Chinese Plead
For Speedier
HeID bv Allies

CHUNGKING. Dec. 8 CUP) - A
Chinese government spokesman
Wednesday pleaded for quick Allied
action against japanese in the
China war theater TO cut short the
prolonged bloodshed there.
In q. statement issued rhortly
after the Chinese defeat at Chang
teh was announced, the spokesman
said:
To defeat Hitler is an important
task. But equal attention should
be paid to this theater Of war.
The Chinese people are willing
to shed more blood to attain COM
plete liberty and independence, Il
the Allies stepped in and helped
sooner, there would be less blood
shed"
He warned again that Japan has
been given time to make necessary
preparations for a final life and
death struggle with the United
Nations, including a reorganization
of the munitions industry and eX-
ploitation of natural resources in
occupied areas.
He compared the defeat at
Changtth 10 a cold water shower
in notwithstanding but with a
heightening effect The spokes-
man said the battle still was going
on outside the city and we are
looking forward to victory in that
area"
The spokesman said the signifi-
canoe of the Cairo and Tehran con-
ference lay in the fact that plans
for the overthrow CT japanese and
NaZi tyranny were Transformed
from The stage of discussion to the
final draft
Hitler and TOTO will be kept
guessing a long while about definite
decisions reached at the con-
ferences, but they may rest assured
that whatever is decided upon will
not be to their liking.
IF anything, these two great
conferences show complete unity Of
purpose to bear on the common
enemies, until they are brought TO
Justice. They also promise TO
create, after the present ordeal,
happier world, safe and fit for all
free and decent men.

Phone Company
Speeds Repair

Contending with manpower and
materials shortages, the Southern
California Telephone CO., worked
wednesday to restore telephone
lines affected by the rain storm OF
Monday night and Tuesday.
Jack Teel, company manager,
said that 1872 lines were put out
of order b. the rain.
an a great number of cases, the
present telephone trouble is to be
found in the drop wires, that is, the
wires extending from the cables on
the poles to the subscribers prem
ises," Teel said. I'm normal times,
the wires were replaced with new
rubber-covered wire when they de-
teriorated; but the amount of such
wire available for replacement this
year is limited, making it necessary
for the company to patch existing
wires"

SIop at vichy

BERN. Dec. 8. (UP)-A new and
important crisis in Germany's at
titude toward Vichy France ap-
peared building up today after the
return of Otto AbetZ, Nazi agent,
to Paris following talk with Adolf
Hitler.
"A diplomatic source in Zurich
said Vichy considered the situation
dangerous because aging Marshal
Henri Philippe Petain, Vichy chief
of state, allegedly had been in con-
tact with a foreign non-Axis gov
ernment."
This same source said Berlin poll
itical circles learned that Abetz had
been returned to favor in Hitler's
eyes-a position he had lost a year
ago-and had been instructed by
the fuehrer and Nazi Foreign Minis
ter Joachim Won Ribbentrop TO
''liquidate' Vicfy crisis.
There was no indication how this
would be carried out but Abetz was
said to have been told to inform
Petain the full power of the Reich
would be behind the move and
would act in favor of chief of gov
ernment Pierre Laval.
CThe newspaper Dagbladet in
Stockholm carried Bern dispatch
saying Abetz was empowered to go
to Vichy and negotiate on the basis
of far reaching concessions" to
Petain.
(These concessions, according to
a Stockholm dispatch, would include
return of deported French workers
to the Reich, cessation of Wehr-
macht requisitioning of French
products, and establishment of nor

Marshal Smufs
Says Parleys
Insure Victory

CAIRO, Dec. 8 CUP) - Marshal
Jan c. Smuts, Prime Minister of
South Africa and one of Prime
Minister Churchills principal adj
visers, said Wednesday that the
Cairo and Tehran conferences set
the stage for victory.
I'VE now have been through a
series of conferences which are the
most significant of the past 100
years" he said. The stage now
has been set and it merely remains
to carry to a conclusion this great
est thing which has happened Tor a
century, or possibly many centuries.
MAY BE LAST WAR
This may be the last war whicn
the world will ever see. All the OLD
ideas CT standing aside from the
war are passing. The few lucky
ones who are still standing aside
now are beginning to wonder
whether they were wise
Coincidentally or not. SHUTS re-
marks followed the conclusion oil
President Roosevelt and Prime
Minister Churchill's conference with
President Ismet Inonu of Turkey
and there was widespread specula-
ton over neutral Turkeys future
role in the war.
SHUTS came here from Britain
Monday and conferred with both
Mr. Roosevelt and Churchill.
The South African leader pre-
dicted today that 1914 would be
"one of the greav, decisive years OF
victory"
SHAPE FOR VICTORY
There never has been year ike
it," he said, things are shaping up
well for victory. In the past, there
has been just bare possibility that
where three such great powers as
Britain, the United States and RUS
sia were concerned, there might be
political differences = that they
might not see eye to eye.
From what I hear and under
stand there has been such a meas
ure of cooperation and good will
that it far exceeds the highest eX-
pectations.
