regidor Of pictures, Of feature arti-
cles telling of the closing phases of
the battle, material which had been
heaped up and refused to pass the
censor, but now could be told be-
cause 1t no longer would be of aid
and comfort or information to the
enemy.
Americans saw pictures of nearly
naked Jap prisoners, saw the types
OF faces and bodies of the nations
prime enemy, saw them herded to
the rear by American boys in uni
form, saw the Filipino soldiers lying
wounded side by side with our own
doughboys, realized perhaps for the
first time what the fighting on
Bataan had really been like.
The reaction and aftermath
throughout the nation had been two
fold; renewed determination that
the war should be won, and pow
erfu1 demand that the future news
bring us victories and offensives
rather than further defeats and
Withdrawals.
In the meantime the Japs con-
tinued to move into other islands,
had attacked Cebu with a force of
1900 men, undoubtedly released
from the rear of Luzon once the
front had fallen.
The attackers met resistance, but
1t was generally conceded that the
battle for the Philippines was lost,
for the time being, just as it's loss
had been conceded by most leading
observers from the beginning Of the
war.

BRITISH:
Days Still DARK

From the unsuccessful mission Of
Sir Stafford Grips England was
forced to the admission that her
days continued dark indeed.
Britain had the CALLING reminder
that she was keeping large fleets Of
naval vessels in the Indian ocean;
that her troops were bravely fight
ing in Burma; that she was suffer-
ing heavy losses on several fronts,
and that India was blandly talking
over postwar conditions while the
Japs were at her very gates.
In fact, after the loss Of the
Hermes, an aircraft carrier and two
cruisers in the waters off Ceylon,
word came that the British were
planning to send a punitive fleet for
a final showdown with the Jap navy
In the Far East.
But Britain was having tough
time in Libya, in the Mediterranean
generally, and the threat to Aus
tralia was a serious one indeed.
The failure of the Grips mission
had been handled by Bernard Shaw,
anti-government speaker, as ''to
have been expected" but the rank
and file of England didn't feel that

inspire this country than anything
else.
Some Of the squadrons had tota1ed
as high as 300 planes, a figure which
the British compared with the esti-
mated 400 which Germany had sent
over during the height of the air war
on one day over British detectives.
The Londoner was getting a good
deal Of satisfaction over these
bombings. Al last, he felt, Britain
was on top in one department of the
war, the air raid business. At last
the Germans were feeling the heavy
hand of air bombs as the British had.
There were some desultory raids
by Germans over England, but for
the moment the air supremacy over
western Europe had been definitely
with the British. It was so much
so, in fact, that real land often
sive on the continent was definitely
talked Of.

BATAAN:
aftermath

The final loss of the battle of
Bataan, even though Corregidor's
heroic garrison disdained surrender,
and continued to lob shells over the
japanese positions as long as they
could man their guns, left the United
States little more chastened, lit
tie more grim, still vitality deter
mined to win the war.
One result of the Japanese victory
"at long LAST over the legions of
Filipinos and American soldiers
who had fought so brave1y and de-
terminedly side by side for more
than three months was the lifting of
the veil of secrecy about what had
been going on.
1t was revealed that the forces on
Bataan had been less than 10000
men; that they had no air force;
that strong efforts had been made
to succor them, to open to them
supply line; that of the ships which
had been sent there, two had been
sunk for every one that arrived.
1t also was learned that the only
regiment of U. S. infantry on the
island had been the thirty-frst; that
there had been only two battalions
Of tanks, and the rest Of the gloomy
picture of insufficient forces was
all told.
Another dividend had been the
fling from the safer walls Of Cor

