Far East. 1t is inevitable, con-
sidering that the japanese are
operating close to their bases
while we must operate thousands
Of miles away. But this war can
not come to an end in a few
months or probably even years.
1t will be continued relentlessly
for a long time.
The comparative handful of
men we have in the Philippines
are already giving an excellent
account Of themselves. So Is the
small force under the command
OF Admiral Thomas c. Hart.
Strictly speaking. the war has
not begun yet, in spite Of the set
backs we have suffered already.
But it is admitted by all compe-
tent observers that unless we
have q thorough house-cleaning
at the earliest possible moment
we shall have unnecessary dis
appointments.

By CONSTANTINE BROWN.

In the fifth day Of the war the
American people are still igno-
rant of what actually happened
last Sunday in Hawaii. A con-
gression investigation is likely to
be dropped because in many quar-
ters it is considered inappropri-
ate because of its political aspects.
But in most quarters it is be-
lieved a naval board of inquiry
should 60 thoroughly into the
causes of the Sunday disaster.
Such a board would establish
responsibilities in a professional
manner and would be fair to all
concerned.
Responsible authorities in
Washington had kept the feet in
Hawaii fully informed of the
political tension and of the neg
ligible prospects Of a diplomatic
solution of the Pacific question.
Furthermore, definite informa-
ton that portion of the Japa-
nese fleet, including at least two
airplane carriers, had left their

bassador to Vichy-was chief Of
naval operations, a position filled
at present by Admiral Harold
Stark.
AS far as it can be ascertained
here, the consequences of the yet
officially unexplained disaster of
last Sunday are not as heavy as
is generally rumored. The omi-
nous official words that losses
have been much heavier than
originally reported" have led
many to believe there was some
truth in the Axis chorus that our
naval backbone has been broken.
Fleet Morale Unimpaired.
This is far from the truth.
During the next few days 1t un-
doubtedly will be announced eX-
actly how many ships and planes
we have lost. 1t will be seen
then that while the losses are
heavy they will far from justify
the exaggerated claims of Toxic,
Berlin and Rome.
The morale of the fleet, ac-
cording to the best available in
formation, has not been i'm
paired by the Sunday blitz. All
those who have lived with the
feet and know the men and their
spirit intimately say a house
cleaning in the high command,
if found necessary by compe-
tent and unbiased court of in
quiry, would spur the morale Of
these men.
There is only one wish in the
feet today among the personnel
of the Navy-ashore and afloat
and that is to wipe out the blot
as quickly as possible. Without
trespassing on naval secrets it
can be said that despite the
losses suffered last Sunday the
Navy will be able to take the Of
fensive relatively soon.
Everybody here is prepared to
hear more bad news from the

Panay Alert Recalled.

What was done with the re-
ports received from Washington
and from the local sources? This
Is an important question which
a naval inquiry board will have
to answer.
Such a naval board knows more
about naval routine than any
congressional body. 1t is re-
called here for instance, from
the tales of naval officers, that
in December, 1887, when the
Panay was damaged by Japanese
planes in the Yangtse River, the
whole Pacific feet was immedi-
ately placed on the alert.
Naval and air patrols were
thrown around Hawaii for "a
hours a day. Some units Of the
scouting fleet were pushed as far
as the inundated islands. Shore
leave was suspended for a long
time and this alert was not ter
minated until sometime in Janu-
airy after the conflict between
Japan and the United States
over that incident had been def
nitely settled. At that time Ad-

beaten him before the war
that he so desperately appre-
hended began. The time had
come for the outpouring of the
very soul of America. But he
seemed hesitant to break bad
news.
1t is neither privilege nor sacri-
flee to serve America in this
hour 1t is stark, compelling
necessity It is the demand of
the breath in our lungs, the
heart in our bosoms, the earth
beneath our feet.
The President spoke of experts.
1--WE have selected the best eX-
perts." But great life and death
struggles are not won by experts.
Experts are needed; they have
their place; they are useful
servants. But Homeric wars are
won by whole peoples.
True Selves in Adversely.
1t is not in prosperity that
the individual person or the
collective peoples display what
they are, but in adversely.
When peace is the routine, great
peoples, great nations display
opulence. generosity, carelessness,
relaxed happiness, a good
natured or acrimonious disorder
amongst themselves.
Peace means happiness.
But war has its terrible, scar
ing joy.
1t is the joy that a woman
feels in childbirth-the release
ing of unknown and unrealized
powers; the joy that transmutes
all suffering; an almost Godlike
passion of power.
1t is the JOY that the skier
feels as he takes his crazy, dan
gerous leap the JOY of transcend
ing the very laws of nature. 1t
is the Joy Of the artist, stretching
his talents to encompass a dream
too great for them; it is the JOY
of the craftsman, of the athlete,
OF the sudden binding insights
of the intellectual. 1t is the Joy
Of knowing that there is in one
self and in ones people more
than was ever dreamed; great,
untapped sources of power; great
unreleased energies; a new kind
Of laughter, open throated, Wig
orous; a new kind Of tears, not
sentimental drops, but the
streaming releasing tears of the
very soul.
America is a titan. America is
Paul Bunyan, and the tall tales

