WASHINGTON, Jan. 24 Bril
liant and sly General
Douglas MacArttuir prearranged
a schema with his forces, where
by any units cut off by his with
drawal, would take to the hills
and prey upon the backs of the
Japanese in the manner of the
Philippine hero Aguinaldo. until
their ammunition ran out.
Behind the terse mention in
war department communique
No. 68 of an unidentified Ameri
can unit raiding a Jap airport
far in the north of Luton prov
ince, lies the swashbuckling tale
of a cavalry unit, riding and
fighting in the depths of Japanese-occupied
territory, beyond
rescue or relief, preparing to
stand until the last man it gone.
Several such units are loose
among the Japanese in Luzon !
and at least one more in Mind-1

SIDE GLANCES
moun
f enses have been built to "unprecedented levels.
' Offhand, one would say, the term "unprecedented
levels" doesn't necessarily mean very much. The Pacific
coast has never been supplied with much military defense,
and it wouldn't have to have muth to reach an "unpre
cedented level." However, the authority who was quoted
in' the interesting Washington dispatch must have intended
to convey the idea that coast defenses have been strength
ened to a level believed somewhere near adequacy for the
time being. We accept that meaning, at any rate, with
fervid hope that "adequacy" will not only be reached but
exceeded by a steady strengthening of the forces on the
coast.
We know, too, that we are going to have to rely heavily
upon airplanes in the defense of the Pacific coast.
It takes a long time to build a ship. The United States
navy is divided between two oceans, and it has a big job in
the Far East The extent it can be used in defending the
coast may be limited.
But that need not be a matter of serious' concern if we
have the air power. In comparison with ships, it takes a
short time to build an airplane. The America that has
amazed the world with automobile production can turn out
the planes in like fashion.
? And planes should be effective in fighting off any pos
sible air attack on the Pacific coast and in combatting
enemy naval units off our shores.
i
5 In the dispatch mentioned above, the government
spokesman said that "huge numbers of men and planes"
w;ere moved to the coast during the operations that im
mediately followed the outbreak of war.
Presumably, as great numbers of planes have been
moved into the coast country, plans have been made for
basing them widely over the area,' so they can be ready
for both defensive or offensive action against the enemy
in any part of the coast or off any part of the coast
v That is what people on the coast want and as this
process proceeds the morale and confidence of the people
in tms area win increase,
f
t In connection with the coast defense story, we are all
now well aware that there has been tremendous movement
of troops through this area. The government spokesman
said that during the first few weeks after the war started,
approximately 600,000 men were moved.
I Railroads played an important part in this great pro
gram. A prominent railroad president described the job
as "miraculous" and we are ready to believe it.
( We must not underestimate the possibility of an air in
vasion of the Pacific coast. There is no reason to be jit
tery about such a thing, and it is possible it may never come.
But it is conceivable the Japanese will at least try "token"
attacks designed to shatter morale of the civil population.
f For this reason, complacency and indifference must not
be permitted to weaken our civilian defense program. We
must fight these things with determination. We must pro
ceed now with this whole program, preparing ourselves
for any emergency hoping it doesn't come but knowing
vvuai. w e win uu n it, aoes.

ramifications. There are literally dozens of meetings being
icju every ween mat are a part oi the defense effort.
People are giving hours of their time to this work. Hundreds
vf men ana women are engaging in some form of defense
activity.
That is as it should be. The time is not wasted. These
people are sensible and foresighted. They deserve en
couragement and appreciation from all of us. M. E.
troopers and Filipino descend
ants of that same Aguinaldo'i
band, mindful that their old
hero defied the forces of the U.
S. government successfully in
those same hills for nearly two
years, before becoming a good

RADIO CONTACT
The semi-civilized mountain
tribesmen still use bows and ar
rows, are not accustomed to
firearms. It is unlikely that
the isolated MacArthur forces
have cared to waste ammunition
by attempting to re-arm or enlist
these tribes. But the lost regu-1
tars obviously have radio con
tact with MacArthur.
Pasture lands are available
for their horses and they can
get food. Their problem will be
ammunition. They may have to
rely on what they can caoture
from the Japs, although Amerl
can bombers are now within
reaching distance of their lairs
and may be able to fly over
and drop some supplies.
Far to the south of Mindanao
island in the province of Davao
another American unit was
forced by the Jap advance to
retire to the hills. Here as in
Luzon, the Japs control the sea
ports and bases, and therefore
rescue is unlikely.
The stirring deeds of all these
surrounded units already have
guaranteed them a special in
spiring niche in history along
side their inspiring forebears,
Stuart and Mosby, and the gar
rison of Wake island.

IMPORTANT RED TRIUMPH
Importance of the red capture
of Mozhaisk lies in its strategic
geographic significance. From
that point to Leningrad run the
Valdai hills, 1200 to 1500 feet
nign, and easily defended. The
whole German defensive posi
tion on the Moscow-Leningrad
front rested upon these hill.
The nazis could not be driven
out as long as they held Moz
haisk and Vyazma to the south.
But now, the reds may be able
to cut their way up past Vyazma,
get into the rear of the Germans
in the hills and force their with
drawal, relieving the whole Len
ingrad area.

lensk. As the ground is frozen
they cannot now dig in, cannot
pour concrete. They are pro
tected somewhat by chest-deep
snow. Their withdrawal frnm
Mozhaisk was skillful. They had
i.ju,uuu men m the pocket two
weeks ago and prevented the
reds closing the jaws of the
pincers and ft surrounding them.
In the end they apparently
escaped with most of the three
divisions left behind as a rear
guard. Even so, their predica
ment Is worth the cheering the
reds have given it.
FINS WEARY
A slight push now should edee
Finland out of the war and into
a separate peace. Their food
and equipment is running low.
Trusted reports are heard that
the German troops among them
are being thinned out by Hitler
Q. How is Lewisite recog
nized? A. Both vapor and liquid
have a strong odor of geran
iums. The liquid is of an oily
consistency, running to greens
ana browns.
Q. What are its effects on
the body?
A. Very similar to mustard
gas but it is more easily recog
nized for if inhaled for a few
moments it produces irritation
and a burning sensation in the
nostrils, and one has a sharp,
tingling sensation if the liquid
touches the skin. The later
symptoms are also similar to
those of mustard gas, but also
include an intense itching.
Q. What is the first aid treat
ment? A. The itching may be re
lieved by using a saturated
solution of baking soda or a

of tho Lumber and Sawmill

So We Will Win
Labor must build the planes,
tanks, and guns with which
America will ultimately achieve
complete and unqualified vic
tory over the forces of totalitar
ianism. But labor also has an
other equally important re
sponsibility, that of buyinff de
fense bonds to enable the gov
ernment to build the sorely
needed armaments.
Labor's response to tho de
fense bond drive has been mac
nificent. Millions upon millions
havo been poured into Uncle
Sam's coffers by loyal men and
women in all parts of tha nn
lion. That stream is going to
swell us the months roll by.
As far as the Lumber and Saw
mill Workers Union is con
cerned, we doubt if there is a
single member who docs not at
least own one bond. A bulk of
our dollars without profit.
