trapped inside the submersible, had
to watch their craft take dive I'M
der the water, leaving them to swim.
Three were picked up-one drowned.
The rest Of the crew died below at
their stations, in 301 feet of water.
It did not seem that the American
plan Of keeping the sealanes open
was like the British, to run ships in
heavy conveys, for most of the sink
ings reported were of "single birds
rather than groups Of ships, as had
been the record of British losses.
But they were, nevertheless, Sc
we're, and seemed to show that the
Nazis were sending large numbers Of
submarines, some of them Of the
largest type, far across the ocean
to attack coastwise vessels.
They also seemed to be aiming
particularly at tankers, and so many
had been sunk that Petroleum Ad-
ministrator Ickes began preparing
the eastern states again for a likely
shortage Of gasoline and fuel oil.

organized and supplied, but by the
unrest of India, as evidenced by the
fact that the house of lords was con-
sidering giving the Hindus all they
had been asking for, and what, in
many instances, they had been
jailed for demanding.
Burma, for instance, where one of
these vital struggles was taking
place, was hotbed of anti-British
sentiment among the higherups, this
attitude making the defense of the
shores of the Irawaddy river be-
tween Rangoon and Manadalay
doubly difficult.
Yet China's miracle-working COO
lies were hard at labor creating
two, perhaps three new Burma
roads, which would have outlets at
points other than Rangoon, besides
the fact that China was sending
strong military forces southwark
to protect the present road.
Many realized, however, that be-
tween the Hindus, the British and
the Chinese were many gaps In I'M
derstanding, the latter tending to
wonder whether the British under
stood the important nature Of the
Far East war, and whether the Hin
dus were anxious to take any part in
it other than to surrender.
Chief benefit to United Nations
unity, however, was the fact that
the Japanese, instead of fighting
with propaganda, were coming in as
the hated military invader. This,
it was hoped, might finally result in
their downfall.
Certain it was that America, per-
haps as overconfident on the Pa
cific situation as the British, were
rapidly waking up to the serious
ness of the conditions in the battle
field, and joined by the Australians
were making ready to do something
drastic about it.
Two things stood out-Wavelps
calm promise that Singapore must
hold out for ''great reinforcements"
were on the way; and second, that
General Percival, in charge Of Singa-
pores defenders, said "of course"
Singapore would be held.
Evacuation of at least a part Of
Britain's naval forces from the naval
base had been deemed military
expediency, sort of clearing the
decks for the siege, and it was
obvious that the British were not
going to be cleared from the Pacific
stronghold without a bitterest kind Of
fight.
Shortly after the siege had begun.
Japanese troops, crossing at low
tide the narrow channel between the
mainland and the island, began their
attack. Slowly they pushed back the
beleaguered British troops who con-
tested each foot of ground that they
were forced to relinquish.
The Japanese showed the same
brand Of fight here as they dis
played against MacArthur's men.

JAP SPIES:
Caught in Net

That the FBI had not been sleeping
on it's guns since December 2 has
become evident in the announce
ment of Series of widespread raids
on the Pacific coast.
One hundred agents Of the FB1
swooped down on a Japanese colony
overlooking the upper army reserve
ton of Fort Macarthur, near Los
Angeles and took into custody a
number of Japanese.
They also seized quantities Of Axis
propaganda, firearms, cameras, ra.
dos and other contraband.
They found a revolver, SO rounds
of ammunition, Axis propaganda
and other material hidden away in
a secret place on one farm.
At the same time a group OF four
Japs was arrested. near Portland.
Ore, in the Bonneville dam area,
and considerable quantity Of dyna-
mite was found in their possession.
Six more Japanese were arrested
at Portuguese Bend in southern
California, and revolvers, rifles,
motion picture cameras, radio equip
ment, flashlights and large cam
era were seized.

