Washington, ID. c.

Washington, d. c.
1t is an open secret that the high
commands of the United Nations
have agreed to postpone the hope
of a general offensive for a year
possibly two.
Circumstances have forced the re-
writing of the old military adage
which says The best defense is Of
Tense" The axis powers were pre-
pared for war before they started
fighting. The United Nations had to
prepare after they started fighting.
The axis powers choose their
time and place for battle. They
have the initiative. For the United
Nations. because they have no
choice, the best offcnse is defense.
Besides preparation. the axis pow
ers-Germany and Italy in Europe
and Japan in Asia-have another
advantage. geographical position.
That is, their supply lines radiate
out from their own or occupied terri
tory, to the fronts on which they
choose to fight.
Although the total naval power of
the United Nations is greater than
that of the axis. it is so widely
spread that it cannot contact the
enemy at any one point where the
enemy is not superior. In places
where the enemy lacks ships it
more than makes up in air
power.
When the United Nations have
trained and equipped land forces
and have constructed naval air
forces superior in quantity to the
axis they will have an ever greater
advantage than mere numbers of eff
fective man power. Then they will
be able to take the initiative and
when the axis is placed on the de-
f~ensive, the latter powers will have
one of their advantages of today
turned into a disadvantage. namely.
their geographical positions. They
will become prisoners to sea power.
Sea power will cut them off from
the resources necessary for the
armies and navies to carry on war,
and food and fuel for the civilian
populations to carry on life.
Rau Materials Will Count
The United Nations can build su-
perior land. air and naval forces be-
cause they control more raw materi-
ais.
So. military experts say! the task
of the United Nations is to remain
on the defensive, wasting down as
much Of the enemy's power as pos
sible while building up their own
Holding as much ground as possible.
but sacrificing territory which they
do not need now in order to save
manpower and supplies which they
do need now. The territory can be
won back by the United Nations.
The manpower and supplies which
the enemy loses cannot be replaced.
This is not a popular kind of war
fare. 1t is the kind that makes the
people rise up and demand new
leaders to bring them quick VIC
tories. 1t makes armies and navies
FESTIVE. 1t is bad for morale. But
it is the only kind of warfare that
the United Nations can engage in
now. More haste on the battlefield
will make less speed toward final
victory.
According to this plan, the defend
ers of the Philippines. of Singapore.

HEGRE

Hegre came to Hardin in 1899
and has since that year been
reaching out for a goal which
he has most honorably achieved.
Many long and patient hours
were spent and not in vain,
teaching the members (of what
we used to call a tinny sounding
group of horn blowers) the art
and perfection of mastering
their Instruments.
In 1912 the conductor strobe
to take the platform amid the
applause of a packed auditor
ium. The conductor, striking his
music stand with his baton to
attract the attention Of a new
ly uniformed band, raised his
arms and with his every move
ment came the responding mu-
steal notes from brass and reed
sections as the ever beating
drummers beat forth to keep
the tempo of rhythm intact. The
audience sat in silence, SPELL
bound. 1t was a band under the
direction of our Reuben Hegre
and our Hardin high school
band was playing, each indivld-
ual master of his instrument.
Yes, Mr.. Hegre, Hardin is
proud to have such a fine mu-
steal instructor as you have
proven yourself. With your goal
reached we can only say that
in such trying times as the
present your band will surely
keep up the spirit and morale
of our community. Keep them
flying in national defense and
keep them playing in Hardin
high, Maestro Hegre.
STUDENTS
AS the future builders of this
great country which we possess,
the role which you must play
in the years to come is to be
a highly important one. But you
and I and every other American
have a task to do now, and our
country needs the assistance OF
all of us at this time.
Many of you have brothers
who have been indicted into
the armed forces of our country
Our brothers, our men in the
Army and Navy and Marine
Corps, have made heavy sacri-
fees, having given up lucrative
salaries and good positions in
many cases. You too, can dc
your part by making small con-
cessions and sacrifices. You can
do without an ice cream soda
or a coke now and then. Maybe
you earn a little spending mo-
ney occasionally. These small
sums joined together can make
ours a great and strong coun-
try. 100, 900, 900 united people
can be the most powerful force
the world has ever known.

Free and Equal" written by
George O'Neal and presented by
John Golden at the Cass theatre
last week, is more than just play,
It is a message, a crusade, an eX-
pose of the customs of the South.
This play does not glorify the
South with exaggerations OF gram
deur, fortunes, beauty and tradi-
tons. Free and Equal is a dram
atization of the truth, simple but
clear photograph of an existing
condition that places a faint upon
would-be colorful section Of this
country, Here the South is exposed
at last in all its lawlessness, ig-
norance and inhumanity.
