Admiral Nimitz when he tells us that
the task Of destr 1y.ng the Japanese
navy is about one half done. At the
outset, we had 800 ships, consisting
Of II battleships, aircraft carriers

81 cruisers, III desfroyers, 113 sub
marines. Japan had 260 ships, lie. 10
battleships, s aircraft carriers, 46
cruisers, 125 destroyers, II subma-
rines. AT the end of the battle Of
Midway, notwithstanding our losses
at Pearl Harbor Japan's losses fig
ured about 8 to our 2 on the sea-
perhaps the proportion is higher
against Japan. But, we are building
with rapidity BAT fighting ships of all
classes; Japan, according to the best
information available to our navy, is
building only 38 fighting ships of all
kinds. Japan is building only 2 new
aircraft carriers, as against our IL.
In the air, an American pilot beyond
a doubt, by his skill and for his cour-
age is worth 2 or 2 Japanese pilots
AS yet, we have no plane nearly as
fast as the Japanese zero plane. Our
bombing plane is by far the best of
its kind. If we can develop fight
ing plane as fast as the zero by Sep
TENDER, bombing Of Japanese cities
will be usual weekend excursion
for our pilots. Japan has lost Of
her original 6 aircraft carriers, ac-
cording to our best advices.
For results obtained, our Navy is
the least expensive arm of the serv-
ice. Up to Pearl Harbor, for five
years the all-over expense of the
navy was 2 cents per day per person
in the United States.
Germany has one aircraft carrier
Italy has none. This would support |

the best place for our second front |

in fire losses.
Most cities today have at least
fairly good fire departments and
water supplies. Few of them, how
ever, have another instrument that is
necessary to control fire-a modern
fire prevention ordinance. A fire pre-
vention ordinance permits fire depart
ment members to discover conditions
which may lead to serious fires and
to cause them to be eliminated. In
cluded are sections on controlling the
storage and use of explosives and
flammables; the installation and
maintenance of private fire alarm sys-
TENS and fire extinguishing equip
ment; regulation and maintenance of
fire escapes; requiring that places Of
public assemblage have adequate exit
facilities, properly indicated and free
of distractions; and investigation OF
the origin and cause of fire.
During the last few critical months,
20 cities in 10 states have adopted
model ordipances and more than
hundred now are working toward their
enactment No matter how large or
how small the community, If 1t does
not already have a fire prevention
ordinance, it is part of its duty to our
country today to see that an adequate
one is put into effect"

and last fall the Hotel & Restaurant
Employees Init. Alliance (AFL) was
admitted as the seventh union in the
basic studio agreement with carpen.
| tiers, plasterers, electrical workers,
laborers, teamsters and musicians.
Bread Cast Upon Waters
Other unions negotiated contracts
with raises of 1917 but somehow moth
ing happened to benefit the culinary
workers.
But bread cast upon the waters a
year ago by the culinary workers has
returned many fold. The militant
Conference of Studio Unions added
its weight to the basic group and an
agreement giving culinary workers
average wage increases of 1920 was
signed June 2.
The bread was literal = truckloads
of bakery goods furnished the Screen
Cartoonists and others unions strik-
ing against the Disney studio last
year. Not only bread and cake but
full-time services of union chef were
furnished the Disney strike camp for
two months. Four Disney strike I'M
ions are in the conference group.
The 1910 increase compensates the
culinary workers for raises they failed
to get when other unions got theirs
Chefs will be paid a $11241 weekly
minimum, cooks $3.50 to $1,000 a day.
Mattresses get $3.50 for 3-hour shift,
81 for eight hours. Miscellaneous
kitchen workers get $3.50 to S. day.
And increases are retroactive to Jan
uary 1.

Recent Naval Warfare
The Coral Sea and Midway Island
battles, in which the Japs suffered
severe setbacks, are seen here as 'hav-
ing completely revolutionized naval
warfare.
Both sides in these battles had |
heavy ships available, particularly the
Japanese, but it is reported that none |
of the capital ships in either of these
battles got close enough to each other
to fire a shot, but less volley from |
broadside. Some small ships did |
to get through and do dam
age, but not too much.
1t was the air forces of both sides
that did the damage. On our side,
the naval air arm was aided by shore
based planes. So far as the big ships
were concerned, all they did was to
provide targets for the opposition.
That doesn't, of course, mean that
the big ships are now altogether use
less. 1t does mean, however, that
their usefulness has been greatly re-
duced, and that from now on they will
assume secondary position in naval
warfare.
In this new type of naval warfare,
the United States will have nothing to
tear. The time is not SO far off when
we will be tops in the air in Utmost
every category.

