Where They Are Fighting
From the National Geographic Society

Masbate Island, occupied by Japa-
nese troops, is in the heart Of the
Philippines. Surrounded by big and
little islands, 1t lies between Panay
and the southeast extremity Of the
main Philippine island Of Luzon.
Manila Bay and the besieged Amer
lean forces of Bataan Peninsula,
however. are on the other side Of
Luzon to the northwest. The tip
Of Bataan Is q little over 200 air
miles from the nearest point On
Masbate.
Masbate ranks 11th In size among
the more than 1000 islands of the
Philippines. With an area Of about
1850 square miles, 1t is slightly
larger than Rhode Island.
The chief economic value of
peace-time Masbate was its produc-

'CIiveden Set Active
In Washington, Dewey
Tells Lincoln Dinner
Appeosers Moy Try
To Win Booking in
6. O. P, He Warns
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-From
Thomas Z. Dewey comes q warning
that "an American Cliveden Set"
is scheming for appeasement and
may attempt to use the Republican
party to achieve its "cowardly end"
'I am informed" the former New
York district attorney told the Ma
tional Republican club at its seth
annual Lincoln Day dinner last
night. that there is already an
American Cliveden set In Washing
ton and other cities.
They are scheming to end the
war short Of military victory. They
are waiting for the time to come out
in the open with plans for q nego-
tiated peace"
Asserting the issue Of appease-
ment and compromise would surely
rise, he said Its advocates were
present in both Democratic and
Republican parties, but that all
might attempt to sneak into the
party of the opposition" to further
their cause.
Mr.. Dewey declared: Here in the
shadow Of Abraham Lincoln, can
there be any possible doubt as to
what our position shall be? We have
but one course. Every suggestion Of
compromise must be rejected. There
is no room in America for difference
of opinion on this score. We shall
wage this war to total victory. :"
AS to the position of the Republi-
can party. Mr.. Dewey said lit is easy
to be loyal and silent. But with
freedom at stake, failure to speak
out would, in fact, be disloyal."
Our Government is conducted by
two party system" he said. Each
party has its responsibilities-the
one which happens to be in Office at
the time, to conduct the Nations
affairs. the others. to render in
telligent criticism.
I'm shaping the course Of the op-
position party, however, let us make
one thing clear. In times Of peace
there is room for every shade Of
opinion within our party. In times
of war there is room for only one
shade of opinion as to our objective,
that of an inf1exible will to absolute
and final victory"

STATEMENT BY MARTIN
l.. DAVEY

Tragic news comes sweeping
across the hot wires and through
the sound waves of space. Disaster
follows disaster, and the dark clouds
roll higher and darker in the west
ern sky. Free men everywhere
think with deep solemnity and
ties.
Worse still, caustic criticism rails
es it's ugly head, and haunting fear
seizes the timorous. This must
not be, In these dark hours, crit
icism and fear are the allies of our
enemies.
My countrymen, the solemn
weight of the centuries rests on the
over-burdened shoulders of our
leaders, here and abroad The fate
of mans struggle for the blessings
of freedom and civilization is in
their hands.
We must trust them. But trust
is not enough. We have got to give
them degree and quality of moral
support that will buttress their
leadership against all adversely un-
til great and sublime victory is
won.
1t is easy enough to applaud
with enthusiasm when our armed
forces are winning battle after bat
tie. Weak men can do that. Times
like these call for a kind of cour-
age that will not finch and will not
waver, when we are beset by adver-
stiles.
The America of today is being
tried in the fire of time 1t is prob
ably the greatest test of our ma.
tional character. We can rise te
heights of greatness now. May the
God of our fathers grant that we
shall not fail, and that we shall
measure up fully to our historic
greatness.

WE CAN LOSE

After the first shock of war,
there are some indications that we
are taking for granted that we will
win. We are all willing to work
and work hard to defeat our en-
emies. But there is a certain snug
ness in the oft-repeated phrase, I'VE
will win, of course" that indicates
an unhealthy state of mind in ma
tion fighting for survival.
The fact is that the United Ma
tions have been hit terribly hard
since war broke out in the Pacific
The forces of the United States,
caught unprepared, have received
crushing blows. Our prestige was
badly hurt in the defeat at Pearl
Harbor, and the onslaughts against
the Philippines. But it was restor
ed little at Macassar Straits and
the Marshall and Gilbert Islands

