RELIEF FOR CHINESE
TODAY'S BEST CAUSE

The new things always attract most
attention.
Maybe that is why we all think so much
more of the necessity of keeping Russia
in the war this spring and summer, and
not so much of the necessity of keeping
China in fighting condition.
Besides, we're so used to the thought
that the Chinese will go on fighting that
we don't worry about it as much as we
ought to- They've been fighting longer
than anybody else. The war, for them,
is lot older than it is for the peoples
of Europe, and a very great desl older
than it is for the people of America As
far as fighting the Axis is concerned,
China is something of an institution.
That is all the more reason we should
help the Chinese to the limit of our abil
ity.
Our government is doing it. Planes
and guns and tanks are going to the Chi
nese in belated effort to make up for
our years of mapping and neglect of
cause which, we should have known all
along, was ours as much as theirs. Our
government is furnishing China many
of the sinews of war.
The least We as individuals, can do is
to honor the heroic civilians of China, IN
whose life the terrors of war have be-
come everyday things. The most sens
ble way to honor them is to help them,
with help they need so badly.
The current Chinese Relief drive Of
fers every single individual in this cOun-
try chance to alleviate the suffering
of the people of China, who have fought
the Axis longer than any other people,
and with better results.
We, who look with horror upon the
possibility that our gasoline will be ra-
toned, and who groan because our sugar
is even now being rationed, have little
conception Of what war means to the peo-
pie whose homes are on the front lines.
What we think of as suffering would,
to those people, be the peak of luxury.
Our dollars, in their country, would go
so far that we would indeed be migrate
full if we did not spare them few of those
dollars.
There is no better cause today than the
Chinese Relief drive. Your contribution,
no matter how small, will help that cause
along.

NAVY MEN READY
Alhambra Post-Advocate)

(Alhambra Post-Advocate)
Whatever one may think of official
preparedness for the war in which we
are engaged, it must be admitted that the
fighting men were ready for the worst.
Secretary of the Navy Knox may have
been in error about the extent of our
preparations, but he was right about the
navy'S personnel.
Disasters which have befallen the navy
in the battle of the Pacific prove the
mettle and the resourcefulness of the
American fighting men of the sea. They
have accepted unequal odds in every com
bat and they have battled through with
typical American courage.
Such fighting while the enemy has the
advantage of superior numbers and equip
ment for control of the air, is an earnest
example of what will occur when the
balance shifts.
The navy, we can feel sure, will be
better than ready when the odds are
evened up. Now ready to fight, it will
be ready to conquer when it is fully equip
ped

PEACE OFFENSIVE

The German-Italian Spring peace of
fensive, predicated upon terms which
would end the war with victory for the
Axis, is doomed to complete failure as
far as achieving peace is concerned
and the Axis knows it. Therefore the
idea of the so-called peace offensive is
not to bring peace. A good guess would
be that it is intended, rather, to create
a greater war-weariness among the peo-
piles of the United Nations.
The peace offensive, in other words,
seems to be subtle propaganda trick
intended to weaken the morale of the
United Nations.
Again, we think, the Axis propagan-
dists have underestimate the calibre of
their opponents. If the peace offensive
is given any publicity at all in the Axis
controlled countries - which, however,
seems unlikely-the trick may prove
boomerang. The Axis peoples are un-
doubtedly more war weary, more disap-
pointed and more disillusioned, than the
peoples of the United Nations. And with
better reason.
The people of the United Nations, on
the other hand, are just now getting set
for the fight They are seeing their
power growing toward the point of un-
questioned superiority. 1t is not likely
that thew will take the bait of peace
offensive which would give them only de-
feat.
Well not accept a peace without vic
tory.

BACK TO WORK

(RiVerSide PreSS)
In this war which is so largely indus
trial, and which counts its civilian SOL
dierS by tens of millions, new and half
forgotten resources are being found or
resurrected. The greatest new source is
the women, who in factories and other
lines of work, are making steadily grow
ing contribution.
Another source which is being resur-
rected, if we can use such a phrase in
this instance. is the men who, in middle
age were pushed aside in these later
years as never before in our history. A
situation developed which would have
been incredible in any former age. At
the height of the recent demand for
youth, men of 40, though in perfect
health, wera regarded as too old for en-
ployment Women were often turned
down because they had reached the lad
vanced" age of 35 years. And this in a
period when human life had been length
ened far beyond the average of any for
mer age.
Accident insurance and pension re-
quirements played part in such dis
carding of competent workers The big
factor seems TO have been a failure to
appreciate human values.
1t is certainly reaSSuring to see factory
and office workers and professional peo-
pie, after long and bitter idleness, getting
back into the harness again and showing
the stuff they have had in them all along.
1t is found that veterans of the last war
ARE vitality needed in the ranks of in
dustry and agriculture" and that there
is a place for them, and other workers
past 40, in the gigantic war production
in which we are engaged
Of course there is. And there should
be a place likewise for them when the
war is over. There is never definite linn
it to the work that can be done. In
rational system, in war or peace, work
makes work.

Blamey indicated that the COM

a big part in the fast-moving plans
for the United Nations offensive.
which must strike first at the Japa-
nese invasion zones northeast and
northwest of the continent.
At his first press conference
Blamey said the Allied forces were
determined to take the offensive
and were pointing steadily toward
the moment when they would strike
PROPER MOMENT
But there is also determination
not to do this until we are ready
and convinced of our capacity to
carry it out successfully" he said.
All advocacy of a second front
is wrongly based right now. 1t is
the determination of Allied leaders
to establish such a front when we
are certain it will not be a waste
but that we shall be able to make
a good job of it."
/ Explaining the organization of
the Allied forces, Blamey said he
hoped a great many American Of

He explained, for instance, that
an American division under its own
major general might be included in
an Australian army corps of several

ing American troops would work

regimental and battalion units of
Americans and Australians would
be kept intact.
He said equipment would be pool
ed, because the troops were trained
to use their own types of weapons.
He added that army-air corps
cooperation was already well under
