THE FALL OF MANILA

The first serious setback to
America in it's war with Japan has
come. Manila has been occupied by
Tokyo's legionS and the island city
which We have held and protected
since the Spanish-American war is
temporarily wrested from US. AS
the war department said in it's Off
c1al announcement, this is serious.
but it does not lessen our resist
ance to the Japs
Moreover, it does not mean that
We have yet lost completely our
foothold in the Philippines. Tokyo
claims that Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur evacuated his troops across
Manila Bay to the mighty fortress
of Corregidor Since Macarthur
was able to accomplish this gigan-
tic task under intense bombing by
the Japs, there is reason to believe
we will maintain the fight in the
Philippines for some time to come.
because Corregidor is going to be
no easy conquest for the enemy.
Americans have been prepared
for the shock of losing Manila. IT
mas been expected ever since news
OF the first heavy japanese troop
landings at Lingayen were reported.
Gen. MacArthur's small, but eff
c1ent, forces were no match for the
hordes of Nippon who were poured
into the island. At that, the fight
they put up, the toll they exacted
from the enemy writes another
glorious chapter in the story Of
Americas military achievements
With Manila in enemy hands, our
job of building military power,
chiefly in the air, is emphasized
anew. 1t sharpens our desires to
achieve this job so that we may, as
soon as possible, strike the enemy
with something like equal strength.
The Philippines are a long way
from America; the supply lines to
them are long, dangerous and diff
ficult to maintain. But these things
are taken into consideration under
the grand alliance plans which We
and our Allies are framing for VIC
tory in the Far East
1t may not be soon, but the day
is ahead when our gathering rover
and that of our Allies will loose
against Japan devastation of
bombs, planes, ships and men which
will overwhelm Nippon, restore the
status quo in the Far East and end,
in our time at least, the yellow
peril that has leered at us from
across the Pacific ever since Japan's
victorious war with Russia gave her
rush of ambitions and grandiose
beliefs that have led her to this
brief moment of triumph
The black abyss of utter defeat,
loss of face and a reversion to a
small, unimportant Asiatic power
that will not again menace civiIiza-
tion still awaits Tokyo's war lords.

PULITZER PRIZE WINNER SAYS
PRESIDENT WAS RIGHT

No newspaper columnist has more
angrily detested and suspected most
of the internal operations of the
New Deal than Westbrook Pegler,
noted author and Pulitzer Prize
winner Equally, no newspaper
columnist more admires now the
tenacious bravery of President
Roosevelt in his war policy than
this same author of many criticisms
of the Roosevelt Administration.
In one Of the most recent of his
syndicated columns, entitled Far
Enough" appearing in the Wash
ington Post, Mr.. Pegler refers to
Mr. Roosevelt as the lone man"
who is responsible for the vast i'm
provement of the military fitness of
the United States, achieved from a
standing start after the invasion of
stant faltered in his determination
to get the American Nation in shape
to meet the inevitable"
Long before the war began with
the sneak-punch invasion of Catho-
lie Poland" writes Mr. Pegler, "the
President had made his own decis-
ion that Adolf Hitler was determin-
ed to see the German nation loose,
armed beyond the poor, dumb pow
er of Britain's military men or the
best of ours to imagine, in a cam
paign to enslave Europe and con-
quer the United States.
Having made up his mind on
the basis of plain evidence, Mr..
Roosevelt determined that this
country must fight for it's life
against Hitler and Japan and set
about creating war PSYCHOLOGY in
the American people so that We
would not be caught entirely un.
prepared spiritually or entirely un
armed.

it was considered unlikely that
the members would do other
than accept it.

Vital 10 Title
Big Ten Cage Crown
Expected for tIIini

CHICAGO, Feb. 23-(P-Big
Ten basketball title discussions
could be brought to an almost
conclusive close tonight by an
Illinois victory over Wisconsin
and an Indiana loss to Iowa.
Illinois has won 10 of its IL
games. Indiana, riding the crest
of six-game winning streak,
has taken eight of IL. The Illini
need only two more triumphs for
an assured share of the title, even
If Indiana should win all of its
four remaining encounters. A
Hoosier loss would permit Hi
nois to take the undisputed title,
even if it lost two of the four
remaining contests.
Only a complete collapse of
coach Doug Mills Well-balanced
Sophomore quintet would let
anyone else in on the champion
ship.
TOUGH AT HOME
Standing in the way of Hoo
sier hopes tonight is an Iowa
team that has lost only one con-
ference game at home this sea-
son-that to Minnesota by a
two-point margin.
The Hawkeyes brushed aside
Michigan Saturday night, SO to
38. A Wolverine advantage in
height kept the Iowa players
from working the ball under the
basket in the first half, but they
scored consistently enough from
the field to hold a 1922 margin
at the intermission. In the sec
ond half, the Hawkeyes we're I'M
beatable and after the score
reached so to %, Coach Rollie
Williams started sending in sub
stitutes. Indiana was idle Sat-
urday.
Wisconsin's last longings for a
share of the title the Badgers
won a year ago will meet the
test tonight at Champaign. The
Badgers kept their place in the
first division Saturday by van
gushing Northwestern, SO to AZ,
in a ding dong battle.
WHIP OHIO STATE
Illinois had little trouble in
disposing of Ohio State, AZ to 81.
Early in the second half the
Buckeyes were only two points
behind, - 24-26 - but Illinois
scored IL points while holding
the Bucks at bay to decide the is
sue.
Tonight the Boilermakers en-
gage the seventh-place Wildcats
at Evanston. The evcr-losing
Maroons may have their best
opportunity of the season to
break the string tonight when
they face Michigan, which has
won only three of II games this
season.
Minnesota trounced the tour
ing Great Lakes Naval Training

night and will be idle tonight.
