One thing is certain-there will
be lag between tax collections and
the rapid rate of expenditure. Only
when the war ends and wartime

one reason why there is support at

The occupation of Kuching,
the capital of SaraWak, will give
the japanese an important base
for operations against Singa-
pore from the east, while the
fall of the Philippines would
make communication between
the British fortress and the
United States extremely difficult.
The japanese plan, as seen by
strategists in Washington, is to
establish an iron ring around
Singapore. Then, with the
Singapore garrison practically
cut off from the rest Of the world,
it is their intention to hammer
at it until the Gibraltar Of the
east falls.
The Australians, who are more
concerned over Singapore than
any other theater of operations
at this moment, are reported to
be rushing men and materials
to the vital spot. 1t appears
from the veiled but significant

Unless the Allies act quickly,
Singapore will be in as much
danger as the Philippines. The
Japanese, aided by Nazi strate-
gists, are proceeding methodically
to surround the great British
base. Spectacular battles may
be expected in that area soon.
The Japanese plan is crystal
clear: To attempt to occupy
strategic positions and establish
strong footholds in the vicinity
of Singapore, thus cutting the
fortress off from all outside as
sistance and eventually storming
1t with little sacrifice.

Dutch fleets will have to pull

superior to the japanese in
strength. Airplane carriers can
be of great assistance i'll the
event of fleet combat on the high
seas, but it is not likely that the
japanese Navy will permit itself
to be drawn into open battle.
The japanese warships will al
ways attempt TO meet the Allied
naval forces somewhere near
their land air bases, in order to
enjoy the full protection of

carriers cannot hold their own

The Political Mill
Price Whipping Together kon-PoIitieoI Agency
To Censor information Valuable to Enemy
BY GOULD LINCOLN.


Starting from scratch, Byron
Price, newly appointed director
of censorship for the United
States, is whipping together a
brand-new agency which will
play an important part in the
war effort of the Nation. 1t is
designed particularly to prevent
valuable information from falling
into enemy hands. Primarily,
the Bureau of Censorship will
deal with the press, the radio,
mails and cables. 1t will seek to
prevent such information from
being communicated by agents
of the Axis powers to those gov
ernments, and to prevent infor-
nation and messages from reach
ing enemy agents in this country.
Already Mr.. Price has hundreds
of letters and messages from edi-
tors and publishers and from
businessmen and the radio broad
casting companies promising close
cooperation with the Govern
ment in this work of preventing
a leak of information, either
intentional or unintentional. The
press today is leaning over back
wards to prevent the publication
of any news that would be valu-
able military or naval informa-
ton to the enemy. The demand
is for instructions as to how the
newspapers shall govern them
selves. No rules aid regulations
yet have been laid down, but it
is expected that they will be
Forthcoming. The purpose of the
censorship, it is explained, is not
to prevent criticism of the con-
duct of the war. 1t is to prevent
information that might prove
dangerous to the safety of the
armed forces and to the Nation
from getting into enemy hands.
Censorship of the radio broad
casting facilities of the country
presents real problem. AS in
the case Of the newspapers, the
radio brC2dcasterS have hastened
to give assurances of co-opera-
ton with the censorship bureau.
Subject matter that is broad
cast over the air, however, is
more easily obtained by foreign
agents across our borders than
are newspapers. In the case of
the latter, they still have to run
the gantlet of mail censorship,
even if information which the
Government believes should be
kept from the enemy should
creep into any of the neWspa-
pers..
Short Wave Problem.
Not only do the regular radio
chains and independent sta
tiCas require watching, but
there are the short-Wave radio
sending and receiving sets. 1t
would be difficult. for example,
to discover that messages are be-
ing sent by short-Wave from
Mexico or any of the other
American countries to enemy
agents within the United States,
giving instructions, and to run
the radio sending set down. Not
SO difficult, perhaps, but still
real task, is to prevent the send
ing of messages via short-wave
radio from this country to for
eign agents in Mexico and other
comparatively nearby nations.
There is the chance, too, that
enemy messages may be sent
through the regular radio pro-
grams-in code-to agents out
side the country.
Obviously, should the radio
situation get out of hand, with
valuable military and naval in
formation going into the Of
fees of the Axis powers, the
final course Of the Government
would be to take over all radio

