Parasites" Told 10 Get

BY JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20-Presi-

off again and not in some time
has he uncovered SO much contro-
yefsy in Washington, D. c., as
when he suggested that all the

way for war workers.
Insurance statesmen, grocery
clerks, society leaders, dollar-a-
year men, and members of doz-
en- other categories are either de-
Tending themselves or asking their
best friends: Am / a Parasite?'
And even their BEST friends will
tell them yes" or no" Because

I think it is rather amusing that
the biggest protest to the Presi-

who have lived in Washington all
cur lives" These people don't have
a vote in local or national affairs.
Their representation in government
employment is negligible Yet they
thrive as the capital thrives. Their
business booms as govern m e n t

generations have been during World
War I and World War II. They
are the real estate dealers, the

(BY ASSOCIATED PRESS


Russia today declared her great
winter offensive is rolling on un-
checked and crushing German
counter attacks with bloody losses.
The Soviet army newspaper Red
Star confidently predicted defeat
for Hitler's spring campaign and
the collapse of his armies this
year, asserting that the fighting
coalition of the United States,
Britain and Russia far surpass
Germany in both resources, man
power and reserves.
Economic resources mean the
final decision" Red Star declared.
THE help we are receiving from
our allies is growing continuously
Red Star added that Hitler al
ready suffered the loss of 100000
men in Russia and can not replen-
ish his manpower.
A bulletin from Hitler's head
quarters acknowledged the Russians
are on the offensive but reiterat-
ed its unsubstantiated claim that
Red forces on the Moscow front
have been encircled.

.JApS STEER
AROUND JAVA
10 HIT BALI
Fierce Battle RACES on
IdyIIie South Sea
Island
(BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

With the Jap invasion of the
idyllic islands of Bali and Timor,
according to claims from Tokyo. the
invaders are attempting to Isolate
the United Nations forces at Java
and bypass that stronghold for
direct attack on Australia. Pre-
vious indications were that the Japs
would have to take Java before at
tempting an invasion Of Britain's
huge sea continent below it.
But the waters around Bali were
threshed today with exploding tor
pedoes. bombs and shells from war
ships and bombing planes as the
United Nations closed with the Japs
in an apparently unsuccessful battle
I against strong, sea-borne invasion
force on the cleaning beaches Of
Bali.
Defenders were again exacting a
heavy price in the Japanese at
tack. but evidently not heavy
enough. Nipponese landing parties
warmed from transports and cut
through the white surf in landing
barges, despite counter blows dealt
by Allied war planes, surface craft
J and submarines.
The defenders scored direct bomb
hits on one or more Japanese cruis-
ers and three transports, and eight
near misses on deStrovers
According to an early COM
munique from United Nations head
quarters, four Jap fighting planes
were shot down in flames and the
defending air force returned to its
base intact.

WASHINGTON-One week after
Pearl Harbor, Wendell Willkie was
invited to lunch at the White
House. During his visit Willkie
gave this friendly, frank advice to
the President:
"You have come through this
pearl Harbor) in very good shape
The American people are solidly
behind you. They realize it wasn't
your fault. But the thing you've
got to guard against is another mis-
take. If there should be another
great catastrophe the reaction will
be different"
Fortunately, the downfall of
Singapore, catastrophe as it is, is
not regarded as Roosevelts fault.
However, some of the resentment
of which Wendell Willkie warned is
beginning to creep into the press,
the letters to Congress and the gen.
eral neighborhood conversation.
Very definitely, feeling of less
confidence is beginning to permeate
the country. The public feels less
confidence in the Navy--which the
American people had considered the
finest and most powerful in the
world. And there is less confidence
in the Roosevelt Administration and
the general way things are being
run in Washington.
Nobody knows better than the
President himself what a tragedy
this is. For the one great thing
which resulted from Pearl Harbor,
and which almost made up for our
losses, was an absolutely unified
nation.
PEARL HARBOR MYSTERY
That unity is slowly evaporating.
first because too great feeling of
optimism was radiated from high
places Immediately after Pearl Har-
Dor and since; second, because the
public, not even today. has been CIV
en- any real idea of how deyaStat-
ing were the losses at Pearl Har-
Dor.
Because the public never was
told the blunt, sickening truth re-
garding these losses, it does not
now realize why the U. S. Navy
was not able to help Singapore, why
we were not even able to send a
rescue fleet to the beleaguered
Marines at Wake Island.
And because people still do not
know the full losses of Pearl Har-
Dor, they are inclined to think that
