MOmentous Question.

The strategic fact, proved by eX-
perience. that encirclers are always
liable to become the encircled, is
strikingly shown by the general
situation of Germany and Japan.
/ If as is the case just now. we
imagine the Russian western front
advancing, and if the Siberian
eastern front Cmomentarily still at
open armsD along with the Chi
nese fronts be attacking Japan's
base in Manchukuo, While British
and American forces invade North
ern or Western Germany and an
American eXpeGitionary force uses
the Siberian Pacific region as a
springboard for an attack on the
main japanese islands, then the
ominous, the mortal peril of the
encircled and isolated Axis powers
becomes clear.
1t is characteristic of the sphere
/ that any point on it may be re-
garded as on either an inside or an
outside line. Putting America in
the center, We see what are the
inside, the shortest, lines of Allied
counterattack, except for Russia and
China; they run directly to Eastern
Siberia and by way of England tc
Northwestern Europe.
This brings us to a momentous
question. Are not the Axis powers
as we'll aware Of this strategic inter-
relation as the Allied powers? They
must surely realize that their con-
centric attack on the continental

The decision of the Axis powers

center we make another important
discovery about the interconnection
of the strategical problems. America
is the great world divide, the back
bone, the most fully articulated
lifeline among the bodies of land.
| 1t is the only continent whose whole
length is washed by both great
oceans, the Pacific and the Atlantic.
! (Africa only borders on their
southern halfD This is important
to Americas function as the great
arsenal. America keeps the life
lines open.
, The stream of ornaments can now
be efficiently directed to the points
of greatest need, not from the re-
mote British Isles, but from the
central backbone of the American
continent. This is the point from
which sea power can be most effec-
lively employed for the protection
of the lifelines. The Northeastern
Atlantic, the North Sea and the
Mediterranean momentous as they
are. become partial problems. not
differing greatly in Importance from
the North Pacific and the Bering
Sea and the Sea of Okhotsk and the
Mediterranean of the East, the
Indian Ocean.
A second connection is no less
vital. The proper bases for counter
offensives against the Axis should
be chosen at those points having the
/ shortest and most effectively de-
/ fensible communication lines. and
allowing the offensive thrust to be
in the words of the great military
/ theorist, Won ClauseWitZ. "A stab to
the heart of the enemy. There is

likely. The situation in the Far
East is similar However, the tacti-
cal offensive launched by China will
not suffice here to divert Japanese
blitzkrieg from the Siberian coast.
Only a concentric attack of strong
Chinese forces from the northeast
ern provinces, closely cooperating
with Siberian forces and striking
ahead of any japanese offensive,
can bring the initiative to the Allied
powers and preserve the important
Pacific Coast base.

We note that the order has gone
out that the WPA is to be done
away with. The WPA served USE
full purpose and a necessary purpose
during the depression. In some
instances it was not properly han
died and men did not give an honest
days work for their pay, and in
many instances the work that was
done had no real nor lasting value.
This, however, was not the fault
of the plan. It was the fault of
those in charge of it. 1t is clear
now, to all, as it has been to many
all along, that more effort should
have been spent in the construction
of highways and air fields instead
of in raking leaves. No doubt
the lesson learned in this first WPA
will prove of value if later on the
country runs into the need for such
a thing again. :

It has often been said that tine
japs are a great people. The, exc
preston, we feel, is made without
thought. There is nothing great
about the japanese except their
ability to initiate. Japan has never
produced a great inventor, great
musician, a great athlete, a great
orator, a great philosophy, a great
book, a great musical composition,
a great oratorio, a great painting,
a great architecture. or a great
scientific discovery. She exploits
rather than promotes her colonies.
She has contributed Snothing to
civilization. All that japan has
she has copied from other nations.

HOPE AND PROMISE

the desolation that is war. 4
Yet even such somber days canno
wholly detract from the Joy tina
the New Year additionally echoes
For in this New Year of 1913, az
always, is born anew-the Hope
and Promise of the ages.
Hope that our world will in the
coming year be made better place
in which men may live and Promise
that with free men aligned on the
side of right-such Hope cannot
help but be fulfilled.
Blood has been spilled by our
sons to weight emphasis on such
Hope and Promise To those Ameri-

wilds of Bataan, in the depths of
the seven seas and on the reefs
of the Pacific's coral islands, must

We must pledge ourselves to the
cause that the loss of these heroes
will surely result in humanitarian
gain for the more fortunate world
which now benefits from their, acts.

For this is why these men of ours
have died: That our country and

ing Hope and Promise Of freedom
filled days ahead -. in 1913 and

NOT IN LINE

In their advocacy Of condemna.
ton suit against the P.P.& l..
two of Benton county,s three PUT
commissioners not only are at odds
with popular opinion but also are
proceeding against presumably
competent engineering advice bought
and paid for with public funds
This is apparent to anyone who
reads the report submitted to the
district commissioners last year by
G. w. Burton, registered profes-
sional electrical engineer and en-
ployee of the Bonneville Power
administration. ~. =
The recommendation made by
Burton will be news to most citi-
zens of the county, even though
his report was included in the 1941
annual report of the PUD.
The fact that condemnation was
opposed by the great majority of
the people even before America
entered the war is most interesting.
A similar canvass of the county to-
day undoubtedly would reveal that
the people now are opposed to such
action 10 or 20 to one. +
Why the PUD should spend
nearly $1,000 of hard-earned tax
money for. professional advice, and
then turn around and ignore that
advice, is hard for any taxpayer to
understand. If the engineer was
not competent, he should never
have been employed. If he is COM
petent, his advice should be re-
spected.
It is apparent that Benton county
sorely needs a change in its PUD
board. Only one of the three COM
has shown desire to
listen to the wishes Of the people.
That one is Guy Story, whose at
titude has consistently followed
sound business principles. u
A public damned" spirit will
get public power into disrepute
as rapidly and as certainly as it
ever damaged a corporation.

Whenever we see a boy come
back home on a furlough from some
army camp in the service, our con-
viction is renewed that what the
young men Of this country need is
a year of compulsory military train
ing after high school. The train
ing camp does wonders for a young
man. 1t straightens him up, teaches
him how to take care of his ply
steal well being, teaches him dis
cipline, decision, self-reliance, love
of country and its flag, and respect
for authority. Compulsory military
training under army supervision
would do much to make still better
the fine man power of America.

In our opinion the country is
witnessing a most remarkable DEM
onstration of a democracy at work
in war. We refer to the general
compliance to the rationing pro-
gram. Many of the orders seriously
inconvenience many people, but
notwithstanding this there is a
general compliance. This compli-
ance is not secured through a
gestapo or secret police force. Am
orleans, patriotic Americans, don't
need a gestapo to compel obedience
to orders desiged to aid in the war
effort. They periodically comply.
True, there are a few chiselers, but
they are in the minority. Incl
cidentally there have always been
chislers in all ages and there prob
ably always will be, and the prob
abilities are they will always be
in the minority. ~
