M'ARTHUR GETS LITTLE

! ALLIED II J. ADO UART L II S,
/ Southwest Pacific, Nov. II. (UP)--
/ The southwest Pacific is receiving
less than 10 per cent of America s
war shipments. a spokesman for
Gen. ouglaS Macarthur said today
as new Allied air successes were
reported from the battlefronts.
Even that amount which runs
smaller for aircraft-is better than
before. the spokesman. Col. l.. A,
Diller, said in commenting on a
statement by Rear Admiral w. H.
Younds that MacArthCrs flow of
supplies was enough for large
scale offensive.
The southwest Pacific" Diller
said has something less than five
per cent of American military re-
sources and is now receiving some
thing under 10 per cent of what
America is shipping overseas.
MORE THAN BEFORE
This is much more than for
merly. The percentage of air re-
sources is somewhat lower. With
out complaint, the area is doing
everything it can with what II
has"
The statement was the most spe-
cific of many issued in the long
dispute over the quantity of war
material being furnished Mac
Arthur for his offensive to drive
the Japanese out of their island

The five per cent figure applied
to ground forces and equipment but
not to planes OF naval forces. The
southwest Pacific has practically
no naval force. 1t also was not

DER FURHRER'S FACING IT

(Christian Science Monitor)
Germany, the Fuehrer has just spoken
to you. Yes. he knows you are feeling
a bit uncertain about things. But don't
worry; a few executions on the home
front will take care of that, at least for
a while. He senses your growing desire
for peace, even a compromise peace. He
is against compromise peace. $50, you
may have noted, are the United Nations.)
Are you afraid? Your Fuehrer will
never be afraid. He says: Everything
is possible, but that l should lose my
nerve is impossible And that is all that
matters to you. As long as your Fuehrer
feels all right, what matter how you
feel?
And Germany, are you worthy of Adolf
Schicklgruber? That is no small order.
Do you hear how he says: "If Germany
breaks under the strain. would not be
sorry for it; it would not deserve any
better fate? Do you hear? Adolf is
asking Germany to be worthy of him.
All, Germany. what a high calling is
yours! You still are given chance-by
Hitler if not by the Allies-to make your
Fuehrer proud of you, or at least not
to disappoint him after all he has done

JUVENILES
(Colton Courier)

(Colton Courier)
1t has long been against the Courier $
policy to print the names of juveniles
who become involved in minor fracases
with the law. Our feeling on this has
been that child should be without the
ugly publicity on his first offense, that
after all. he is a child and not entirely
responsible.
We still feel that he is not entirely
responsible, but we are changing our
policy a little because of the steady rise
in juvenile delinquency. 1t has to be
stopped. SO from now on we are going
to print the names of second offenders,
regardless of their youth.
We want to point out too that it really
isn't the child's fault as rule. Usually
it is lack of proper parental supervision
Too much spare the rod SO when you
read the names of the boys who insist
on breaking laws and generally making
nuisances of themselves. blame the par
ents. Very few of the parents will want
to be blamed by the whole city for what
their children are doing. and you will
probably see a decline in the crime waves
in miniature.

Meeting Of ALI ed
Chieftoins Seen

before New Years day as distinct
possibility.
One diplomat in touch with intel
ligence reports from dozen oc-
cupied or satellite capitals forecaSt
that Adolf Hitler already faced a
choice of abandoning the Balkans
or committing one quarter of his
armies to defend Rumania-Which
would be lost cause, anyway, III
the long run.
The virtual certainty that the
Germans will have been expelled
from all southern Russia by the
end of winter, if not before, is the
greatest factor in the approaching
crisis, but the American raid on
Sofia and its promise of increasing
attacks on the Balkans also prob
ably will have an important influ-
ence.
Reports reaching London from
Europe say that the RumanianS
again are sounding out, through
third parties, the possibility OF Il
separate peace. Probably in connec-
ton with these reports, Rumanlan

TRADE WITH RUSSIA

1 ne MOSCOW agreements, the Connally
Resolution and Premier Stains speech
on the October Revolution anniversary
have all served to diminish the fear Of
what Russia is going to do" that has
perturbed good many Americans. And
further cause to breathe easy is found
in a speech made on the occasion of the
anniversary by Ernest c. Ropes, Russian
specialist in the Department of Com
merce.
Mr.. Ropes made a plausible and ell
couraging prediction of increased trade
between the United States and the Soviet
Union after hostilitieS ceaSe-or perhaps
even before. The prospects of such
trade augur good relations. For it should
be borne IN mind that. while Russia's
military successes will command respect
and Difference at the peace table, Russia
will also need our help in the early days
of peace, and will doubtless try to avoid
any differences serious enough TO imperil
that help.
Much of Russia's best land, much of
her industry and many of her important
cities have been devastated. Property in
uncounted millions of dollars has been
destroyed. Much must be replaced as
quickly as possible before normal and
orderly life can resume.
machine tools, equipment for oil wells
and refineries, electrical installations,
and manufacturing plants of all kinds.
He also puts forth the possibility that
Russia might modify a long-standing
policy and begin importing consumers,
as we'll as producers, goods - such
things as American automobiles, refrig-
orators and vacuum cleaners.
Russia will naturally trade with other
countries, too, and that trade will be well
coined and cultivated. But it is known
fact that the United States stands in
highest favor with the Soviets among the
nations that have helped them toward
industrial modernization. Russian indus
try is modelled on American lines. Ameri-
can engineers, chemists and other experts
have made friends with the Russians and
have won their respect.
All this is important in nation where
the government runs business as we'll as
foreign affairs. 1t tends to clear the
atmosphere of fear of the "Red menace"

The BkCKSAC MYSTERY

For short time after the OPA an
nounced price ceilings on furs, it seemed
that the entire structure of fur-bearing
aristocracy might come toppling to the
ground. Reading the price list, one could
envision the day when the promise of a
mink coat to wear on her afternoon off
would be no more inducement to house
maid than would the promise of an old
mackinaw.
For OPA had set a mere $40 ceiling
on mink, while ernine was measly S4.
But along toward the end of the list of
97 domestic and foreign varieties of pelts
was something called squirrel backsacs
ceiling, S195. Here was obviously the
most expensive, luxurious fur in the
world
Society gasped and shuddered, but not
for long. OPA came along with the ex-
PLANTATION that squirrel backsacs are the
backs of Russian squirrels, dressed dyed,
stripped and sewed together in sufficient
quantity to make fur garment.
OPA didn't explain why it priced
everything else by the pelt Gncluding
S125 for American silver fox and II
cents for Scotch mole) and then put a
fur-blanket price on the backsacs. Per-
haps OPA just wanted to see society
jump.
