The charge by Pravda, Communist
newspaper in Moscow, that declaring
Manila an open city was an "act OF
cowardice" struck me as very signlfi-
cant. 1T highlights one of the toughest
problems confronting us during the
conduct of the war and in the post
war reconstruction period.
We all know why General Macarthur
declared Manila an open city. Appar-
emily the defenses available for the
city were woefully inadequate, and the
declaration was made and the military
withdrawn in an effort to save it.
While the wisdom of the step might
DE debated in view of japanese tactics
in the war, calling it "cowardice' is
silly. We in America still prefer to
avoid visiting the horrors of war on
women, children and civilians, and
believe the spiritual strength which
that attitude gives us outweighs in the
long run any temporary advantage
which might have been gained by q
street to street defense of Manila.
The criticism by Pravda, it seems tc
me, springs from a basic difference In
philosophy between democracy ano
communism. To communism, individ-
ual life means little, the end justifie:
almost any means.
In our democracy, on the other hand
the individuals life and rights are
| very important, to have repeated!
rejected the sophistry that the enc
| justifies the means, and while we lool
confidently to the future, we want tt
keep our link to the past and preserve
from that past what has proven good
While there is no argument as t.
the value to democracy Of Russia
valiant fight against the Nazis, be
lieve we should keep in mind con
stantly this fundamental difference
and particularly should keep it befor
us in the postwar period. Communism
is just as abhorrent to our system a
is naziism, the only difference bein
that the latter attempted to dominant
the world by forces whereas the com
munists used propaganda.
But there is little doubt in my min
that communists will attempt to us
the chaos and trouble of the post-wa
period to spread their system, and
will take an alert and informed peopl
to stop their drive.

TALL timber
TALES
BY A. K. u.

Many resort owners here have their
fingers crossed concerning the 1912
season, but from S. Valentine Saxby,
executive secretary of the Minnesota
Arrowhead association, comes the
statement that the government will
insist on relaxation and respite from
the strenuous job of winning the war
as an important phase of keeping up
civilian morale.
The Arrowhead association, Saxby
declares, is widening the scope of it's
operations and carrying the message
of health and well-being to the center
of the nation, and this year it expects a
greater response than ever before.
The imperative need of individuals
engaged in the unprecedented war
program to keep fit is expected to boost
the influx of visitors to lake shore
retreats throughout the year, he said,
as thousands seek brief relief from the
strain of jobs, restoring bodies and
minds for more work to be done.
80
First question arising is: When will
defense workers, many on a 10-hour,
seven day week find time to take a
vacation?
The answer would seem to come from
the experience of England, way ahead
of us in contact with war problems,
that there is a point reached when
production can be pushed no farther.
Then added hours or days actually re-
suit in less production, for the human
body and mind has done its best, and
only the will to carry on keeps them
in action.
1t is apparent, therefore, that an
occasional vacation is not only in
order, but because it has permitted
worker to get away from it all for a
time production, in the long run, will be
equal at least to all the work, no play
efforts.
Just how vacation plans will be
arranged for the over-taxed and
vitality important war industries re-
mains to be seen, but it is safe to
assume that some sort of system will
be worked out.
"Travel Strengthens America" is
slogan suggested by Saxby as express
ing the role of the Arrowhead as it
formulates plans for the coming
season.
"We are preparing for busy year"
he declared, "and particularly in these
strenuous times can We as individuals
and an organization serve our nation by
aiding those engaged in the exacting
duties of the nations defense"
