Heroes of Britain
IN the jungles of Bataan peninsula on Luzon, a little
band of Americans and Filipinos under the inspiring
leadership of General Douglas MacArthur is writing one
of the brightest chapters in American war history.
Outnumbered, unsupported by adequate aviation, rely,
ing on cool courage and the ability to take advantage
of every natural feature of their peninsula stronghold,
the defenders of Luzon have fought off attack after attack
in a delaying action that is costing Japan valuable time
in its far eastern campaign.
The U. S. war department, which knows better than
to make false claims, declared in a communique this week
that the battle of Bataan has definitely established the
superiority of American arms. Given anything approach
ing equality in numbers, supplies and equipment, and
the American forces will come through in triumph. They
are doing a beautiful job on Luzon without it.
The lesson, of course, is clear. The job to be done
lies in production and transport. The war must be won
first in the fields and factories of continental United
States. Win it there, and men like General MacArthur
and the heroes of Bataan will win it on the field of battle.
Here in continental United States we are thrilled by
what is being done by the men on Bataan. We wonder
if the men on Bataan are thrilling to what is being done
here. ,
Precipitation Figures Needed
AGAIN, we must report that news media and the peo
ple of the Klamath country are being unfairly treated
in the matter of information on the weather. Before us
at the moment is a Eureka newspaper giving exact data
on the weather at Eureka, up to a time 36 hours before
the publication of that newspaper. Willamette valley
papers have been permitted to print delayed news about
weather conditions there. Here we go without any news,
stale or otherwise.
It happens that in the Klamath country, the matter
of a delay of two or three days in the dissemination of
weather information would not seriously affect the value
of the information. Here, water is king, for this is an
irrigation country. Here, seasonal precipitation data, even
though a few days old, is of vital economic interest, and
at least to the laymen there appears to be nothing in it
that could be helpful to the enemies of this country. This
newspaper has had requests for such information from
farmers and livestock men; it will publish it if and when
the government and army authorities permit.
We are not suggesting spot or current storm informa
tion be published. Seasonal precipitation information,
even a week old, would be of value here.
Better Stay Out
AMONG projects balked by the war Is expansion and re
habilitation of the city jail in the basement of the
city hall. There has been talk of extensive remodeling
and enlargement of the jail, if not construction of a new
building to house it. Now, because of inavailability of
materials, the whole thing is off.
Klamath's "clink" has been the subject of critical
comment by county grand juries as long as memory runs.
It is a dank, dark dungeon, definitely limited in facilities
for a pleasant sojourn. Bugs run up and down its dirty
walls. The beds are uninvitingly bare and hard. The
plumbing has been persistently haywire for years. As
grand juries have remarked, no city would be proud of it.
But about all that can be done now is to make some
minor improvements. The jail is going to go right on
being a disgrace in the eyes of county grand jurors. But
it is doubtful if the general public will worry about it
any more than it has in the past, if as much. There is,
after all, nothing to compel any person to reside in the
jail but his own cussedness or dereliction. The Klamath
jail is a good place to stay out of which isn't such an
inappropriate way for a jail to be, after all.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14 The
senate runaway on farm
prices was the result of some
very quiet scheming of few
farm bloc plotters on the senate
banking committee.
Mr. Roosevelt's price fixer,
Leon Henderson, had been lob
bying ardently around, but did
not suspect the reins were be
ing cut until one day the com
mittee tried to keep him out of
a hearing. He and Agriculture
Secretary Wickard were sitting
outside.
The committee called In Wick
ard, but said nothing about let
ting Henderson into their execu
tive session, on his own bill. He
literally elbowed his way through
the door, and there engaged both
Wickard and the farm blockers
hotly and heavily.
What had thrown him further
off their trail, was the fact that
a farm leader. Senator Bank
head, had made an agreement in
the committee to oppose the
O'Mahoney - Russell runaway
amendment (120 per cent of par
ity and up). Bankhead kept his
agreement. He .voted against It.
But it developed when the
vote was taken, he was not lead
ing the farm bloc this time.
When the tellers looked around
for the farm army usually be
hind him, it was discovered he
was a general standing alone.
o o o
COTTON AND POTATOES
By the time Mr. Henderson
and his busy boss, Mr. Roosevelt,
found they were faced with a
farm price boosting bill, it was
too late to stop the stampede.
The bulk of the final votes
against them were being con
tributed by their own leading
senators from southern states.
It was rather generally under
stood in the cloakrooms that cot
ton and potatoes would fare bet
ter than other commodities un
der the bill. Trying to stop a
southern senator after a cotton
price increase proved to be just
like stopping an axis tank with
a red light They felt labor had
been allowed to get away with
wage increases, and saw retribu
tion if not righteousness in their
own positions.
No one seemed very proud of
the senate afterward, however.
The debate had furnished no
recognition that a war was on.
Obviously many senators had
not raised their sights from the
November elections.
So FDR decided to take hold.
and work out some compromise
in the cloistered privacy of the
house and senate conference
committees which will fit in
closer with bis price limitation
purposes. That will be done.
o o o
TWO DIVISIONS ESCAPE
The nazis have escaped the
British trap in Libya with at
least two armored divisions in
tact. The British can hold Ben
gazi and use it as a base for
further operations when the sun
ken ships are cleared from the
harbor. But for the present,
hopes of pushing on to Tripoli
and perhaps into Italy, must be
held in abeyance.
Alexandria says sandstorms
let the nazi remnants get away,
but reinforcements which Gen
eral Rommel pushed in through
Tripoli were certainly equally
responsible. The nazis further
impeded the British with care
fully laid mine traps (abandoned
headquarters which would ex
plode when a pencil was lifted
from a desk, mined abandoned
tanks and vehicles.)
o o o
WAKING UP
Loss of Tarakan, chief oil port
of the Dutch East Indies, has
also let our military men know
a war is on, and that we can
lose it if we do not get our coats
off fast.
The pattern that Far Eastern
events are taking, are plain.
Small groups of Japs are able
to bring superior air, land and
sea forces to bear upon remote
extensive coastlines. They may
get away with it as long as their
bases are closer than ours to the
fighting spots.
Our fleet of submarines would
normally be thrown in upon
their line of supplies. As the
Japs move southward, the going
will therefore get tougher.
The secret of success in this
war Is no different from the
Civil war or Revolution, although
different weapons are used. Ex
pectations of victory require su
periority in numbers and equip
ment. not at home but at the
point of contact with the enemy.
Until we can bring superior
forces to bear upon the Japs and
nazis at points of our choosing,
we cannot reasonably expect too
much.
JUST STORIES
Stories are around that Amer
ican troops will serve under
British officers but that means
only in isolated cases. A regi
ment or two In Australia, for ex
ample, would serve under the
British, but a division would
have its own commander (acting

