Key to Victory

The key to the situation in the
Pacific, said Prime Minister Winston
Churchill yesterday at President
Roosevelt's press conference, is the
resolute manner in which American
and British forces are allied in giving
battle to the common enemy. And
there is no better evidence of the
quality of that resolution than the
current round-table discussions TAX
ing place at the White House between
the high authorities of the two great
English-speaking nations. Here, be-
hind closed doors, the hastily formed
Anglo American War Council is con-
sidering immediate and long-range
problems of strategy and supply re-
lated to the grave crisis precipitated
in the Far East by the treacherous
aggression of Hitler's Pacific partner,
Japan.
Mr.. Churchill made it plain to the
reporters whom he so willingly
faced yesterday that this is no time
to indulge in wishful thinking that

Defense Tax

The recent Rockford Illinois) tax
referendum marks something new in
municipal fiscal history. A deficiency
in city educational funds had forced
the closing of schools for two winter
months, until parents took the situa-
ton in hand and voted an increase
in their taxes to keep the schools
open. Junior and Sister, shocked to
the core, consider it the most ap-
palling waste of money ever to occur
in the entire world. and can still
hardly believe that it happened.
But mother and daddy know best,
after ALL They may have to tighten
up on handbag and pocketbook, re-
spectively, but what is that COM
pared to the welfare of their young
hopefuls? AS the tots march off to
school, their parents faces will glow
with pride and joy. Mother, espe-
cially, will be strong on joy, knowing
that her young ones will be at safe
distance trying to make 7 60 into 80,
instead of at home trying to make
marbles go into the bathtub drain.
She considers it well worth a mod

in every aspect of human existence.
1t is characteristic of him that he
should paint landscapes and lay

With Terence he might say: Il am
a man. and I think nothing apper-
tanning to mankind foreign to me-"
Certainly, no other Englishman of
his time could claim to have had
more comprehensive preparation for

discharging. His American host. as
it fortunately happens. likewise has

bodies. endure hardships. and avoid the
breakdoWns in health which come from
forcing men who are physically soft TO
the fatigue engendered by war.
This writer has seen Russian troops
cover 36 miles in a day and the
Japanese the same distance or more
with pack, a total weight of about
80 to 80 pounds, including rife
and 200 rounds of ammunition. 1t
should be obvious to any one who con-
templates these factors that no human
body can be hardened to such efforts
in less than a year. 1t seems probable
that opposition to lowering the age Of
recruits is based more on human SYM
patlly and altruism than on the crude
realities of war. 1t is suggested that If
those opposing the conscriptlon OF
younger men had ever seen unframed
soldiers collapsing on the road because
of physical weakness and dying in hos
pitfalls because they did not know how
to take care of themselves, they might
understand the fact that the greatest
kindness both to parents and soldiers is
to see that they are fit for duty at the
earliest possible moment.
If this writer is correctly informed.
the average age of the Union Army at
Appomattox was 81 years and 3 months.
Many of them were under 16, and it
may be recalled that there were many
drummer boys who enlisted between the
ages of IL and IA. The late Gen. Nelson
A. Miles. one of Americas most distin-
guished officers OF his time commanded
regiment at 19, and was general in
his early 20s.
The essence of war is sacrifice, and
hard as it is for parents and relations,
it is essential that this cruel reality be
recognized.

THIS AND THAT
Bu Charles Z. Trdce1UeH.

allows even the most timid birds to have
a chance to eat.
Squirrels seldom touch birds. We have
never seen one harm bird. They often
run at them. in their extreme activity,
but it is only a sick bird that would
be caught.
Mostly the squirrels and birds eat to-
gether amicably enough. The four
legged animals sit in the feeder, and the
birds hop around on the ground beneath.
SQUIRRELS are wasteful animals. They
really seem to have no idea Of human
economy! They throw out spoonsful
of seed in raking through the mass for
yunfloWer seed, their favorite.
The marvellous speed OF squirrels was
perfectly demonstrated to this observer
the other day.
We were standing at a window which
gave a clear view of feeding station
on a stake, and a locust tree about 30
feet to the west
Beneath the feeder was a squirrel
while in 1t were a dozen birds.
Around the squirrel were perhaps as
many as three dozen birds. Most of
these were sparrows.
Suddenly the whole mass of sparrows
rose up and few toward the tree.
The squirrel went with them.
There was a great whirr of wings.
The birds passed the tree as II 1t were
the finish line in some sort of strange
race They were on their way TO the
shrubbery in the border.
The squirrel reached the tree at exactly
the same moment the birds did!
They were on wings, and he was on
four legs, but the friction of the earth
did not slow him down bit.
Neither did the air flow design of the
birds enable them to go faster than
he did
Both birds and squirrel made the tree
at exactly the same second.
Whether the squirrel could have done
as we'll in longer race We DO not know
Probably not. After all 1t wa-s a matter
of a quick start. and a squirrel can get
away about as fast as a bird, evidently

Path to q Goal

The biography of Winston Churchill
conceivably might be written in
terms of his travels. From the
moment when his life began at
Blenheim Castle in Oxfordshlre,
November 80, 1874 until that OF his
arrival in Washington to confer with
President Roosevelt on Monday, he
journeyed far. Yet if his progress
be carefully studied it will be seen to
consist of a development of expert
ence to a purpose which millions of
his contemporaries now appreciate.
There must be many persons who
gladly will believe that he was
destined for the work which presently
he is doing.
Such formal education as Mr..
Churchill desired he obtained at
Harrow and Sandhurst At twenty
one he was lieutenant in the 4th
Hussars, but regimental routine was
intolerable to him and he found ways
to secure permission to study the
science of arms "close up" in Cuba.
The date of his debut in the field
was 1895. During the next few years
he served in India. in the Sudan and
In South Africa. The list of his hon
ors includes medals he won at Khar-
toum and at Pretoria.
1t was against the background OF
such romantic names that Mr.
. Churchill built his political career
At first a Conservative, he entered
Parliament in 1900. When the grad
ual change of his convictions brought
him under the Liberal banner in
1906 he spoke for a Manchester
constituency, later for Dundee-unti
1922. Meanwhile, he was successfully
Undersecretary of State for the
Colonies, Home Secretary, First Lore
of the Admiralty. Minister of NUM-
tions, Secretary for War and Secre-
tary for Air His most important
position during the period imme-
diately following the first World Wal
was that of Chancellor of the
Exchequer in the Baldwin cabinet
1924 to 1929.
Coincidentally, Mr.. Churchill
