RESPONDING to an appeal
from the local Board of Educa-
ton, the Mount Clemens Branch
of Womans National Farm and
Garden Association yesterday
made plans to sponsor Victory
Gardens" for school-children.
The planning of these gardens
Is done under the civilian de-
tense set-up, through the land
grant college of the United
States. Michigan's victory gar
dening work will be done under
the direction Of Michigan State
College at East Lansing.
Four types of defense gardens
are planned, varying in size and
scope to fit the needs and capa-
bilities of civilians. Most inn
portant are the children's gar
dens, since by training children
to garden properly, the future
Of gardening is enhanced. De-
tails Of the local plan will be
announced later.
GROW VEGETABLES
Speaker at yesterdays meet
ing, held at the home of Mrs.
A. N. Richards, was Mrs. George
I. Bouton of the Detroit Gar
den Center. Talking on victory
gardens and gardening for de-
tense, Mrs. Bouton urges vege-
table growing for the owners
own table, if space is available.
She recommends common
sense and good judgment in this
new type of gardening.
Don't tear up your lawn and
flower borders to plant vege-
tables, because there is no food
shortage" Gardens will keep
families fed better, she contin-
ued, pointing out that more than
one-half the people in the United
States are ,snder-nourished.
They have enough to eat, she ex-
planned but not the right kind Of
food. Most of their deficiency
comes from lack Of green and
leafy vegetables, and from an
insufficiency of milk, fruit, eggs
and cheese, she stated. Garden
ing will raise the vegetable con-
tent Of the diet, and will release
funds to purchase the other def
cient items.

For the time being the bulk Of
Japan's force-aviation, mechan-
lied units and infantry-is still
engaged in the desperate struggle
north of Singapore, in the Meth
erlands Indies and in the Philip
pines.
The main part of Japan's navy
the battle force-is covering the
North Pacific, either because it
wants to avoid a surprise Ameri-
can attack or because it plans to
renew operations around Alaska
or Hawaii. Only a portion of the
nine or ten aircraft carriers ia
pan is supposed to have in COM
mission are operating in the
South Pacific.
Moves Are Preliminary.
This general picture serves to
indicate that the operations ia
pan has undertaken around Aus
tralia are only preliminaries. The
Japs want to establish bases from
which to strike in force after
Singapore and the Philippines
have fallen. But until that hap
pens it is doubtful whether they
will throw any important forces
against the Australian mainland.
In the light of this ultimate
Japanese menace to Australia
the defenders of the Philippines
are selling their lives dearly.
Only by some unforeseen miracle
could Gen. Douglas MacArthur's
army be relieved, but his COM
posite force Of Americans and
Filipinos is pinning down no less
than Is Jap divisions and part
of Japan's light naval forces.
The losses, such as yesterdays,
which the sacrifice divisions" in
Luzon are inf1icting on the jap
anese are such that even If their
resistance ends in a few weeks it
would take some time before
Nipponese forces could be reor-
ganized and sent to other scenes
of battle.
A similar situation exists be-
fore Singapore, where a line
about 80 miles long is being held
principally by fighting Austria
lians. While there is little hope
Of holding the japanese back
indefinitely, there is no question

LONDON, Jan. 26. - Ignoring

miners voted unanimously yesterday
to continue their strike for higher

The Great Game of Politics
Critic. Citing Its Record, Says Congress
Has Little to Be Proud Of

