BUILD THE ROAD TO ALASKA!

The War Department has officially
approved the international Highway to
Alaska as desirable from the view
point of notionoI defense" The House
Roads Committee has received this
highly conservative view of the S25,-
100000 project, and is now fishing
about to find out the attitude Of the
Conodion government.
1t seems that telephone call ought
to settle that. With the South Pacific
lettering on the edge of being COM
pIeteIy lost, and the Navy unable to as
sure complete protection to coastal
shipping, ought not every possible step
be taken to assure overland supplies to
Alaska and northern Canada? For
who are we, who have watched the at
tack on Hawaii, the loss Of Hong Hong
and Malaga and most Of the Philip
pines, to soy that an invasion may not
be made in Alaska or the northwest
coost?
The date for beginning this work
ought to be set only by the weather,
not by further deliberotion.

THE TEST

temperature Of los degrees because
Democratic Party Chairman Flynn said
the country ought to elect Demo-
cratic House and Senate this foil.
That is what party choirmen are for
to plug for election Of members Of
their party.
Flynn put it badly, urging election
Of Democrats on the ground that only
such could properly support the Presi-
dent. That is nonsense, as Flynn probo-
bly, knows himself 1t is also bad poll
tics, as the President knows, With the
memory Of President Wilson's appeal
for q Democratic Congress in 1918 for
fresher in his memory than in FIynn's.
He remembers that all Wilson's appeal
did was to present him with both q
House and Senate predominontIy Re-
publican. So the President disovows
Flynn's appeal, and rightly SO.
The people ore too sensible to be
much moved by portison appeals at q
time like this. What's wanted in Con-
gress today is men Of the highest ability
we can get, men eager and loyal 70
support their country in q fight that
may we'll be one for its very existence.
Whether they are members Of one party
or another is not going to cut much ice
with the majority Of the voters this
year, and the choirmen of both parties
will do we'll to remember it.
What both parties ought to do is
prune off their own decd limbs, and
present the electorate with candidates
Of definitely good qualifications. Our
prediction is that fotheods, drones,
Ployers-on-prejudice, expIoiters of the
purely political, erovy-bootmen, Wind
bags. iohnny-come-IoteIy, coot-toI-rid-
ers, supporters and critics for purely po-
liticol motives, nonentities, misuers of
franks, second-euessers, hond-wrine-
ers, and incompetents, ore all going to
have rough road to ride to election
this foil.
Party politics as such may as we'll
adjourn for the duration. We need con-
eressmen who will support the war, not
bIindIy, but inteIIeentIy and oeeres-
sively. We need critics who will critI-
oIze olertly, understondineIy, and OIL
woys with the sole purpose Of making
the war effort more effective.
The country, which is pouring out
its blood and its money to win the war,
is in no mood for portison posturinqs
by Flynn or anybody else. The porty
thot con present the electorate with
the best list Of congressional cond-
dates, inteI|ioently oert to prosecute
the war with effectiveness, ought to get
O majority. regardless of which party
it is; preferably if it is combination
Of both.

HERoISM IS NOT ENOUGH

The Guards we're heroes, every man,
the dispatches say, telling Of their des-
Derote reor-guord action oil the way
from rpoh to that lost stand before
Singapore.
MocArthur's Moenficents ore
heroes, every one, scratching and claw
ina every inch Of the way as they are
gradually forced back toward the end
of the Botoon Peninsula.
Heroism is not enough.
The thing predicted from the mo-
ment Of the unexpected attack on
PeorI Horbor has come to Poss. The
bad news which we we're warned to ex-
pect is here. We have lost the opening
rounds of the war. We ore, up to this
point, q defeated nation.
To speak in such terms is not de-
feotism. It is realism. Victory can
come only otter defect has been looked
squoreIyin the foee Today all America
is slowly realizing that we could LOSE
this war.
Americans are not the kind Of
people to be discouraged by that pros
pect. 1t is the first preliminary toward
buckino down to the kind Of an effort
that will win it.
Win it we must, for our own sake,
for the sake Of our future and our chill
dren's future, for the sake Of all hu-
monity and civilization. Win it we will.
But events in the South Pacific
make it clear thot the task will be even
greater than most of US had feored. 1t
is too late now to bemoon the gin-pohit
and polo mind that lost MoIoyo despite
the individual heroism Of the men who
fought in vain. Thot mind has had its
counterpart here. 1t is, or must be
made, thing Of the post.
We shall have to fight our way inch
by inch to the destruction of Japanese
miIitory power; anything less implies
our own destruction. While we do this
we must at the same time extend ut
most help to every theoter Of war where
it is possible to strike, directly or indi-
rectIy, the enemies that have combined
oooinst us.
It is SOLDERING thought, and one
which means very simply that no per-
sons private offoirs count for much
until this menace has been removed.
Like our forefothers Of the RevoIu-
ton, we ore in for bottle for survival.
Let us serve notice on the world, by
actions, not words, that we propose to
survive-ond how

Picking up, for their joloPies.
an old casing worn down to the
fobric won't be so cosy. Even
the used cors themeIsves won't
be too Plentiful. And the mi
grant families will have to
scrope together enough to pay
that S. q year automobile use
tax. Thot's broadening the tax
base for you, all right.
EMPLOYERS MAY
MOVE THEM
Anyway, with tronsporto-
ton crisis focing the migrants,
their problem Of moving from
one crop to onother and one
form to another is something
for the employing landowners
to think about. In the truck
forming and orchard districts
you may see employers being
forced to provide tronsporto-
ton for their temporary, sea-
sonoI labor. The picture Of the
landowner sending his trucks
south to pick up his labor and
haul it right to his own prem
ises is one that may become
commoner-if the employer.
Of course, rides on rubber good
enough to stand such long,
distance moving.
experimenting IN is there
must be considered the fact
thot an estimated 335, 900
agricultural workers have been
drawn into other activities
the Army or war industry jobs.
Thot means an increased de-
mond for form labor. If this
demand must be met entirely
by the hiring Of temporary To-
Dor, then q tremendous revoIu-
ton will take place in the pot
tern Of our civilization as it
hos been in the post nine or
ten years. Instead Of the mi
grant worker being merely en-
dured and put up with and
generally kicked around, he
will have become on economic
necessity, and the mointe-
nance Of on effective and am
jIe migrant labor force will
have become just as important
os q loan from the bank, q roof
on the barn, q market for the
crops.
1t will probably be one Of
the most ironicol touches Of
the New Deal program If oil
this soIicitude the government
hos shown for the unfortunate
mieront agricultural workers
should now bounce back and
be reflected in q condition
whereby this "pomperine" Of
the Okies has resulted in the
salvation, the keeping intact
Of q pouper class which will
be on important footor in hor-
vestine the food that will win
the war. Impossible os such q
situotion may seem, it is yet
