scaie and that the enemy is at- Tempting to increase her strength Aan the Aleutians.
 Japan's purpose, some observers 5elieve, is to protect her flank nkainst the United States for an at- tack on Siberia, just as the cam paign in China is to protect the main islands from American bomb- lefs based on Chinese fields.
 It is obvious that the Japanese like Hitler, are almost impelled to make a major war move this year < sbecause growing allied strength, spartacularly of the United States, greatly lessens the chance of suc- cess in l943.
 Early victory in the China war. s'nOw in its sixth year, does not seem probable. The Chinese report that gthey actually are getting more sup piles by allied air transport than they used to get over the Burma Road.
 China also Is calling up 5000, ,O0O z @AAsU&G v AACAL " A4N4 V6oC AAO4 GAA AAACn to 26,O0O,0O0.
 It would seem good strategy for the Japanese to move into Siberia, where they have good prospects of success. The time to do 1t would be now, when Russia is exerting every ounce of her strength and re- sources to stem Hitler in European
 2usSia.
 It is not likely that Russia would be able to divert an army from the western front to defend Siberia. If she did, Hitler might previal and Russia would be crushed between Germany and Japan.
 The Japanese thus stand to gain q great deal by attacking Russia. If the attack is made, American military observers believe, 1t is most likely to come at the end of this month or early in August.

between Mostar and Nevesinje, a spokesman for the JugoSlav gov. ernment in exile said.
 The perfect of police at Horjula and Nicola Zita, an official of a Fascist organization, also were re- ported slain, along with two other officials who were not identified.
 The Jugoslav spokesman said re- ports indicated more than 1000 per- sons had been killed in reprisal for these deaths, including 700 killed fat Zagreb when Major Helm gestapo chief, was fatally shot. More reprisals are expected and hundreds of hostages are being taken and threatened with execution if other Axis representatives are killed.
 There were no immediate reports of Bastille Day celebrations in oc- cupied France, where communica- tions are under Nazi control. Ger man authorities had forbidden cele- brations and imported heavy Ges- tapo endorsements to see that there were none, besides specifying severe reprisals that would be exacted of patriots families and hostages seized beforehand.
 A United Press correspondent in Vichy telephoned the United Press bureau in Berne, Switzerland, that two women had been killed and five hurt in the Marseilles Bastille Day celebration and that there was a serious clash in Lyon. Just after he said the shootings in Marseilles were done by Doriot supporters, the telephone connection was cut of.
 It was cut off again when he said that legionnaires, who had sworn al- legiance to Marshal Henri Philippe Petain, could not stop patriots from placing bouquets on the monument of the third republic in Vichy.
 The correspondent subsequently, cabled that 300 Nationalist" had braved heavy distribution of po- lice to parade before the monument of the third republic, not far from Petain's hotel. They wore the blue, white and red tricolor, in bouquets of flowers.
 There were more demonstrations at Place Bellecour, Lyons, at Place Messina, Nice, and at Toulouse, Clermont- -Ferrand, Grenoble and Limoges. Refugees from Alsace- Lorraine demonstrated in provincial dress.
 Tn several places, where demon- strations numbered thousands, fire men turned hoses on them for sing ing the national anthem, "The Mar seillaisez."
 Two hundred words of the cable were censored.
 The Royal Air Force dropped al- most 5,000,000 leaflets WI t t e n by British Foreign Minister An thony Eden on occupied and unoc- cupied France yesterday.
 They assured the French that Britain had no designs on their CO., lonial possessions and praised them for recognizing the perfidy of the invader and resisting him.

WHO DIRECTS FAT SAVING

A nationwide program to recover and use the estimated 2,000, ,000, 900 pounds of cooking fats wasted each year has been launched by the War Production Board. It is directed by Lessing J. Rosenwald, chief of the Bureau of Industrial Conserva- ton. Responsible for its success are state and local salvage con- mittees under the Off1ec of Civilian Defense.
 WHY WASTE KITCHEN FATS ARE NEEDED
 Waste kitchen fats make glycer- inc and glycerine makes explo- sives. Since the war has complete ly cut of all supplies of vegetable oils from the Dutch East Indies and the Philippines, this loss must be made up from the kitchens of America.
 WHAT KINDS OF FATS SHOULD BE SAVED
 Save all kitchen fats after the cooking good has been got out of them. This means bacon grease, drippings from steak or roast,

LET FARM PRICES
BE CONTROLLED

We believe American farmers are more
intelligent as a class, than the supposed
reflection of them in congress would
seem to indicate.
We believe the farmers, as body,
would not vote to support the efforts OF
the so-called farm bloc in Washington
to wind so much red tape around farm
price control that there would actually be
no control. If industrial wages were con-
trolled first, as they should be, the farm
ers would be among the first to demand
strict control OF farm prices.
The farmers we know buy most of their
groceries in town. If prices go up, they
have to pay the increased prices. When
they buy farm produce" in town, they
not only pay out whatever increases they
themselves have gotten from sale of the
raw material, but they pay also the IN
creases which go to the middleman. They
get more for their hogs, for instance, but
when they buy bacon in town, the in
crease in the price of bacon represents
a lot more than the increases which the
farmer obtained The farmer loses on
the deal.
Price Administrator Leon Henderson
told a senate committee Tuesday that
minimum ceilings on farm prices pro-
posed in the new anti-inflatlon bill
would not be price control, but price
raising" Furthermore, the proposal
would, if enacted, freeze prices at cut
throat levels on some goods retailed un-
der the farm produce classification.
The farmer doesn't want that, any more
than the city clerks housewife does He
does, however, want fair break with
other labor In some instances, he is not
yet getting it. More on this subject to-
morrow.
AS a class, the American farmer is an
extremely intelligent individual. He has
for years been denied good prices, and
so demands them when he can get them.
He must do so, in the interest of self
preservation. But the farmers native in
telligence shows him that there is point
beyond which he cannot take advantage
of critical situation without himself
becoming the victim of the crisis. That
point has been reached in the price con-
troll effort. and most of the farmers
know it. They are not to be taken in by
political vote-getting tactics. They are
ready to accept price control, knowing
that it is the only thing which will save
them, along with the rest of the country,
from initiation.
Congress. if it wants to win the ap'
proval of the farmer, must stop its vote
getting boondoggling and settle down to
do the things which must be done.