. pretty discreditable chapter in
our legislative history. The spirit
which the President and others are
trying to inculcate in the American
people is not being exhibited in the
American Congress. Neither the
breast-beating speeches about the
irresistible might of the United
States, nor the enthusiastic demand
that every individual contribute his
all to the winning of the war, dis
guises the fact that Congress is not
doing its job well.
Change Of Attitude Urged.
1t is exhibiting neither bigness
nor intelligence. 1t votes loudly and
enthusiastically for the war bill
lions and then gives an exhibition
of petty politics and personal small
ness wholly incompatible with its
patriotic professions
1t is time for Congress to ex-
anime itself and change its atti-
tude. It is time for the people to
let Congress know that super-heated
oratory and huge appropriations do
not excuse the small, selfish and
supine business which have marked
this session.
In or out of Congress, no one will
contend that the record is a good
one. The thing that seems needed
to make it utterly bad is the scut-
tling Of the Byrd committee re-
port and the sidetracking of the
reductions in normal governmental
expenditures urged also by the
President and the Secretary of the
Treasury and vitally necessary to
national security.
Already there is senatoria,
group, among whom are some of
our most oratorical and vociferous
professional patriots, who are pre-
pairing to do just that-if they can.

that they are paying heavily for
every inch Of ground they are
conquering.
May Last Another Month.
Some of the 20 divisions they
repeatedly have thrown into that
battle have already been wiped
out. The remainder, If success
full in taking Singapore, will be
SO shaken and disorganized it will
require some time to get them in
condition for battle again.
A certain number of Japanese
divisions is in reserve in the
homeland. and 1t is logical to
assume that these could be sent
to Australia at the proper mo-
ment. But until both Singapore
and the Philippines have ceased
to resist-and both fronts appear
to be good for probably another
month-no large scale operations
against Australia can be under
taken.
The Australians became grave
ly concerned over the situation
IN recent days for two reasons:
ID They were under the i'm
preston that the United Nations
Board of Strategy in Washington
continued to look to Europe and
North Africa as the principal
theaters of operations; and 90
the vast majority of trained Aus
tralian fighters are in Africa,
Malaga and the Near East.
OF these two factors the sec
ond was the most serious because
it was least amenable to remedy.
Very few regular troops remain
on Australian home territory;
they are just sufficient to train
raw recruits. and that is all.
These, together with the militia,
are hardly adequate to offer pro-
longed resistance to the would
be invader.
Strategists Warned.
The Canberra government was
forced to pull up sharply the day

in Washington, drawing their at
tention to the imminent peril to
Australia and the consequences

stead of the dispersal of airplanes
at the Hawaiian air fields?
All these questions are pertinent
and they go far beyond the apparent
effort to confine the responsibility
to Admiral Kimmel and Gen. Short.
There was, to be sure, a deplor-
able lack of coordination between
the two. Each went his respective
way. Each assumed the other was
doing things he was apparently not
doing. But isn't this the traditional
system of separated authority in
our Army. Navy and air force with
no single command at our seaports
or outlying bases? Isn't this, more
over, an outgrowth of the lack Of
unified command in Washington
itself?
Isn't too much responsibility al
ways centered in the commander
in chief of the Army and Navy, who
is really the only official co-ordina-
tor as between the two armed serv-
ices? And isn't he also the Presi-

of a japanese invasion of the
continent.
Canberra's remonstrances re-
ceived immediate attention in
London and Washington, and the
Australian government now feels
that it may not be compelled to
withdraw its troops from key
positions where they are fight
ing. Their equivalent in guam
tity and quality is on the way
TO take up battle station in Aus
tralia.
The United Nations high COM
mand recognizes the vital impor-
tance of the South Pacific and
will make a determined effort to
stop the japanese, even If Singa-
pore and the Philippines are lost.
Whatever the future strategy
of the war reveals itself to be,
it is firmly believed in Washing
ton that Australia will soon be-
come the principal base from
which the Allies will begin TO
operate successfully against the
Nipponese and their allies.

By CONSTANTINE BROWN.

Australian authorities have less
reason for apprehension today
than they had last week, when
the Japanese invaded their terri
tory with landings in New Guinea
and the Solomon Islands. The
situation continues to be threat
ening, but they are confident that
Australia and New Zealand will
become rallying points for the
United Nations in the Southwest
Pacific.
For the next few weeks the
Australians will have to get along
as best they can with what men
and materials are now at their
disposal plus some small assist
ance from their allies. But while
Japan's operations in Australia's S
vicinity are impressive, they are
really not on large scale.
