BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

AS the Japanese-American war digs
deeply into its third week, it is be-
coming what at this moment looks
like a certainty that Japan is un-
able to conquer the Philippine Islands
They have made many attempts, have
showered bombs on Manila, have, il
seems, landed parachute troops al
APART, Vigan, Ungayen and Legaspi
evidently hoping to be able to con-
verge from these points toward Ma
Mia.
There is, as these lines are be-
ing written, no reason to believe
that the Japanese will succeed
in the Philippines.
AS a matter of fact, the only sue
cess they really have been able to
register in the Pacific is the apparent
capture of the island of Guam, Wake
and Midway still having eluded their
imperialistic grip.
More Initiative.
Indications show that the American
forces in the Pacific are becoming
increasingly aggressive, and are TAX
ing the initiative away from the
sunken japanese YES
sells constitute mute testimony to that
effect.

that this policy will be continued

1t is not impossible that correspond

SandstoneToCet
Diversion Plant
Proposed S tie Between
Great Northern Tracks
and Highway 81.

Sandstone village has been selected
as the location for the new District
2, Land O'Lakes milk drying plant
and construction work will start as
soon as plans are completed and the
site chosen. The site now proposed
is near the Great Northern station,
on the railway right-of-way, between
the tracks and highway 81. If located
here the plant would have access for
shipment by rail, without the con-
struction of spur, and would also
be near the highway for the con-
venience of trucks bringing in the
milk.
Operated by Land O'Lakes.
The milk diversion plant, expected
to cost in the neighborhood of $780,
600, will be operated by Land O'Lakes
Creameries, Inc. Creameries which
will deliver milk to the Sandstone
plant are Cromwell, Kettle River,
Mahtowa and Wright, in Carlton
county, and Askov, Beroun, Brook
Park, Bruno, Cloverdale, Denham,
Finlayson, Hinckley and Sandstone in
Pine.

imminent as is that to Honskong
for although the japanese have pene.
trated the Malay peninsula, they are
still between 800 and 400 miles away
from Singapore itself.
Hongkong is far more direct
ly threatened, and even London
admits that the city may fall some
time this week, may, indeed, have
fallen by the time these lines are
being read. That's not a certain
ty, not a prophecy-merely an
expression of official British wor-
~ about that particular situation.
But even assuming that both Singa-
pore and Hongkong fall prey to the
attackers, that does not mean that
British influence in Asia will have
vanished. 1t may simply mean that
the japanese are making sensational
start, and that they may not be able
to keep up this pace.
Odds Against Them.
1t would seem that the odds are
against Tokyo, for the japanese gov
eminent will hardly be able to carry
on continued war against China and
new wars against the United States
and Great Britain at a time when
Russia, too, may be preparing to ioin
this fray actively.
1t serves no useful purpose tn
underestimate the proves of the jan
anese, but there are hints that soon
there will be pronounced lack of
raw materials essential to carving
on the war. That shortage, inevitable
as it seems now that all outside sum-
plies are cut off, may spell the doom
Oh Japan's military and naval might.
Russians Fight On.
So far, there is no guarantee that
Russia will join the British empire
and the United States in their war
against Japan, but it has been very
oluntly said in Moscow and Kuibv-
'hev that the Soviet republics con-
slider Japan their enemy-despite the

Resolution Adopted PrO- posing Governor Name
 Minor Court Judges

A resolution calling upon the con- stitutional amendments committees of the Legislature for immediate and favorable action on consti- tutional amendment taking the nomination of minor court judges out of the hands of the Legislature and putting 1t in the hands of the Rovernr was sent to the House and Senate chairmen of this committee today by the Connecticut League of Women Voters.
 Adopted unanimously by the council Of the league at It's meeting in Pennington on Wednesday, at which thee three local leagues were represented, the resolution called attenton to the fact that little major state legislation has been enacted in the nineteen weeks the Legislature has been in session laid the blame on "inter-party disagree ments and discussions over divisions of patronage" and Saio. that "as citizens of this commonwealth, which was early dedicated to the ideals of Democracy, we do not feel our form of government can command the respect 1t must have to survive at this time in the worlds history un- less the time and energy of legisla- tors can be released for considera- ton of and prompt action on essen- tial state matters"
 The council urged the Senate and House constitutional amendments committees to report "savorably and at once" the constitutional amend ment passed by the House in the 193o session (which would take from the General Assembly the ap- pointment of minor court judges and would, in large measure, free them from this stumbling block of patronage and permit them to at- tend to the business for which they were elected" The proposed amend ment, If passed by a two-thirds vote in the House and Senate this year, would then go to the people for referendum before becoming 6 part of the constitution.
