San Diego Veterans of Foreign
Wars urge early courtmartial of
Admiral Kimmel and Lieut.. Gen.
Short on charges of gross negli-
gence arising out of the Pearl Har-
sor disaster when they were in
command there.
We should all like to see such ac-
ton, including, perhaps, the two
potential defendants. But If the
action were pressed now 1t. would
have to be star chamber. to protect
military secrets and the public,
the administration and Kimmel and
Short all are entitled to an open
trial.
The v. F. w. fears that the
statute of limitations will make the
two commanders immune unless
they are tried before Dec. Z. 1914.
Under common law that is not
true, provided charges are filed be-
fore the statute runs. 1t must be
assumed that Washington will pro-
tect the public's right by preferring
charges, even though actual trial
has to be deferred,

S. Burton Heath
Writes:

Winston Churchill's frank, intel
ligent discussion of Anglo -Ameri-
can-Soviet relations, with reference
both to the so-called second front
and to political considerations aris-
ing out of recent and potential sue
cesses. ought to silence those who
for so long have been shouting
about Anglo American "anti-
Sovietism."
The fact is, as we have said be-
fore and Winston Churchill says
now, that failure of Great Britain
and the United States to work more
closely with Russia is not our fault.
If it is a fault, and probably it is,
the onus is upon Moscow.
President Roosevelt and Premier
Churchill have long wanted to
have Premier Stain sit in on policy
conferences, not including that at
Quebec which the Soviet leader
could not well have attended unless
he is ready now to establish a sec
ond front of his own against
Japan. ,.,
For his own reasons, which we
can assume to be good, Stain has
chosen not to become a full men,
ber of the United Nations supreme
council. Mr.. Churchill says blunt
ly that he and the President have
been and are willing to undertake
further immense journeys" for the
sake of sitting down with Stain
and talking things over. Could he
do more?
With equal frankness he has
gone further along that line, and
has said that he and the President
would like to have Russia par-
ticipate in political decisions aris-
ing out of Anglo American victories
in the Mediterranean.
As for the second front. MIR.
Churchill comedies freely that
Premier Stain is justified in seek
ing, in every possible way, to in
duce Great Britain and the United
States to take more of the weight
of German arms off the Soviet.
But we, on our part. must con-
slider the long-run possibilities. OF
what avail would it be to open
second front in western Europe be-
fore we are ready, to take the
burden off Russia temporarily, and
then, suffering fatal defeat be-
cause of impatience, lose the war
we now are winning?
The time for the second front
that Stain asks from us Is nearing,
lust as the time for the second
front that we are not asking from
Stain, but that would be immensely
valuable to both Great Britain and
| the United StateS-a Russian front
against Japan may come some
day.
We have not invaded western
Europe because we were not yet
physically capable of handling that
assignment with reasonable pros
poets of success. Stain has not
taken on Japan, presumably, be-
Imperial Valley press., 1943-09-12

cause he cannot handle two fronts
at once.
Both of us must be motivated'
by sound military judgment
Neither of us can be expected to
move until, in the words of Mr.
Churchill, I'VE are satisfied that
there is good prospect of con-
tinuing success and that our SOL
diers' lives are expended in ac-
cordance with sound military plans
and not squandered for political
consideration Of any sort"
We do not reproach Stain for
following that course in connection
with Nippon, much as we would
like to have a bomber base around
Vladivostok, about $50 air miles
from Tokyo.

WE
the Women
By RUTH MILLETT

The War Food Administration is
planning to allot more sugar for the
making of jams and jellies, because
it wants the American people to eat
more bread-a plentiful food. And
it figures that in order to sell the
people on the idea, it must be jam
coated.
What are we civilians, anyhow, a
bunch of kids who have to be brib-
ed and cajoled into doing what is
best for us and for the war effort?
1t looks that way. In order to
sell us bonds to fight the war, we
have to be shown promising pictures
of what our money will buy for us
when the war is over.
In order to get enough of us wo-
men into our countrys uniform ca
privilege for women of country
fighting a hard war; we must be
shown how much we'll get out of
the experience.
In order to keep ES from COM
planning too much about the things
we can't have now, we have to be
told constantly what a luxurious
life tomorrow is going to bring us,
with private plane for papa and a
mechanical dishwaSher for mama
as part of the picture.
Everything We are asked to do
or go without has to be sugarcoat-
ed. We must have jam for our
bread, promises of ten-fold return
on OUR sacrifices
Imperial Valley press., 1943-09-12
JAM NOT NEEDED

