The Gurund Rifle

Although 1t made a front page
news item. there should have been no
great surprise that the Garand rifle
had proved itself to be a superior
weapon under actual combat condi-
tions in the Philippines. It should
not have been surprising because the
Garand is product of patient work
and careful testing. Bataan was not
its first proving ground.
John c. Garand, a highly skilled
mechanic, began working at least as
far back as 1924 on an improved
rifle, his purpose being to perfect a
weapon of proper weight and balance
which would utilize the pressure Of
discharge gases for reloading This
took a long time, but the desired
result finally was achieved-a rifle
that could be fired eight times with
out taking the sights off the target.
After the weapon had been per-
fected by it's designer, however, it
had yet to weather the rigors of
official testing and prolonged contro-
versy. Army and Navy officials
soaked the gun in salt water, fired
it as often as 5000 times without
cleaning and exposed it to generous
doses of mud and sand. 1t with
stood them all.
Thus, when General Macarthur
announced that the rifle had de-
veloped no mechanical defects and
had been fired for long periods from
foxholes on the Bataan front with
out clogging from dust and dirt, the
news certainly came as no surprise
to the man who perfected the
weapon nor to the service officers
who had tested it.

The Enemy

An accredited writer in the semi
official Infantry Journal has warned
his fellow officers and the American
public at large that the war ma
chine of Japan is "as completely
equipped as any in the world" and
the japanese fighters probably as
efficient as the average in Europe"
Specifically, the same author de-
clares that the army which Japan
has put in the field is well fed and
well provided with materiel.
Supporting these opinions, recent
bulletin of the National Geographic
Society points out the fallacy of
thinking of the Japanese Empire as
little" With "a population of about
100,000,000 people and an area Of
some 100000 square miles," it some
times has been called the Britain Of
the East During the past few years
"a number of chemical and heavy
industry plants, turning out ma
chinery, tools, vehicles and various
metal products of machine-age COM
merce and war" have been added to
many textile and light-industry
factories" of earlier date. Especially
significant has been the large-scale
economic development of Man
chukuo under Japanese domination
since its occupation In 1931-1932.

able stands of timber and much

This Crucial Sprinu

President, Roosevelt has written
Chairman Nelson Of the War Pro-
duction Board directing him to take
every possible step to raise produc-
tion now, to bring home to labor and
management alike the supreme i'm
portance of war production this
crucial spring"
The Presidents letter was made
public just few days after the SEN
ate, over administration protests,
had approved farm bloc legislation
which experts say would boost the
cost of living by billion dollars.
1t was made public just one day
after the House, by the overwhelm-
ing vote of 22S to 81, had gone on
record against the lifting for the
duration of the war of legislation
requiring payment of time-and-a-
half wages for work in excess of forty
hours. The legislation was adopted
in the first place to discourage and
penalize overtime work. Admins
tration Spokesmen told the House on
Friday, however, that it is now neces-
sary to pay time-and-a-half rates to
encourage and maintain overtime.
On the same day that the PreSi-
dents letter was made public the Sec
retary of Labor reported that there
were 155 new strikes involving ap-
proximately 32,5OO workers in Jan
uary Strikes in progress during the
month-on the eve of the crucial
spring-caused 100000 man-days of
idleness. The Secretary's report
found nothing to criticize in this time
loss, but pointed out that there were
only two-thirds as many strikes last
January as there were in January,
1941, and that only about one-third
as many workers were involved.
In his Monday night report to the
Nation the President said that even
one plane, one tank, one gun or one
ship may prove decisive at the scene
of action. How many planes, guns,
ships or tanks will fail to reach the
fighting fronts in time because of last
January's strikes, even though they
were less serious than those of jan
uary, 1941?
The President is we'll advised to
call upon labor and management for
greater understanding and greater
effort. But why not bring Congress
and some Of the members of his of
fetal family within the scope of this
appeal?

nesium, coal and iron, and Japan
already has developed there an ex-
panding industrial plant for iron and
steel. Also valuable for mineral and
food resources are the Japanese
Empire possessions of Chosen,
Taiwan and Karafuto" from which
gold, coal and oil are obtained.
The Geographic Society notes in
the text of Its survey that "few
official Japanese figures" on produc-
ton have been available" since 1885,
but stresses the fact that "the Jap
anese Empire long has (been) en-
gagged in program of fostering and
augmenting its resources through
colonization and intensified produc-
zion methods both within its own
boundaries and in regions under its
control. Recent conquests and
favorable trade agreements in
Southeast Asia Chavez added to its
war-needed stores" With cheap and
servile labor in abundance-based on
a home territory population density
Of 469 to the square mile-the lately
occupied portions of French Indo-
China, Siam, the Philippines and the
Malay Peninsula promptly will be
exploited to the limit.
If the setting forth of such truths
be questioned, William Shakespeare,
most competent of all literary inter-
prefers Of war, supplies the answer.
In the second act of Henry v he
writes:
Tis best to weigh
The enemy more mighty than he
seems;
So the proportions of defence are
fill'd;
Which Of weak and niggardly pro-
lection
Doth, like miser, spoil his coat with
scanting
A little cloth.