AMERICANS:
Up and Doing

Speaker Sam 'Rayburn Of The
house had reviewed the situation as
far as the present attitude of Amer
leans toward the war outlook was
concerned when he revealed peril
nent facts about the armed forces
and their progress.
He pointed out that America now
had on foreign battlefields, six times
the number of men we had in Eu-
rope after eight months Of the last
war.
He declared that planes were be-
ing turned out at the rate of $500
a month; that Garand rifles were
far ahead of production schedules,
with already enough on hand for
every soldier in uniform to have
one; that tanks were ahead of
schedule, with one factory turning
them out at the rate Of a trainload
a day; that the building of mer-
chant ships would catch up with
schedule by midsummer, and other
items Of like Importance.
Rayburn felt that the temper Of
the people was such that no lessen
ing, rather an increase of this
good work would be demanded. He
said that on one recent day 100 men
had been on strike in all war in
dustry, and added 'that was 100
men too many"
Some Americans were puzzled by
the demands, in view of our produc-
ton, that all old-style army rifles,
the Springfelds and the Enields of
the last war, all that were fit to
fire, at least, be turned back to the
war department for shipment to 9TH
er members of the United Nations.
This was to include a highly con-
troversial point, the recalling from
the 48 state guard organizations, all
their rifles.
They were to get shotguns, as
were the military police, and the
war department announcement add
ed "that is all the arms they need"
But guard officers were loud in
their claim that the removal of the
rifles was going to ruin the morale
Of the guards, and asked where it
was going to get the shotguns.

RUSSIA:
Situation Serious

Spring officially had arrived in the
United States with the opening of the
wartime baseball season, but it was
hardly far advanced on the Russian
front, though warm enough in the
southern portion.
But the Nazis' spring drive was
on, and the Russians, keeping them
selves highly on the alert, had never
seemed so active, and were attempt
ing to continue to "beat the Germans
to the punch"
Kuibyshev and Moscow reported
constant attacks on German posi-
tons, Berlin was admitting break
throughs here and there, with huge
tank attacks, and the Reds were
proudly declaring that much Amer
lean equipment had arrived.
Best report tending to show the
Russian situation was serious had
emanated from neutral sources, and
said that Hitler had begun to move
additional troops from occupied
France, probably from other occu-
pied countries onto the beleaguered
Russian front.
II true, and 1t might well be,
this might be tied in with General
Marshall's talks in London, limiting
that the time was ripe for invasion.
Perhaps, on the other hand, Rus
SLAMS were claiming continued VIC
tories in hopes of convincing fence
sitting" England that she ought to
cross the channel.
At all events there were signs that
the German spring offensive was
fairly started in Russia, and also
that 1t was getting nowhere fast.

LABOR:
Faces Congress

The tenor of the congress, regard
less of presidential and general adj
ministrative opposition, to make an
issue Of 1abor's 40-hour week had
reached q crisis.
In senate and house moves were
on foot to bring this question to a
vote even in face Of White House
disapproval and possible veto.
Representative Smith Of Virginia
offered a comprehensive plan for an
eight-point labor policy for the dura-
ton of the war.
Representative Vinson Of Georgia
had announced the framing of a la
Dor and profits bill.
Senator Reed of Kansas, saying
that the people were getting mad''
over labor's 40-hour week and were
demanding action. holly denied that
the mail support for the longer work
week was the result of a propaganda
campaign, and urged that Senator
Truman's committee investigate ru-
mors that 1t was.

MARSHALL:
InUasiOn Hinted

General Marshall, our chief of
staff, and Harry Hopkins, President
Roosevelt's personal representative,
with some others had made the
long hop from the United States to
London in bomber, and this led
many to believe that an American
British offensive on the continent
was not far distant.
The longer it was delayed, the
more likely many believed for it
Dickenson County herald. [volume] (Clintwood, Va.) 1939-195?, 1942-04-23

to be in a northern cline. The Ger
mans evidently thought 1t was COM
ing through occupied France, which
would have many advantages geo.
graphically for the British-American
forces.
Others thought a juncture with
Russia in the far north and sweep
down through Norway might be the
plan.
But there had been more than
hint of a spring invasion on a large
scale, and General Marshall didn't
deny it.

