The people aro now in a firm
and sacrificial mood, due to the
grimness of the Russian situa
tion. They want action on a
"Second Front" and less apple
sauce from the political side
lines. They feel the time has
come to strike, not in tha auto
plants of Michigan and the coal
mines of Pennsylvania, but at
Germany's backdoor. It won't
matter much how the New York
State election In November, or
the jurisdictional diipute In an
Indiana pickleworks come out
as long as the hordes of Hitler
run wild, fighting where they
choose, instead of where they
don't want to.

Has the Red Worm Turned?
Well there is one ray of sunshine in the war
gloom today, and the more rays we can gather the
better for the allied morale in these parlous times.
That "ray" is the announcement from Moscow
that at long last the long-heralded "Red army re
serves are marching in, and except in the extreme
south all German advances have been thrown back."
A Moscow paper follows this up by the encour
aging declaration that the Red army counterattacks
now in progress will develop into "a counter offensive
to regain the territories lost."

War Isn 't a Gtfeman 's Sport
Two news dispatches bring into sharp relief a
very serious problem, particularly as far as the British
in the Far East are concerned.
No. 1 is the story of a
from Batan who describes
by the attacking Japanese, so a certain assault could
be successfully made, these Japanese went to a
certain death so the attack of their comrades might
succeed. That emphasized the narrator was the
SPIRIT of the Japanese army.

allied military spokesman" in Australia answer

Japanese landing in New
"The new Japanese foothold In New Guinea offers no
special threat. It was Impossible to defend the Buna-Gona
area "without sacrificing the troops involved."
Without SACRIFICING the troops involved 1
Does that mean if the troons HAD been sacrificed
the Bona-Gona area COULD have been saved? If so
it is a damaging admission.
DERHAPS the allied withdrawal there was justi-
fied, i. e. not worth the sacrifice. We would
have to have more facts to claim the reverse.
BUT, our point is that

fied alibi from some allied spokesman all too
characteristic of the British army, as it has operated
in the Pacific area since December 7th.

man in Singapore, declared an inspection of the
British troops had been made, and they (particularly
the New Zealanders) were a tough and hardy lot,
certain to give an excellent account of themselves,
if the Japs tried any "funny business."
Well no doubt the Anzacs, and all the British
troops for that matter, DID fight bravely and well.
But only a short time later Singapore fell, and British
might and prestige in the Far East, fell with it.

allied forces in the "Southwest Pacific," after in

Tough no doubt and fit as well. But in view of
the past record, isn't even a peat admirer of Britain's
traditional pluck and stamina justified in inquiring
if they will prove tough ENOUGH?

ASEPSIS AND
According to recent investiga
tions the frequency of occurence
of tuberculosis of tha lung
among medical
student has
shown an en
couraging de
cline in the
past five years.
In 1938 a com

medical schools,
altho In some
medical schools where well es
tablished student health pro
grams are in effect the rate is as
low as 0.2 to 0.4 per cent.
Among the precautions taken
to prevent tuberculosis among
students of medicine most of
these would apply of course to
college students in general) are
(1) supervision of the student's
living and eating conditions; (2)
provision for regular exercise
and wholesome recreation; (3)
critical Investigation of the san
itary atmosphere of restaurant
or lunchroom or boarding house
and periodic medical, examina
tion of waiters or food handlers
or those who prepare the food In
such places, to make certain no
potential source of Infection is
overlooked; (4) tuberculin test
ing of all students as routine,
when they enter college, and X
ray of chest in every Instance if
the tuberculin test is positive.
It is a familiar observation
that college students, who may
have more knowledge than oth
ers of their age have but too
often lack wisdom, take lore,
chances with their health at a
period of growth and develop
ment when lifelong health habit
Is being acquired. That is. the
habit of keeping well, of giving
reasonable and sensible consid
eration to hygiene without be
coming at all cranky or morbid
about it. In that, as college life
goes, students of medicine are
not exceptional they are as
reckless or as foolish as college
students in general.
Some additional precautions
are necesary to protect medical
students, as well as interns, hos
pital staff physicians, nurses, at
tendants, laboratory technicians
and others of the hospital, clinic.

