I'D Rather Be Rioht'
Hate Calls to Hate Around the World,
But Girls Of Sfox Kiss British Troops

However, not all the news Is
dreary. Mr.. G. H. Archambault
(who also got the captivity fur
Tough" story, above) reports to the
New York Times that the Vichy
government is being snickered at
all over France because it COM
PEELED each community to store po-
tatoes, and has forgotten to release
them, in spite of the fact that spring
is here and the potatoes are about
to sprout and spoil 1t may have
been the Democrats who let France
fall, but the Fascists don't even
know how to keep. potatoes.
If France isn't getting any love,
she is at least getting some laughs.
Welles Makes Speech.
All, love! Mr.. Sumner Welles, As
sistant Secretary of State, reports
that he has the same tender feelings
toward the plain people of the world
as do his critics. He really hates
French and Spanish Fascists Che
doesn't say it quite that clearly,
but he must carry on with it, as part
of maneuver against the enemy.
1t has been going on for years, but
it will not be for always.
When the time comes (here, too,
Mr.. Welles sort of mumbles, and
one has to guess what he means)
he will throw Peyrouton out, and
kick Franco in the stomach, and
grab the nearest French or Span
lsh Democrat, and smooch him.
Meanwhile, there is mixed chorus
OF de GaulliSts, Austrian Democrats,
Spanish Loyalists in African prison
camps, and French underground
workers humming that they don't
mind if he dissembles his love, but
why must he kick them downstairs?
A member of the British House of
Commons, Capt. Alec Cunningham
Reid, makes scandal by standing
up in a furious rage and denounc-
ing American isolationists for chiv-
vying England about lease-lend and
for demanding English islands.
Again, no kisses, and hate has
called to hate around the world.
But in Sfax the girls strew flowers.
which shows you what curious things
the plain and humble people of the
world will do, when nobody thinks
to stop them.

The Political Mill
Chandler in Demanding Strengthening Of Pacific.
Sounds Doctrine Thot Is Good Americonsm

done masterful jobs in the South
Pacific areas. They know, pre-
sumably, the tasks that are before
them. They are in position to
know the strength which the
enemy has to hurl at them.
Gen. MacArthurs straight
forward declaration that land
based air forces of the Allied
Nations must be increased to
meet the growing threat of Jap
anese strength has put the Ma
ton on notice. What he has said
has been more than backed up by
what high Australian officials
have. urged. The Chinese have
been knocking at the door for
months for greater assistance in
the way of weapons and planes.
Some of the Democratic Sem
ators who listened to Senator
Chandler took different position
from that of Senator Barkley.
Senator George of Georgia, for
example, while diSclaiming any
attempt to be military strate-
gist, said that with reported
output of more than 5000 planes
a month, this country should be
able to send 500 planes to Mac
Arthur and another 500 to China
Or even 1000 to each.
Unfortunate Feeling.
No one expects the administra-
tion to announce the disposition
of the military forces and sup
plies. No one expects a revela-
ton of military secrets that would
be of value to the enemy. But it is
peculiarly unfortunate that there
should grow up and spread about
this country feeling that the
Pacific area is the Stepchild of
this war. And it is even more un-
fortunate that there should be a
whispering campaign that parti-
san politics have something to do
with the situation.
New Dealers are too quick to
see an attack on the administra-
ton in these demands-such as
that voiced by Senator Chandler
for greater military and naval
strength in the Pacific. Senator
Chandler frankly declared that
the japanese are one of the
strongest enemies we have in this
war. He just as frankly pointed
out the error of permitting them
to increase their strength, and
the danger not only to Alaska but
to the whole Pacific Coast if the
Japanese are permitted to con-
struct air bases in the Aleutians,
from which they may send bomb
ing expeditions to disrupt our
lines of supply, and to prepare for
a real attack on United States
territory.
Timely Warning.
The eyes of the country have
been focused on the Pacific ever
since the disastrous Jap attack
on Pearl Harbor, since the fall of
Singapore and the conquest OF
the Philippines. There was great
encouragement from the blows
which have been struck at Mid
way, the Coral Sea, in Guadal-
canal and New Guinea. But the
more recent reports Of japanese
activity in the Pacific have been
disquieting.
Senator Chandler sounded a
timely warning. If there was any
political significance in it, it was
good Democratic doctrine. Aside
from that, and OF greater impor-
tance, it was good American
doctrine.

