A LONG STEP TOWARD
SHORTENING THE WAR

A long step toward shortening the
war and ensuring a just and more dur
able peace was taken when the United
Nations successfully completed the prec-
edent-shatterng series of conferences at
Moscow.
Any hope that Hitler may have had
that the Allies would split over diplo-
matte or other matters must now be
abandoned as the foreign ministers of
the United States, Great Britain and
Russia announced that no separate peace
would be given the Nazis by any one Of
the Uiited Nations.
The arch-plotter of all times was given
notice that he can expect no leniency
when it was announced that those Allied
nations at war with a common enemy
will act together in all matters relating
TO the surrender and disarmament of
that enemy.
The principle of unconditional surren-
der was also reiterated.
But in the announcement which should
be received joyfully by US was the silent
warning that the final destruction OF
Nazidom will be difficult achievement.
For the Allies made quite clear what
the Nazi leaders and quislings who had
committed atrocities in the occupied
countries will be made to answer for
their crimes. Rather than risk Such
fate the probability is that those diaboli-
cal leaders will fight to the death.
A hopeful note that Russia may eventu-
ally cooperate with the u. 5. and Great
Britain against her traditional enemies
Of the Far East-the Japanese-was also
afforded when it was disclosed that Chi
nese representatives had participated in
some Of the II meetings.
If Russia were to turn her powerful
armies against our Oriental foe after the
banisnment of the Germans, the war in
that area would also be brought to
close much sooner than it has been antici-
pated.
In announcing that the conference as
a whole had been entirely successful, 1t
was minated that second land front
in western Europe besides the Italian IN
vasion will soon be gotten underway.
This in itself is good news. But per-
haps the best news from the entire par
ley is that the three nations at war
against Germany, together with CHINA,
have agreed on the necessity OF an inter-
national organization to maintain the
postwar peace.
Such an organization would not neces-
sarily guarantee that war will not again
spread over the earth but participation
in it could not get us in worse mess
than we are in already. The principle
is the same as that of any organized
group: banding together in an attempt
to achieve something which single unit
cannot itself achieve.

RENT CONTROL
Jacksonville Register-P Pajaronian)

Jacksonville Register-Pa aronian)
If the OPA rent control authority can
carry out its announced intention OF elm
mating all indications of crack down
on landlords and can set up machinery
fair to landlords and tenants alike on a
smooth-running and harmonious basis,
we see no reason why the great majority
of Monterey bay area residents should
be uncooperative when the order goes in
to effect Nov. l.
Henry Cross, OPA rent executive for
the San Francisco district, told Monterey
bay real estate brokers Tuesday that
government surveys revealed the neceS-
sity of extending the rent control to Mon
terey county and WatsOnville township.
The great influx of new people made it
mandatory to freeze rents at their March
|, 1912 levels.
In the past year, we have heard of
numerous instances where renters have
sought redress from what they believed
to be out-of-season rentals but nothing
officially could be done because this
region was not included in the rent con-
troll authority area.
And during those same months, we
have talked with many fair-minded land
lords who also have had very legitimate
complaints against careless tenants.
There is much to be said on both sides
of the issue and we hope sincerely that
the board or unit which is set up here to
arbitrate disputes will be composed of
capable, fair, far-seeing and reasonable
persons. WatsOnville has plenty such
citizens

The INKS STILL WET

One aim of the Moscow conference
seems to have been accomplished almost
before the ink was dry on the declaration
of intent
1t was the resolution to make the Ital-
ian government more democratic by in
cluding divergent political factions in
any new administration.
On the same day the decision was an
nounced Marshal Pietro Badoglio, ltal-
ian premier, told of the formation of a
new cabinet which included several anti
monarchists as we'll as anti-Fascsts.
In a country which has one of the few
remaining monarchies, this is indeed re-
markable.

j. s. Cruiser Hit
In Mediterranean

WASHINGTON, Nov. E-UP)-
The Navy announced today that the
light cruiser Savannah was dam
aged when enemy planes attacked it
during the landings at Salerno,
Italy, and scored a bomb hit on a
gun turret.
Material damage was sustained
and there were some dead and
wounded among the crew.
The fire caused by the exploding
bomb, which pictures showed pene-
trated the turret, was placed under
control in 20 minutes.
Despite the damage, the Savannah
continued to operate effectively
against the enemy, and, with the
cruiser Boise, the cruiser Phila-
delphia and other units, helped
cover the landing of troops.
The wounded were treated by
medical officers on the Savannah
and transferred to other vessels
even before the fire was extin-
guished.

that German industry is being de-
stroyed and that the homes of the
workers in German industry are
being destroyed. Some of these Ger
man cities look like Pompeii. They
are utterly gone. In contrast you

takes in this war such as 1alllIlS

RUSSIANS ADMIRED
THE Russians are very much
admired in Britain. Many English
men feel a deep sense of obligation
to the Russians because when Hitler
attacked Russia he let UP on his
air raids on England. Nobody who
has not been in an air raid can
comprehend what that meant to

ISLAND, Oct. 81
-CUP)-In a few hours, the Solo
mons campaign will enter its Bit
terest phase.
Tomorrow at dawn, American
Marines will poIr ashore on Japan's
last stronghold in the Solomons.
A large convoy of transports,
cargo ships and destroyers is pro-
ceeding up the Coral sea. The
transports are crowded with thou
sands of eager and cocky marines
spelling for a scrap.
We are landing at Cape Torokina
on Empress Augusta Bay, approXi-
mately so miles northwest of great
enemy troop concentrations at BUM
and Kahili.
It is estimated that not more than
few hundred Japs will oppose the
landing. But bitter fighting is ex-
pected along the three mile beach
head where the enemy lately has
been fortifying himself with bat
teries and machine gun nests.
HARRASS SUPPLY LINES
Our beachhead and subsequent
base on Augusta Bay promises to
interfere considerably with the
Japanese supply lines from Rabaul
to his southern Bougainville bases
The enemy's position already is
aggravated by the recent landings
on Choiseul island, southeast OF
Bougainville, and the Treasury ISL
ands to the southwest.
Thus q three cornered blockade
will be established when the ma
rines secure their beachhead, which
will place us within 270 miles OF
Rabaul-key to the enemy's declin-
ing South Pacific empire and spring
board for his air strength.
1t is apparent that the landing is
the beginning of the end of the
South Pacific war. Nonetheless
naval and military leaders expect g
long and difficult. struggle fol
Bougainville The Japanese have
an estimated $4,000 troops on Bou-
granville and Buka-mostly concen-
trated in southern Bougainville.
The offensive potentialities of the
enemy's resources on Bougainvillt

recent air attacks in which we rem

DIFFICULT JOB
Coupled with the enemy's declin.

air fields will make it extremely
difficult for the japanese either Il
