FULL TO IS,
Editor'! Note: The outlook
(or tha forces of the ABCD
powers In the Singapore area is
explained by the United Press
naval critic in the following
dispatch.
Br REAR ADMIRAL YATES
STIRLING JR.
USN Retired
United Press NstsI Critic
It still is too early to forecast
whether or not the defense of
Singapore will be successful but
it must be admitted that dis
patches to date are not reassur
ing.
On tha basis of present infor
mation it would appear that
the Japanese do not succeed in
bringing Singapore under siege
within the next few weeks
will be because they are not as
good as they have appeared in
the "sneak" attack on Hawaii
and their operations in the Phil
ippines.
In other words the Japanese
ought to be able to take Singa
pore if they continue to show
the same efficiency they have
shown in all their operations
since they started the Pacific
war on December 7-8.
They have the advantage of
superiority in the air. at sea
and on land and of short lines
of communication. All reports
so far indicate that the coopera
tion between all branches of
their armed services has been
excellent and that they have
taken full advantage of their
superiority in all departments.
The whole tide of battle, of
course, could be turned, if the
defending ABCD powers sere
able to obtain aerial superiori
ty. But that seems impossible.
Fighter planes are needed and
they must be transported by
ship. The distances are too
great, it would appear, for
large reinforcements to arrive
in time.
Hence the eventual loss of
Singapore is a possibility that
must be envisaged. That it is
envisaged is indicated in frag'
mentary reports from Australia
and The Netherlands Indies.
Military preparations are going
forward at high speed in both
these areas and one may as
sume, on the basis of President
Roosevelt's message to congress.
that we are sending large forces
to both regions. Some of our
sea forces, indeed, are known
already to be based on The
Netherlands Indies and they are
likely to be joined very shortly
by large contingents of Ameri
can soldiers.
If Singapore falls the final
phase of the present Japanese
operations to win East Asia may
be fought in Java and the ad
jacent Dutch islands. We should
be able to get to the scene of
this possible battle zone a con
siderable number of soldiers
with supporting air and sea
strength. But the question is
whether the number will be
enough.

NEW PEACE SCHEME
NEW YORK. Jan. 8 (UPV
Rosika Schwlmmer, who In 1915
persuaded Henry Ford to launch
the ill-fated "peace ship," Tues
day disclosed she has asked him
for new help In establishing "the
peace of the earth."
She proposes that he turn over
one of his estates and some of
his millions for a "provisional
world government."
Madame Schwlmmer said she
first requested Ford to partici
pate in another world peace
movement in a letter to him on
his 79th birthday in 1938 and
that she had renewed her plea
in a letter written the day before
Christmas, 1941.
Ford has not answered, she
said.
"The hope of this blood-soaked
globe lies in world government,"
said the famous Hungarian-born
feminist whose hair has grown
gray, but whose eyes have lost
none of their sparkle in her
struggles for peace on earth.
A provisional world govern
ment, Madame Schwlmmer said,
could:
1. Draft a constitution for
adoption by nations in a world
federation.
2. Draw up a chart showing
the world s prime resources and
needs, as understood by econ
omists and engineers.
3. Study health needs of the
world, such as stamping out com
municable diseases, clearing
swamps and other health men
aces.
4. Plan projects, a kind of
world public works program, to
open hitherto uninhabitable re
gions of the earth.
We need an estate as a site
for a provisional world govern
ment,' Madame Schwiramer said.
'Mr. Ford is the ideal person
to give it. He always has been
interested in world peace. He
has been a great innovator all
his life constantly doing the
impossible."
"I cannot wish you on your
seventy-fifth birthday anything
oetier man that it may be given
you to see the practical ideal of
world peace established within
the frame of an all-inclusive,
democratic, non-military feder
ation of nations brought about
with your participation," the in
ternationally known peace advo
cate wrote Ford.
"We have so many provisional
governments now," Madame
Schwimmer said, "why not a pro
visional world government? It
could be open to all nations who
want to send representatives.
Every country has some states
man or economist whose integ
rity is above question and who
enjoys the confidence of the Deo-
pie.
"The work of a provisional
world government would not in
terfere with the conduct of the
present war. But the conference
would have something to offer
us when the present struggles
are over.
Many a grievance Is washed
away with a little amplication of
soft soap.

Tacoma Tires of
Providing Free
Card Club Room
TACOMA, Jan. 8 W) If
Utilities Commissioner R.
O'Neil has his way Tacoma
clubwomen will have to rent or
use their own facilities for card
parties in the future.
For years the city light de
partment has sponsored a dem
onstration room to which vari
ous clubs have been invited for
a short lecture intended to in
duce them to use more electrical
appliances and electricity, fol
lowed by a 50 cent luncheon
and rent free use of the room

000 annually to operate, indud
tng the cost of the meals.
