In a Nation at War
INTO the consciousness of awakening Americans Monday
morning came the realization that we are a nation at
war. It was no dream those black headlines, those radio
dispatches, those planes droning over a huge American
navy base and raining death and destruction there. It
all happened yesterday. Today, we are at war.
In Klamath Falls, and throughout the land, every good
American citizen is asking: What is the job I must do
now to help win this war? The individual answer is rela
tively simple for those in the armed forces, or those who
may join them. They know their duties will be told to
them, and they will execute them with courage and honor.
But armies and navies no longer fight the whole war.
France had a huge army but France fell because it did
not have a strong, determined, united people behind its
army. Even had France produced the tools of war more
effectively, it still could not have won, because some
thing else was lacking. If the United States is to win the
conflict upon which it is now launched, it must have what
France didn't have. It must have a united, determined
people, it must produce without stoppage for petty dis
sension, it must sacrifice, it must FIGHT as a nation and
as a whole people who love and believe in what they are
lighting for. That is a big assignment, but not too big.
To the individual, there can be no better advice at
the moment than to keep cool. Hysterical people are in
efficient people, and your country needs efficiency. Keep
cool, and whatever your job is in shop, in office, on a
farm, on a railroad, on the road, in a mill do it well. It
may seem little to you, but it counts in something big.
In successful modern warfare ves. we are ens-acred
in warfare civilians not only make the wheels of their
nation s economy run smoothly, but they are prepared
for every eventuality that may require their cooperation
and help in either defensive or offensive activity growing
out of military operations.
In the.United States, these functions have been grouped
: under the heading "civilian defense." In Klamath county
and the other counties of the Midland Empire, ground-
wotk nas aireaay oeen done in civilian defense. Now
this activity must be stepped up there can no longer be
indifference or delay.
Between 2000 and 3000 persons registered here under
tne civilian defense program last summer. Many of these
people have since moved away, and considering the size
of the community, the proportion actually registered is
nor. as large as it should be. The thing to do now is to
increase this registration, and all who have not registered
should lose no time in addintr their name tn th mil
A civilian defense council has been set up to direct
this activity. Its needs and advice to citizens will be well
publicized. Those who want to do their part will act ac
cordingly, iet us make this a community that is alert,
cooperative, industrious, and can be counted upon to do
v its job whatever it may bewith efficiency and speed.
No one knows what the next few months will bring.
We live on the west coast, on the rim of the Pacific where
hostilities flame. The war, once so remote, is at our door.
But there is no fright, nor cause for fright Let con
fidence be the watchword, but let it be confidence borne
of a realization that we are preparing quickly for every
eventuality of a serious situation. M. E.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
CHURCHES
"God the Only Cause and Cre
ator" was the subject of the Lesson-Sermon
in all Churches of
Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, De-
cemoer 7.
The Golden Text was, "Thou
art worthy, O Lord, to receive
glory and honor and power: for
thou hast created all things, and
for thy pleasure they are and
were created" CRev. 4:11).
Among the citations which
comprised the Lesson-Sermon
was the following from the
Bible: "O come, let us worship
and bow down: let us kneel be
fore the. Lord our maker. For
he is our God; and we are the
people of his pasture, and the
sheep of his hand" (Ps. 99:6,7).
The Lesson-Sermon also in
cluded the following correlative
passages from the Christian
Science textbook, "Science and
Health With Key to the Serin.
tures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "To
grasp the reality and order nf
being in Its Science, you must
begin by reckoning God as the
mvine principle of all that really
s. All substance, intell eencc.
wisaom, D e i n g, immortality,
cause, and effect belong to OoH
These are His attributes, the
eternal manifestations of th In,
finite divine Principle, Love"
(p. zyd;.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 8 Mr.
Stimson fumed nasty words
at the newspaper which printed
an obviously authentic U. S.
military report suggesting that
FDR should make ready a new
AEF of 9,000,000 men to clean
the nazis out of Europe in the
summer of 1943. "Unpatriotic"
and "gratifying to our potential
enemies" he called it.
But Col. Bill Donovan, head of
FDR's office of information did
not think so. He had the news
story (from the critical Chicago
Tribune) translated into many
different languages and short
waved all over Europe, Asia and
Africa on official U. S. propa
ganda programs, (although not
to Latin America, because that
is Cultural Director Rockefel
ler's bailiwick).
No government authority ex
cept Mr. Stimson became very
angry. Others apparently had
the notion the news would be
most gratifying to Britain, and
least gratifying to Hitler. Their
tone encouraged a suspicion that
the document may have been left
lying around loose in a certain
spot as a "trial balloon." desien
ed to prepare public opinion
cautiously on the subject of an
AF.
It is an Irrefutable fact Mr,
itooseveirs military men unani-
mously have considered an AEF
would no doubt eventually be
demanded of them. It has been
the diplomatic wing of this gov
ernment which has leaned most
heavily upon the expectation
mat Germany would collapse internally.
SIDE GLANCES

THAILAND
The Jap threat to go into
Thailand to arouse highly au-
moriiative shudders here from
the beginning of the Kurusu-
noosevelt conversations.
Mr. Roosevelt's military men
saw we venture as a hazardous
undertaking from the Tokyo
standpoint and could not believe
the Japs would be foolish enough
to try it or would win if they
did. That wo?d was passed along
to the boss and helped to guide
his course.
To sustain such an invasion,
the Japs- will have to maintain
a ship supply line past the Brit
ish stronghold at Hongkong and
near a substantial concentration
of American bombers at the
Philippine island of Luzon. Both
British and American subs can
also ply against that exposed
line.
The only ultimate objective of
me invasion was to bring the
Japs closer to the Burma road.

Quiz
Q. Why does a great part of
the responsibility for success of
the defense savings program be
long to the women of the na
tion?
A. Women are estimated to
control about 70 per cent of the
total national wealth: about two-
thirds of the savings accounts
are in women's names; women
receive a billion dollars a year
as insurance beneficiaries; more
often than not wives handle the
family finances. Women have
the money to buy defense sav
ings bonds and stamps.
Q. How can a union support
the defense savings program?
A. Through purchase by the
national and local offices of
Series F and O defense savings
bonds with union funds; and
through encouragement of de
fense savings bond and stamp
Duying Dy individual members.
Note To buy defense bonds
and stamps, go to the nearest
postoffice, bank, or savings and
loan association; or write to the
Treasurer of the United States,
Washington, D. C. Also stamps
are now on sale at retail stores.
