would have to materially reduce
their bomb load in order to carry
sufficient gas. Further, long over
water flights are risky and costly.
1t is said that we still have air
fields in some of the Philippine Is
lands, and they, of course, provide
ideal points for operations. The
distance is very short and maxi
mum bomb loads could be carried.
There are many points in China
which are equally good. To use
Chinese bases, however, will mean
that great quantities of supplies
and men must be transported across,
the Pacific,
Many believe that Japan and
Russia will be at war within a
matter of months. If that hap
pens, the United Nations will have
access to excellent, fully-developed
bases in the Vladivostok and other
areas. Here, again, the flight to
Japan proper is a short one.
Lastly, it is perfectly possible to
bomb Japan from carriers off her
coast. The carriers can leave as
soon as the planes depart, and the
planes, after unloading their bombs,
can fly on and land in China. But
aircraft carriers cannot be used by
big bombers, and they carry rela-
lively few planes.
The first bombings are consider
ed by many to mark the beginning
of the gigantic Pacific offensive
which General Macarthur has
promised. 1t is likely that, in time,
aggressive attempts will
be made to destroy Japanese hydro
electric installations in the noun
tains. She has no coal, and so has
developed her water resources to
the limit. A series of dams provide
all of the energy which
motivates her industries. Japan
has used the airplane to good adj
vantage-but she is finding that it
is a two-edged weapon.

The, Home Merchants

1t is good to take few moments
now and then to consider the SER
vice rendered the community by its
home merchants. They are working
every day to provide their towns
people and the nearby country
with the best and most useful and
stylish and modern goods the mar
ket affords, at the lowest possible
prices If, you talk with them
about their trade and, their mer-
chandise, you will be impressed by
Milford chronicle., 1942-05-08

their intelligence, desire to please,
willingness to accommodate the
public, and render service.
AS citizens of Milford, we should
show appreciation of the service
thus rendered, and value rightly
the great opportunity offered us to
obtain the best goods at the lowest
prices without going away from
home. 1t pays us to back up these
home stores.

Millions of people who have

supply their old customers, and

are folding-up, or going out of bus

their affairs nobody knows. But
everybody cares. And when every
body is interested such matters are
bound to straighten out themselves

THE MEN ON CoRREGIDoR-

THE MEN ON CORREGIDOR-
before it fell-had no war bond
quota. This is the kind of quota
they had:
- Sleep-about an hour out of ev-
cry "a.
Food-half rations in March;
quarter ratiOns in April.
Water-when it fell.
Medical care-plenty, but they
had to lie in line for it.
Yet these men bought half a
million dollars worth of war bonds.
Last week Governor Bacon announ-
ced the quotas for the three coun-
ties of Delaware. The quota for the
whole state for the month of May
was $1,S60,90O. New Castle county
has been asked to contribute ST.
$500. Kent is asked for $122, 800,
and Sussex for $1O5,2OO. And yet
we are not asked to give this
amount. We are asked to invest
it, at an interest rate much in our
favor, with the provision that we
can get our money back when we
need it. That's a ''money-back"
guarantee from the biggest and
strongest husinesS in tho world
And when you do go down to buy
your war bonds and stamps just
think of this: You can get your
quota of sleep tonight without a
long range gun sniping at you.
You're eating just as well as you
ever were. Your doctor can be at
your bedside within few minutes
if you pick up the telephone. They
didn't have that on Corregidor.

THE DARING daylight raids on
the principal Japanese cities
brought new hope, new resolve, to
all the United Nations. For the
first time, the war. has, ,.been taken
straight home to the heart of the
enemy. The Japanese people have
at last had taste of what death
and destruction from the skies is
like. And, vitality important, these
raids are the forerunners of great
things to come.
Many experts are convinced that
Japan's weakest point is her in
dustrial areas. They are concen-
trated in relatively small number
of localities. Her cities suburbs
are spotted with vital aircraft,
munitions and other war plants.
Out of those plants come the sup
plies which make it possible for
her to maintain her ever-lengthen-
ing lines of conquest. Out of her
shipyards come the ships to re-
place the vessels sunk or put out
of action by United Nations war;
craft. Destroy large part of these
industrial installations-and ia
pans capacity to wage war and to
consolidate her victories will be
ended.
At the same time, there is con-
siderable Misunderstanding in this
country as to Japan's vulnerability
to incendiary attacks. Many peo-
pie believe that Japanese cities
consist of nothing but tiny paper
and wooden homes and buildings
which would burst into flame at the
touch of a match. That is true of
many Japanese residential areas.
1t is definitely not true of her in
dustrial plants. They are as well
built as any in this country. They
are made of steel and concrete,
precisely as ours, and they were
built with an eye to the, possibility
of attack from the air. And they
are protected with heavy coneen-
trations of anti-aircraft and fighter
planes.
On top of that, it is probable that
no people on earth is better school
ed in fire defense than the Japan
ese. For many years, the govern
ment has made this kind of in
struction obligatory, and very elab-
crate preparations have been made
to prevent confiagrations. Tremen-
dOus sums have been spent for fire.
fighting equipment. Japan has had
many great fires in the past, the
bulk of them caused by earth
quakes, and the experience gained
has been aggressively put to use.
To materially harm the Japanese
war effort, therefore, will be hard,
slow and costly job. 1t will require
tremendous numbers of major
bombers, and vast amounts of high
explosive and incendiary bombs.
1t is likely that the first Allied
raids were in the nature of feel
ers," to give an idea of what can
be done in the future.
What are the best bases for
United Nations raids on Japan?
There are several answers to that.
1t is possible for the largest four
engined bombers to make the flight
from Australia or Alaska, but they
