Of thing in a democracy" Some
body said that to me yesterday,
with an air of complacency. In
what democracy? Why democ-

synonymous with every sort Of
incompetence, responsibility,
sumgness, vacuity of mind, lack

is not. This democracy wasn't

did not become great that way.
This democracy hasn't won all its
wars that way. And this de-

nies that way.

Before the war we were told by

war against Japan would be won

experts on the Far East had no
reason to doubt it.
Stronger Than We Knew.
Then came the disaster of Pearl
Harbor and we were told that it
was a heavy blow but not really
a disaster and that we had not
lost our superiority in the Pacific
Ocean. The Far Eastern war now
seemed to be somewhat more diff
ficult-but only for the next two
months. Since then disasters
have been compounded, and now
one thing is clear: 1t was not
merely the complacency Of our
armed forces in Hawaii that was
to blame-it was the strength Of
Japan; and we knew nothing
about 1t.
On Wednesday afternoon, Mr..
Fletcher Pratt, the military writer,
says, "the war in the Far East is
lost" adding, 1T will take us q

OF course it is a shock. But I
am absolutely sure that the peo-

the dreadful meaning of these

Draft Deferment Urged
For Some Farm Workers
By the Associated Press.

Fay w. Hunter, chief of the Farm
Placement Section, United States
Employment Service, disclosed yes
terday that local draft boards would
be urged to defer some farm workers
needed for expanded food produc-
ton.
He cited dairy hands and "some
types Of farm machine operators" as
examples Of the groups for which
the agency will seek deferment, after
telling House committee that there
would be definite shortage Of sea-
sonal agricultural labor.
Mr.. Hunter, in response to ques-
tions, expressed doubt, however, that
a women's land army" would be
necessary this year except in GER
tain areas, perhaps, for the harvest
ing Of such crops as tomatoes and
snap beans"
Even then, he said, such q land
army should be organized on State
by State basis as the need developed,
rather than on national scale.
Mr. Hunter appeared before a spe-
cial House committee investigating
migration Of defense workers.
In response to questions, Mr.. Hun
ter conceded that some difficulty"
had been encountered in "persuad-
ing" w. P. A. workers to take Jobs IN

This Changing World
United Nations Forces Gird to Defend Juvo
And Sumutro from Concentrated Assault

operating from the British
stronghold.
The United Nations air force
stationed in the Indies is barely
sufficient to protect the Dutch
possessions against the Japanese
bitz. 1t is most unlikely that
they will be able to take the
offensive and prevent the Japa-
nese from making themselves at
home in the Gibraltar of the
East.
Reports from the Far East in
dicate that fresh Japanese troops
and aviation are being held in
readiness for a concentrated as
sault against the Indies-pearl Of
the Netherlands Empire. Dutch
and British forces. supported by
aviation far better than the Brit
ish had in Malaga and at Singa-
pore, are ready for the Japs and
unquestionably will make a Japa-
nese victory extremely costly.
But there are grave doubts
whether the Dutch possessions
can be saved.
The United Nations fleet, COM
posed overwhelmingly Of Ameri-
can and Dutch light naval forces,
will have better chance than
heretofore to show its mettle In
the defense of Java and Sumatra.
1t will be able to operate success
fully with submarines against
Japanese transports and the ex-
pedition is likely to cost the
enemy a large portion OF his
ships.
Mere Mosquito Bites"
1t is no longer a naval secret
that in recent weeks a substan-
tial number Of American auxil-
iaries-light cruisers, destroyers,
submarines and mosquito boats
have reached the South Pacific.
These, together with the small but
sturdy Netherlands fleet, have a
wide range of operations from
anchorage points located In many

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

The loss of Singapore, con-
sidered by every British naval
specialist as the most impreg-
nable fortress in the world-even
more so than Gibraltar-is the
greatest blow the British Empire
has received in many years.
There is no question that the
British government regards this
defeat as the most damaging
setback ever inflicted on the
prestige Of the empire and the
safety of its communications
with the dominions and colonies.
There is little chance Of SOFTEN
ing the blow. The Japs are now
astride the lines of communica-
ton between the Pacific and
Indian Oceans and the United
Kingdom. Furthermore, it is
feared that large sections of the

