Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
IF ANYBODY hereabouts has an idea the war
is all but over, he should take another look
at the situation in China.
While we have had our eyes on Europe,
nnd the amphibious operations
against the Japanese in the
Pacific, the Japs have made
enormous gains in China, driv
ing back American and Chi
nese forces and taking our
vital air bases that could play
such an important part in
bombing Japan proper.
All of this is happening In
a period of military and po
litical confusion in China and
in its relationship with the
TJ. S. No effective stand has EPLEY
been made against the recent Japanese ad
vances, which have cut China In two, and the
Japs are now in a position to menace the supply
lines to Chungking.
We must not underestimate this situation as
a probable factor in prolonging the war.
Let's not kid ourselves. Success against the
Japs in the islands, and in the B-29 bombings
of Tokyo, make thrilling news, but the Nip
ponese have been having "their successes, too.
In extending their continental strength, they
have created a situation that will cost many
more American lives, much more American
materiel, and many more American dollars,
than we have been estimating in our optimistic
dreaming.
So, on this December 7, Pearl Harbor day,
the realistic person is not only grateful for
the grand victories won by our fighting men in
the Pacific, but pledges his support and prayers
for our forces who still have a long way to
go to reduce a still-powerful Japan' to submis
sion. . , - .
e e "
Where Does Responsibility . End?
DURING the ejection campaign a terrific ef
fort was made to make Americans feel
their responsibilities in the matter of voting.
But sometimes, we think that too many citizens
let their sole contribution to the public welfare
be their mark of an "X" in front of the names
of their favorite candidates at election time.
There are a lot of other things to be done
things that take time, and effort, and money.
The number of such tasks in any community
it great, yet it is often observed that the burden
is carried by a relative few. In every war bond
campaign, in every civic drive, in every effort
of this nature, the workers who show up are
pretty much the same people.
Now, we think that many people who might
give their services to such efforts fail to do so
because of timidity. To any such, we suggest
that they offer- to help, at any rate. The
chances are good that they will find their
services enthusiastically welcomed.
But there: are unquestionably others who
simply go their selfish ways, benefiting from
the public welfare' efforts of others and giving
little or nothing themselves. Their interest in
their community, their church, their local
school, their state and their country is pretty
much confined to the idea that they be left
strictly alone to get as much out ot these things
as they can and give as little back as they
can.
e e e a
Taxpaying J
SPEAKING of a consciousness of public re
sponsibility, we have always had the idea it
is good for all cithjens to have to pay a few
taxes, and to know that they are paying them.
Hidden or indirect taxes may raise a lot of
money, but they do not make the taxpayer
realize that government costs money. When he
has to help dig up the money, he will lend his
bit to the public opinion that demands that
the people who spend that cash should do it
economically and efficiently.
Taxes may be tough, but they are good for
our souls.
(from Matthews VII)
Judge not, that ye be not judged.
For with what Judgment ye Judge, ye shall
be Judged: and with what measure ye mete, it
shall be measured to you again.
And why bcholdest thou the mote that In
thy brother's eye, but considered not the beam
that is in thino own eye? . ,
Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam
out of thine own eye; and then thou Shalt see
clearly to cast out the mote out of thy
brother's eye.
Give not that which is holy unto the ilogs.
neither cast ye your pearls before sw.ne, lest
they trample them under their feet, and turn
again and rend you.
Ask and it shall be given unto you; seek and
ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened
unto you.
News Behind ihe News
By PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7 The cold fanaticism
of the nazi defense is noticeable in the
little observed fact that today, six months after
the invasion of France (June 6), they still hold
four larsc French ports and some of the smaller
Belgian landings. They possess Lorient with
possibly 25,000; St. Nazalre with 30,000, tne
river entrance to Bordeaux with 20,000, and
also at Dunkerque.
These large bodies of suicide troops have
been supplied by air from Germany to some
extent, although winter wind and weather have
lately made that task more difficult. Some
boats from Spain may have slipped into St.
Nazaire with food, at least. An occasional sub
marine Is reputed to have taken in medical sup
plies and others also to all four points.
e e e
Raid Farms '
TO supplement their meager stores the strong
forces sally forth at night and raid the
farms miles beyond their defense lines. We
have not attempted, to attack these places, as
their reduction would be costly and we are
now opening other better ports to full traffic.
The growing use of Antwerp will soon show
effect upon the Aachen' line.
Why these nazis fight with such suicidal
stubbornness in the face, of coming death not
only for themselves but their cause is a sub
ject of study by the most eminent authorities
here because the course of the war, and its
European duration, depends largely on this
factor. Any idea that Germans are extraordin
ary people is pure nonsense. Their troops now
are less than ordinary and include even the
physically . unfit. Determination is impressed
upon them and they are a people accustomed
to-following orders. .
.
Hitler In Background
STORIES that Hitler is dead or Insane may
not be accurate. Yet he has gone1 into the
background and Hlmmler has carried through a
lastditch mobilization of the people, which Is
maintaining discipline.
. The Prussian generals have been able' to
maintain army morale throughout the retreat
from France, the Balkans and eastern France.
This retreat was sold to the soldier and the
people as an orderly withdrawal to reduce the
length of the fighting line for the final battles
near home, and to some extent it was.
While they lost a lot of men (30,000 to 40,
000 nazis are still on the Aegean islands) the
generals maintained complete authority. With
Himmler functioning ruthlessly through his
secret police at home and the Prussians holding
the men in uniform, the preservation of this
fictitious morale can continue until physically
crushed by us.
Another factor has helped them. The United
Nations agreement to insist upon unconditional
surrender left the masses ho loophole except
subservience and encouraged last-ditch resist
ance. . ;
' e e - e a:. .
Resist Moderation
AUTHORITIES, here -have continued to resist
moderation "--the terms because they
knew this was what Germany has been playing
for now, for more than a year. To do so
would seem to be capitulation. Indeed, what
, terms could be popularly acceptable, without
military occupation, which amounts to uncon
ditional surrender.
Excellent military men back from the front
think ; the kind of ruthless pressure we are
maintaining now. will bring the nazi soldiers
to their knees- within two months. Authorities
. here generally agree with Churchill that the
full crushing power of our spring drive must
be imposed upon the nazis before the Hlmmler
Prussian-military hold on their morale is broken.
Certainly the condition calls for Increasing our
'' hard and ruthless power and the utmost our-
'chasing of bonds at home to furnish that power.

