WHATEVER FRONT IS The old argument about a second front goes merrily on, with all soils of useless differences as to whether the Italian front is the second or the third— and if it is the third, where is the se cond? Moscow says there isn’t any second, and will we please bring one on, in a hurry. Really, does it matter whether the front in It aly is the second, the third, the fourth or fifth? In spite of all denials from Russia, the Italian front is doing what the long-sought “ second fr ont” was intended to do, and to that extent the argument seems pretty fruitless. Russia wanted a second front to pull Nazi tr oops out of the east— originally to relieve the pressure o f German offensive, and later to soft en the armor of German resistance. This the It alian front has done. It is no way detracting from the marvelous job done by the Red armies to point out that th eir present rapid progress is made possible by the fact that Hitler has taken normous numbers of men and quantities of equipment o ff the Ru ssian front to meet the Anglo-American threat coming up from the Mediterranean, and to re place Italian forces no longer in the war. The number of Nazis pulled o ff the Russian front has not ben made known, although our in telligence service undoubtedly could guess rat her accurately. It includes not only those who are actually facing the Anglo-American invas ion forces, but many times that number who are waiting to see where we shall strike next. We, like Premier Stalin, would like to see a front, be it second or third or whatever, in Fr ance. It looks like the shortest way to Berlin. But our reason for favoring that route is not ne cessarily the same as that of Mr. Stalin. He wo uld like to see us concentrate in the west, where he has no immediate ambitions, if any at all, and leave to him the Balkans area where Russ ian interest is strong. W e are interested in winning the war where- evr it can be won. If victory can come quickest by an Anglo-American invasion of the Balkans before the cross-channel climax, we can’t be gr eatly worried by post-war ambitions. So far as we are concerned, the front desig ned to distract Nazis from Russia now exists. W e shall develop that front to the limit, and leave it to historians to decide whether it is the Second front. — Baker Democrat Herald. Eleven from Arcadia attended the Christian Endeavor rally at the Christian church in Ontario Sun day night. Rev. Oberg of M c Call gave the sermon. Thirty attended Sunday school. A short program was given by the Sunday school in celebrating the third year of Sunday school.

O f the 115.000 deferred goven- ment employes 51,875 are employes of the navy department, 30.423 are employes of the war department, 7,409 of the shipping administra tion,. and 4,309 of the maritime co mmission. In industry, as of July 31 this year, 1,553,000 are deferred because o f their occupation. The very peculiar part of this report is the wide spread between Washington and Oregon in the nu mber o f those defered because of their essential government employ ment. Washington has over six times the number so deferred as compared with Oregon. In the next few days selective service will make available the names and addresses of the whole list, acordlng to Sen ator Wheeler, which will also des ignate those who asked for defer ment. As predicted in this column over a month ago, Prentiss Brown’s res ignation as chief of O PA has writ ten and will be sent to the presid ent in the near future. Chester Bo wles, who has been running the whole show for the past several months, is expected to be named to succeed Brown. Rumore has it that the president will offer his go od friend Prentiss Brown another post in government, which he may not accept. Cloak room gossip has It the popular Mr. Brown will go back to his home in Michigan and leok ovet the political situation ve ry carefully before making and future moves. I f things look right, Mr. Brown will be a candidate for some elective office. Best guessers around here believe the present 16-point rationing on butter will be lowered in the next few weeks to around eight points, where it was last summer. The ar med services and other government purchasing agencies, which have been taking a large amount o f the nation's output, are out of the mar ket and will not make and more purchases o f butter until next sp ring. This move will divert at least 30 per cent more butter for civilian use. Just as soon as a reasonable stockpile is built up it is expected the point rationing will be lowered. The armed forces now have a large surplus of most all foodstuff. I f they stay out of the market for a few months it may mean reduced ration points b n other foods, esp ecially meats. American industry has repaid $2.- 141.366.000 to Mr. Whiskers on war contracts through renegotiation In the 16 months period ending Aug ust 31. On top o f that, price reduc tions on work already on order, but not yet delivered, will save the gov ernment an additional $2.262,742,- 000, making irtota l of well over fo ur billion dollars. These figures do not include the benefits received by the government in the form of low er prices written into new con tracts that manufacturers o f war supplies now know because they ha ve found out what their manufact uring costs will come to. While a large amount of the mo ney saved would have gone back to the government anyway in the form of taxes, it is estimated that at least 30 percent of the amount would have been retained by the contractors and manufacturers. O t her substantial savings will be ma de before war’s end and at the pre sent time negotiations are going on with seven different contractors in the northwest for refunds which, if made, will total close to $30 million. clearing land for tillage.

The list shows a total of 115,397 el igible for the draft but deferred be- I cause they are essentially employ- j ed in some one of the numerous I government agencies.