Japs are cooperating with the nazis
| in an effort to knock the Soviet out
of the war.
This action seems synchronized
with the nazi effort to close the Muir
mansk supply line to Russia. Hitler's
trip to Finland to decorate" Manner
helm undoubtedly had for its purpose
to line up Finland in an offensive to
sever that route. The fact that der
fuehrer Inundated himself to go to
Mannerheim rather than have Man
nerheim go to him shows the great
campaign.
Americas growing strength is the
nazis' nightmare, and this calls for
Russia to be knocked out at any cost
before our strength assumes too great
proportions.
Michigan's Rep. Clare Hoffman has
inserted into the Congressional Rec
ord Westbrook Pegler's article declar-
ing that full citizenship should be
withheld from immigrants. It's case

Good News to Axis
Despite increased fire hazards to
our forests due to possible acts of
sabotage as the result of the war, the
house economy bloc" last week sue
ceeded in upsetting, at least temper
arily, the senate's recommendation |
for a 100000 increase to the Forest |
Service for improved forest fire con-
trolls.
Setting of fires is one of the easiest |
forms of sabotage, and unquestionably |
will prove particularly attractive to
Axis sabateurs because of the in
uses for wood in the war eff
fort. The senate, however, is likely
to hold out against this form of false
economy. The economy bloc" won
out by the scant margin of votes.

10-(R-Six German walters
and an Italian baker employed
at White Sulphur Springs, in
ternment point for Axis diplo-
mats and newspapermen, were
brought here today under arrest
as dangerous enemy aliens"
Field Agent R. ]. Untreiner
of the Huntington FBI refused
to comment on whether the pris-
oners had been arrested because
Of dealings with the interned Of
ficials.
Untreiner said the men would
be taken today to immigration
and naturalization authorities in
Cincinnati.
Some 500 German and italian
diplomats a n d newspapermen,
with their families, were in
termed at fashionable White
Sulphur Springs shortly after
the outbreak of the war.
Some of the walters had work
ed at hotels there, in Florida and
in New York since coming to
this country between 1925 and
1888. Two have brotheres in
the German army. The Italian
had worked at the resort since
coming to the United States in
1905 or 1906.
Untreiner also disclosed the
arrest last week in Fayette
County, w. Va, of an Austrian,
Wasil Dzabniak, IS, for failure
to surrender to police a powerful
radio set that could have been
converted into q transmitter."

BERN, SWITZERLAND, Feb.
10-R-The German Army Is
making, q gigantic new effort to
stabilize the front in Soviet Rus
STA in preparation for Spring
offensive concentrated in the
Mediterranean and to the East,
usually well-informed persons
with Axis connections said to-
day.
The Caucasus, Egypt, Iraq and
the Suez Canal were laid down
by these observers as ultimate
goals of a Nazi drive which, they
said, likely would bring Bull
garia into action and involve
Turkey.
CRITICAL MONTH
This is the critical month.
Much depends on Germany's
ability to solidify her positions
in Northern and central Russia
before thawing SHOWS, mud and
rain make those sectors difficult
for major operations.
The weather in the Medit-
erranean basin will be at its best
in March when, it was stated,
the offensive is expected to
break in full blast. In one
sense, it may have begun al
ready with Field Marshal Erwin
Rommeps comeback in Libya
aided by considerable reinforce
ments.
Foreign observers here who
have talked with persons re-
Gently in Germany and the Bal
kans believe that the Axis COM
mand has plans in the making
surprising the scope of any
previous campaign and based
on this strategy.
OUTLINE STRATEGY
/. To continue withdrawing
under Red Army pressure on
the central and northern Rus
sian fronts to bases closer to
supply centers, striving for a
fixed, positional front.
2. To make every effort to
regain lost ground in the south
ern Ukraine while pressing
through the Crimea and the
Donets baisn toward the Cau-
casus.
3. To work toward the OBJ
jective Of ultimate notification
of columns designated to push
against Egypt with those aimed
ut the Caucasus, Iran and Iraq.
4. If possible, with Bulgar-
ian assistance, to seek from
Turkey at least transit rights
for q third column as we'll as
water rights for transit into the
Black Sea.
GIGANTIC SCHEME
This gigantic scheme, foreign
observers believe, is based on an
even greater goal-to work
