Congressman James F. O'Con-
nor would not come out fatty
and declare, II told you So" but
If he did he would be fully
Justified. For several years the
Congressman has been fighting
for increased production of su-
gar beetS in Montana and 9TH
er Western States. Now the pub
lie is confronted with a claimed
sugar shortage.
In June, 1910, O'Connor,
battling for increased sugar
beet quota allotments, told the
House of Representatives: II
feel that this is a time when
the United States can i'll af-
ford to curtail any agricultural
production
In another speech before the
House he declared: IF we are
to assume the position of the
worlds bread basket then we
are just as likely to become the
worlds sugar bowl, as sugar is
an essential food and may be
stored indefinitely without loss"
Congressman O'Connor also
foresaw a food shortage. In
Congress in June, 1910, he de-
clared: 1T seems to me that it
is obvious that this is a time
when we should urge our agri-
cultural resources of all kinds,
particularly essential foodstuffS,
to be built up to the maximum.
No one can say what our needs
are going to be but we know
that it takes a whole lot of
food to keep a nation of $780,
100000 people at full fighting
strength"
1.-The sugar situation seems
to me ridiculous" he declared.
I'VE are r%ationing sugar yet we
hear from some sources that
there will be no shortage of SUI
gar next year. No acreage limi-
tations will be put on growers
apparently this year. But the
reflners still have sales quotas
and that means a limit on the
amount of acreage they will
contract. We have a substantial
increase in beets grown for ex-
listing factories over 1941, but
it is a temporary provision ano
not conducive to the building
of new sugar refineries in the
irrigated areas. I am still fol
increasing allotments and fol
giving the American farmer
first chance at the American
market"

African Front

The Free French forces last week in
spired the world by their bravery in the
Libyan desert. This fact had its prac-
tical side because the Free French cause
had been losing friends by squabbles
over its political fortunes. We know the
Free French are fighters.
They were the chief defenders of the
desert post of Bir Hacheinn, and the fall
of Bir Hacheim to the Germans on
Thursday does not lessen their heroism
and fighting ability. On the other hand,
the fall of Bir Hacheim made the British
defense of their Libyan line more diff
cult, because Bir Hacheim was the lines
southern anchor. For three weeks the
British have kept the Axis forces under
Marshal Erwin Rommel from breaking
through the British position at Knights
bridge which is but Is miles southwest
of Tobruk. The hot wastes of Libya have
been the field for three weeks of tank
fighting
Rommel's attack on the Knightsbridge
area, including heavy activity at Harmat,
miles away, gained strength when the
Allies no longer could use Bir Hacheim
for artillery fire against the Axis. Rom
mel now is close to the lines which he
found impenetrable last year. the defense
lines around Tobruk, which withstood
Axis siege all spring and summer last
until British forces relieved the siege in
the autumn.

The Russians announced last Monday
that the Germans had been held of IN
a three-day attack on
SevostopoI Sevastopol waged mostly
Besieoed by planes. According to
Moscow, the whole pre-
vious week cost Germany 528 planes and
Russia ISL, and most of these fell in
the Sevastopol action. Each successive
day brought German attempted death
blows at the fortified naval base, but
still it did not die. The Germans hurled
land forces at Sevastopol in ceaseless
series of assaults. Russian troops, sea-
men. marines and guerrillas make up
motley garrison defending Sevastopol,
which is more than seven months along
the road toward matching the record of
the CZarist forces who sustained IL
month siege by English. French and
Turks at Sevastopol in 1854
The Russians and the Germans issued
contradictory communiques on the course
OF the weeks fighting, with Moscow
claiming the Germans had not advanced
foot and Berlin describing advances. A
London military commentator said the
Germans have more than 10 divisions
driving against the city. At the weeks
end, the Russians launched counter
attack from the city against the Ger
mans. who, according to Moscow, have
lost $1,000 men killed and so tanks and
60 planes destroyed in the last three
days. Sevastopol still stands.
The magnitude of the German task IN
Southern Russia is apparent when 1t
is realized that even the taking OF
Sevastopol would be insufficient con-
quest to render safe German move into
the Caucasus. The Germans must hold
the land north of the Caucasus in order
to protect the rear and flank OF any
troops in the Caucasus. That means
the Germans must advance eastward
from Kharkov, where Marshal Semeon
Timoshenko, the Russian Ukraine gen.
eral, has held the enemy. Late last
week the Germans began new offensive
operation aimed at gaining them ground
east of Kharkov. Here and at Sevastopol
the battle is crucial.
On the other side of Europe, RAF
planes dropped bombs On the German
docks at Bruges, Belgium.