power to Withstand the Japanese on
slaught-this fact is notorious and
to record 1t cannot be called a
breach Of secrecy. Public opinion
in Great Britain must be stirred by
a prophecy which falls so wide Of
the mark.
Once more, the cry goes up in
London that, In this war, there is
too much political interference with
professional strategists. Last year,
following the withdrawal from
Greece and from Crete, a similar
charge was flung at Mr.. Churchill.
Wasn't 1t on his ruling that re-
serves had been shifted from Libya,
at the very moment a successful
drive might have expanded there
into full victory, to an area where
they were bound to be outnumbered
hopelessly? In some respects, the
same sequence of causes and effects
unfolds today before our eyes and
criticism blows up.
The point to be kept In mind is
that Mr.. Churchill may or may not
have erred In the critical resolves
he had to take. last December, after
the naval losses at Pearl Harbor
and of the Malaga coast had upset
all the prospects Of the war in the
Pacific. No one can presume to pass
Judgment unless he is familiar with
all elements Of the problem, as they
stood two months ago.
Foch's Task Was Easier.
But whether the Prime Minister
was right or wrong, the determining
decisions in the field of strategy,
that is the ALLEGATION Of manpower
and material between the several
areas involved In the struggle, are
more likely than not to continue to
remain, in practice, the appurte-
nance OF political authority.
Why? Because, nowadays, the
reserves are not to be moved within
the limits OF a we'll defined theater
Of operations but. literally, through
the whole world.
In 1918, Marshal Foch, as general
issimo Of the Allied and Associated
Powers, did not have such hard
choices to make as the ones to be
faced now. His chess-board included
only French and Italian territory
and the per1meter around Salonica.
If he failed to find out at once the
best spot to group his surplus units,
or miscalculated the time, to cor
rect the error was nothing more
than matter Of days. In 1912, it
goes differently. To undo what has
been done may absorb weeks. Mean
while, the worst may occur.
Thus, those hard choices" to
which Mr.. Churchill referred in his
last parliamentary speech can not
but give rise to political issues with
in and without the United Nations.
British and American views have to
be kept in harmony about the gen.
eral pattern Of things and, besides,
to convey some idea Of the agenda
in the cabinet room Of Downing
street. 1t is enough to mention the
very different outlooks of the war

losses on the Japanese Navy that
1t will become threadbare.
The strategy of the United Ma
tons in the Pacific for the time
being must be one Of raiding and
weakening the enemy feet. 1t will
be some time before our own
forces are in position to strike
heavy and spectacular blows. Un-
til then we tmust be satisfied with
poisonous mosquito bites" on the
enemy.
While we do not expect to stop
him from attaining most Of his
objectives in the South Pacific,
there is strong hope that We can
stop him from entering Australia
and weaken him sufficiently for
the time when we are ready to
start giving blows instead of TAX
ing them. This will be a tedious
Job, but it is the only strategy
which We can adopt under the
circumstances.

order for company to clear $1,000

figured on about 10 per cent, which
is low for many Of the large COM

These War and Navy Department
regulations are but one of several
instances in which the left hand
here doesn't know what the right
hand is doing-unemployment being
forced by an arbitrary ruling Of one
agency that does not consider the
effect Of that ruling in relationship
to the drain on the taxpayers aris-
ing out of newly created Federal

Sabotage Found Easy.
And the initial disaster at Pearl
Harbor like the disaster of the
Normandie, happened because Of
q mental attitude, out of weak
ness of mind and character. The
response of Gen. Short and Ad-
miral Kimmel to the Roberts re-
port is to ask for retirement and
their $4,000 pensions. And the
judgment on the Normandie case
Is that it was only an accident"
The newspaper PM is not sat-
isfied. 1t has been sending out
reporters. disguised as workmen,
to see whether it is difficult to
commit sabotage on the water
front, or in defense industries.
Their reporters publish chapter
and verse. 1t adds up to this: It
Is q cinch to cimmit sabotage
anywhere. One reporter got a
Job on the Normandie without
any investigation whatsoever, and
in fact after hitning that he was
"in trouble" He smoked on the
Normandie although 1t was
against the rules and no one dis
covered him. He saw a hundred
opportunities to set fires. After
that, with his coat collar up, an
other reporter walked in, around,
and out Of a half dozen de-
fense industries, without the
slightest opposition.
And interviews with the
responsible authorities encted
nothing except hostility, an atti-
tude Of "mind-your- -busi-
ness-and-do t-butt-in."
Indignation Necessary.
This war is the business OF the
people Of the United States,
whose lives, fortunes and future
are all at stake.
This Nation can win this war.
But 1t is by no means certain
that 1t will win it. 1t will not win
1t without a national awakening,
and the basis of that awakening
will be indignation. I, as a citi-
zen Of the United States, again
ask the Department of Justice:
What are you doing about the
organized Italian and German
Fascist groups in this country
and their American allies? ask
the Department of Labor: What
have you done to clean up union
racketeering, to organize the in
vestigation Of every union mem
Der and, above all, what have
you done to educate the union
membership and leadership in
their responsibilities, and to mo-
billie them to help guard against
the dangers?
The appropriation of billions
Of dollars will not save America.
Only the mobilization OF the en-
tire Nation, meticulous planning
for all possible .eventualities,
scrupulous attention of every one
to his duty, throwing overheard
OF easy-going ways and a holding
to accountancy Of every one
charged with q task will save
America.
II sabotage crippled the Nor
mandie. laxness is responsible for
that. II there was no sabotage
the accident" Is all the more
blameworthy.
