THE PROBLEM of sufficient
farm labor will loom large for
Delaware farmers during the next
few months, and will increasingly
grow greater as the summer
months arrive. Already those in
authoritative places in our State
are becoming alarmed at the pro-
portions which this prospective
labor shortage may assume. The
State Board of Agriculture, through
its chosen representatives, has
discussed this matter with Public
School authorities in the State,
and means to secure the active CO.
operation of boys and girls of high
school age are being discussed with
the idea of securing their services
in relieving some of the shortages
expected.
: While this is a worthy work, and
the youngsters should be encour-
aged to give their services at suit
able remuneration, this source of
labor will assuredly not be enough
to solve the problem. The Federal
government has provided mobile
labor units which shall be moved
from place to place as the need
arises for their use. But for some
unexplained reason, Delaware has
not been included in this program
of relief for the farmers. We are
reliably informed that our neigh
boring states of Maryland, Penn
sylvania and New Jersey have been
included in the group which>will be
assigned such units. Right now is
the time for our representatives in
Washington-Senator James Tun-
mel, Senator James Hughes, and
Congressman Traynor-to take the
matter up with the proper Federal
authorities and to fight for at
: least one OF these units IN our
state. Their combined efforts as
suredly can secure such relief for
Delaware farmers.

Preparation For War

George Washington warned his
fellow countrymen that they should
constantly be prepared for war. A
recent speaker said they have con-
stantly ignored that warning.
Hence the present war is going to
cost the American people far more
in men and money than it should.
After the Spanish war of 1898,
our country was lulled into the
feeling that no more great wars
would accur. 1t was felt that the
modern world had outgrown such
follies. So the first World war
2 cost us far more than it would
. have, if our people had been pre-
pared. If they had been so pre-
pared. Germany would probably
have let our ships alone, so we
might never have entered that war.
After the first World war. our
people felt that the issues of con-
tention had been settled, and at
least there was no reason why our
country should be involved again
in the conflicts of Europe and Asia.
So again they declined to prepare
adequately for conflict. They per-
mitted Germany and Japan to make
the most elaborate preparations for
war, involving the development of
new weapons, while our govern
ment did little to meet these new
menaces.
However the present war comes
out, it is safe to predict that not
for some time will our people make
this mistake again. When they see
some nation which could attack us
building up great fighting power,
they will at least demand equal or
better preparation on our side.
Then if attacked, they will be able
to meet force with force, and not
have to be driven from any posi-
tion by inferior equipment.
The people who advocated peace
have always had a noble idea. The
world should try to realize it. But
you can't calm lions and tigers in
the jungle by reading poetry to
them, and the human warmakers
can't be tanned merely by preaching
peace.

laps Warned
Gen. TOTO
The Reel War
Only Starting

NEW YORK, Dec. % Up
A grim warning that the United
Nations are planning important
counter strokes and that "the
real war" is only starting was
given the Japanese people over
the weekend by their premier
and war minister, Gen. Hideki
TOTO, but the warning was sug-
AIRED somewhat by flamboyant
japanese claims that the Amer
ican, British and Netherlands
navies have so far lost 38 per
cent of their ships.
In an address to the Diet,
broadcast by the japanese and
German radios, TOTO pointed out
tough military problems in the
Solomons, the Aleutians, India,
and China, and declared Japan
was busy day and night "provid-
ing against air raids and prepar-
ing for future war develop
ments."
He gave the account as an
apparent warning that no early
victory could be expected, but
declared Japan had been streng-
thened by receiving from con-
quered areas in the South Paci-
fire 100000 tons of raw mater
ials, or 20 per cent more than
Nippon's needs for whole year
Naval Minister Admiral Shig-
etaro S h m advanced the
claims of heavy Allied naval
losses - obviously greatly ex-
aggerated - asserting 100000
tons of Allied warships have
been sunk since the war began.

stroyers, SO submarines, and 81

claimed 1874 Allied aircraft -

four carriers - had been dam

ships sunk and SOB captured.
And he added. in this account

Toto limited that trouble might
break out anytime with Russia,

treaty, but said j apan was
ready.
The defenses of our frontier
in the north of Manchukuo,' he
said. have been further streng-
thened in view of the continual
" changing world situation, so
