ANOTHER RESIGNATION
SEEMS IN ORDER

It's tim Sidney IHuman got out of
the government
Too long already, he's been q paid lob
byist for labor union taking money
from the union on one side and from the
government on the other for doing 4 lob
of hamperiug the nations war effort
1t is no welcome indication Of thl m
telligence Of some persons high i'm the
government that they pay Hillman Il
federal salary for deciding the whole
nations labor policy in defense manutac-
turing, and allow him to continue to
draw more than $4,000 a year from he
labor union Of which he Is titular head
A man like Hinman cannot he blamed
for the things he does-hc'S made that
way-but the persons who nat man
like Hillman in a position where he can
use his warped viewpoints - create
fostering sore in the national war effort
deserve all the cenSure that can be heap
ed upon them.
1t is to be expected. for instance, that
Hillman would attempt to give his oWn
union monopoly in the business N
manufacturing uniforms for the army.
That he should be allowed to do SO, an
interrupted and without criticism bI
those above him in the government, Is
almost unbelievable Yet il is true.
Hllman is an ideal demonstration Of
the kind of government by special priv
ilege which has delayed our prepared
ness to dangerous point. He is not
the only one His case is not unique
There are altogether too many of his
kind in Washington = people who are
willing to sacrifice the whole American
people in order to gain greedy advan-
tagas for small but compactly organized
minoritics
We hay. always >i>aaliued the ideal
public official - one Who weighs every
action in the light of what its effect will
be on the Wrolc framework Of American
life We believe that fairness to every
one not Just to a few should be
prime factor in the character of men en-
trusted with running our government.
Hillman, and the others like him, have
no more fairness. no more public homes
ty, in their makeup than tarmite has
civic consciousness.
The sooner we get rid Of this kind of
man in public life. the quicker we can
organize the governmental efficiency
that is so vital if we are to win the war.

defended them as a necessary limitation

NO USE GUESSING

Japan. with almost startling sudden
ness, has practically completed her con-
quest of the Far Eastern oceans, with
the fall Of Java. Australia alone re-
mains now, and Australia lies so far to
the south that. were she not a possible
springboard for an Allied offensive, the
japanese could ignore her.
The question naturally arises now;
where will the JapS strike next? Aus
tralia, as seems likely, or Russia, or m
dia? Hawaii, or the west coast Of the
United States? All Of them are pos
sible targets
There is no point 10 guessing, however,
There are too many ways We can guess
and so there are too many ways We
can be wrong. II might be fatal to send
a large force to one place, at the expense
of others, in anticipation Of an attack
which failed to materialiZe.
An offensive-the strongest possible
offensive at the earliest possible moment
is the only. answer to the question,
where next? well start winning this
war when our people are able to ask,
not "where viii the Japs strike neXt?,'
but. "where will we strike next -
That's the time we must prepare for.

Cebu, lying in the heart Of the

south OF Manila and central point

the passages vital to Japan'S move

any they have met and crushed in
