Now, when ship comes in for re-

REDS HAVE GREATEST
SCORE TO SETTLE

While citizens of many occupied coun-
tries have scores of cruelty and oppres-
sion to settle with the Nazis, the Russians
have the greatest debt to repay.
But it will be a repayment based upon
the democratic conception of justice.
The Soviet authorities have kept very
careful record of the horrors perpetrated
against the luckless civilians caught be-
hind the German lines. As the time APP
proaches for retribution the Russians
are also carefully preparing for that.
Undoubtedly Soviet statesmen were
largely responsible for the strong state
ment concerning punishment of atrocities
in the Moscow declaration. They will
see that the words are backed by action
once Germany has been brought to her
knees.
These are samples Of the way the Rus
sian civilians were treated: 10000 starv-
ed or killed at Kharkov, poison Smeared
on the mouths of children at Rostov, dy
Mantle tossed into a cave where the pop
ulace of one small town had taken ref
uge.
At Malayagat children were herded
into deep tank ditch, tommygunned and
buried.
The list of known atrocities is very
long Many of the inhuman acts of the
barbarans went unrecorded because no
witnesses lived to report them.
The punishment shall not be on an
"eye for an eye" basis, for under the tri-
partite agreement the criminals response
BILE for the horrible deeds will be given
fair trials. There is little doubt of the
sentences, however.
If repayment were to be made on an
equal" basis, hundreds of thousands,
perhaps millions, of German citizens
would have to be slaughtered
One thing is sure. There will be no leni-
ency for instigators Of the diabolical
happenings for political reasons.
The Russians will see to that!

Editorials and Comment
OCTANE IS GOING TO WAR
(Santa Rosa Republican,

We are told officially that the quality
of our gasoline is going to be reduced,
as we'll as the quantity. For the dura-
ton, or as long as our sky fighters need
high octane gasoline the quality of civil
ian motor fuel will be lowered, perhaps
as low as that of the cheapest grades
formerly sold at service stations. This
has not happened yet, but it is going to
happen soon, according to word this
week from the War Production Board.
This means that high-compression mo-
tors which most cars now have, will re-
quire some readjustment to get the best
results. Retarding the spark may be
enough, but readjuStment of carburetors
or other changes may be necessary to
make the old bus perform we'll.
1t is estimated that the new gas will
give about twenty per cent less mileage.
If you're getting fifteen miles to the
gallon now, you probably will drop down
to about twelve or less. 1t would ap-
pear that warworkers may require a
larger supply of gasoline to meet their
needs. Trucks probably will not be eff
fected so severely, since most of them
have engines of lower compression than
passenger cars.
If this new SITUATION turns out as
predicted, we shall be turning back the
calendar couple of decades on motor
performance. With the new gas we
shall not go zooming up the long hills in
our accustomed manner. There will be
longer warmlng-up period and hills
will call for more Second-gear driving.
None of us will like the new kind of
gasoline but neither do we like war.
The sooner we get the war over, the more
quickly we can get back to normal liv-
ing in all respects. Good Americans will
waste no valuable time in complaint,
but will get in and do everything to win
the war quickly

A KINGS WORRY
(San Diego Union)

(San Diego Union)
Premier Badogio has told King Victor
Emmanuel that Italy wants no more of
him; that he had better abdicate and let
the Italians form a representative gov
ernment. Moreover, he told the king
that while he was at it, he had better
persuade Grown Prince Umberto to re-
nounce his claim to the throne, too.
In thus confronting his monarch with
a problem the Italian premier has shown
more consideration than has been the
lot of most European kings of recent
years. Usually pistol shot or a mill
tary seizure of the palace is the accepted
way of disposing of unwanted rulers.
But that isn't Badoglios way. Instead,
he confronts the little king with an ulti-
matum then goes away and lets him wor-
ry in peace and alone
And, in view of the fact that the
monarch didn't take the hint, but ap-
parently decided to think it over for
awhile, perhaps there wasn't too much
amiss with that radio broadcast a few
weeks ago which referred to the moron
ic little king" of Italy.

CHUNGKING, Nov. (UP) - A

FINLAND PAYS EVERY CENT
pasadena Star-News)

Every American remembers Finland
as the country that always paid on its
war debt to the United States, long after
the other debtor nations had quit. 1t
finally became matter of semi-annual
routine for American newspapers to re-
port that the other debtors were default
ing and that Finland was paying as
usual.
During the last two years the Finnish
payments were not made, because of
the strain on Finland's finances caused
by its war with Russia but payment was
resumed last June, and a few days ago
announcement was made at Washington
that the Firms will increase their pay
ments $4,000 a year for 20 years in or
der to make up for the two-year lapse of

POSTWAR MERCHANT MARINE

The United States will end this war in
position, theoretically, to dominate the
ocean shipping of the world. Our mer-
chant marine will be perhaps twice as
large as that of Great Britain, and will
dwarf those of all other nations. But
most of our enormous tonnage will be in
Liberty ships.
Far be it from US to disparage the Lib
erty ship, which is enabling us to win
the war. But any expert will tell you
that Liberty ships can not hold ocean
cargo trade in competition with the craft
that Great Britain and other maritime
nations will start building as soon as
they can catch their breath after peace
returns.
For few years our enormous tonnage
of usable shipping will give us control
over world trade In the long run we
shall have to work out an intelligent, bel
ligerent shipping policy or we shall drift
once more into the maritime background.
Much of the merchant fleet with which
we shall compete for postwar business
will have to be built after the war. How
great a proportion, will depend some
what upon the extent to which it proves
possible to shift from Liberty ships, our
war mainstay, to Victory ships, which
would be useful in war and competitively
capable in peace.
Except as to what may remain OF our
pre-war fleet, and as to whatever craft
with permanent competitive value we
may find it feasible to build during the
war; we and the British, at least, will
start the race to rule the oceans on some
thing like an even footing so far as ton
mage is concerned.
In other ways, however, this country
shall be in preferred position.

today the Warplane output may

the end of this year.
A new record Of 1852 planes was
set in October. That exceeded Sep
TENDERS figure by 764 craft and
that of August by 750.
Officials pointed out that many
factors may prevent attainment of
