drunken sailors as they did during the last world
war is a question that only time can answer.
With Britain gaining control of northern
Africa, the allies will probably take the upper
hand in the struggle with Japan in the Pacific,
because control of the Mediterranean without
r uch interference would give England a chance
-"nd more warships to the Japanese area and
woivo keep open a vital route for shipment of
supplies.
However, aside from the fight for control
of Singapore, England will likely concentrate on
defeating Hitler in Europe. To England the
Japanese war is only a side issue in the world
struggle, but, of course, the Nipponese problem
is tied in with the larger problem.
With the country going all-out for arma
ment production labor leaders who have been
causing the strikes will be less apt to stir the
wrath of the people by starting unprovoked in
dustrial walkouts.
In connection with the labor situation, we
may be sure that die great reduction in non-de
fense expenditures will reduce employment, but
much of the unemployment in turn will be offset
by the armament program.
As the youthful 1942 trips lightly across the
horizon and 1941 fades away in the distance, the
picture is darkened by storm clouds that Ameri
cans will epcountr during much of the coming
year. That picture can be brightened only by
the sacrifices, loyalty and unselfishness of the
American people.

Women Can, and Will, If Necessary
Condon Globe-Times
Quite a lot has been said recently about the anticipated short
age of farm labor and the necessity for women to get out In the
fields and help with spring, summer and fall work. To what ex
tent this will be necessary will depend upon future labor problems
here and elsewhere.
During the past week, the writer stopped at a farm home and
there received ample evidence that the farmers of this county need
not worry about women being able to lend a hand if necessary.
At the controls of a tractor was a young lady, hardly out of her
teens, who took that tractor arcund the Job with the utmost of
confidence We understand this same lady knows the grease cups
and oil holes and can wield a wrench.
The subject In this case Is probably an exception, but It does
bring to mind that there are women who can handle the farm
machinery If necessary, and wc believe there are plenty of them
right tn this community and county. Furthermore, it shows that
there are some who enjoy that type of work and will welcome an
opportunity to give the men a helping hand. If and when the time
should arrive.
