothing. His last
contribution was a broadcast
in the presidential campaign in
which he appealed for a third
term for President Roosevelt.
Recently he offered his services'
at the White House for anything
he could do.
Mr. Kennedy's 1B37 report
warned that if the United States
was at war with a major power
the armed forces would require
1,000 ships of all sorts and a
tonnage of 5,000,000. These
however, explained Kennedy,
would be but a small portion
of the ships required if the war
was prolonged. Today it Is
estimated that 1,800 ships or
more will be required to move
troops to Europe and keep them
in supplies for one year. Then
there is need for more ships
for the Pacific theater of war.
AAA
WHARVES are now cluttered
with war material waiting for
ships to take tanks, planes
(crated), munitions and food
abroad. Production of muni
tions exceeds available ships.
This condition obtains at every
port Maritime commission has
placed contracts for many ships
in the northwest, but neither
these nor the contracts with
other yards are sufficient. One
criticism is that the commission
is still working on its long
range program, building high
grade vessels of the "C" type,
an elaborate boat designed to
be the merchant marine when
the war is over. These vessels
require time to build, whereas
what is now wanted is a simple,
plain ship that can be turned
out as rapidly as the "ugly
ducklings" listed for Vancouver
and Portland yards. The C
boats are building on Puget
sound. The commission Is very
proud of the C ships, and should
be, but they are designed for
after the war; what the govern-,
ment Is now demanding is more
and more ships less fancy and
quickly made.
As the heat Is applied to the
commission that body will let
more contracts for hurry-up
ships: where they will be as
signed is unknown, but the
commission has a policy of not
encouraging new yards. This
policy, too, is expected to change
and new yards will be opened
they must be if the neces
sary ships are to be produced.
There has been a prejudice by
the commission against wooden
ships, yet with the emergency
increasing, with demands for
steel for tanks and things, it
is within the realm of possi
bility that the northwest will
be turning out wooden ships
as was done in the first world
war. This Is something that
members of congress from Ore
gon and Washington, almost
without exception, has been
insisting upon for more than
a year. If the commission
agrees to wood ships It will be
because of dire necessity.
MINING for gold will be
discourascd In the mar future,
a program which will affect
gold dredging operations in
many parts of OreKn. and
minen in Washington. War pro-
durtion board will Issue the
order when it comes. Gold is
not as important as It once was.
Zinc, chromite, tunsMen, copper
re needed more than gold. Sil
ver mining is aNo declasse, and
conjiress is bring requested to
repeal the silver purchase act.
Secretary of the Treasury Mor

tons of silver to be used as a
substitute for copper. The order

EXPOSURE X
School teacher sends an article
on "Michigan Fever" which was
published in the January, 1942,
Michigan Edu
cation Journal.
The medical
author of the
article says the
common cold
li taking Its
usual toll and
Is sometl nil
called Michi
gan Fever. One
child who has
a cold comes
to school,
coughs In the
faces of other pupils and the
teacher . . . results are about
100 per cent exposure. What
can you (teacher) do with him?
Now here la a bit of strange
hygiene. The medical adviser
goes on:
"What can you do with him?
You can't send home every child
who has a common cold, because
in a very short time the school
rooms would be bare. You can
not control after-school expos
ures such as wet feet. . ."
First this medical or health
adviser uses the term exposure
in the scientific sense. Then he
talks himself into a corner and
gets out of it by using the term
exposure in the Pickwickian
sense.
This medical or health author
ity salves his conscience or saves
his face by saying:
"Most childhood contagious
diseases start with an upper re
spiratory Infection. Many times
what la termed the common cold
is the onset of something more
severe."
For Instance, suppose some
child coming down with measles,
scarlet fever, diphtheria or in
fantile paralysis comes to school
with "what is termed the com
mon cold." The child remains
in school a day or two, peppers
several other pupils with his in
faction, and in a short time there
is an "outbreak" or epidemic
and school room Is bare.
This report Just happens to
come from Michigan. Probably
there is no more confusion and
malpractice concerning the pre
vention of respiratory Infection
in. Michigan than there is in
every other community in the
country.
The medical or health adviser
offers some stereotyped advice:
"The best remedy is preven
tion by building up one's own
resistance as far as possible and
attempting to eliminate expos-

News
By Frank Jenkins,
ONE of the American planes
that bombed Japan the other
day lost It way (presumably)
and landed on Russian soil In
Siberia.
It was promptly Interned by
the Russians in accordance
with international regulations.
(Note that the plane had
FLOWN ON WESTWARD from
Japan. To get back to a carrier,
it would have had to return east
ward. It is unlikely that the pi
lot got off his course that badly.)
MOTE the promptness of Rus-
' slan adherence to strict neu
trality as between the United
States and Japan.
On April 13, less than two
weeks ago, Pravda, official sovi
et newspaper, warned the Japs
sharply to 'hew to the line" of
the Russian-Jap neutrality trea
ty, and added a warning that If
they go on "blabbering" about
war and Invasion (of Siberia)
they may get Into serious
trouble.
Having warned the Japs to re
main neutral, the Russians are
remaining carefully neutral
themselves.
DUSSIA, obviously, doesn't
want a fight with Japan at
her back door while she has
her hands full at the front door.
"THE Jap reaction (for publica-
tion) to the bomber intern
ment incident is Interesting. It
sounds like doves cooing in the
budding trees In the warm
springtime.
The Jap newspapers say pla
catingly there is "no reason why
Japan and Russia should quar
rel" and stress the fact that the
two countries are technically at
peace. And so on.
The Japs, who are pretty well
spread out themselves, may not
want war with Russia now. The
bomber bases at Vladivostok are
uncomfortably close.
Also they may be planning to
stab Russia in the back a la

ONE guesses that the realistic
Russians are not being great
ly misled by Japan's sugary
handling of the bomber landing
affair.
LORD Beaverbrook, addressing
the Bureau of Advertising of
the American Newspaper Pub
lishers association In New York,
calls for creation by Great Bri
tain of "vast second front
against Germany in Western
Europe while Russia still holds
the nazis In the east."
He says:
"Thi 1 a chance, an oppor
tunity, to bring the war to an
end here and now. But if the
Russians are defeated and driv
en out of the war, never will
such a chance come to us again."
He concludes:
"Strike out to help Russia.
Strike out violently. Strike ev
en RECKLESSLY."
TUOTE that Beaverbrook speaks
at about as public place as
he could find anywhere in the
world and hi statements
AREN'T censored. He is fairly
shouting to Hitler to LOOK OUT
for trouble in his rear about the
time he get into It good and
deep with the Russians on the
eastern fiont.
Hitler is being treated to the
same kind of war of nerves he
has been waging on his own ac
count for the past two and a
half years.
The purpose 1 to scare him
Into DIVIDING his forces at the
critical moment of the war,
"Divide and conquer" has
been Hitler's motto. He is get
ting it turned back on him at the
present moment.

UE Is shrewd enough, of
course, to know what Is go
ing on. But he knows also that
the British, with American help,
are getting strong enough to DO
SOMETHING.
He DOESN'T know when or
where the blow will fall if it
does fall. So he has to strengthen
his defense lines from Norway
to Spain.
That takes a lot of men and
equipment which could other
wise be used to splendid advan
tage against the Russians.
NAPOLEON'S downfall came
11-Kan h fnu. n ...
against him finally became so
numerous . that whenever he
turned from one front he ran
Into trouble on another.
That time is COMING to Hit
ler. It may be approaching now.

Napoleon did a lot of turning
and twisting before his fate fi
nally caught up with him. The
same will be true of Hitler.)
