Two Aussie ButtuIions Check

Men Even Come Near Break Through Against
Superior Foe, Gen. Bennett Beams

tralians were carrying with them an
increasing number Of badly wound
ed. At this point, Gen. Bennett
ordered the battalion commanders
to destroy their transport and fight
their way back the best way possible.
At 6 pm. Tuesday wireless COM
munications ceased In the midst
of q message. Australian head
quarters feared the worst. But at
8 am. Wednesday came the laconic
message: I'VE now through road
block with guns and transport"
Gen. Benefits face Lit up with
grim smile IS he showed us on
the map that that meant his men
had fought their way through a 7
mile-long corridor OF enemy ma
chine-gun nests.
Meanwhile, he had sent out q
Commando party armed with TOM
my guns to try to dislodge the Jap
anese holding a causeway head, but
the party failed to locate its be-
leaguered comrades.
Thursday morning Gen. Bennett
radioed: Regret there is little
prospect any success of attack to
help you. Lloyd's party (the Com
mando unit if successful should
have appeared before this. Twenty
of your men and many Indians al
ready returned via river to mine
then back to road which presently
our possession. You may at your
discretion leave wounded with vol
unteers, destroy heavy equipment
and escape. Sorry unable help
after your heroic effort. Good luck.
Gordon Bennett"
This message never reached the
hemmed-in battalions. During the
night the batteries for their radio
truck had failed.
On Thursday r. A. F. planes
dropped medical supplies and food
to the isolated men, but the last
chance to help them fight through
the japanese Gordon had passed.
Isolated groups of Indians and
Australians still are fighting their
way to the British lines. Many of
them are wounded All are suffer-
ing from fatigue and hardship. But
there has been not word of COM
plant.
All the men 7 have talked to
praised the Chinese, who guided
them through the jungles and fed
them. One Chinese provided rice
for so men and would not accept
payment.
One of the radio truck operators
who made his way out despite
shrapnel and bullet wounds told
how he and his comrades manned
the radio until the batteries died,
Then they blew up the equipment.
Two of us got out, but my
'cobber' (Australian slang for
buddy, who was wounded, was
killed by sniper," he related. with
80 other chaps we made a break
through a swamp peppered all the
time by Japanese machine guns.

the British lines after cutting and
fighting their way for so miles"

WITH BRITISH IMP ERIAL
FORCES ON THE MALAYAN
FRONT, Jan. 26.-How two Aus
tralian battalions, ringed by Jap
anese machine-gun nests in the
Malayan jungles, grimly held up an
enemy advance for four days and
even came near a break-through
against overwhelming enemy in
fantry, tanks, artillery and dive
bombers was told yesterday by
Aussies who cut their way through
the wilderness to reach the British
lines.
There has not been a more as
founding effort in this war or the
last" beamed Australian Gen.
Henry Gordon Bennett, himself a
veteran of Gallipoli.
MY two battalions were in q
desperate position, but they were
as full of fight at the end as at
the beginning with no thought or
mention of surrender" he said.
Their devotion to duty would
be difficult to surpass and the people
of Australia and the entire British
empire have every reason to be
proud Of them"
The two Australian battalions
moved into the Muar River sector,
along the Malayan east coast, Sat-
urday and Sunday, January II and
18, to help an Indian brigade which
had encountered a stronger jap
anese force, their commander re-
lated.
Soon after reaching the Muar
River sector, the Australians beat
off one heavy. attack by japanese
infantry, strongly supported by
tanks. Within half an hour, Aus
tralian gunners had knocked out 10
enemy tanks and compelled the jap
anese infantry to run for cover
among the rubber trees.
BY Monday, however, the Japa-
nese had seeped around, encircling
the outnumbered Indians and Aus
tralians. The surrounded men tried
to fight their way through, but they
found the road behind them blocked
for seven miles by felled trees in
which the Japanese had set up a
network of machine gun nests.
BY nightfall, the Japanese had
frightened the Gordon around the
Australians, ceaselessly pounding
them with artillery, mortars. aerial
bombs and machine-gun fire while
snipers in the trees tried to pick of
outposts.
The beleaguered men got no sleep
Monday night. Ordered to with
hold their fire in order to conserve
dwindling ammunition supplies, the
Australians repelled repeated jap
anese attacks with bayonets.
Throughout the night treetop snipers
poured in fire and japanese gren-
AIDES burst around the exhausted
men.
On Tuesday the situation was des-
perate. Food and ammunition were
nearly exhausted and the Aus

stopped to look around between
shots.
His slogan was, Don't shoot till
you see the whites of their eyesl"
but he gets 'em now when he senses
the black of their hearts.
When life and liberty were in
volved he knew no form of compro-
mise that didn't depend on marks
manship. The Minute Man hadn't
even half second for an appeaser.
He was no luxury hound even
when the going was good, and when
the going was tough he thought he
was well fixed if he had a fair sup
ply Of dry powder and bullets.
He never left to any commit
tee, agency or board anything
he could do himself.
He never confused an attack with
an appropriation.
To Minute Man every minute
counted in the job of licking the foe
and he never argued over hours.
He didn't worry about the peace
until he had won the fight.
1t never entered his head that he
could do his duty in a free-for-au
fight by buying some stamps, ap-
pearing at benefit or offering to
spend two hours on roof every
other week, unless he was over
60. Nothing would have disturbed
him less than a reduction in luxury
transportation, less rubber in his
suspenders and a room in which
the temperature got below 70.
He knew all the Indians were in
the woods and not in his legislative
bodies. He was brave and rugged
but he thought one war at time
was enough.
He never called his fight
defense" effort and was always
out to lick the fellow who start
ed the trouble.
He didn't need long and frequent
speeches to make him understand he
was in battle.
In his most desperate minutes the
Minute Man never gave any part
of minute to worrying about his
morale. 1t would have taken too
many hours.
The Minute Man was an an-year-
round man every second.

Dear Editor:
| AS the suspension of tariff and i'm.
migration laws is up for considera.
ton, it should be given careful
thought. Tariffs is not partisan
subject. A tariff does not exclude i'm
portations, by paying the duties, for
eign products can be imported and
marketed in the United States. AS
we are on higher standard of living
our costs are higher, the tariff is i'm
posed on .cheaply produced imports to
force the price up to the level of our
own domestic prices, which gives us
an equal chance to compete with the
foreign producers in our own Amer
lean market. The American market
should be supplied by our
own producers and laborers, whether
they are democrats or republicans;
we are taxed to support our own gov
eminent, while the foreign producers
are not.
There were members in both par
ties that were strong enough to have
