Churchill Asks Definition
OF Individuals Riqhts

BY the Associated Press
LONDON, July 22.-Prime Min
lister Churchill told members of the
National Liberal Club today that
In days to come. and even at the
present time. much more exact def
nltions have to be established about
the rights Of the individual and the
relation of the individual to the
great framework of the state"
Mr.. Churchill attended the un-
yelling Of a portrait of himself
which was damaged in an air raid
two years ago and restored. He
expressed his gratitude for the COM
pliment Of seeing unveiled a por-
trait which has survived alike the
vicissitudes of politics and the vio-
lence OF the enemy"
There will be great tasks of re-
building to do" he said in discuss
ing the postwar period. None has
right to abstain except on grounds
OF intellectual or moral scruple from
the task OF rebuilding or to content
himself with a purely critical atti-
tude taking the form of throwing
brickbats at toiling workers"
The best way to root for victory
is to dig deep into that pocketbook

find people still on the streets, look

Mr.. Lands said most owners of

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN AUSTRALIA, Jan. 25-Gen. Doug las McArthur, Allied Commander of the Southwest Pacific, said today in his regular communique that his forces are being hard fought, but are winning the battle for Papua and a new form of campaign has been tested which points the way for the ultimate defeat of the enemy in the Pacific.
 This new method of warfare, Macarthur said, primarily involves continued, calculated application of airpower."
 Remarking particularly on the northeastern New Guinea fighting he said the Allied air arm was found effective and important not only as an offensive and a defensive weapon, but as an instrument of troop transport and supply and close coordination between the air and land units to permit swift, massive strokes" against the enemy to preclude the necessity for "dila- tory and costly island advance

 The Cuban Government, how ever, points out that it cannot sell its sugar unless it sells to us; and with our market gone, the island will be bankrupt. will face riots and revolution.
 The State Department is sympa- thetic to the Cuban viewpoint and has suggested that Cuba diversity its crops. planting peanuts which are badly needed here, plus fibre crops for making rope, no longer obtainable from the Philippines The State Department also, has offered loan to improve tn C ce..o.aI highway running h e length of the island.

The w ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON cMaior Robert S. Allen on active duty)

WASHINGTON. = Cordell Hull. who, as an ex-Congressman, de- tests lobbyists, especially sugar lobbyists, is waging a silent but po- tent feud against the big sugar interests of Cuba.
 Actually, Cuba itself has very little to do with 1t. It is the big Wall Street sugar companies dom mated by the Chase National Bank and the National City Bank which have aroused Secretary Hull's Ten nessee ire. He is out to break their strangle hold on our island neigh Dor.
 Behind the feud is the fact that last year Jesse Jones Defense Sup plies, Inc, purchased the entire Cuban sugar crop at very high price, and now we find ourselves with 100000 tons of sugar left in Cuba, plus 65,OOO,0O0 gallons of invert syrup, plus 70,000,000 gall Ions of blackstrap molasses.
 We needed the syrup and mol asses for making alcohol. Also we feared a sugar shortage. But we did not figure on the submarine and shipping crisis which now makes it almost impossible to move the above balance out of Cuba.
 None of this was Jesse Jones fault. except possibly the high price which gave the big sugar com panies and their New York bank CTS profit of $6o0o0,0Oo to ESQ., OO0, 900.

 The Americans have virtually wiped out an enemy island base 196 miles northwest of Guadal- canal by sea and air attack.
