Official pessimists frequently
predict the war against Japan
will last another year to two or
three, because 'it is a different
war,' than the one waged against
Germany, To the casual non
combatant, however, it bears a
strong resemblance, in all vital
details. Sam death, same hor
ror, same hell, same suffering,
same atrocities, same everything.
Nothing is different but the com'
plsxion of the foe, and the geog-
raphy of tha battlefields. The
folding up and finish will be the
same. Tha Jap will cringe, and
claim to be Chinamen, as the
Nazis cringed, and posed as
Poles.

Mild agitation anent 'redistrl-
butlon of the wealth' of the land
In the post-wai period prevails.
One of the great troubles of the
scheme has been the willingness
of the masses, to whack up
everybody's wealth but their
own. Re-distrlbutlon of poverty
has more appeal. There is too
much of it, and more people have

Carma Answers Margie
To the editor, Answering
Margie: What Carma is short of,
including good sense and red
points, doesn't matter one pica
yune to the general public. It
is always bad business to make
a personal issue of a common
problem. In her zeal to dis.
agree, Margie has only succeed
ed in corroborating my state
ment, that the boys over there
are hungry for goodies not avail
able and are flabbergasted to
find there is a shortage of the
same at home. Really now, are
the boys fighting to form a more
decent world for home and the
future, only to learn we have
stymied their efforts?
We are as snarled up as a frog
ln a ball of yarn, in the tangle
of supply and distribution, this
point-changing, price-fixing and
price-changing. We have built
a huge clock a good clock in
theory with a case of alphabeti
cal offices. But the wheels have
run in conflict have kicked
backwards until the clock
doesn't tick any more. A bona
fide shortage of the products
mentioned is accepted without a
murmur by any American, but
a shortage created by mistaken
timing and judgment and the di
verting of such products to ul
terior purposes, propagates a dis
content and questions as to
whether we are progressing or
sticking our heads in the sand.
To be forewarned is to be
forearmed, they say. Some real
shortages have been formed in
this manner. For instance,
Bowles announces a shortage of
fuel oil for next winter. Im
mediately, we break a leg tank
ing and over-tanking. Someone
only has to cry "wolf" and the
wolf pack breaks Into cry. Yes,
America is the best fed nation
and we can and probably will
feed the multitude with our
loaves and fishes, but not if they
are to be hoarded in storage and
let rot. Not if they are aborted
from the natural channels and
shunted Into the sloughs.

Humming Birds t Cetera
To the editor. July means
thinking of vacationing Iti the
higher mountains. Young nature
lovers there, may add a new bird
to their lists of acquaintance.
One of our smallest, it is the
calliope hummingbird. Upon
awakening from the sound sleep
that can only come in a sleeping
bag in the high Sierras, one
sometimes sees a hummingbird
flashing a bit of Jewel color.
Often It feeds on the brilliant
red Indian paintbrushes. Few
recall that the covered wagon
youngsters, who christened these
gorgeous wild flowers, had teen
with their own eyes the horribly
painted Sioux, who later were
to massacre General Custer's
battalion.
The eastern United States has
only one species, the mby
throated hummingbird. Califor
nia, however, has six. One re
sult of studying California hum
mingbirds will be to cause one,
when one grows older, want to
go south till one is where there
are hundreds of kinds of hum
mers. "Kiss-flowers," the Teru-,
vian Indians call them. The
real hummingbird land stretches
from Guatemala to Brazil. It is
a land of parrot flocks common
as blackbirds there, of scream'
ing monkeys, of tiger-like ja
guars, of anacondas used, when
small, as mousers lieu house cats.
Yes, if one studies California's
six hummingbirds, one will later
have the urge to tread jungle
trails.

Veteran Agrees With Carma
To the editor, I would like
to ask Margie Stevenson to make
public her recipe for getting
chickens to produce milk, but
ter, cheese and sugar which she
ridiculed Mrs. Carma McCarty
tor her inability to do so.
It Is most terrible to distruo
tively criticise Carma for her
communication on the sugar
shortage unless Margie does
have a suitable plan to get
chickens to produce the above
mentioned rationed commodities
I am in the lumber business
and I too, would like to know
how I can get these articles of
food.
As a veteran with nearly two
years overseas service, I have to
agree with Mrs. McCarty as to
the food going to the service. If
the boys were getting this food
