mjfAC ARTHUR li still the big
m gest now of the Pacific
world.
Hero at hom hli appointment
hai led us out of the doldrums
of doubt. It haa fired endanger
ed Australia with now confidence
and enthusiasm.
EVERYWHERE he li accepted
aa the right man for tht place.
.
OTiE U the right man for the
place becauae:
1. He knows how to fight
Jap.
3. He Isn't hampered by the
' purely detcntlve thinking that
arose out of the (temporary su
premacy of the machine gun. He
haa shown In Bataan that he
knowa how and when to HIT
FIRST.
e
IN Justice to MacArthur, let's
Interject here word of cau
tion, i
Don't expect miracle. -If
you hired the best carpenter
In the world and told him to
build you a house In record time
but CAVE HIM INSUFFICIENT
TOOLS his progress would, be
low. ' ..-'
' K MacArthur Is to do th Job
Othat. haa been given, htm to do,
be must have sutflcien tools.
' The tools must com from the
factories here at home.
That is where WE come In. I
.... . t
AT this point, net's turn to
"Donald M. Nelson who has
been given the Job of PROVID
ING THE TOOLS.
In a speech in Washington last
night he gave America a new
promise to knock down all In
terference to war production,
whether from management hag
gling or union slow-ups.
Explaining the Importance of
time, he said:
"Here is what time 1 worth.
A machine gun factory IN FULL
SWING can equip a whole regi
ment in 36 hours of work. That's
why hours are Important. Every
minute counts."
pUT it to yourself this way:
A Every time a machine gun
factory is out of operation for
only 36 hours (for ANY reason)
a wholo regiment of American
soldiers is denied weapons.
The machine gun is still the
backbone of defensive warfare.
THE airplane is the backbone
ti mnriitm nffAniiliA warfnra.
Everytlme an airplane factory Is
down or siowod up, MacArtnur
' and his men are denied the wea
pons they must have If they are
.. to win.
AS to management's faults,
Nelson sold last night:
"Yet (In spite of the suprome
Importance of time) somo manu
facturers have come to the war
production board to plead for
Just a Jew extra months before
going into war production.
Some of them want to delay
over details.- Some of them arguo
O before awarding a sub-contract.
I know of a caso where 26 days
were wasted this way."
AS to labor's faults, ho said: '
"I know of cases where
workers in war plants have been
told by other workers by men
in tholr own unions to .keep
production' down, to take it easy,
not to hurry, to spread tho Job
out and mako the work last."
. .
"THAT is the way France fell.
, If we permit these things
to ' continue, the inexorable
Judgment of history will be that
AMERICA fell for the same rea
son. . ' V
We can't fight without weav
pons. ' r
We must HAVE THEM IN
TIME. . ' '
' , i
fnrHIS writer believes:
If wo lose this war, it will
be because of the shortcomings
of the politicians at home and
NOT because of any lack of
stamina and fighting courage on

Government to
Begin Issuing
War Reviews
WASHINGTON, March IB VP)
The high command soon will be
gin . issuing . authoritative . gen
eral reviews of the military sit
uation.
The innovation was announced
yesterday by the office of facta
an figure in a statement of the
government's war-time informa
tion policy.
That policy, OFF said, is "to
make public the maximum of
Information on military, naval,
production, and other matters
concerning the war, which can
be revealed without giving aid
to the enemy x x x "Based up
on tho firm conviction that the
people of a democracy are en
titled to know the facts, whoth-
er they are good or bad, cheor-
iui or depressing."
' Lists of men killed In action
will b. given out, but with the
stipulation that the press and
radio will' not publish nation
wide roundups but confine them
selves to listing the ' names of
casualties from tholr. own locali
ties. That modified somowhat a
previous censorship restriction
against publication of casualty
llstsi except, stories obtained in
a newspaper's local field ' from
tho next-of-kin of tho deceased
service man. . V
Even in the future, to prevent
valuable Information from sift
ing through to the enemy, the
rank and ratings of navy offi
cers, and men killed in action
will be withheld, ns will the
designation of units to which ar
my officer and. men were as
signed. ,'.
Paralleling the announcement
of forthcoming official reviews
of the military situation, the
statement said that "the war
production board will publish at
frequent Intervals a production
communique which will enable
the public to . Judge whether
the production program is prog
ressing satisfactorily-or not."

Chamber Objects
To Gas Rationing
In This Region
Chamber of commerce direct
ors Wednesday noon voted to
protest the Inclusion of Klamath,
Lake and Jackson counties In the
northwest gasoline rationing pro
gram. It was pointed out in the
directors' discussion that these
counties get their gasoline sup
plies by land transportation fa
cilities, and are not affected by
the tanker situation which is
the basis of gasoline rationing
for the northwest.
Rationing authorities will be
asked to place the southern Ore
gon counties In the same cate
gory with California, inasmuch
as their situation Is exactly the
same as that in California. There
is . no rationing contemplated
south of the border.
Gasoline companies here were
awaiting further Instruction on
the rationing, scheduled to start
Thursday. '

Although .an actual horoothg

lans to meet any emergency ef
ficiently so we wont have to
rely on the military which has
its own Job to do, we will have
done all we can," Owen stated.
Biggest worry In Oregon, as
well as all along the coast, is
the possibility of sabotage in the
great forests, Owen pointed out
A complete system for flre-flght-ing
in the forest is being care
fully laid out,' Owen explained,
with the state : forestry depart
ment working closely with the
OCD, training fire-fighters and
assembling fire-flghtlng equip
ment. ;
Within the next few weeks,
counties will receive small book
lets on what to do in event of
an air raid, for distribution.
These booklets, well-Illustrated
and with the text cut to the
bone, should give Oregontana a
clear idea of procedure,. Owen