Surely tlieio boys that arc

already pinned the add lest by
renouncing their Jaiianexe blood

the same gratitude and apprecia

Personally, I have never cured
for the Japanese, as a race, and
1 think it a great mistake thai
they were ever allowed to enter
this country at all, but 1 do
think It Is beneath us to use
cheap, despicable trick in an
attempt to cover our o w n
neglect, conceit and bigotry. Had
we been the wise, tiir-si'i'lni! na

upon, wc would never have been

Mass Sedition Trial Ends;
Court Declares Mistrial
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7 (A)
The mass sedition trial ended
xoaay.
Associate Justice James M.
Proetnr r1pelnri4 n mlril.l
22 of the defendants said they
aia nor, wisn to continue their
case under a new Judge who
would have to be appointed in
succession to Chief Justice Ed
ward C. Elcher who died last
week.
Only' one defendant, Prescott
Bennett, expressed a willing
ness for the eight-mortth-old
trial to proceed.
Attorneys for three' defend
ants answered neither "yes" nor
"no."
After taking the poll, Justice
Proctor called in the Jury and
remarked that he had "an im
portant announcement to make."
He asked that the announce
ment be received in silence and
that there be no demonstration.
Then he said:
"In view of the death of Chief
Justice Elcher in the midst of
this trial, and the circumstances

The Judge explained the trial
could be continued only If the
defendants consented, but that
"in the final analysis the de
clslon must rest in the sound
accretion of the court."
He added that if the trial
were . to continue an extended
postponement would be neces
sary to permit the new Judge
10 lamiuarize nimseit wltn the
record. It includes more- than
18,000 pages of testimony and
more than 11,000 documents.
Proctor said he could not say
who the new Judge would be
because "I don't know."
The mistrial ruling now puts
the future ot the case up to
Attorney General Francis Bid
die. Ho must decide whether to
dismiss the proceedings or to
order an entirely new start.
A new trial presumably would
Involve weeks of preliminaries
as did this one, and the discard
ing of the present vast record.
