THE Jap, through the execution of sevenl of

capacity of the Americans for
anger. They have over-rated
their own strength, whatever
that may be.
They seek now to. frighten
Americans by implying that
any fighter, captured in bomb
ing flights over Japan proper,
will be executed.
Americana do not frighten that easily.
It is not fear that slows the American war
ffort. Apathy, Internal dissension, selfishness,
and an Inherent dislike for war, are the factors
that endanger the most vigorous prosecution
of the war.
Surely, the disclosure of the slaughter of our
defenseless men, in violation Df ' international
law and the rules of human decency, will
eliminate each of these obstructive elements.
In the face of what has happened, how can
there be indifference toward the war or failure
further to realize the kind of enemy we have
In the Pacific? How can there be selfishness
and disunity, when it is clear that only through
united effort Will we bring the perpetrators of
this crime to early justice? What is left but
for every lover of peace to turn to war, bitterly
and vigorously prosecuted, as the only solution
of the situation In which we find ourselves?
Eyes Toward Japan!
OUT of the Tokyo incident will surely come
as awakening, in the Middle West and
last, to the realities of the war in the Pacific.
We face in the west a barbarous and savage
enemy, far worse than the Germans under Hitler,
and not to be compared with the Italians and
the Finns'.
Thus far, that enemy has benefitted steadily
by the fascination of Washington with Europe.
. The officials at Washington, and the leaders
of the armed forces of this country, did hot be-
Jieve there could be the treachery that occurred
at Pearl Harbor. They misjudged the Japanese
then, and there Is reason to believe that since "
then they have kept the Pacific war In a sec
ondary position In their thoughts, their senti
ments, and their planning.
In Europe, toward which primary interest has
been directed, we have powerful help. In the
pacific our Allies have less strength; and Rus- .
sia, arch-foe of our European enemies, is not
even at war with Japan.
We have a bitter war on our hands' In the
Pacific, and a long way to go to win it That
i pretty rwell understood on the Pacific coast,
which face the enemy that executed the Tokyo .
fliers, but. even here there Is a need for a new
'alertness and Increased effort in every phase of
the war' program. ,
- The Tokyo incident, we believe,. will provide
the change in spirit and the awakening incentive
that is needed. If it doesn't, something even
more terrible will have to do it later.
The sooner we give this war all we have,
from the little bond buyer, the civilian defense :
worker, the Bed Cross bandage: folder, to the
prosecution of the military effort, the better
our chances of winning the struggle and, of
saving American lives.
Give It to Ut y
THE Tokyo bombing occurred a year ago.
Many of the details 'were withheld from
the American public until this week, and it ap-'
peart that the story of the execution was with
held for several weeks after the facts were
definitely established.
There is a need for getting this war into our.
systems in its full significance as soon as pos
sible. Let there be no unnecessary delays in
telling us the truth and telling: us: the worst.
Turning on and turning off the information
like a faucet is bad business. 'Saving it for
special occasions is foolish. Let's have it while
it is hot.
An aroused people is a winning people. There
is plenty in this war to arouse them, .if they are
told about it before it goes stale! .
Our Work
THIS occasion should not pass without another
word for the various departments of local
war effort civilian defense, Red. Cross work,
bond buying.
Our fighting men need surgical bandages.
They need many articles that are made by the
Red Cross. They need the equipment which
bonds buy. ' Our home defenses need strengthen- '
ing and tightening, for the' enemy which saw
its capital bombed a year ago may well be ex
pected to attempt a retaliation on our coast.
For the sake of the men who fight our bar- :
baric enemy, and for the sake of the things
they are fighting for, we must not shirk. From
home must come the added : strength needed
to deliver the punch that wins the war.
MALLOR
Br PAUL MALL ON
WASHINGTON, April aa The charge has
been mad in the press that much of the
housewife's trouble in getting enough food at
the grocery is due to govern
ment over-buying and waste!
of foods. i
On authority claimed 30 i
per cent of our available food j
was lost by government inef
ficiency. , I
It's tru. Competent food
authorities. ouUlde the gov
ernment here, say th federal
handling of food was a "dis
grace." They date it back
even to the time when the
. camps were being constructed and too much
" food was bought for th commissary depart
ments to feed the workers.
The 20 per cent estimate may or may not be
, accurate, but proof of the basic fact lies in the
official action turning back large supplies to
. consumer channels. Apparently, the over-buying
was not In any one line, but in eggs, dairy
products, meats, vegetables, canned foods and
now potatoes (too many were dehydrated). "
Local newspapers a few days back carried an
item urging servicemen to avoid public rest
aurants and to eat in camps where ther is
plenty of food.
Somehow these things happen in various
phases of the war effort day after day and no
one is ever held responsible. So far, the war
has been conducted without placing of re
sponsibility. No one was held responsible for Pearl Harbor,
and apparently no one has been held responsible
for anything since then.
It is true, the commissary departments for
the armed services should err on the side of
getting too much for the men, rather than too
little, and we at home must accept what is left,
without complaint. But waste of food by any
one, including the armed services is disastrously
detrimental to the war effort, and should be ex
posed rather than censored.
If the average man makes a mistake In his
income tax return, he will find how important
the government regards even a minor slip. This
man cannot be allowed to feel that generals and
admirals are immune to a similar responsibility
for their errors, in more vital matters.
Fighting,, government, and . civilian morale
will deteriorate if a complacent and benevolent
attitude toward inefficiency continues to be
maintained.