ideals. While with humility we recog-
nize the commonness of the sin that has
shadowed and brought misery upon the
world, we also recognize that the forces
that have precipitated this worldwide
catastrophe are in open and violent
opposition to that concept of life given
to men by Jesus Christ. Possibly at no
time in the Christian era have the lines
OF cleavage been so definitely drawn and
fixed as they are today. On the other
hand, large areas Of the Occident and
the Orient alike have at length found
their unity in Him, who proclaimed
Himself to be the Saviour Of all kindreds,
races and peoples. Neither speech, nor
language, nor color Of skin, can divide
those who believe in the way Of life
given to mankind by Jesus Christ.
Its conceits and boasted pride, has sud-
denly challenged the claims of those who
deeply, If imperfectly. recognize the
Christian way of life.
If out Of this titanic struggle, this
disorder and confusion and bitterness
of strife, the ties of better and truer
world Christian fellowship are to be
secured, then all the blood and sacrifice
it costs will be worth the high ends
attained. If the noble aims and purposes
Christ designed for His followers can be
made more evident in a cleansed and
purified human society we shall find
ourselves reconciled to the frightful out
lay they entail.
May 1t not be that those of the on
coming generation are to create a new,
more wholesome and satisfying way of
life? 1t will require imagination, yes,
and the high expression Of a fortified
and heroic Christian faith. The world of
tomorrow must be more just and equi-
table, less selfish and acquisitive; it must
be world in which human rights are
maintained, where advantage is not to
the few, but opportunity to the many.
Freedom in this new human society must
not be license to some and regimented
living to others. To this newness of
life man as yet has not attained, but it
is his hope and his persistent quest.
Have we the courage to read into the
tragedy that has come upon us the sure
promise of better world that is to be?

Ten-riour BIuckout

The resentment and ill-will which
has been aroused by the Commits
sioners order for ten-hour black
out Tuesday night seems to be based
on the belief that it is designed more
for coercive than test purposes.
Colonel Lemuel Bolles, executive
OF District civilian defense, has
stated that the test is being held to
see what blackeut preparations have
been made in private homes, stores,
restaurants, industrial plants not
essential to national defense, apart
ments, hotels and theaters.
This is determination which OBJ
viously should be made, but why
should it take ten hours to ascertain
the facts? Colonel Bolles contends
that flfteen-minute blackout would
not suffice because some people
would merely turn off their lights for
those few minutes and sit in the
dark. That is probably correct, but
would they likewise be content to
turn off their lights and sit in the
dark If the test were for one or two
hours, and liable to be repeated from
time to time? The answer probably
Is that they would not.
If 1t be correct that a one or two
hour blackout, repeated from time
to time, would reveal whether the
people of the District have made
proper blackout preparations, then
what is the reason for a ten-hour
blackout? Certainly, in the absence
of any other explanation, it is only
reasonable to suppose that the ex-
tended time is intended to compel
delinquentS to take the necessary
steps by making it too uncomfortable
for them to do otherwise. But,
whatever may be said in behalf of
this approach to the problem, it over
looks the fact that a ten-hour test
blackout also works needless hard
ship on those who have already
taken the requisite precautions. Why
should a man who has properly at
tended to the backing out of refuge
room be compelled to spend the bet
ter part Of the night in it so that
the authorities may put pressure on
his neighbor in the next block to
take like precautions?
This does not mean that the local
officials should be criticized in en-
deavoring to insure full blackout
protection for the city. 1t is the
method they. have chosen, not their
purpose, that is open to criticism. In
view Of their own lack of progress in
other directions, particularly in the
matter of providing adequate air
raid warning facilities, the officials
responsible for the Tuesday night
order might we'll have tried to &C
complish their purpose through
shorter blackout periods and full use
OF the penalty provisions which have
been provided for willful violators.
II these less drastic methods had
failed, there still would have been
ample time-judging from the slow
ness with which the officials them
selves have moved toward full air.
raid preparedness a Crack
down" on the city as a whole.