much trouble. Observers placed
on the border states are able to
give us a relatively comprehen-
sive picture of the situation in
those two countries. But Japan
is isolated and with the exception
of small bits of information from
French Indo- China and Siam
which reach us through China
most of the intelligence regarding
the rest of the Japanese domi-
mated countries is mostly guess
work.
Conquered Natives Drafted.
However, by piecing together
sketchy information the Allies
have reached the conclusion that
the Japanese are substantially
increasing their manpower by
drafting into service natives from
Java, Sumatra, Borneo and the
other conquered territories.
Some of them are good for
labor battalions only. These men
are being used to build up fortifi-
cations, underground hangers
and gasoline stores for japanese
aviation. They also are used in
the new yards and ammunition
factories which the Japs are re-
ported constructing in the prin-
cipal South Pacific islands in
preparation for an eventual
American offensive.
Others, however, like the ma
tives of the Netherlands Indies
and Indo China, are being
trained as fighting men. Some
of them had military training
when the territories were under
French. Dutch and British con-
troll. They make excellent cam
non fodder. AS yet they have not
been identified in actual combat
in the South Pacific, and it is
assumed that they are being kept
as garriSons in these various
areas and in the Philippines, thus
releasing a large number of Japs
for fighting in the more active
areas.
Sufficient for Policing.
There are reliable reports that
Anamite and Tonkinese troops,
who were USED successfully in the
World War by the French, have
been organized in native legions
and sent to the Philippines to
replace Japanese garrisons now
in the Southwest Pacific.
They are considered sufficient
for their task as a police force.
The japanese do not believe
there will be an American attack
in the area until Hitler is de-
feated, and so long as Hitler is
fighting they see no need for
better force in the conquered
islands.
Should the information prove
correct all our estimates about
Japan's manpoWer will have to
be revised. 1t is equally to be
assumed that if reports of new
factories and yards being estab-
lished in Java, Sumatra and pos
sibly Borneo are true the esti-
mates about japanese production
of war material also must be
revised, and the number of planes
and men needed by Gen. Mac
Arthur will have to be greatly
increased.

WHAT KINDS Of meat keep
best? What Is the best way TO
store meat These questions are
often asked today when every
meat purchase is important.
when there's less meat on the
civilian front because the fight
ing men come first.
Meat is a periShable. product
some kinds more so than
others. And because Of varying
factors-lcngth of time it's held
by the dealer, the efficiency of
the home refrigerator or quality
of the mcat-there can be no
set rules on the length Of time
meat can be stored safely at
home.
Recalling the smoked meats
hanging all winter in farm wood
shed or milk house years ago,
many people think smoked meats
keep indefinitely The truth Of
the matter is. smoked varieties
should be stored as carefully as
fresh ones.
Careful Refrigeration
The Improvements in smoking
Of meats 10 produce mild uni
formly favored hams, picnicS,
and bacon have increased the
need for vigilance in caring for
them. Hams no longer need
soaking overnight or precooking
but they do need careful refrig-
GRAFTON just as fresh cuts do.
While the idea prevails that
cooking meat preserves it, it is
true that cooked meat must
be stored carefully to prevent
waste. To keep meat from dry
ing out, cover leftover cooked
meat and store in the coolest
part of the refrigerator. For
leftover dish, cut or grind meat
just before preparing the recipe
rather than before storing.
Use the ground type within
"a hours of its purchase, since
it is more pcriShable than
larger cut.
Below 40 Degrees
Keep all-fresh, cured smoked
or cooked-verN cold. that is.
at temperatures below 40 de-
grceS. Even at these tempera-
lures, remember 4 II meat is