and for an eventual offensive against
Japanese-held areas in the South Pacific.
While it is not likely that our Pacific
fleet will rest en- its laurels, it is safe to
assume that some of the units which
have been sorely needed in those waters
will be available for other duties.
As long as the Pacific situation was
uncertain and the japanese had at
their command a large fleet of aircraft
carriers and the bulk of the japanese
battle feet was intact. We could not
withdraw a single ship from the Pacific.
On the contrary it appeared necessary
to send some of our newly commissioned
ships to the Pacific rather than keeping
them in the Atlantic for the multitude of
tasks to be performed there.
At least three Japanese battleships-
presumably of recent types-have been
put out of commission for some time
The japanese have only a limited num-
ber of yards and these are taxed to
capacity with new construction. Hence,
it will take the Japs at least twice as
long to repair their damaged ships as
Pearl Harbor attack.
For the first time since the Axis
forced us into the war, many of our
strategists see the possibility of in
creasing emphasis on operations in the

Must Keep Heavy Guard.
The problem in any invasion of
Europe is not merely one of merchant
ship tonnage but also of warships.
The Nazis are keeping an important
force in Norwegian ports. 1t is hard
to tell whether they intend to use this
force. headed by the battleship Tirpitz
and likely to be augmented this summer
by at least one other battleship, the
Frederick the Great, for minor raids
against Russia-bound conveys or to
ward off a possible United Nations in
vasion Of the continent.
In any case, the fact that these ships
are in Norwegian ports forces the
United Nations to maintain a heavy
guard of American and British ships
nearby, thus reducing the offensive po-
tential of the United Nations navies in
the Eastern Atlantic.
AS soon as the results of the battles
in the North Pacific are definitely known,
some of the units being held in the
Atlantic for possible transfer to the
Pacific will be released for other work.
So will the new ships, which are being
commissioned with great speed.
Since the Midway battle the whole
question of an eventual attack on
Europe, which seemed so confused from
the strictly military point of view, has
taken on a new and Clearer aspect.
What appeared last month as wishful
thinking may become well-founded ex-
pectation sooner than many in Wash
ington believed possible.
Japan has not been defeated yet and
will not be defeated until American
forces land on hera territory. But some
of the dragons fahgs have been pulled
and it will take some time to grow
new ones.

other group composed of the warships.
Midway, LAG miles west of Hawaii,
would have provided Japan with a long
stepping stone toward North America
The attack on Midway was repulsed
almost wholly by land-based Army and
Marine planes from Midway with the
help of naval planes from American car
riers. The Army flyers, under Maj. Gen.
c. L. Tinker, who was lost in action,
used Bit flying fortresses.
Coral Sea- too, was triumph for
planes. The warships of the opposing
forces never came close enough to each
other for firing. The United States, it
was announced last week, lost the car
rier Lexington, the destroyer Sims and
the naval tanker Neosho at Coral Sea-
The losses were kept quiet until after
Midway so that the Japs would not know
our strength. The Japs claim we lost
two carriers at Midway, but no con-
f1rmation comes from Washington.
The Japs sent task force into the
Far Northern Pacific after the Midway
operation and Toxic claimed occupation