AS the congress made ready the
first 500, 0O0, 900 for civilian defense,
the spotlight of publicity was turned
on various appointees who would
serve on Mrs. Roosevelt's section OF
the nationwide OCD.
AS matter Of fact, congressman
themselves were leaders in the criti-
cism of the appointees at the very
same time that they, themselves,
were being lampooned and laughed
at from coast to coast for taking
action on bill to put congressman
who had been defeated into the PEN
sion plan for civil service workers.
One group on the Pacific coast
started a "bundles for congress-
men, movement in an effort to
laugh the bill into defeat.
But the OCD row not only involved
the representative themselves, but
caused a mountain of mail to fall
on Washington.
Mayris CLANCY, vaudeville
dancer and protege and friend OF
Mrs. Roosevelt, named to $4,000
Job as children's activities director
for physical fitness; and Melvyn
Douglas, film-star named to an
So 900 job (while working) to direct
the arts division of the setup, were
the central figures of most of the
criticism.
But some newspapers, leading the
fight against Mrs. Roosevelt's
group, began publishing lists and
backgrounds, and one paper ran
cartoon which said, quoting Repre-
sentative .Faddis, when the Dies
committee exposes someone, that in
dividual Immediately is given
job"
The word "boondoggling," which
had not been banded about on edi-
torial pages for some years, made
its appearance again, and congress-
men leaders of the opposition de-
clared their desks flooded with
congratulatory mail.

MENACE:
OF Jap Culture

AS the tentacles of the huge Jap
anese advance throughout the south
west Pacific stretched themselves
across the map, it was evident that
the couture offensive" of the Nip
ponese throughout Asia was a most
grandiose scheme that might yet
cause the United Nations all their
utmost power to circumvent.
Observers found it obvious that
Japan was playing on the anti
Christian tendencies Of the entire
Moslem world in the hope that some
day all these millions might be bow
ing to the Mikado, from the brown
races of eastern Asia all the way to
the tribes of North Africa.
The vital battles Of this war found
Britain menaced not only by the
necessity of keeping far-fung forces

s'down UNDER" were grimly and
seriously readying themselves for
the most determined war effort in
their history.
Another evidence that first-class
and large American support was ar
irving in the area was seen in the
announcement that an American,
Vice Admiral H. F. Leary, had been
appointed head Of the naval forces
operating in the Australia-New Zea-
land area.
A new American naval command,
officially titled Omitted States Naval
Forces, Southwest Pacific" also
was created. Vice Admiral William
A. Glassford, it had been announced,
had been placed in command of this

Both are in their fifties, Glassford

Of Washington. Both win serve

Just when the nation was wonder

FROM THE WILDERNESS
TO SMALL TOWN PEACE

FROM THE WILDERNESS
TO SMALL TOWN PEACE
AFTER MORE THAN half a GEN.
fury of wandering in the wilderness
of a great metropolitan city, am
at home again in country town.
Fifty years among strangers; mill
lions of strange faces, with only the
occasional friendly smile or cheer
full greeting from one you knew or
with whom you had speaking ac-
quaintance; pushing, driving through
crowds with whom you had nothing
in common, other than that they,
too, were among strangers, as I
was, and were fighting their way
through a wilderness.
And now, after so years Of lost
time, / am at home again in coun-
try town, where, as walk down
the street, I get a cheerful smile
and a friendly greeting from each
person I meet; where the little chill
dren take me by the hand and with
their childish faces turned upward,
tell me of their joys and sorrows,
their playmates and their toys.
Back again to the beauties of tree
bordered streets, to flowers, lawns,
gardens and fruit trees. Back again
to neighbors I can, and do, know
and am neighborly with-neighbors
who have a friendly interest in my
welfare and who would be con-
cerned il / were i'll or suffered mis-
fortune of any kind; neighbors with
whom I can visit across the fence
or hedge, and with them compare
notes as to orange or persimmon or
walnut trees; neighbors who offer
kindly comment on the appearance
Of my lawn and roses; who express
a bit of friendly envy about my
bouganvillea vine and acacia tree,
a great dome of small golden balls.
Back again to where people drop
in, not to ''call'' as proper and
formal thing to do, but to visit be-
cause they like you and want to
come. Back to where there are no
inequalities, no class distinctions.
Back to where you are not SUBJ
ject of prey, where those you meet
do not, as in the wilderness of the
city, figure on the value you may be
to them. The doctor meets you on
the street and noticing you have
cold, he suggests what to do for it,
with no thought of sending a bill for
services rendered.
Back again to where the birds
sing at your window and flash their
brilliant plumage through the shrub
berry; where the dogs meet you with
wagging tails. Back to the beauties
as nature made them, and away
from the monstrosities Of the city
wilderness.
Would that might have another
so years to enjoy the luxuries of
my country town as compensation
for the half century spent in the
wilderness.