But do we really have to be
treated that way?
Can't we stand little blood
sweet-and-tear talk-straight from
the shoulder? Can't we be made 10
see that we are lucky to have plen-
ty of bread?
DO we really have to have jam

judged. Maybe we aren't the child

Maybe we are adults who can take
our bread without jam and remem-
Der to thank the Lord for it.

the year was that of Mr.. Anderson.
War has been his single subject for
the past several seasons, ever since
"Key Largo" was born out of the
Spanish revolution, but he has not
been able to bring it off with any,
thing resembling the old Anderson
skill. He has not, that is, until this
year, when ''The Eve of st. Mark"

piece of ry-telling, turned out to
be the first successful play pro-
duced in wartime.
Among the three productions, 1t

Home Gardening Specialist. Michigan State College
By PERRY .BOWSER

4 FTER we have decided what TO grow,
"A the next step is selection of varieties
and how much of each We need. Here is
a reminder lest we forget-we are pro-
ducing vegetables this year for fresh
use on the table during the garden sea-
son, and surplus garden for preserva-
tion-canning and storage. We should
buy enough seeds early, in fact, now, for
all these garden needs.
Here are a few dos and don'ts con-
corning seed purchases:
Select your seeds with care-the
success of your garden is at stake.
Purchase only the recommended
and better varieties if possible.
3-Purchase seeds early while choice
of varieties is still available.
specify packet seeds when possible
bulk seed is for commercial growers.
5--Do not order or buy more than
you need. Some seeds do not terminate
as well the second year.
6-Do not waste seeds on a too large
garden, or by planting in a poor site.
Get out those seed catalogs again and
compare notes. Check each catalog with
the recommended lists. Also, make use
of data given on planting dates and
yields per row. This information is a
valuable aid when making your plans.

IT garden furniture is to be ex-

Painting new furniture is SIM
pie. but going over old paint and
getting it in condition to apply a
new coat is not so easy.
First scrub the old paint with
soap and water to get rid OF dirt
and SCOT. Don't forget that the
under side has to be painted too.
If there are chips or blisters in
the paint, these places should be
filled with putty. After the putty
has hardened. smooth off with
sandpaper.
Thin the paint for the first coat
by adding turpentine and linseed
oil. After il has been applied. and
has dried. roughen it with coarse
sandpaper. There IS no necessity
for thinning the second coat.

THIRD FOR CANNING

The third was planned primarily
for canning and included five kinds
of tomatoes lone early, two late
and two small-fruited). as well
as beets. beans and carrots.
The fourth was a storage garden
featuring late vegetables such as
parsnips, turnips. rutabagas and
red and white cabbage.
In addition 10 these four. two
10-foot strips down the length OF
the garden were devoted on one
side 10 melons and squash and the
other 10 pumpkins and cucumbers.
Produce from the garden was
taken every Thursday 10 a sani-
tarium. six needy families were
furnished with vegetables from it
and still more went 10 the Com
munity House for its Thursday
night suppers.
Two rows Of each vegetable
were planted at one time and Just
as soon as these were harvested
a second crop was planted. either
OF the same vegetable or another

row. Yet it takes pound of early
green beans to plant 200 feet in row. or
a pound of some kinds pf late sweet corn
to plant 100 feet in a ROW.
How about seeds saved from last
years purchases? A little patience and
these can be tested for termination.
Many kinds lose strength, some, like
carrots, are viable or have life for ger
mination for several years, others vii
terminate though several years old.
With food values already in mind, the
safest system is to purchase fresh seeds
if there is any question of wasting land,
fertilizers, preparation and p anting
labor.
Actual buying of seeds. whether done
at the seed store or by mail, should be
done with list in hand The needs
then can be checked against the contents
of packets, which indicate about what
length of row can be planted from The
packet.

rules.
Don't dig up your garden too
early, especially if the soil is heavy.

how many weeks they take to
reach transplanting stage. Then
figure backwards from the date

put them in the garden and arrive
at planting date.
Don't put lime on your soil just
on general principles. Send soil
sample 10 Michigan State College

concentrations for your particular
soil. Unless lime is suggested, save
your money for something your
soil really needs.
Don't plan 10 put the same
vegetables in the same places in
your garden that they were last
year. 1t is a better plan to put
root crops where green's grew
beforehand vice versa. Different
crops use different chemicals from
the soil and this crop rotation
helps even things up.
