reaching the age of 20 were required to register for compulsory military service. Twice 8 year, cadreS of 20,- 900 of these young men are called up for six months training. Gen. Douglas MacArthur, retired U. S. chief of staff, was put in command of this training program at salary of $35, ,000 a year. On a 10-year pro- gram, $80 0,000, 900 will be spent and by 1946 the Philippines will have 100000 men under 30 years of Age, all with six months training in in- fantry, artillery and aviation. Back ing this national army, of course, is the U. s. regular army and the Philippine constabulary.
 But navy there is none.
 Time was when Corregidor, for tress and naval base at the entrance to Manila Bay, ranked with Singa- pore and Hong Kong as triangle of offense that insured English speaking dominance of the China Sea. All were stations for naval squadrons of strength that could not be challenged, backed by shore defenseS strong enough to stand of any invader. But Hong Kong is now on the defensive and Corregidor has been allowed to deteriorate. All the burden now rests on Singapore.
 Naval defense of the Philippines would be impossible with anything less than a fleet the size of Japans. All of the scattered islands, with a coast line of over 10000 miles, are vulnerable.
 QUEZON
 KING PIN
 There is, of course, a general staff plan for the defense of the islands in case of invasion. And stubborn little brown Filipino fight CTS might make complete subjuga- tion 6 long and costly business. But the supply lines, 1900 miles from Singapore or 5000 miles from Hon. olulu, would be hard to keep open.
 It's the defense angle, as well as the economic angle, which makes the Philippine problem the tough nut it is.
 Keystone, king pin, No. man, and MT. Big in any solution to the Philippines fate is, of course, President Manuel Quezon. He is the George Washington of his country and perhaps also the Ben- jamin Franklin, the Thomas Jeffer- son and the Abraham Lincoln. From Malacanan palace. the Ma nila White House, he runs the islands. g
 He has been accused of being dictator, deSpot, unfriendly to the United States, friendly to the JapS, and in addition has had heaped upon his head all the abuse that any leader can receive. He has advanced the idea that democracy can exist in a one-party government and as matter of fact his Naciona- lista Consolidate party has 12 to 1 superiority over all opposition
 His stand on this point has been generally misunderstood, and as evil dence, Quezon points to the fact that he himself has given support to the Re-examination Movement wanting to have brought out in the national assembly and before the people every argument that can be made against Philippine indepen- dence.
 Whatever his faults, Quezon knows his Filipinos., No American high commissioner can succeed in Manila without Quezon's backing and support. And when the new status of the islands is determined it will probably have to dovetail with the Quezon pattern, which fully recognizes that in this day and age, no small nation can ex- ist while the wolves of Germany or Japan howl at the doorstep.

GERMAN YOUTH
 TO WIN WAR

A statement by the official news agency last night that two British transport shpis and a cruiser had been struck by bombs of the Nor wegian coast yesterdayq got the cel- ebration of to an suspicious start The agency said the bombs had ''ore- ated panic" among British trops pre- pairing to disembark and that "the greater part of the soldiers jumped into the water and attempted to swim to shore, which was several miles away" It said the cruiser was so badly damaged it remained motionless and emitted smoke and oil patches" although 1t was impos- sible for German flyers to tell whether the cruiser had sunk be- cause two warships approached and opened fire with al1ti-aircraft guns.
 Hess, consoling the boys for their inability to join the fighting, urged them to admire the heroism and emulate the valor of their brothers and fatherg at the front.
 "Then the fuehrer can be proud of his youth and all of you can con- tribute toward the victory"
 People must honor heroes" he said. "Woe to people who do not honor heroes-they do not have the spirit necessary for heroism.
 ''When grave dangers come and 8 bad neighbor does not want him to live in peace, then people (with- out honor for heroeS) do not want to give their lives for the whole. The unheroic are occupied only with themselves and do not believe their fate is tied up with the community"

NEW APPOINTMENT SYSTEM DIFFICULT

  ments shall come from the super- intendent, although the board has final power to accept or refuse the Super1ntendents recommendation. Prior to a contrary opinion by the corporation counsel, the section would seem effectively to block any system proposed by the board, as the board does not have the author ity to go over the head of the su- perintendent in the first selection of . candidate.
 However, the section also speci. fieS that 'any appointment of the superintendent may be rejected by g vote of the majority of the board" If the board wished to follow the authority given them under this section, presuming that 1t opposed any candidate suggested by the su- perintendent, 1t, obviously, could force the superintendent to a stalemate.
 Under the statute, however, the board still would not be able to force the superintendent to appoint from a waiting list system proposed by them, as he would always have the initiative. It is up to the corpora ton co,ln. sel, with whom a committee of the board will confer next week, to give an opinion as to how the board may adopt a waiting list system based on absolute priority, and still conform to the city charter.

It's Battle of Men-Not Machines Inside Norway
BY THOMAS N. JOHNSON NEA Service AEilitaEY Writer

The battle for Scandinavia uri- folds like an old Morse saga. In its early stages at least 1t is more . bat tie of men than of machines.
 As in the heroic days of the Vi- kings, the Germans suddenly wrested control of Norway's rugged shore. Now the Allies, if they can escape German submarines, mines and bombing planes, will land their men in a mighty thrust to hurl the in- vaders back. And like the old Norse- men, both the Germans and the Allies battling today for Scandinavia are superior fighters. They are the pick of the shock troops, the same to Europe's modern armies as the tenth Legion was to Caesar.
 Their struggle will grip the world, and particularly America, American volunteers are with the Canadian First Division, which is scheduled to send contingent to Norway. Twen- ty-two years ago some 5O,OOO Amer jeans helped the Canadian Corps at tam world fame as the most effl- cient attack unit Britain had. Those soldiers fought with a sort of expert enthusiasm even the Germans ad- mitted.
 That same zeal for battle ani- mates still another outfit due to go to Norway, the Polish brigade. There will be some Americans in 1t also, as there were Polish- h-Americans in the volunteer army that helped win Pc. lands independence under General Haller:s
 A new Polish army has risen in France from the ruins of the old. It has been thoroughly trained in modem warfare and now its soldiers Snarting from the Nazi Blitzkreig, are eager to battle the Germans again. They will fight most fierce ly of all, not alone for revenge, but but for freedom, counting each step forward a step homewafd; beyond lies Poland.

 So its worthy foemen the hard bitten Bavarian and Austrian moun- tainers will face when they come to grips in this new Morse saga. Here is one of the most breathtaking struggles in history and likely little quarter will be asked-or given.
