MOSCOW. Nov % CUP) - The

unusually blunt appraisal of JapanS
military position, that japanese
fighting spirit has begun to flag
and that fear of heavy Allied air
raids has increased among Nip

The magazine said Premier Hide

cabinet meeting that every day
brings gloomy proof that America
and England are making every ef-
fort to counter-attack and crush
Japan in the shortest time, despite
heavy sacrifices
The Anglo American bombing OIL

AND THEY KNEW IT
DAILY Oklahom&n)

Testifying before a congressional COM
mittee DR.. Gilbert of the 0PA admitted
that the OPA was advised by Its own
attorneys tit had 2700) as early as last
February, that its action in imposing
ceiling prices on meat was clearly illegal
and issued without any authority OF law.
But the ceiling prices were imposed
and have been enforced for nine long
months During that period the OPA
has been prosecuting citizens wholesale
for violating orders that were issued III
utter disregard of the law.
Now it is revealed that the whole pro
gram was known to be illegal even when
il was being launched. All of which Is
~of doubtful consolation to the citizen who
has been dragOoned and badgered and
bedeviled by an illegal prosecution.
And even now after the illegality of
the whole program has been admitted
there is nothing the wronged citizen
can do about it. For the law that Great
ed the OPA provided definitely that no
established court-federal, state, or ter
ritorial-shal have any jurisdiction over
the orders and policies and acts OF the
OPA. No matter what the OPA may do,
there is not an established court in Amer
lea that has the power to review the
0PA's action or grant relief to Wronged
citizen.
Here then is vast national bureau
free from all the restraints of the courts
and issuing orders without legal author
ity. And there is nothing in the world
that can be done about it. For the OPA
is beyond reach of the courts and Tree
from the restraints of the law. 1t makes
its own laws and enfOrces them, and II
citizen is punished illegally for violating
an illegal order, he has no remedy and
can obtain no relief.
Meanwhile we are sending millions OF
men overseas to destroy an order whose
exactions are no whit worse than those
practiced without restraint or challenge
by the OPA.
If Hitler should do in Denmark or
Belgium exactly what the OPA has done
in the United States, we probably would
hold Indignation meetings all over the

WHO RUNS OUR ARMY?
(The Chicago Tribune)

Last week Field Marshal Jan c. SHUTS,
the renegade Boer, made the announce
ment that America would have to carry
much the heaviest part of the burden of
the invasion of Europe.
This announcement, like all news of
our forces, came from London.
Now 1t. Gen. Douglas Browning says
that we must raise much larger army
than the 10 million men which is the
present goal announced in this country.
Who is running the American war eff
fort? The answer appears to be the
British war office. The American staff
and generals merely execute orders origi-
mating in London

MANY ISSUES IN POWER
DISPUTE ARE UNSETTLED

The threatened strike of Imperial 1rri-
cation district power employees seems to
have been averted but there are many
issues in the matter which remain to be
settled.
The whole idea of strike which would
disrupt power from vital military and
equally-as important farming operations
is wrong whether it be against public
utility or a private concern, in our esti-
nation.
In view of the AT of L pledge to the
president not to walk out in wartime,
labor's position of threatening a tieup
in this particular instance was very un-
favorable.
1t created an odd situation which prom
ised to see men striking against them
selves Many of the workers in the
power division are taxpayers and as such
are part owners of the district holdings.
Legally the position of the district
directors in refusing to delegate any of
their power to any union has been up
held. They have refused to grant any
concessions TO union organizers, whom
they blame with melting the workers to
make their demands
The directors have won every legal
point in question. As a political subdivi-
sion they are not subject to certain fed
eral regulations which govern other cor
porationS.
However, we are not sure that there
are not certain employer-employe condi-
tions within the district which could be
improved.
ANY such conditions will undoubtedly
be brought out in the investigation which
Acting Governor Fred Houser has con-
sented to hold here. And we are conf
dent that should such findings be made
and changes be recommended by an i'm
partial group, the district directors Will
make efforts to see that everyone gets
square deal.
On the other hand the governors rep
resentative may find that all present
conditions are fair. The unionmen
should be Just as willing to abide by such
a finding as the district would be IN case
the situation were reversed.
In any event it is essential that power
be kept flowing through district power
lines. Farmers, who are also part-own-
ers of the great organization which they
have helped build and are now helping
to run through their elected representa-
tives, have a perfect right to make GER
tain their property is not damaged,
either deliberately or by accident. If that
means posting guards at vital installa-
tons during time of violence, those
guprds should be there.
The power workers, the other district
employees Gncluding the directors), the
farmers and the general public awaits
with interest the scheduled hearing or
hearings.

Twenty one seamen were unoffi-

the collision of two tankers during
a dense fog off nearby Cape Hen
lopen early yesterday.
The fourth naval district at Phil
adelphia said 90 creWmen from one
tanker were rescued but the Off
cial number of missing was not di-
vulged.
The navy said one tanker caught
fire in the collision and was being
towed to an undisclosed port. The
other tanker was not damaged Seri-
ously and brought 80 survivors
from the first ship to shore.
The injured included six navy
gun crew members who were taken

PAY Income Taxes

. CHICAGO, Nov. ~. CUPo-Ran-

treasury, estimated that 100000
persons would be required to pay
income taxes next year.
Paul, addressing the National Tax
association. said simplification of
the tax law would be necessary
to handle the record number OF
returns. He contrasted the esti-
mate with 100000 returns filed in
the depression year of 1882.
Paul asserted that the house
ways and means committees pro-
posal to substitute a minimum tax
for the victory tax would compli-
cate rather than simplify the tax
payers problems. TIE minimum
tax would affect low-income groups.

He informed the command post of
