HEAVY HANDICAP
"Out there we are literally

TOKYO UNFRAMED
Patterson emphasized tn A
although the army and navy mac
done a great Job so far the fact
remains that Tokyo sits al the tor
of a great sweep of territory
unchanged, busy al war produc
ton, and thus far, fairly safe.
Japan, like Germany" he
continued. has many con-
auered countries to call upon
for essential materials and sup
plies. Japan now spreads across
Asia like a big, dirty hand; she
has appropriated natural re-
sources OF vast value.
I'VE have wrested posses
sions of the Aleutians from her,
and we have pounded the Japa-
nese troops In New Guinea and

Hypocrites Rejoice at Duce's Fall

THE first Fascist has fallen
= and among those who will
rejoice loudest in our country
are some who glibly hurl the
name at others but who, them
selves. have been fighting for
some of the elements OF fascism
here.
They offer them in the guise
of reforms as Mussolini did to

fused and soul-sick Italian

Although Mr.. Wallace sincerely
believes that he yields TO no
man in. his detestation of fas-
cism and they include. without
exception. those radicals in
Washington and elsewhere in
President Roosevelt's following,
who see possibilities in commu-
nism.
The exploitation OF public Of
flee for profit is inherent in
practical fascism although it is
foresworn in the book of Mus
solini. His organization was A
gang, not a party, and those
who acquired power. from the
duce himself down 10 his littlest
heeler in village. took their
privileges and spoils from the
rest of the people.
WE HAVE had a parallel here
w in the years since 1882.
Here, AS in Italy during the
bum's brief and easy conquest
Of his people, we saw mobS
operating under special permis-
sion from the national govern
ment trampling down local and
state law and government and
terrorizing the people so that
the Presidents followers could
consolidate their position.
This Is not a mere assertion,
II is a historic fact, provable
out OF the record Of the times
and worse yet, the. one man who
was most conspicuously docile in
the presence of these mobs. al
though repudiated by the people
at the polls, was elevated to the
Supreme Court.
1t surely will not be denied
that Mussolini packed the Ital-
ian courts with men who
thought as he did or that this
was one of the most evil steps
of his regime.
But who will undertake 10
deny that Mr.. Roosevelt tried
10 do the same in the United

way, finally achieved his pur-
pose otherwise in the Supreme
Court'

sick and tired of the way these
big corporation newspapers are
knocking the foremen.
If you would print the truth
or find out the facts about these
high priced foremen you would
be surprised to find out who
they are.
They are all eX-bankers or
some brother-in law of one of
the executives in the company.
They were in business for
themselves before the war
started, but can come in the

partment for Ford Motor Com
pany for 10 years and foreman
for two years. We built %
million cars with the same sys-
tenn and with less than one
sixth the cost that we are now
using on aircraft stock.
Why should we have to bring
1000 men in on Sunday and
pay them double time to take
an inventory that is not worth
a damn to anybody.
The average pay for these
men is about $120 per hour
at double, that would sure be a
nice sum. That is just one of
the small costs that are going
on at one factory. Why?
Brother. if there was only
some way you fellows would
have CUTS enough TO print the
truth about Things. or at least

THE Allied invasion of Sicily has already
resulted in the capture of important cities
and maritime ports of the island.
A considerable part of the whole island
will be in Allied possession by the time this
article is read
Over a million people, natives of the island,
will be dependent shortly for their public
order and for public administration upon the
occupying forces.
The security of the invading troops like
wise requires the exercise of authority over
TIE parts of the island which they have
occupied.
Behind their fighting lines there must be
peaceful acceptance of their presence.
Cities and towns must be administered,
communication lines, the railways, roads, the
telegraph and telephone nets must be restored,
served and protected against use by the
enemy or his agents.
LIVERY considerable center of population is
IL dependent upon public services which
must be continued, courts, particularly local
courts must be established.
The laws of the country, where not incon-
sistent with the interests Of the invaders,
should be enforced.
AS rapidly as possible people must be
helped to return to their usual occupations,
to their farms and orchards to their shops
and local manufactures; even to their fishing
There will also be problem of relief and
assistance for those momentarily incapable of
providing for their own needs.
All of these things, obviously must be
done in such way as to make the popu-
lation feel safe in person and in property,
in their homes, their markets and their
churches.
The occupying armies are vitality concerned
in having all these things done. and done in
such a way that their own efforts to press on
the campaign are helped, not interfered with
and not impaired.
TO ONE who has lived through military
i situation of this kind it seems clear that
the temporary government should be military
in character.
1t must be subordinate in all respects to
the authority of the ranking commander. In
addition to his command and direction of the
fighting forces, he must be the military
governor.
The city of Manila was surrendered on
the thirteenth day OF Aug 1898 Before the
day had passed the commanding general of
the American army had assumed the duties
of military governor.
He appointed provost marshal general
with detachment of troops to assure the
good order of the city Of Manila
He published proclamation 10 the IN.
habitants commanding their obedience and
assuring them of protection. All branches of
administration were promptly taken over and
officers assigned to conduct them.
