They are made more so by the recent British and Greek suc cesses, and the growing assistance to these allies from the United States. For these developments make an early nazi-f ascist complete victory unlikely, and in such a victory has lain the only real possibility for early cessation of hos tilities. No doubt most of the readers of this column feel with the writer that a nazi-dictated peace is worse than no peace, and look hopefully to the day when Germany and Italy will be knocked out or will yield on their knees to the British and their allies. They hope that the Greek and British successes in repulsing Italian offensives, and there after taking the offensive themselves, mean the turning point in the war. That may be so, but it may be a long distance from the turning point to the end of the fight The fact the Germans have been unable to beat down Britain is evi- dence that it will take a long time, should the British take the offensive against Germany, to break the nazi throttle- hold on the continent. There has been much wishful thinking about rebel lion and revolution inside Germany. There has been much wishful thinking about some Russian move against the nazis. Thus far, however, there has been little or no con crete evidence on which to predict any such developments. The situation at present is that the Germans hold the balance of strength, but are unable to deliver a knock' out blow to their foes, the British. The latter have with' stood terrific punishment with excellent morale; they have been bolstered by recent successes in the Balkans and Africa, and by increasing moral and material aid from the U. S. In other words, the pro-nazi balance has been partially offset, and this process may continue until the British hold the greater power. But even with the bal ance in their favor, the British will have plenty of trouble in bringing the war to a victorious finish ; there can be no real hope for that in the immediate future. It all means that the world is going to ba on a war time basis for a long time to come. Here in America, where we are ponderously getting ready for something, it is well to plan for the long pull Rear-End Smashes THE recent epidemic of rear-end accidents on slick pave' ments is probably due largely to two things : the ten' dency to follow other cars too closely, and the fact that on snowy roads cars that stop are Kept in the travel lanes because the drivers fear to drive off onto snow-covered shoulders. Narrative reports on the accident blanks filled out at tne shenif s office and police station frequently tell how a car stopped on the highway and a following driver sua denly found himself confronted with the stopped car and no surface underneath on which brakes were effective. The measures to be taken to avoid accidents of this nature are quite obvious. For one thing, do not drive as closely behind other cars as you do in the summer when it is possible to stop quickly on a dry surface. For another, know what is behind you when you prepare to stop for windshield scraping or some other reason, and do not pull up suddenly in front of a following car. If you can, keep going until you find a place where you can get off the traveling portion or the highway. News Behi nL"CKTd i nu ixm by PaulMailom, mm mm WASHINGTON, Jan. 8 Hitler is scheming to answer Mr. Roosevelt's declaration ot undy ing antagonism with a growling echo from the far east. Little Herr Echo's gumshoe diplomats u.ts were gliding tnrough the foreign - office corridor in Mntmur mnri Tokyo before FDR's promise of ultimate "victory" over the dic tatorships had died from the world's ear. They were at work in presumed secrecy to arrange a non-aggression pact between Russia and Japan, which would clear the way for the Japs to move threateningly further south toward Singapore. The same sort of diplomatic coup was promoted in the Wil helmstrasse quietly some months ago, but it- did not jell then. Russia wanted too much terri tory, as her price. Nippon re fused to meet it. It is established German pol icy to use the thin and bent end of the axis in the far east threat eningly against us, in order that we may be less inclined to part with our defensive weapons for Britain. The officially directed nazi press openly commented that "Japan will take care of the United States," after Mr, Roosevelt's fireside chat. The next break is, therefore. likely to develop there if Hitler can arrange it. SIDE GLANCES , COHt W41 ST MCA MtvKt. WC. T. ML Ma U. .

Marshall, army chief of staff, last night appealed to the nation for its "whole hearted support" to make the re armament drive successful, and aid an army "worthy of Amer ica" is on the way. He said In a radio interview the army has "an adequate sup ply" of materials for training purposes that, could be used ef fectively In combat but a press ing shortage of munitions exists because of the years of public indifference to questions of na tional defense. In answer to questions by CoL John Callan O'Laughlln, pub lisher of the official "Army and Navy Journal," Marshall said tne nation defense were as suming "definite shape" and now constitute "a broad and sound foundation on which to build the larger forces ordered by the people."