ed with joy, saying, Lord, even the
demons are subject unto us in thy
name" In the charge to the seven
ty no reference to the demons is re-
corded. Apparently these mission
aries rejoiced because God had en-
abled them to exercise greater au-
thority than had been formerly con-
ferred by Christ. A faithful work
er may have happy surprises.
V. 21. ''And in that same hour
he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and
said, thank thee, o Father, Lord
of heaven and earth, that thou didst
hide these things from the wise and
understanding, and didst reveal
them unto babes; yea, Father, for
so it is well pleasing in thy sight
Spiritual achievement and self-for-
getfulness in service to others pleas
ed the Lord. He expressed graft
tude over the fact that God hid
spiritual things from clever people
and revealed them to those of hum
BILE mind who stopped reverently to
receive truth. The deepest knowl-
edge is revealed to us, if in the
spirit of humility we keep mind
and heart open to receive it.
V. %. "And all things have been
delivered unto me of my Father;
and no one knoweth who the son is.
save the Father; and who the Faith
er is, save the Son, and he to whom
soever the Son willeth to reveal
him" There were certain things
which Christian disciples were al
lowed to see and others were not
allowed to see. These disciples
saw back of the work the connec-
tion with God who was revealing
himself to others. The highest
knowledge is the revelation of God
and his will, and the right interpre-
tation of Christ'o teachings.
V. %. "And turning to the dis
ciples, he said privately, Blessed
are the eyes that see the things you
see." The most blessed privilege
one can have is to see and under
stand God working in and through
human lives, redeeming, transform
ing, empowering and using men.
v. "a. For / say unto you, that
many prophets and kings desire to
see the things which We see, and
saw them not; and to hear the
things you hear, and heard them
not" In this verse Christ implies
that in himself the prophecies of
the messianic age are fulfilled.

General Douglas Macarthur.
There is no excuse for COM
placency. We cannot fight this war
comfortably. There is no reason to
believe or even think that just be-
cause we have won every other war
we have entered, We can sit back
and take things easy.
War must be fought by the COM
bined efforts of all the people.
There is no well-defined front.
There is no room for those who do
not take part in the war effort.
Those who are not in the armed
forces may do their part in many
ways. Civilians can work as air
raid wardens, auxiliary firemen,
special police officers, and in many
other non-combatant services. The
Red Cross needs many. All can
contribute to victory by purchasing
Defense Bonds and Stamps to the
limit of their ability. All can ac-
cept longer hours without com
plant and cooperate in rationing.
A complacent nation can be beat
en-, even though it has the men and
resources for victory. A nation
alive to the dangers of modern war.
awake to the realization of the tre-
mendous effort necessary to achieve
victory, will win.
1t is up to all of us to see that all
our manpoWer and all our resources
are marshaled against the enemy.
That is the only way we can make
victory certain.-Stanbery Alder

Lesson MXE!M

The Mission of the Seventy, Luke
1O:1-24, for Sunday, April IL.
Today's lesson deals with the first
disposition of Christianity to spread
out from its center.
v. /. "Now after these things
the Lord appointed seventy others,
and sent them two and two before
his face into every city and place,
whittier he himself was about to
come" Here is an organized cam
paign to make converts; in such a
campaign two are more effective
than one; the main work was to be
done by the Lord after the personal
work had been done.
v. 2. "And he said unto them,
The harvest indeed is plenteous,
but the laborers are few; pray ye,
therefore, the Lord Of the harvest,
that he send forth laborers into his
harvest" Before these personal
workers were to do any thing, they
were to pray by prayer, ways open
for Christian workers.
". g. go your ways; behold /
send you forth in the midst of
wolves A greater response is re-
ceived when there is set before men
a great task. When denouncing sin
and calling for repentance, per-
sonal worker is sure to find hard
going.
v. A. Garry no purse no wal
let, ne shoes; and salute no man on
the way" BY these instructions
our Lord indicated the urgency of
his work.
v. S. tAnd into whatsoever
house we shall enter, first say, Peace
be unto this house." Jesus would
have his followers be courteous.
Character is expressed in culture
and courtesies.
v. 6. And if son Of peace be
there, your peace shall rest upon
him; but if not, it shall turn to

wasted but will come back in bless

". T. "And in the same house
remain, eating and drinking such
things as they give: for the laborer
is worthy of his hire" They were
to set beautiful example of cour-
tesy and appreciation and they
were to do this with the realization
that such hospitality was their due,
If they rendered useful service in
