lively rude to bring any new
problems TO his mind
But, you see, we have troubles,
too, and one of them is maneu-

the realm of possibility that ia
pan might keep whiting at us
until we are down to splinter.
NOV Uncle Joe wants a sec

which, in our relation of pal, we
would be a part
No one can blame him for that
desire, because his country is
fighting for its life.
But our nation also is fighting
for its life, and we would like a
sort of a second front in Asia.

and il seems to me, simpleton
that / am about such matters,
that if Uncle Joe expects us 10
send our soldiers to die for him,
he ought TO be willing TO give us
bit Of land in exchange for
their blood.
OF course ! know the argument
that If he gave us the bases,
Japan would declare war on
Russia and imperil her from an
other direction.
That argument has been used

WE HAVE JUST
BEGUN TO FIGHT

While the Battle of Europe rapidly
approaches a climax, the war in the Pac-
ific is just in its opening stages.
Secretary of Navy Frank Knox and
other high-ranking naval officers recent
ly gave a clear indication of what to eX-
pect in the fight against the Japanese
when they declared that the navy is pre-.
pairing to fight at least until 1919.
The Japs are foe worthy of our best
in manpower and equipment. They have
proved that on Attu, Guadalcanal and
other South Pacific Islands. They must
not be underestimated
Already the initiative has been wrest-
ed from the japanese and our men are
on the attack. But they must fight on
a battlefront thousands of miles in cir
cumference and over terrain varying from
the ice-bound Aleutians to the jungle
sweat-holes of the Solomons. 1t will be
a long fight.
With our present strategy of tending
to Hitler and his subordinates in Europe
first and then turning our attention to-
ward the little yellow men, the hour
when all our soldiers come marching
home will be far off in the future.
The Japs fight tenaciously. They
must be killed one by one. for they re-
fuse to be captured. This process is slow
and costly with our gains registered in
inches, feet and yards instead of miles
as in Tunisia and Sicily. Because the
Japs must be exterminated, all our over
powering mass of equipment and crack
troops must be turned on them in order to
eliminate casualties on our side as much
as possible.
That is where the time element enters
into the picture.
The most optimistic military observers
agree that it will be late in 1914 before
Hitler's gang" may be cornered. After
that there will be police duty, establish
ing free governments and other details
of the peace. This will consume more
of the vital element-time.
Then our men and supplies must be
transported almost half way around the
world to meet a new enemy.
