have asked both military and
naval leaders how long they be-
lieved the conflict would endure in
this theater. They told me almost
to a man that the general sense OF
urgency demanded by the present
situation precludod any prediction
or SpeculationS.
JOB Is TO WIN
1--WE all know this is war that
cannot be won overnight one Of
ficer said. But we must not just
relax and consider ourselves destin-
ed for long war, perhaps five years
or more. Our job Is to Wfn-and win
as rapidly as is humanity possible. :
The view, baSed on actual obServ-
ations, that the Japanese are fight
ing a war of their own, is supported
by such obvious displays of Japan''
independence as her maintenance
of diplomatic relations with Soviet
Russia's Germany's bitter enemy.
and her failure to attack Siberia
contrary to general prediction.
There also have been reports
of possible GOODNESS between Ber-
lin and Tokyo growing out of Jap
ans alleged refusal to comply with
Hitler's request for increased Japa-
nese naval activity in the direction
of Madagascar and East Africa.
'APAN's GOAL
Japan has thrown all hcr naval
and military strength into an at
tempt to seize control Of the entire
Pacific and to establish what she
graphically calls a Greater East

Before the historic battle OF Mid

gram succeeded phenomenally. But
since her crippled fleet limped home
ward after Americas victory off
Midway, japan has moved cautious

southeastern Solomons, relaxed her
hold on the western Aleutians and
virtually been driven out of south
eastern New Guinea.
Most of the officers with whom
I have talked told me that the
length of our war with Japan Woul-
depend upon the speed with which
America is able to convert war ma
terials' into fighting materials. In
other words, how soon fighting mer

The sentencing cilmaxed the big

The men we're Hans Max Haupt,

The women were young Haupts

Judge Campbell said in his opin-

There is no priority on mercy

to consider the mothers OF thou

those working on the assembly lines

instructed local draft boards by
telegram to refuse releases for en-
listment to essential aircraft or
shipbuilding workers.
He defined essential workers as
ANY registrant who is, or should
be. classified in Class lib or III-B
and who is employed in the aircraft
or shipbuilding industries The rul-
ing also applies to registrants who
resigned from essential jobs in those
industries within so days before
seeking to enlist.
Hershey emphasized that this is
not blanket deferment of workers
in these industries, who will con-
tinue to be called for military SER
vice as they are needed and as they
can be replaced in essential jobs y
Some observers interpreted the
order as indicating that President
Roosevelt has decided to reject a
plea by War ManpoWer Commission
Chairman Paul " McNutt that all
voluntary enlistments be stopped in
order to make possible orderly
withdrawal" for military duty of
men from essential industries. Nc
Mutt is supported by Hershey and
other manpoWer Officials.
Mr.. Roosevelt is known to have
opposed the idea because of his
close association with ana affec-
ton for traditions of the navy,
which always has been able to meet
its manpoWer needs on a voluntary
basis.
j Hershey'S telegram to local boards
mentioned specifically an issue
which fast is becoming one of the
