NO SHORTCUT TO VICTORY

CANBERRA, Australia, Dec. 3. victory in the Pa. cific must wait for events in Eu- rope. There is no shortcut to vic. tory, Prime Minister John Curtin said, as he had just completed an important conference with General Macarthur.
 In a press statement he said they had discussed the tripartite declaration in Cairo to defeat Japan.
 My discussions with MacAr- thur had in particular referred to the prolonged operations and were conditional by the jotk realization that final victory in the Pacific must largely wait on events in Europe"

 Alaska Be State

Washington-Alaska Delegate Anthony J Dimond, proposed that Alaska be granted State hood, and all privileges enjoyed by other States of the Union, and introduced a bill for admis- sion of the Territory as a state, and transfer to the state, all pub lie property, vacant and unap- propriated lands.
 The Bill requires. that after it's enactment, the Governor of the Territory will call a consti- tutiOnal convention, consisting of eight delegates to be elected from the First Judicial District, four from the Second, eight from the Third, and five from the Fourth, with one delegate at large. All are to be elected as members of the legislature.
 The convention will draw up the constitution and the neces- sary routine, to enable the terri tory to become a state.
 The constitution will have to be ratified by the people of the territory, at the same time in the electorate, cast ballots on the adoption of the constitution, when they vote for one represen- tative and two senators, a gov ernor, and a full complement of state officials.
 After the elections, the gover- nor will be required to certify the results to the President of the United States, who then will be required to issue a proclama- tion that the state of Alaska is admitted to the Union.
 Dimond said he believed the change from territorial status to statehood would increase the cost of government by only two million dollars making a total of four million, this he said was the main objection to giving AL aska Statehood, but that the in- crease would come from inVest- ed interests.

CAIRO, Dec. 2 (AP)-4Presi- dent Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill, and Generalissino Chiang Kai Shek, have held an historical five-day conference, have bound their nations in agreement to beat Japan into un- conditional surrender, and to strip her of all her. imperialts:i :ic gains of the century.
 The three leaders have left for unannounced destinations.
 In Washington it is assumed that an even more important meeting, particularly on the Eu- ropean phases of the war, would be held with Stalin.
 Reuters dispatches from Lis bon, Portugal, said the three had left for Teheran, the capital of Iran, there to meet Stalin in the biggest United Nations confer ence of the war.
 Berlin -broadcasts said this con- ference was already under way.
 In an extraordinary atmos- phere of secrecy and precaution, the three leaders of the United States, Britain, and China met from November 22nd through November 18th, surrounded by the highest military, supply and political advisers, and departed at least three days before the news was given to the public.
 A communique issued at the close of the meeting said they agreed upon plan of military operations against Japan, which would -'bring :unrelenting prese sure against their brutal enemies by sea, land and air., and drive Japan back into her home island.

new ideas, now military secrets, will
be available to commercial industry.
Thus industry, when it is re-
leased from its war work, will prac-
tically have to start from scratch in
building up stock pile, since so
many of the materials used in pre-
war days will be obsolete. This will
mean that many new factories will
be needed for the manufacture of
raw materials and that is where Ha-
gerstown comes in.

Mills, "have diversifcation of in

of commercial and private aviation

advantages make our city ideal as
an industrial center.
"Thus, in the final analysis, l have

In the press, on the air, at direc-
tors meetings, in church pulpits, at
civic luncheons, at the ball park and
on the street, Postwar planning is
today being discussed in one form or
another, and as United Nations vic
tories continue to bring us nearer to
the end of the War, the subject will
loom larger and larger in the public
mind.
The Globe-Independent, believing
that the people of Hagerstown are
deeply interested in and anxious for
a Postwar plan for their own city,
is interviewing civic and industrial
leaders on the subject, ''Hagerstown
After the War" Last week we
talked to the Mayor of Hagerstown,
Richard H. Sweeney, and this week
we interviewed H. l.. Mills, presi-
dent of the Hagerstown Chamber of
Commerce, who here presents his
views on the subject:
"Your question, What will happen
TO Hagerstown after the War;,
brings back to my mind what was
happening just before the beginning
of the War;" said Mr.. Mills.
Great strides were being made in
many fields. For instance, the field
of chemistry, the surface of which
had previously only been scratched,
was starting to come into its own
The outbreak of war, of course,
changed the chemists field of re-

Pfc. Clarence A. Armstrong, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. A. E. Armstrong, 81
Madison avenue, who is stationed
somewhere in the South Pacific,
sent his mother the following poem,
which was composed by one of the
boys in his outfit:
A Maryland Lament
Somewhere in the South Sea
Islands
Where the sun is like a curse
And each long day is followed
BY another slightly worse;
Where the coral dusk blows thicker
Then the deserts shifting sand;
And the white man dreams of a
finer
And slightly cooler land;
And where Maytag Charlie"
nightly
Robs a man of blessed sleep;
Whre there's no beer or whiskey
TO soothe this cursed heat.
Somewhere in the South Pacific
Where a woman's never seen;
Where the skies are never coludy
And the iungles are always green.
Somewhere in the Blue Pacific
Whre the mail is always late;
And even last years magazines
Are considered up to date;
Somewhere meath the Southern
Cross
The gooneys moan and cry
And malaria mosquitoes bite
And wait for us to die.
Oh! take me back to Maryland
The place l love so well
For this God forsaken island
Is too damn close to hell.

Another first" for the new cop
to remember is that he is always
open to criticism, even when he's
right. That is part of the job and
the fiat foot who loves to put on a
show for the benefit of spectators
while he slowly makes out a park
ing ticket, as an example, makes
the entire force look like something
in the funny papers.
Only a few nights ago, one of the
Braves stationed in the Public
Square put on an act that didn't get
any applause. A motorist, parking
overtime, returned to his car and
was ''bawled out" instead of being
issued ticket. It seems to me that
the proper procedure would be just
the reverse. He could have easily
walked up to the motorist, given
him ticket and in a natural voice
explained to the driver that he had
broken the law Standing ten feet
away and giving his lungs exercise
puts the whole department in the
crossroads category. And anyway,
he should have saved all that noise
for the Polic-Newsy baseball game.