had its delights. The one the
delight of hardness, manhood.
womanhood; the intimate &C
quaintance with danger. death.
The will to overcome, to become,
to defend, to create.
The other the delight of civili-
zation, grace, beauty, relaxation.
But the latter has more often
corrupted America.
In prosperity We have walked
on crutches. Now, galvanized by
this terrible shock, by the con-
tempt of us inherent in it. by the
audacity of it, by the humiliation
Of it-now, let us throw away our
crutches. America can walk
alone, can run, can stride over
mountains.
The heroic age has never passed
for the farmer, breaking his heart
with every duststorm, with every
pest, with every rising of the Mis-
sisSippi's waters - and planting
his seeds, obstinately, again.
Releases Unemployed Powers.
The heroic age has never passed
for the steam riveter, walking
insouciantly along the slender
girder hundreds of feet above the
asphalt. for the coal miner, cele-
brating solemnly the annual roll
call of his dead.
In the youth, on the campuses
and in the public schools there is
an eagerness for life unfulfilled
by the easy demands so far below
the impatient powers of youth.
And these are America-the
America long unemployed, be-
cause employed below its own
level, below its own powers.
Now let it be released! Re-
leased at every lathe, at every
desk. Not the expert is needed
so much as the creative organ
izer and the creative worker.
The wits of America have wan
dered. Now We shall have them
about us. The love of America
has relaxed. Now, when she has
been hit foully in the face, We
remember all her beauty. all her
greatness, all her gifts to us, her
grateful children.
New Competition.
The American competitive
spirit has too long been expended
in puny ways: competition for
profit. Now comes the great
competition: competition for pro-
duction. What factory can put
the most planes into the sky.
what shipyard launch the most
ships upon the seas, what farm
produce the most milk or wheat
per acre, what workman perform
the finest task. what inventor
spin from his fecund brain the
answer to the enemy's diabolical
wit, what poet write the song of
songs, the battle hymn Of this
republic? Let them be honored
before America; let them be
placed as high examples before
their fighting brothers: They,
too, defend America.
Mr.. President. do not worry
about us. Take care of yourself.
We need you. We love you. The
burden upon you has been be-
yond endurance. Take 1t from
your shoulders and put 1t upon
ours.
Never coddle us. Tell us the
whole truth-if not in detail, be-
cause Of the enemy. then in all
Its implications. Do not ask us
for what is easy. Ask for what
is hard. Out of wounds and sore
defeat We shall rediscover our
selves, and rediscover America.
She is ours and we are hers. Now
and forever.
To know that, in every nerve.
in every cell, of our individual and
collective being-that, too, is JOY.

Husband E. Klmmel.
Thus the intelligence services
in Washington had not fallen
down on their job.
Moreover, there was efficient
intelligence in Hawaii gathering
all available reports which
reached headquarters there from

tanks. planes and bombs are essen
tial, but they cannot be had with
out money. Hence, the question Of
finances is of the first Importance.
1t is not merely the management of
these almost uncounted billions that
weighs heavily upon those in au-
thority. There is also the compl
Gated business of imposing unprece-
dented taxes and yet avoid crack
ing up our whole economy. The job
is to keep a badly warped Federal
financial structure from collapsing
under a strain such as it has never
had before.
This would be lot simpler If the
structure had not been weakened by
eight years of steadily increasing
deficits and mounting debt. In that
period the administration has had
but one definite fiscal policy. And
that was the spending policy. This