the country. 1hat is Wnat the
British have found it necessary
to do. and the only broadcasts
from Britain come from B. B. c.
and they are closely censored.
1t is not the desire of the
Government-certainly not of
the Bureau of Censorship-tO
take over the radio stations
throughout the country. That is
made extremely clear by Mr..
Price. At the same time, this
Government will not permit the
radio to obstruct in any way the
conduct of The war and to ad-
vance the cause of the Axis pow
erS.
The Bureau of Censorship set
up by Mr.. Price will not concern
itself with criticism of the ad-
ministration of the war. 1t is
not aiming To play politics in any
shape or form, and it will be
non-political in its makeup
just as non-political, for ex-
ample, as was the appointment
of Mr.. Price to head the bureau.
What it will do is to prevent
the sending of information val
liable to the enemy.
Responsible to President.
The executive order setting up
the new bureau places the full
responsibility on Director Price.
While an Advisory Committee
has been set up, headed by Post
master General Walker, Mr.. Price
and his bureau are not under the
direction or subject to order from
any of the Government depart
ments. He is responsible to the
President alone for the admins
tration of censorship.
However, the bureau will work
closely with other Government
agencies, and will make use of
them, including the postal serv-
ice, the Army, the Navy, the Fed
eral Communications Commits
sion and the F.. B. I. Censorship
of the mails will be done in large
part through the Army. The
mail censorship runs only to in
ternational mail. Domestic let
ters will not be censored. Already
the incoming foreign mail has to
go through the hands OF Post
Office agents, who examine 1t
for any possible violations of the
laws, and will henceforth exam
inc it for any information which
is sent to foreign agents or for
war propaganda purposes.
1t is estimated it may take as
many as 10000 persons to censor
the foreign mails. Already such
work is being done through the
Army, which is adding civilian
employees to help do this job.
Censorship of foreign cables
does not offer such a problem
except that cables, as we'll as
other forms of communication
must be examined for code mes
sages. concealed in ordinary
terms.
Mr.. Price already has appointed
two assistant directors of CEN
sorship, one to deal with the
press and the other with radio.
He may appoint one or more
other assistant directors to ham
die other forms of communica-
ton. His selection to be assist
ant in charge of press censorship
is John H. Sorrells of New York,
who has been executive editor of
the Scripps-Howard newspapers
since 1880, widely known to news
paper editors. John Ryan of
Toledo, Ohio, is the assistant in
charge of radio censorship. Mr..
Ryan has been vice president and
general manager of the Fort In
dustry Corp, which owns and
operates a number of radio sta
tions.

few days, the defender of the
Philippines believes he can hold
off the Japanese for a long time.
Manila may fall, but that does
not mean the japanese will be
masters of Luzon, and as long as
there is a fighting army in the
mountains and jungles of the
island, the japanese cannot use
1t as a base for further opera
tionS.
The garrison at Corregidor is
believed to be in a position to
hold on for many weeks. even If
no fresh supplies reach it. The
fortress can defend itself with
out aviation support, and unless
it is starved out or its ammuni-
ton becomes exhausted, it can
repel the fiercest japanese at
tacks. AS long as Corregidor IS
in American hands the japanese
cannot use Manila or Cayite as
bases of operation.
But even though the Philip
pines may not be entirely oc-
cupied by the Nipponese, they
have lost their active influence
on operations. Japan need not
fear any action from that Amer
lean base for a long time. Hence,
the Nipponese army can proceed
with the encirclement of Singa-
pore without worrying about the
American forces in the Philip
pines.
Loss Of Bases a Blow.
The operations of the United
States Navy may be hampered
soon by the fact that their only
base in the Far East will be
Singapore. whose approaches
may shortly be controlled by
Japan. Furthermore, the opera
tions of Allied aviation will be
greatly handicapped by the loss
of the important air bases in the
Malay Peninsula.
Singapore has first-class air.
dromes so have Java and Suma-
ira. But they can accommodate
only a limited number of planes.
For the time being there is suf-
ficient room for the Allied air
forces in the South Pacific, but
in order to meet the japanese on
equal footing a much larger air
force is necessary.