Keynes Financial Plan
rE differences between the Keynes British
plan and the White American plan for
financially internationalizing the post.war world
were omitted In a recent column for purposes
of simplification. But there are differences
vast ones.
. Shrewd Lord Keynes has presented a trfeky
method of instituting the international board of
directors ' which is to run the International
money world. ,v Instead of having membership
on the board divided according to the amount
of money put up by each of the nations, he
would allocate these mighty seats on the basis
of foreign trade handled by each nation in. the
three pre-war years.
Of course, this would give Britain complete
control. The British, on their little island, are
almost entirely ' an international trading nation.
Their dollar volume of international shipping is
much greater than our.
Thus, the British proposed to gain control,
not only of the rtabSJwtien of international
currencies, but tjiey would also even be able to
devalue the dollar an4 up the value of the
pound. They could impose penalties on any
non-subscribing nation, e o u 1 4 borrow money
from our federal reserve bank, and generally
lay a heavy hand upon the fiseal affairs of the
umtea States.
Our White pln propoe4 that no participat
ing nation gain more than 2S per cent of eon-
trol on the board, but wants ue to donate 40
per cent of the $5,000,000,000 fund. It would
let us have a veto power on many Important
issues by requiring a four-fifths vote from the
Doard of directors.
Gold Aspects
KEYNES, similarly, is toying with us on the
gold aspects of the plan. It is clear that
xne smaller nations could put tip as little as 9
per cent of their donation in gold, making 95
per cent, of their contribution to th fund in
meir more aouDttui currencies and bonds. Ob
viously, Keynes proposes to use gold, even in
this small way, only for two good British
reasons:
(l) London Investors own most of the stock
In most of the gold mine in the world in
Africa, Australia, Canada and ejsewhw. and
(2) the United States has clung to gold, and
ven b minor use oi n would make any financial
scheme primarily attractive to u.
Obviously, Lord Keyne has done more than
propose a simple utilitarian method of vtbiUo
mg international exehnge. He ha concocted
a skillful device for British financial control.

Two changes Important to tax
payers having delinquent taxes

were made by laws passed at the
last session of the Oregon legis
lature. Although these changes
do not become law until June 0.
1943, for practical purposes they
may be considered r effective
now, It waa learned from the
local county tax collector's of
fice Thursday.
Th new law read as follows:
"Interest shall not be waived on
any payment of delinquent taxes
on real property of 1930 or of
any prior year made subsequent
to August IS, 1944; nor shall in
terest be waived on any pay.
ment of delinquent taxes on per
sonal property of 1935 or of any
prior year made subsequent to
August 13, 1943."
In effect, this requires the pay
ment of all personal property
taxes before August 13, 1943,
and of real property taxes of
1930 and prior yesr befor Au
gust 15, 1944. Unless pyment
is made by these date, Interest