a single defense appropriation had
been made, governmental finances

Snipe at Morgenthau.
With the gravity OF the problem
vastly enhanced by the war declara-
tions. it is clear that there was never
greater need for brains in the
Treasury Department, because there
has not before been so great task
laid upon it. This is not to say that
the Treasury Department lacks
brains. Secretary Morgenthau,
when he thinks and acts for him
self, thinks soundly and acts we'll
The trouble is that every time he
indulges in independent thought
and action he discovers either that
he is out of line with the White
House or finds himself assailed from
the rear by the left-wing New
Dealers.
The current instance is typical. A
short time ago Mr.. Morgenthau ex-
pressed the view that a billion dol
lars could-and should be-lopped
of of non-defense governmental
expenses. This took him only half
way with Senator Byrd, whose con-
tention is for two-billion reduction
However, it was encouraging to find
the Secretary of the Treasury so
emphatically taking his stand for
billion dollar reduction.
Far from feeling that way, the
New Dealers assailed Mr.. Morgen-
thau's stand with great bitterness.
And, under cover, they are still doing
so. First, they assert that a billion
dollars is more than twice the
amount which the budget director is

and not a man who should be agreed

Real Reason Unworthier.
1t would seem hard to find more
trivial and unworthy reasons for
criticizing Mr. Morgenthau. The
real reason, which they do not give.
Is more unworthy still-particularly
in a time Of war. The real reason
is that a billion-dollar reduction
or even a half billion-cannot be
made without the abolition of a
considerable number of New Deal
gadgets and the elimination of a
large number of New Deal job
holders Against this, war or no
war, the left-wing group will fight
fiercely.
1t is determined that New Deal
gains" shall not be sacrificed.
Financial stability and defense needs
must not be permitted to endanger
the permanency and size of such
agencies as N. Y. A, w. P. A, C. C.
c., etc. Curtailment or abolition of
these is too big a price to pay for
financial stability, defense needs,
civilian morale or anything else.
They come first. That is the position
and that is the basis for the resent
ment toward Mr.. Morgenthau and
the resistance to any cut at all.
1t is hoped that Mr.. Morgenthau
this time will not be dismayed by the
attack nor discouraged If he finds
the President not inclined to 20
beyond the budget directors figure.
He has said billion should be cut.
He knows he is right. Let him stick
to his billion. The developments of
the last week make 1t more essential
than before.

In this situation there is increas-
ing cause to be glad that Senator
George of Georgia gave up the
Craftsmanship of the Senate Com

In this key position he has strength
ened his reputation for independence
and clarity of thought. More than
any one else he will shape the 1912
tax bill, due to make its appearance
early next year. There is reason
to believe this one will bear the
stamp Of Senator Georges sane
thinking on the subject. Further,
1t is expected that it will be drawn
on more scientific lines and be less
OF a hodgepodge than any tax bill
for long time.
Everybody anticipates, of course.
inevitable increases in taxes next
year. Most persons will accept them
with cheerfulness, provided only
they feel that an end has come to
the needless waste in non-defense
expenditures. Nevertheless, it is
gratifying to know that Senator
George believes that increased taxes
should be coupled with the elimina-
ton Of all unnecessary govern
mental expenditures. He is, there
fore. certainly in accord with Mr..
Morgenthau's one billion recon-
mendation. In fact. the feeling is
that he inclines toward the Byrd
two-billion plan. That would be the
natural position for the chairman
of the Finance Committee, 1t being
clear that the more money we save
the less he has to raise.

House Members Musi Noi Desire To Hear Drager

There1l be no "Huey Long, hold ing forth in the 18th Territorial Leg islature, action in the House today indicated.
 Just as roll call was beginning on bill this morning, Karl Drager of Anchorage, who was Representa- tive during the 1889 session, in which he earned and rather fancied the title of "Huey Long of the Leg islature," said he wanted to be heard on the bill before it passed. No member of the House offered to ex- tend him the privilege of the floor and he wasn't heard.
 This afternoon Rep. James ". Davis asked that the privilege of the floor be extended to Drager for the balance of the session, point ing out that the Legislature usually made this courtesy on behalf of former members.
 Rep. Howard Lyng asked whether such privilege would mean that Drager cpuld talk whenever he wanted to on all measures.
 Finally Speaker H. H. MuCutcheon disposed of the matter by declaring forcefully: well take that under advisement.'