Siberia Barrier
Seen in AleuU
Litvinoff Beg
For Second Front
Kaiter Proposal
Worries Magnate
- y John W. Kelly
Washington, D. C, Aug. 6
Any day word may come that
the Japanese have invaded Si
beria, and the United States will
be helpless to go to Russia's as
sistance because the enemy is
creating a barrier in the Aleu
tian islands to keep back the
Americana. This is the statement
made by Maxim Litvinoff,
Soviet ambassador, to a group of
United States senators in a hide
away chamber in the national
capitol building. Litvinoff was
worried, depressed, and was ap
pealing to the senators to see
President Roosevelt and get
some action.
From personal sources of in
formation Litvinoff said he
knew that the Japanese are
moving troops toward the Siber
ian border preparatory to an at
tack while Russia is battling
Hitler's army. Possession of At
tu, Kiska, Agattu In the Aleu
tians and possibly the Pribiloff
islands by the Japanese prevents
America sending an expedition
ary force to Siberia. American
aid is blocked until the Japs are
kicked out of the Aleutians.
With Japs In control of the Si
berian situation, there would be
even more need of opening a
second front in Europe, and this
is urgent, said Litvinoff. The
Reds can not hold out indefinite
ly against Hitier and they are
fighting now in the hope that
German pressure will be re
lieved through a second front.
Foreign Commissar Molotov
(Mr. Brown to people who met
him In the grounds of the White
House) conferred with President
Roosevelt and with Winston
Churchill, but nothing has hap
pened. The President and Chur
chill talked and talked but there
is no action.
e e
UNITED States has been and
is sending tanks and other ma
terial to Russia via Archangel
and Murmansk (with heavy
losses from submarine and plane
attacks), where unloading facil
ities are limited. Discontinue
shipments to Russia, said the
ambassador, and use the vessels
to move trops from England into
Belgium and to carry supplies
to American troops, all under
heavy convoy. (Not a single
American soldier has been lost
on the transports to Northern
Ireland and England). This
would break the shipping bottle
necks so far as transports to
Europe is concerned.
These things must be done
without delay (the second front)
If done at all, said Litvinoff,
who begged for less conversa
tion and more action.
There is now in England and
Northern Ireland X thousands
of American soldiers. These X
thousands are fully equipped
with another X thousands of
tanks, trucks, airplanes. Eng
land has 2.S00.000 troops at
home, 500.000 trained essential
ly for home defense. The 2.000,-
000 British troops plus the X
thousands of Americans should
be shipped across the English
channel and landed in Belgium
for an invasion of Germany.
Hitler cannot afford to Ignore a
threatened Invasion and would
withdraw a substantial part of
his army In R'usia to defend the
homeland, argued Litvinoff.
e e
Senators who listened to the
Impassioned plea of the ambas
sador gained the impression that
Russia Is In a very bad way: that
unless a second front Is opened
up within a few weeks Stalin
ma y consider terms of peace
with Hitler. And that would be
a mess.
The British, whose command
ing officers have not scored on
any battlefront. are insisting
that a British officer be general
issimo of the Anglo-American
force when Mr. Roosevelt and
Churchill decide they are ready
to invade Europe.

fic. THE reason that the price of
Jams and Jellie has skyrocketed
through the ceiling set by OPA
is because of the refusal of con
gress to authorize that agency to
subsidize the canneries. It was
planned to have canneries pay
grower an increased price and
the canneries then sell the prod
uct at the prices for the 1941

With no subsidy the increased
cost Is now being passed on to
consumers, who were to have

Communications
Patriotism vs. Greed
To the editor: When Camp
White became a reality, the
housing situation in Medford be
came a big issue. Much planning
had been " done by local civic
authorities to house the con
struction workers, and the re-
I suits of this planning were very
gratifying. The local authorities
!are to be commended on the ef
ficient manner in which thou
sands of workmen and their
families were housed. Very few
towns the size of Medford have
been able to handle such a situa
tion efficiently. Congratulations
are in order, Medfordites!
Now, that the camp is hear
ing completion, the picture be
gin to change. The workmen
are moving on to another Job
and the soldiers are moving in.
Officers are bringing their fam
ilies, so the demand for housing
again increases. Rents again
have an upward trend because
of the demand. The landlord has
a gleam in his eye and an Itchy
palm. The little green devil in
the Almighty dollar rears Its
head. Patriotism and foresight
are warped by the little green
devil.
Old timers are being asked to
"vacate" In order to make room
for the army. This is the reason
used, but the rent is doubled, so
what is the reason? Certainly
not patriotism! Certainly not at
the request of the army I It js
not the intent of the army that
civilians be "ousted" from their
houses to make room for offi
cers. Why was Camp White
built? To house the officers and
enlisted men! This is warl Civil
ians and soldier are tn it alike.
All are urged to do their part.
All must do their part.
So! Landlords! Don't forget
that "you can't take It with you"

When shall we ever see him
back again?
And later came a package, par
cel post,
Containing things that broke
our hearts almost;
A suit of clothes, that was his
very best,
His shoes, white hirt, blue tie
and all the rest.
From our north he has been sent
to the south,
Marching under hot sun see
that firm mouth
Set grimly for the task that must
be done,
To fight the battles till our war
is won.
Dad.
