Colonel Nakao Yahagi tells Japanese
farmers that 1943 will determine whether
we eat our enemies or our enemies eat us"
The colonel is correct, technically. This
year has somewhat the same significance
in the Orient that 1912 had in the 0ccident.
Hitler had to win last year or never.
He did not. Now he never can. Hirohito
must win this year or never. He will not.
The difference is that Hitler might,
possibly, have won the war in his critical
year, but that Hirohito cannot 1t is only
a mater of time before the United Nations

affairs.

. Our Opinion ST.

Even If the number who observed the
prohibition law was As high as ninety
per cent, the ten per cent who patronized
the bootlegger made the Law a joke.
And a large proportion of that ten
per cent were reputedly good citizens but
they were not good enough sports to OBJ
serve a Law which interferred with their
personal desires. That's where the boot
logger of food products will get his chance
from persons who are not willing to
share the burden of the war by doing with
out some of the things to which they have
been accustomed.
Going back TO the prohibition parallel.
one of the reasons bootleggers thrived in
that era was that everyone was prosperous,
making more money that he knew what TO
do with and perfectly willing to pay the
outlandish prices for near-poison liquor.
More people are makig big money now
than there were in 19l7-1S, so there will
be the temptation to pay the fancy prices
which the food bootlegger will require.
To police black market viii be about
rs big job as trying to enforce prohibit
ton with the political machine that was
set up for that purpose. Enforcement of
rationing, in the final analysis is going to
be up TO American men and women who
are sincerely interested in seeing the war
won by the nations which want the world
TO be decent place in which to live.

. What's the Difference?

New York's impetuous Mayor LaGuardia
has pronounced horse meat degrading
not, perhaps, poisonous, but immoral. II
ever ii is sold there, the Little Flower pro-
poses to put a sort of mark of Cain on the
depraved thus-and-so responsible.
The world is fun of persons who do not
want to eat horse meat--those who as
sumo it to be tough or unpalatable and
those who love horses.
So what? Did the mayor ever raise
rabbits, or keep chickens, or care for
gentle cows?
Or pigs that liked to have their backs
scratched?

Sincerity

Editor The Times: Recent news
calls to mind the old saying about
consistency being a jewel. We
have just had in the message on
the state of the Union, as well
as in many other public utter
ances, some very grand planning
for the future, plans, by the way,
that are not only right but en-
tirely practical for the attain
ment of justice, security and rea-
sonsble equality for all. But when
Mr.. Churchill tightens his hold on
his present position by appeasing
those who keep him there, those
of his own class, with a state
ment that he is not planning TO
witness the disintegration of the
British Empire and Mr.. Roosevelt
appoints one Flynn to represent
the United States of America IN
Australia as a cheap political ex-
pediency. hoping no one will
notice, we wonder about sincerity.
There is nothing in personal re-
lations nor international relations
that can 90 as far in securing
what we profess to be fighting
for as just plain sincerity. Then
the Chinese would not have TO
inquire if the Atlantic Charter
really was even meant to include
them.

Profit Motive

Considerable mystery is said to
surround the failure of farmers
to market hogs more freely es-
pecially when production in 1912
was ahead of 1871 and when out
put is expected TO run some
twenty per cent larger.
There is no mystery. say pack
ers. Farmers have changed their
price views since President
Roosevelt's huge hundred billion
dollar budget and because the
farm bloc is gaining in strength.
It's g case of profit motive, say
packers.

Aid to China

Editor The Times: For more
than a year we have been at war
with Japan. which seeks to domi-
nate Asia and the Pacific. Dur
ing this period Japan has ex-
panded its combat area many
miles, hoping thus TO make its
empire safe from attack. We are
allied with China, and China has
a population of many millions.
To date the Chinese army Of a
million men has lacked adequate
military equipment. Our air
force there has been doing a
remarkable job. considering its
small size.
From China we could carry the
war into the heart Of Japan with
bombers. We could disrupt its
production and discomfort its
civilian population. We must
give sufficient aid TO China TO
drive the japanese invaders into
the sea. II is not safe to dizzy

Wickord's Boby

Delartment of labor economists
say that large increase in the
average cost of living since war
broke out is because of no price
conrtol over fresh vegetables and
fruits. Food Administrator Wick
ard should do something about it
and come 10 some agreement with
the office Of price administration.
Or. is il because OF fear of the
congressional farm bloc that Sec

Your landlord is wrong. He

but ne can't pass his Victory tax

AS the time for more rationing of food
products draws near there is more and
more talk of ''black market" that will
operate to Illustrate the plans of the gov
eminent for an equitable distribution of
the necessities. If black market does
develop it viii be because there are enough
cheats and enough poor sports to make it
profitable.
That is what happened to create a
"black market" in the prohibition era.
