On Guada|(and|

WASHINGTON. Feb. s tUP).-
American troops have trapped the
remaining japanese forces on Qua
dalcanal Island in a V-shaped
rocket after a difficult thanking
movement through dense jungles
and mountains.
The navy revealed yesterday
that the Americans had estab-
lished a strong position at Tit,
one-half mile west of Marovovo
and five miles west of Cape Esper-
ance on the northwest tip OF
Guadalcanal.
The communique did not reveal
how the Americans got TO Tit,
which is 25 air miles from Hender-
son Field, but a naval spokesman
said he believed that they had cut
their way through the jungles and
over mountains, some of which rise
as high as 5000 feet. In that case
their march probably was 40 or so
miles.

Criticizes Slight
To Chunqking
By DAVID CAMELoN

JAPAN MAJ seize upon lht
failure 10 invite Chang Ksi-
Shek 70 the Casablanca con-
ference 10 suggest peace to-
China. the authoritative Army
and Navy Journal has warned.
The publication. "spokes-
man Of the services since
1858" which often reflects
the army's unofficial position
on international matters, took
a critical view of the failure TO
include China's generalissimo
in the historic conference be-
tween President Roosevelt and
Prime Minister Churchill.
while officially, Chinese
authorities have expressed
great hopes of operations to
flow from the CaSablanca con-
terence. and hailed the assist
ance promised them there,
there il some criticism Of the
failure TO extend an invitation
10 Chang Kai-Shek To meet
the President and Churchill"
il said.
THE failure is pointed TO a.
another indication of the sub
ordination of China in the
plans Of the United States and
Britain and there Is fear Of
the effect upon the fortunes
of Chang kai-Shek, who has
different political elements
and ambitious men to contend
with. and whom he controls
largely through evidence of
the closeness of his relations
with the United States"
EAT SIGNIFICANCE
was attached TO the comment
in Washington, since it is
chiefly through the Army and
Navy Journal that army
circles are enabled to make
public their reaction TO the
political moves of the govern
ment.
The Army and Navy Jour
nal continued:
ut Is emphasized that
Chungking Is not at war with
Germany, and this did not
justify its participation in the
conference.
Probably Japanese prOpa-
ganda will stress the treat
ment that Chang Kai-Shek
has received, and possibly may
seize the opportunity to sug-
gest peace"
THE JOURNAL raises, as
well. the question of why
Stain refused TO partake in
the conferences, and the
article continues:
ut would seem TO be enough
that he could not leave Mos
cow while his drive against the
invaders was In progress.
However, the inference il
that he preferred to retain his
military and political indie
pendence. Certainly, as a
practical statesman, II the Red
armies drive the Germans
from Russia, he will want
compensation for the terrible
sacrifices his country has
made, and, perhaps, he did not
propose 10 be forced to make
embarrassing evasiOns In con.
nection with the Baltic states
and Rumania, which would
have aroused American and
British suspicion.
Further. his constant effort
has been to avoid war Will
Japan, and he knew that il
he participated in a Cairo
conference, that nation would
have believed him to he

Military Rule
When Italy Falls
America Won't Deal
With Ousted Ciano or
Any Other Fascists

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3 (INS).
The United States is making
plans to establish a military gov
ernment in Italy when that coun-
try has been knocked out of the
war.
These plans are being made in
accord with the decision of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Prime Min
lister Churchill to accept nothing
less than unconditional surrender
of the major Axis powers.
1t was in line with these plans
that the state department Satur-
day served notice that the Amer
Iican government had no intention
OF dealing with Count Galeazzo
Ciano or any of the other Fascists
who were ousted from the Italian
government, apparently because
they were suspected of seeking q
separate peace with the Allies.

DOES Detroit face economic disaster Immediately
IL after the war?
Will high taxes and a general decentralization OF
private business force a recurrence OF the previous
cycles Of depressions?
No one knows definitely But at least one large
corporation has charts and figures that look encour-
aging.
According to the data this organization recently
compiled in survey the backlog of orders will total
roughly 100000 cars.

the war the company estimates that 1945 approximately
30 600 900 cars would have been on the road
Accounting for usual depreciation, however only about
600 600 will left and nearly half of these will be more

NOT DECEIVED

In an unusual move. the state
department, through an official
spokesman, said the American
government is not deceived by
Ciano's removal as Italian foreign
minister.
The spokesman further warned
that the United States intends TO
smash the entire Fascist regime
in Italy. whether its officials are
in or out of office.
The occupational program for
Italy is being drafted chiefly by
the state and war departments
in cooperation with other gov.
eminent agencies. The political
policy TO be pursued in Italy wher
that country has been occupied by
the Allied armies is being for
mulated in the state department

mand in Italy.

HISTORIANS will find strange
paradox in German military prep
arations. Hitler, who conceived
war on wheels and in the air,
failed to lay the foundation for
such a war, a strong rail system.
If Germany collapses rather than
retreats inch by inch. it will prob
ably be due in no small degree to
the crumbling of her railroads. AS
the magazine New Republic rel
Gently observed: after four years
of war, the German transport sys-
tein-already so heavily taxed
must soon pass it's first decisive
test. This test will come with in
vasion, when other fronts on the
European continent are added to
the eastern front. Will Germany's
transport system be able to cope
with these gigantic new tasks?"
The world is anxiously awaiting
the answer to that question. Mil
lions of lives hang in the balance.
A quick Nazi collapse or months of
stubborn struggle may be decided
Milford chronicle., 1943-06-25
by the strength of German rail-

by the strength of German rail-
roads.
If the German railroads are so
vital, what of our own railroads
The world doesn't have to wait for
an answer. Our railroads are
strong because private railroad
management spent billions of dol
lars making them strong long be-
fore Hitler had built his first
plane. Private management spent
those billions at time when a
good many people thought the
railroads were an "outmoded"
means of transportation. It's faith
in railroads has long since been
justified. The nation has recog-
nized the job the rails are doing
and appreciates the efficiency with
which they are doing it.
With the lesson of Germany be-
fore us, every effort should be made
to meet the requirements of our
railroads for necessary equip
ment. Locomotives are as impor-
tant as guns.

ADVOCATES of government de-
ficits without limit should now
take good look at their theories
in action. The only limit on de-
ficits is the speed with which bor-
rowed money can be spent.
There is no use kidding our
selves. The country has been rock
ed back, back on its heels, and it
cannot all be blamed on the fact
that most of productive effort is
being shot away in the war. Sky
rocketing public debt has wrecked
normal laws of supply and de-
mand and savings. The prospect of
state socialism has been immeas-
urably increased as a result of
the debt. Wasteful spenders have
had their day.
And the people themselves are
largely to blame-their hands were
out for money taxed from the
other fellow"
Taxation must be as balanced as
crop rotation is to soil fertility. if
savings and wealth are preserved
for a continuous tax crop. Win
ming the war and the peace de-
pends on both. Fumbling either
or taxation means hun
ger and suffering, or worse.
