MEN WHO CANNOT
BE CONQUERED

Jugoslavia is All occupied country
but not a conquered one The Germans
have occupied CZechoslovakia, but they
have not conquered the Czechs, nor Will
they. Norway is under the Swastika BAN
ner, but not under the NaZi creed, for the
Norwegians are still unconquered
There is probably no country out OF
all they have taken that the Germans
have actually conquered. Everywhere
patriots are still opposing the dictator
tyrants, still fighting for liberty and
their own national pride, still unconquer-
ed both in body and spirit. Not all the
guns and tanks and planes in the world
can conquer people of that kind; not all
the cruelty the PrusSian mind may de-
wise can break their spirit.
When victory comes, we who are proud
in spirit and strong in physical strength
must not forget that but for those whom
many of us think Of as "conquered,' we
would not have won so soon, nor so readl-
ly. The Russians, the British, the Chinese
the Australians-we can easily see their
part in the victory that will be ours. But
no less will be the part played by the
Czechs, the Poles, the Norwegians, the
patriot French, the Serbs, the Greeks,
and a host of others.
We should not forget that our own G or
ious Gen. Douglas Macarthur has his
equal even today in a country of which
the Germans boast as being conquered.
Gen Draia Mihailovitch, commander of
the Jugoslav gUcriilas, who have never
ceased to fight the invaders, has sur
mounted obstacles as great as the war
has presented, and continues his battle.
If you sometimes doubt that the Ger
mans will be beaten, remember this: that
they can win only by completely conquer
ing the world, and until now they have
not conquered the people in any nation

of California

INVITING DISASTER
ON THE HOME FRONT

If Regional Director Willard w. Keith
of the Office of Civilian Defense is right
in saying that west coast civilian propar-
ations for possible enemy attacks have
been relaxed because Of news OF recent
American victories, the whole nation has
great deal to worry about-and the west
coast is guilty of the worst example of
wishful thinking yet disclosed during
the war.
What We gained in the Coral Sea and
at Midway were not the kind of victories
which make US secure at home. They
were. if you must have it bluntly, purely
defensive victories The Japs were at
tempting to attack Australia, and we
beat them off They were attempting to
attack Midway. and possibly Hawaii,
and we beat them off.
In theAleutians. it is a different story.
We haven't even gained a real victory
there yet. at this writing. We have, on
the other hand, been subjected by virtue
of theAleutian attack to 'he graveSt peril
on our own continent since the war start
ed.
Is it any time to relax defensive prepar-
ations when we are still on the defense,
evervwhern?
We think not.
We have to be caught mapping only
once. and we will be sorry forever after.
In the Coral Sea and at Midway, our vic
tories were possible because we were not
caught mapping If we go to sleep at
home, merely because we have beaten off
two previous attacks, the next one will
have paved highway to success-and we
ourselves will pave it with our careless
ness.
We can't afford to go to sleep, we can't
afford to relax for one second, until
Tokyo sues for peace under our own
terms. To relax is to invite defeat and
all the horrors that go with defeat. Every
day should see our vigilance greater, not

He did not elaborate in short
extemporaneous speech at dinner

had nothing to add. But his remarks

THIS RUBBER DRIVE
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT
(Oroville Mercury-Register)

(Orovlile ercury-ReglSter)
Every one of us has personal interest
in this drive to collect rubber If it is
as successful as it should be, it will pro-
duce enough of the reclaimable product
to make nationwide rationing of gasoline
unnecessary This is much to be desired
for there is no denying that tough ration
ing of gasoline to save rubber would slow
us down to a walk.
Now it would be better to walk on
leather heels than to lose the use of the
family car. 1t would be better to forget
all about tennis and gold balls. The we'll
worn pair of rubber boots can do more
good in the rubber pile than it can in the
closet. Even the insulation on wire is
rubber, and the wire can be used, too.
The rubber sheet covering the floor
boards of our cars can we'll be sacrificed.
1t isn't at all necessary where it is.
There are said to be $4,000 different
articles in which rubber is used. Let's
bring them out and turn them over to
Uncle Sam, for he needs them ALL This
is so much more important to all of us
as individuals than was the drive for
aluminium that it dwarfs that other eff
fort.
The older the rubber the better it is
for the purpose of reclaiming. That old
rubber tire that has been lying out in
the weather for half a dozen years is
just what is needed now Bring it in.
Don't make special trip to do so. You'll
be coming to town on either business
within the next two weeks, and the drive
will last that long.
Many of us have been waiting for this
chance to do something for our country.
Go through the belongings with fine
toothod comb and bring out the rubber.
1t is said that if the country turns up
100000 tons of old rubber, it will be
unnecessary to ration gas.