sent to the bottom, only 200 miles
off New York harbor, one of the
biggest freighters plying the seven

Yet the navy department assured
Americans that many German subs

their fight in the Atlantic, and that
the Nazi navy was finding it an ex-

LUZON:
Epic of Defense

Eyewitness stories of MacArthur's
men in action began to filter in from
the Luzon front, and though they
were delayed, the spirit they showed
bore out the feeling of the man
in the street. that the Battle of Ba-
taan was a heroic struggle in the
extreme.
These stories pictured the Japa-
nese as fanatical fighters, battling
to the death, trembling and moan
ing, perhaps, when cornered,
trapped and about to die, but hurl-
ing themselves into the fray, and
forcing the American-Filipino troops
to shoot them down rather than sur
render.
One correspondent told of seeing
an American captain, waving a
bloody-bandaged arm, shouting "sur-
render, you -s, we have you sur
rounded"-and getting the reply
from the trapped Japs, in perfect
English, 'Nerts to you, Joel"
The American tank crews were
forced to run down and trample into
their foxholes small bands of Jap
suicide battalion" that had tried
to land behind MacArthur's lines.
Yet, outside Of these repelling
skirmishes between bands Of 100 to
300 of the enemy, and of frontal
attacks in greater force, it was evil
dent that MacArthur's position was
ever-narrowing, ever-shrinking.
The Japanese land batteries had
Forts Drum and Hughes and Mills
under fire, and the duels between
the huge guns of the forts and the
more numerous field guns of the in
vaders continued with indecisive re-
suit.
Meantime, the average American,
glowing with pride over the achieve
ment of the men on Luzon, worried
because no reinforcements had ar
rived, and prayed that help might
come before the gallant defenders
were hurled back on Corregidor and
to ultimate surrender or perhaps
evacuation in another ''Dunkirk.

AMERICA TODAY HAS
NO GOVERNING CLASS

THE YEAR was 1919. A group OF
business and professional men,
many of them of national reputa-
ton, were meeting in Chicago for
the purpose of devising ways and
means of securing the enactment
by congress of a compulsory, uni
versal military training law to ap-
ply to young men between the ages
of 10 and Il.
l objected to the title Of the bill.
"You cannot get support for the pro-
posal under the title of Military
Training Law" I insisted. "The
steel workers of South Chicago, the
farmers of Iowa will not support a
project to make soldiers. They will
support law to train their sons
in citizenship"
One of those present said: "Why
should we change the title because
it may not appeal to the steel work.
ers or the farmers?" he asked. 1T
is our class that must do the think
ing for the nation"
The title was not changed. The
bill was never enacted into law. 1t
is the voters who do the thinking
for the nation, who determine what
laws we shall have.
The business and professional peo-
pie of America realize that today.
They may lead along practical
and unselfish lines, but they cannot
drive. America does not counte-
nance governing class, whether it
be business leaders. labor leaders,
farmers, or any others.

REAL PATRIOTISM
IN WARTIME

PATRIOTISM is something more
than hurting epithets at the enemy,
or shouting Of ones love Of country.
Patriotism is more Of doing than
of talking. It is an evidenced will
ingness to sacrifice for the common
good. The manufacturer who de-
rnands a profit on war materials at
the expense of the nation is not a
patriot, nor is the workman who
LAYS down his tools because Of either
a real or fancied grievance when
the nation needs his services.
During World War I, I knew a
German-born American citizen who
headed large American plant, and
the government needed the entire
production Of that plant. It was run
ming to capacity on profitable COM
mercial orders. When asked If he
would accept the government or
der, the head of this plant said he
would do so under one condition.
His own cost experts and cost ex-
perts named by the government were
to independently determine the cost
of production. The lowest figure as
determined by these experts must be
the price.