Several republicans begged off entirely. When you find democrats hesitating to point with pride and republicans dis inclined to view with alarm, you may know an unusual situation has arisen. The answer seemed to be that few understood from Mr. Roose velt's generalized terms, the full specific scope of what he had in mind. To the ear, the message sounded like a rewrite ot the fireside chat, a collection of truths that have become estab lished convictions in the minds of all Americans dictatorships art odious, Britain should be aid ed, slackers must be put down, But it is one thing for people to say what they think of Hitler, and something far more signifi cant for a president to proclaim these things as an official nation al aim. And when this aim is declared formally in connection with a program to establish democracy throughout the world, and coupled with com ment about undeclared wart of past U. S. history, you cannot blame legislators for wanting to stop to think for a day or two, dent's speech probably will be to drag this talk into the open. ... DYNAMITE To those who noted a slight restraint in the applause of con gress in comparison with previ ous similar occasions, let it be said that this, too, obviously represented lack of understand ing rather than lack of approval. As one southern democrat put it in the cloakroom: "It is hard to get enthusiastic when you are playing with dyna mite." The real comment will come when Mr. Roosevelt gets down to details. WORLD NEW DEAL To some it seemed Mr. Roose velt proposed to enter upon a new yorld era, smashing old hor izons of foreign policy, raising new conceptions of American re sponsibility for world manage ment in the interest of democ racy and peace something like a world new deal. This supposition may have been strengthened by what the legislators have heard in conver sation among those American diplomats who are looking ahead toward the end of the war. For some time, the notion has been kicking around in the executive branch that British management of world affairs has been broken down by the war (chiefly through the new power of the submarine and airplane) and that a new world control, like the moral order" of which Mr, Roosevelt spoke, must be under taken under new direction our's. ' This idea opens up impene trable vistas, embodying possibly a large permanent standing army (2,000,000 to 3,000,000 men), a fleet such as the two ocean program would mark merely a beginning, a wholly different domestic economy, for eign trade concept, foreign pol icy.

His violation of this, and many other promises, is proof positive that his word is absolutely worthless. The "Portland Orcgonian" in an admirable editorial says in part: "Such capacity for self pity (as Hitler has) verges on lunacy, and it may be indeed, as many suppose, that our world Is ; jslj snaKcn by the whim of a man." mad- WASIirNGTON, Jan. 8 (UP) President Roosevelt has for mally established his new super defense board which Immedi ately warned the nation every thing in national life soon must be subordinated to the necessi ties of prepnreciiu-ss. The board, to be known as tho "office for production manage meut," Is composed of William S. Knudsen, director general; Sidney Ilillmim, associate direc tor general; Secretary of War Henry L. Stlmson, and Secretary of tho Navy Frank Knox. It will hove executive as well as policy-making powers. Supersedes F. R. Board Mr. Roosevelt said the group would consult with him only when they disagreed on matters of vital policy. He emphasized the broad authority which the OPM will have, Including power to take over private industrial plants which refuse to cooperate In the defense drive. The board supersedes Mr. Roosevelt's clialrnuinless advis ory defense commission. It is viewed as his answer to demands of critics in and out of congress that he establish one man con trol over defense production. The agency was set up by presidential executive order. copies of which the president handed to correspondents along with an OPM statement plcud Ing for national cooperation.

A de- Brutal and Inhuman ' LANGELL VALLEY (To the Editor) An air raid took place over Liverpool (England) the other day. After the fire and smoke had cleared away, among the massacred were Mr. and Mrs. Mathers and their family, Joan (12), Joyce (10), Pat (8), Peter (8), David (4), a little baby 12 months old being the only survivor. As we know this is only one instance of hundreds of civilian deaths in England today as the result of air-raids. The late Prime Minister Chamberlain foresaw the trag edy which would befall Europe when at Munich he made super human efforts to appease and satisfy Hitler. To such ends did he go that It was mistaken as a sign of weakness on England's j part. Chamberlain took Hitler at his word, that when he had among us who still think it makes no difference who wins the desperate struggle taking place in turope, and that it is none of our business. Some of these people Intentionally or merely thoughtlessly, do the very things which Hitler and his fellow outlaw want them to do. in order to create discord. If ever we needed unity it is now, In order to make a supreme effort to re-arm and give all possible aid to Great Britain. i If England is victorious, the untold suffering and fear pre vailing in Europe will end. Peo ple will be able to return once again to their happy homes, which have been so ruthlessly outraged. Time and space permits only brief reference to a letter which appeared in your paper recently. We all deplore to see a "Vet" who has made many sacrifices for his country, in need or suf fering. The government has partially solved the problem. Undoubtedly there are still some worthy cases which. If brought io me attention or the proper authorities, would receive help. Regarding war debts, the very nation which today is the aggrcs- sire for wartime profits must be "sternly expressed," a n d thoughts of using the emergency for selfish advantage must be dismissed. Labor Warned Labor was assured it will not be asked to make sacrifices which others are not called upon to share, but was warned against seeking to "use its position Im properly." To industry, the OPM said: "Democracy Is fighting for Its very life In Us struggle to retain the principles of a live economic sysW-ni." To labor. It .said: "The whole system of collec tive harutiiniug and the rights of labor under our system of government and economy Is be ing challenged." To both itroiiiM and to the rest of the nutlon went this mes sage: "If the totalitarian forces of the world ure victorious, all the hard won rights of labor will be destroyed, and both eapilal and labor will become the Involun tary vassal of on all-powerful state." Labor nnd capital. It said, both "must work together harmoni ously if the United Slates is to make Its contribution to a demo cratic victory in the world." l.4MlllV Iv4'f4lll I I Ut'si rovr On Yirliy Arrlvnl VICHY.

The same nation by repudiating the just repara tions imposed upon It, sabotaged the debt repayment plan. In spite of this, England has re payed more than all other debtor nations combined, and even though passing through a severe financial depression still made "token" payments. Life In England Is as free as It is here. We have the same Ideals. We are a kindred people. The greatest tragedy in history will befall the world if she goes down to defeat on account of our failure to aid her in every way possible.
