already to have opened new sources
Of supply by other ports.
Churchill was believed to be "see-
ing the light that empire was 60
ing to have to relax it's firm hand
on the natives, and eventually to
give over to them much of the work
of freeing themselves from the at
lacking japanese, in India.
Changes in the British cabinet had
seemed to indicate this, at any rate,
and many observers felt that all the
disastrous outcomes of the early bat
ties could only be overcome, in the
last analysis, by letting the natives
get into the fight in big way, in
stead of leaving them to be made
into fifth columnists by the advanc-
ing Japs.
These observers pointed out that
Java's population of 100000 per-
sons would be hard to conquer.

ROOSEVELT:
Progress Report

Revealing that thousands of Unit
ed States troops already are in the
southwestern Pacific, President
Roosevelt, in his latest fireside chat,
told the world that soon the United
Nations land not our enemies, will
have the offensive; we, not they, will
win the final battles. and we, not
they, will make the final peace"
While enemy shells were landing
on the California coast, the Presi-
dent promised to carry the war to
the Axis enemy in distant lands and
far-fung waters-wherever he can
be found. America, he said, will
harness its unequalled production
facilities to the war effort and pro-
duce totals of guns, planes, tanks
and ships formerly deemed inpos-
sible.
Dickenson County herald. [volume] (Clintwood, Va.) 1939-195?, 1942-03-05

nent was followed by a statement
that he might come to the United
States in 1iaison work.
Chief burden on Churchill had
been his frequent appearances be-
fore the house of ommons-meet-
ing his critics with bursts of ora
tory that won him one parliamenta-
ny battle after another-but at what
cost to his vitality and accomplish
ments could readily be imagined.
Into this breach Churchill fired the
imam of the hour" Sir Stafford
Grips, fresh from his triumphs in
diplomacy in Russia, man who
had the confidence of the man in
the street." and who was to take
over the job Of being the govern
ment's man before commons.
There were other changes, but
these were most vital. The cabinet
was reduced to seven men, and
some action of this type had been
vigorously demanded.
Some heads had to fall, and those
chopped out of the cabinet had been
targets for popular abuse.
It was evident that out of the re-
arrangement and reshuff1ing, Chur-
chill would emerge victorious, and
would continue his conduct Of Brit
aims part in the war.

SPRING.:
Whose Offensive?

Some experts in studying the pub
lie refeXes to war talk felt that the
constant worry and guesswork about
''Hitler's spring offensive" was chat
ter along the wrong psychological
lines.
Some hints of different thinking
than this had come out of the White
House. President Roosevelt had
dropped more than a few words to
indicate that the spring offensive
might not be Hitler's at all.
Here were couple of his state
ments:
"We must search out the enemy
and hit hin-and hit him hard"
''It is quite possible, and at no
far distant time, that Alaska and
New York might be bombed"
These were not defensive utter
ances, since the latter was coupled
with the Presidents thought that
"house to house" defense of our
coastlines was neither possible nor
the proper way to consider fighting
the war. 1t was not searching the
enemy out'' to do this.
From this many gained the i'm
preston that the looked-for (and
feared Hitler spring offensive might
not be of so much consequence as
the spring offensive of the Allied
powers.
One observer pointed out that we
had sent troops to Ireland, to Bur-
ma, to Australia, to Java, to Ice
land, to Aruba-to countless spots
Of Importance in the scheme Of the
war, and that these movements, few
Of them, could be regarded as de-
fensive in character.
They felt that it was quite in or

ogy to think in terms of bold and
well-timed offensive of our own than
to speculate and fear Nazi &C.

SHELLS:
On Vest Coast

The West coast had been waiting
for enemy shell fire since the day
the Japs launched their sneak at
tack on Pearl Harbor but when these
first shots came, they came from
the sea and not from the air as most
persons had believed they would.
In the Pacific twilight, as the
President addressed the nation over
the radio on the progress and course
Of the war an enemy submarine
appeared off Santa Barbara, Calf,
and fired from Is to Is shells into
the Elwood oil fields near that city.
Oil wells in the area are located
right on the beach, No casualties
and only slight damage to the oil
fields were first reported.
Radio stations carrying the Presi-
dents speech did not go off the air
until he had finished speaking and
then blackout Of the entire area
was ordered.

AUSSIES:
'CiUe Us Guns
And Veil HI Fight

The eastern end Of the huge Japa-
nese pincers unquestionably was be-
ing aimed at Australia, and bomb
ings Of Port Darwin already had
been carried out, with considerable
damage and casualties, proving to
the Australians that the enemy was
indeed at her gates.
Instant response of the 100000
population, only few generations
removed from hardest pioneers,
and with long record of providing
some of the strongest fighting men
in warfare's history, was "give us
guns and we'll all fight"
1t was evident that help already
had arrived from the United States
in this area and that more was on
the way. Australia, most strategists
felt, was considered the real hop
off point for any Allied offensive in
the Far East.
1t also was clear that, insofar as it
was within the Australian govern

Only a few felt that the Jap at
tacks on Port Darwin were of a
"divertive character" designed to
keep the Aussies from sending any
considerable aid to Java.
Most believed with newsman w.

And toward this objective the

JAVA:
Mighty Battle

From the narrow waters to the
east and west of Java had come re-
ports Of mighty air and naval en-
gagements, proving that the last
stronghold of the Dutch in the East
Indies was not going to be given up
without bitter struggle, also that
the Japs were not going to "by-
pass" Java without at least ma
jor try to capture it.
American and Dutch warships had
come to grips with the invasion force
attempting to take glamorous Bali
from the "blind side," hoping to
swarm over the 100-mile-wide island
and thus overlook their quarry Java
from vantage point separated
from the mainland only by mile
wide strait.
First reports had been highly op-
tinistic, reminiscent of the Ameri-
can-Dutch resistance to the Japa-
nese landing forces in the Straits of

or damaged-four planes shot down,
with a loss to the Allies of two de-
stroyers and four planes.
Most significant in the battle, how
ever, were the reports that the new
est types of dive-bombers (presuna-
bly, navy planes) were being used,
and with telling effect.
For once it seemed that the Allies
had a considerable air force in &C.
ton, whether based on an aircraft
carrier or on Sourabaya could only
be guessed at.
AS to the word from Tokyo, the
Japanese admitted that a strong
naval battle was in progress, but
asserted that the Allied ships iran
off, with severe losses, and denied
any serious losses to themselves.
Just how well Java, with it's 40
millions Of population, could be de-
Tended, still remained to be seen,
