Month OF January Named After Janus,
DOuble-headed Roman God OF Gates

hand, and 65 in the other.
Janus was worshiped on the Jani-
culum, otherwise known as the Hill.
of Janus, one of the seven hills on
which Rome was built. Since he was
the god of gates, all gates of Rome
were under his care, especially the
archway through which the army
marched to war and by which it re-
turned.
Janus Quadrifons
In later years the archway was re-
placed by one known as Janus Quadri-
fons, four sided structure. On each
side of the building there were three
windows and one door, making IL
windows and four doors, which repre-
sented the IL months and the four
seasons.
In times of war the temple gates
were kept wide open since the people
wre continually making offerings to
the god but in peace times they were
closed. History records that in 700
years the gates of the temple were
closed only three times.
Janus was said to be the son OF
Apollo, the god of the Sun, whose
daily task it was to drive across the
sky in his chariot of fire. Each morn
ing when Aurora, the goddess of the
dawn, had opened the gates of the
east, Apollo set forth and when ne
reached the western ocean he return
ed to his place in the east.
The first month has not been known
uniformly as January. The name for
the month among the Angles and
Saxons was Wulfmonath (Wolf
month";, since it was the time of year
when the wolves were unable to find
food. and their hunger made them
bold enough to come into the villages
However, in time all countries and
climes adopted the name January for
the first month of the year.

Farm Labor Shortage
May Cut Down Food
Output, Senators Fear
Several Legislators
Soy Mail Is Filled
With Complaints
Ry the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A critical Nation wide shortage Of
farm labor was reported yesterday
by Senators from major agricultural
areas who expressed fear that farm
ers would be unable to produce the
added food and other products
needed for the war effort.
Numerous Senators from the cot
ton, corn and wheat belts and dairy
and livestock regions said their mail
was filled with complaints from
farmers who wrote that they were
unable to obtain required help.
I'VE won't reach our wartime pro-
duction goals on the farms unless
some Of our policies are reversed
and reversed quickly" said Senator
Aiken, Republican, of Vermont, from
the important New England dairy
area.
Senator Bankhead, Democrat, of
Alabama, from the cotton country;
Gillette, Democrat, Of Iowa, from
the corn and hog belt, and Senator
Nye, Republican, of North Dakota,
from the Northern wheat area re-
ported separately that the draft
and high wages in defense indus
tries had sharply curtailed the sup
ply Of agricultural labor and had
brought flood Of protesting letters
from farmers.
Senator Nye and several others
also criticized announced plans to
hold down farm prices under the
new price control law.
Some OF these officials may out
smart themselves at disastrous cost
to the war effort" Senator Nye
said. by holding prices down too
low they will prevent production
that Is vital"
He suggested that Selective Serv-
ice officials might aid the labor
shortage by forcing deferment of
farm youths from military service.
Senator Bankhead said Leon Hem
derson, price administrator, told the
Senate Banking Committee that
cotton prices would reach full par
ity and he was not trying to pre-
vent that.
Il told him they better raise cot
ton prices II they want to get any,"
the Southerner declared.
Senator Aiken said that Donald
M. Nelson, new war production chief,
was quoted recently as telling indus
try ito hell with stopping to count
the cost" and to get increased pro-
duction.
I'VE should tell farmers the same
thing" Senator Aiken said.

purposing Of co-ordinating policy.
AS an adjunct to such a supreme
war council an inter allied general
staff could usefully function in the
field OF military decisions.
The Anglo-American joint staff is
certainly step in the right direc-
ton, but it is to be hoped that the
further steps needed to realize full
political and military cooperation
among all the Allies, are in the
minds of those in authority here
and in London.
Nothing could be more unfortun-
ate than to allow the impression to
grow at Moscow, Chungking and
Batavia that an attempt is being
made to run this war as an Anglo
American enterprise with others
graciously. permitted to pour out
their blood as directed and called
in to indorse decisions already
taken.
There are, Of course, difficulties to
be overcome. Again to quote Gen.
Requin, Nothing can be done with
out confidence, and questions Of per-
sonalities play preponderant role
in all problems of inter-Allied COM
mand."
But confidence may be attained
by frank and open dealing. by trust
offered as we'll as demanded; and
great personalities tend to adjust
themselves to great needs. The
first of these needs is the growth Of
that spirit of coalition which is both
the price and the guarantee OF vic
tory.

strategy which MAI. G. Fielding Eliot.
must somehow be brought into
agreement with the national poll
icies and objectives of all its
members.
While the member states may be
in agreement as to the need for
defeating the common enemy and
determined to use their best Efforts,
there necessarily viii be differences
of viewpoint and, conflicting ip-
terests and those charged with
correlating a single strategy not
only must take them into account
but keep them constantly in mind as
the war progresses. y
Mutual Confidence Il, Demanded.
These conditions are accentuated
when, as in the present war, the
immediate and vital home interests
of certain of the Allies are in one
part of the world-as Britain's and
Russia's are in Europe-and the i'm
mediate interests of others are in
another-as China's, Australia's and
Hollands are in Asia.
In such a case harmonious and
fruitful cooperation can only be
expected on a basis of complete
mutual confidence. of govern
ments and peoples and the con-
fidence of all in agencies estab-
lished for the joint conduct of
the war.
The foregoing considerations, re-
inforced as they are by all the his
tory Of military coalitions, teach us
that military cooperation must be
based on and supported by suitable
political agreement and arrange
ments among the States concerned.
Thus, the present establishment
Of a joint Anglo-American staff
here must be based on a close work.

heads Of which must give effect to
the decisions Of the joint staff If
these are to have any value.
Only a Beginning.
This arrangement is a good be-
ginning and q valuable one, but it
should be recognized that it is only
q beginning. This is not an Anglo
American war against the Axis. 1t
is a r'of a great worldwide Goa
lition against the Axis which also
includes the Soviet Union, China
and the Netherlands Indies as active
and important military partici-
pants. Until this fact and its i'm
plications are given more than mere
formal recognition, we shall not
have the sort of common effort
which is essential to victory.
It is easy enough to say that mill
tary representatives of the other
three powers may be called in to
participate in the joint staff dis
cussions when matters involving
their respective countries are TO be
discussed. But this is far from
sufficient.
1t is indeed difficult to see what
decisions could possibly be taken
by the Joint staff Wslich did not
involve the interests of the Soviet
Union, or in the long run. those OF
China and the Netherlands indies.
"CN6Iition Recognizes no Hierarchy"
1t Is necessary to realize that
this is not altogether a question of
the mechanism by which decisions
are to be reached. II Is question
Of the spirit in which they are
Appfoached-and that must be %hat
Gen. Requin. formerly director OF
the French higher war college, calls

THE spirit Of coalition" Gen.
Requin observes. has its origin and
its reason for existence in a solidar-
ity which does not recognize any
hierarchy among the Allied Nations,
and puts the common end to be
attained above particular national
interests. It's application is difficult,
but 1t is the price Of victory. 1t is
only thus that we may assure our
selves the true preparation, the
moral preparation indispensable to
the formation of a coalition and to
its successful conduct of war
Obviously, we cahnot expect full
military cooperation on the part
of our Allies unless this strategical
cooperation is supported by oppor-
tunities for participating in those

is intended to implement.