SAVE YOUR TAXES
To make it easier for taxpay
ers to meet the increased taxes
required by the national defense
program, the treasury depart
ment is offering for sale two
series of notes, both dated Aug
ust 1, 1941, and maturing Aug
ust 1. 1943.
In January of each year two
new series will be provided, so
that a taxpayer can always pur
chase notes during the entire
year in which he is receiving his
income for use in payment of
taxes due the following year.
The reason for the 2-year note is
to permit a taxpayer, if he so de
sires, to begin saving in January
of one year and continue through
that year to save for his taxes
due the following year.
All notes are sold at par and
accrued interest. When present
ed in payment of income taxes
they will be received at par and
accrued Interest up to and in
cluding the month in which such
taxes are paid. Interest will not
accrue beyond the maturity of
the notes. If not presented in
payment of income taxes, they
will- be redeemed for cash under
certain specified conditions at
the purchase price paid for the
notes. In other words, the tax
payer If he redeems the notes for
cash, gets back just the amount
he paid.
Complete information about
these Treasury notes will be
found in a treasury department
circular available at local banks,
federal reserve banks and
branches, or treasury depart
ment, Washington, D. C.

The Kid has gone to the colors;
It seems but a little while
Since he drilled a schoolboy

In a truly martini style.
But now he's a man, a soldier,

For his heart is a heart all loyal,
Unscourgcd by the curse of

CRYING TOWEL
Goodbye Hitler, goodbye Japs
Goodbye Mussolini with your

When you meet again in Bren

It will be different from the last
Each of you will bring your cry
ing towel.
Hitler tried to chase the Russians
out of Moscow
But the Russian Bear jut growl
ed and turned on him
The German army turned about.
Instead of victory it's a rout
Now the Russian army's headed
for Berlin.
Yes-man Mussolini is shaking In
his boots
What a tough spot that spaghetti
eater's in
He would like to call it nulla
Before Briton gives him fits
The yes-man Just can't take it
on the chin.
That yellow, cowardly attack on
Pearl Harbor
Means suicide, slow poison for
the Japs
They may taste victory for a

With their sneaky yellow smile
But they'll find the Yanks are
