We can send planes to Rus

We can send planes to

We can send them to all

TRIENDS and fellow citi-

We are altogether too COM

We are too cOmplacent
about a Congress which taxes
us to destruction for war pur-

billion dollars a year of that
war money for political boom

We are too cOmplacent
about a government which
loads its payrOlls down with

WASHINGTON, March 10 tUP)
United States naval and All

every one they have taken in tho
Pacific, were said today by naval
experts to have sunk or damaged
about one-third of the cruisers and
aircraft carriers Japan possessed
at the start OF the war.

AGAINST Macarthur.
"HEN again. there were

But we managed to get
planes and trucks and sup
plies and equipment through

And these were, for the
most part. burned $50 the de-
SpatchcS say where they
lay i'm the warehouses when
the British set the torch to
the town.
These planes and supplies
and equipment would have
done Macarthur and his
brave men Il lot of good, and
would have served to keep the
American flag flying in glory
over American possessions II
We had taken a. much trouble
tn reach the American lines at
Bataan as we took to reach
the British lines at RangOon
and Singapore.
Moreover, we can rest as
sured that Macarthur would
not have left the planes on
the landing fields to be cap
tured by the laps. nor would
he have burned the supplies
and equipment in a sustained
plan of perpetual retreat.
THEN. finally, the glib
mOuthpieces of the adj
ministratiOn assured its
gaping, gullible followers
(whO stretched out their con-
fiding necks and opened wide
their eager mouths like little
blind birds in a nest, to gulp
whatever was pushed into
them that our government
could not fly planes to Mac
Arthur's aid because Mac
Arthur had no airplane fields
on which the planes could
land.
And a few days later we
read with patriotic pride how
Macarthur took the few
planes he possessed and flew
to sea and sank several
Japanese troop ships and
drowned several thousand
Japanese soldiers.
How did he do this without
airfields?
What did he start his planes
frOm-a haystack?
What did he land them on
when the planes came back

Somebody is prevaricating
