PROBLEMS AHEAD

SURELY NOBODY can toke issue with the deosm OF
those post-wor planners typifed by Vice President
Wallace who are thinking out loud how the four free
dons can be made worldwide otter we detect the
oxs.
The trouble is, Mr.. Wallace and others seem to
be overlooking some very proctcol difficulties which
ore as deep-rooted as human nature and the PrInc-
Piles Of democracy.
1t is not cosy to determine from the attractive
architects drawings whether the planners expect their
beneficores to welcome reody-node suit OF post
war rehabilitation. Of course could try to hand
the rest of the world whot think it ought to like
toke it or leave it, Presumably Mr. Wallace, belev-
ina in democracy does not have thot alternative in
mind
Consider the intense foctionoI differences among
Frenchmen We and the British ore freeing North
Africa from oxis military domination, preparatory to
berotine metropolitan France.
One would suppose thot the French could forget
their theological differences long enough to help drive
out the Germons-but they cant or won't. They
quorrel among themselves, with u.s. with the British,
at time when the only fight should be against Ger
mans and tolions
The same is true in Yuooslovio, where sponton-
eous motive guerilla opposition to the Nozis is forced
to bottle against Sovietinspred onti0ernon move
nnent, the Portisons although by cooperation these
two forces might we'll prove strong enough to create
an effective second front.
When we get around to applying the four free
dons to France and to Yugoslovio, with whom are
going to deal?
In YugosIovio do we purpose to deal with General
Mikhoilovitch, whose odherents apparently are
minority with the Soviet-sponsored Portsons? II
we select MikhoiIovtch, with whom presently we ore
in occord how shall we Justify that With democratic
prncipes-ond what is going to be Russios reoction2
Specifically we must make UP minds whether
ore going to help the world good neighbors or
whether purpose TO clean house for the liberated
nations and toke over control Of their economic and
political economies for reconstruction purposes?
Until we decide that, we cannot plan ntellieenty.

Pacific
Sci 10 Strike
Admiral Nimitz
Diseloses Plans

WASHINGTON, March -
(P)--The Pacific fleet is now
ready, says its commander in
chief, to start drive toward the
industrial heart of Japan itself.
Admiral Chester w. Nimitz' S
intentions were disclosed in a
statement issued through the
Navy department in connection
with the fund raising campaign
Of the American Red Cross.
Nimitz did not stop with pay
ing tribute to the Red Cross, bat
went on to say:
"We are now at the cross
roads of the Pacific campaign.
Through the unmatched devo-
ton of the men who held the
lines in the trying months of the
past year, we have turned back
the enemy in the South Pacific.
The loss of Guadalcanal marks
the first defeat of that kind Suf-
fered by the Japanese in mod
ern times.
From now on the going will
be tougher as we undertake the
task of driving the enemy from
prepared positions he has been
building in the conquered areas,
1T is our job to destroy his
ships. and planes and to neutra-
lie his island strongpoints as
we drive toward the positions
from where we can reach with
our shells and bombs his indus
trial nerve centers. Our men
have the will and the spirit to
carry on, and our home front is
busily engaged in supplying us
with the tools"
His statement was preceded by
a Navy communiquc reporting
new successes in the Pacific war
on attrition. In an attack on ia
panese shipping in the Central
Solomons Saturday, Dauntless
dive bombers scored several hits
on transport off Vella La Vella
westernmost of the New Georgia
islands, and left it burning. One
of two accompanying corvettes
also was set afire.
At about the same time. other
dive bomberS raided the enemy
air base at Munda for the 18th
time. starting one large and two
small fires. One enemy float
type Zero fighter was shot down
in the attack on the transport
and two American fighter planes
we're lost.

50 Trapped

5 known Dead
Numbed Relatives
Await Report Of
Rescue Crews
BY LEFT ERICKSON

BEARCREEK, Mont, March
-(P)-Numbed, silent relatives
of 50 miners imprisoned in the
Smith coal mine since an explos-
ion Saturday waited today while
rescuers combatted deadly gases
with an emergency blower set
deep in the hillside mine.
At least five miners were
known dead from the blast.
Their bodies were recovered.
Seven other bodies, a source
who refused to be quoted said
last night, have been located but
could not Immediately be
brought out because of condi-
tons in the tunnels.
Wives, mothers and sisters
waited stoically in the face of
rapidly vanishing hopes that the
entombed men could still be
alive. The miners had been with
out food since about 10 a. m.
(MST) Saturday.
ESCAPE POCKETS
It was theorized some of them
might have reached remote poe
kets of the mine free from gas.
There's long, possible
chance that tkey may have sur
survived, but it's almost beyond
hope" said Bill Romek, assistant
general manager of the mine.
The cause of the blast re-
manned unknown.
Fifty of the highly skilled res
cue workers were overcome by
fumes before new power blow
err was installed late yesterday
5000 feet inside the mine. The
original blower was demolished
by the explosion, which occurred
1000 feet from the entrance.
AS air was pushed farther in
to the mine, the searchers pro-
crossed nearer the point where
the men had been working -

M'Arthur Says
Enemy Poised
for Assault
Heovy Joponsss
Concentrations
Spotted from Air

The United Nations were put
on notice by Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur today that the japanese,
who for months have not at
tempted any large-scale often
sive enterprise, are concentrat-
ing their main strength in the
ring of islands stretching for
1000 miles more to the north
of Australia.
Our air reconnaissance over
the past weeks reports a constant
and growing reinforcement in all
categories of enemy strength in
the island perimeter enveloping
the upper half of Australia" said
the Allied headquarters COM
muniyue in Australia.
The enemy seems to be con-
centrating his main effort in pre-
paration on this front. Such an
resemblance of major force indi-
Gates he is taking up q position
in readiness.
This announcement was sup
plemented by a headquarters
spokesman who said the Japan
ese preparations might DE Stther
for defense or offense, and was
matched by a statement by Ad-
miral Chester w. Nimitz. COM
mander in chief of the United
States Pacific Fleet, indicating
that the U. S. Navy might have
some cards up its sleeve.
AT CROSSROADS
I'VE are now at the crossroads
of the Pacific campaign" Adj
miral Nimitz said in q broadcast
sponsored by the American Red
Cross.
From now on the going will
be tougher as we undertake the
task of driving the enemy from
prepared positions he has been
building in the conquered areas.
1T is our job to destroy his
ships and planes and to neutrai.
ize his island Strongholds as we
drive toward the positions from
where we can reach with our
shells and bombs his industrial
nerve centers."
This statement was taken in
some quarters as hint that the
Navy was about ready for some
offensive action aimed eventual
ly at bringing not only Ameri-
can air power, but American ar
tillery. within range of the ia
panese homeland.
The warning of Gen. MacAr-
thur followed repeated state
ments in recent months by Pre-.
mier John Curtin of Australia
that the southwest Pacific area
is still crucial battle-ground.

tralian troops which have smash