BY Edward G. Wayne

There was little answer to this
latter plea, but the thought of thou
sands of serviceable rifles going
out Of the country brought protests
to the department from various
political leaders, including Senator
Russell Of Georgia.
War material was moving through
the factories at a terrific rate, but
daily the people were feeling the
pinch more and more.

OUR NAVY:
Busy; Building

despite the published details Of
the losses of the Java sea and at
Pearl Harbor, also the heavy losses
OF merchantmen in the Atlantic, also
the occasional ship reported 'miss-
ing and presumed lost" in earlier
actions, many believed that the navy
was doing big job, particularly in
the Pacific and doing it well.
One recent report told of activi-
ties OF submarines in points as far
removed from each other as ''near
Bali' fright off Java), and in "Jap-
anese waters" probably close to
the coast Of Japan.
Four more Jap ships had been
sunk, bringing the total since De-
cember to 217 ships sunk or dam
aged.
This was toll far enough in ad-
vance Of our own to make any lay
man realize that a battle with such
unequal results could have only one
ending.
Those who chafed against navy
which could not wipe the Japs off
the seas in matter Of weeks, and
which, in the only two large engage
ments lost heavily, were forced to
admit that in actual ship and tom
mage losses, the Japs were doing
very badly.
And there also was the realization
that once fleet supremacy was es-
tablished in the Pacific, the Jap
anese supply lines, and therefore
their conquest, must fall immedi-
ately because of it's own weight.
Also those who believed in the
job the navy was doing pointed with
pride to the thousands of troops and
tons of supplies transported to Aus
tralia with single loss, of the other
thousands Of troops and huge sup
plies sent to England without loss.
japanese transports have been
sunk, but our troops were getting
to their destinations safely. That
was a superiority not to be denied.
Many felt that this move had won
an important victory in the war and
that Japan, afraid of our link with
Australia, had definitely turned aside
from real effort Of invasion of that
continent and would live on the hope
that the Allies could not develop a
real winning offensive from that ter
ritory.
Dickenson County herald. [volume] (Clintwood, Va.) 1939-195?, 1942-04-23

way about it, nor did Sir Stafford
himself, who left India grim and
sadly disappointed man.
His last word to the Hindus had
been that Britain naturally would
have to withdraw her proposals, but
that she would not withdraw from
attempting to defend India, but
would do her duty whether the In
dams helped or hindered.
Many believed the breakdown of
the conferences had laid the ground
work for possible revolution or civil
war within India, either Of which
would Surely seal her fate if the
Japs Gas they certainly would
should move in with a strong inva-
sion force.
AS to friendliness with the Japs,
few believed the Indians felt that
way. The Japanese smacked too
much of occidental Mobilization and
thinking to suit the Indians.
But as to fighting an outsider, the
Indians had neither the means with
which to fight, nor the inclination.
Much more likely was 1t that the
Moslems and the Indians would tan
gle, many observers felt.
It was possible that the United
States, which already had sent a
considerable air force to India,
might aid the British enough to save
the country from invasion. But this
was dependent on time, which was
working still for the growing power
Of the Allies-but which the Jap
anese might be able to curtail.

ke|Iand Says Political Unity
Would Destroy Republic
~ the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 13.-Clar-
ence B. Kelland, making his first
major speech as executive director
Of the Republican National Com
mittee, hit back yesterday at advo-
Gates of political unity with dec
laration that "the hope of the world
Is in the ballot boxes of America"
Political unity, the author said,
would mean "the disappearance Of
the Republic" His speech was an
indirect reply to the recent sugges-
ton of Democratic National Chair
man Edward j. Flynn for a political
recess.
Politics is good in time of peace;
in time of war, politics is indis-
pensable," Mr.. Kelland told a Lin
coin day meeting arranged by the
Women's Republican Club of In
dianapolis.
He declared the Republican party
would insist that the war "be car
ried on to complete, utter, conclu-
sive military victory" and oppose
with every ounce of its intelligence
and strength any effort on the part
of our enemies to bring about a
negotiated peace.
