las he said at the time He left to become the first
American general to take command OF an Allied
force and an Allied zone of operations For a year
now General Macarthur has stood as something more
than gallant and romantic soldier of the type that
appeals most to the American Imagination. He has
stood as a symbol of the common effort and the kind
of united command, later represented by General
Eisenhower's supreme authority in North Africa,
which is developing in practice to fit the complex
pattern of many -fronted war.
comparison of the position in the Pacific today
with the position year ago is the best measure OF
the achievement of General Macarthur with forces
and equipment that admittedly as yet sadly
inadequate to the vast operations ahead of us in
that area He is still long way from the Philip
pines, where his heart and his hopes beckon. Vic
tory over the Japanese is far off This victory can
not be won by holding strategy but only by at
tacks immense scale.
But if the enemy has not been rolled back, he
has been stopped from going farther. Despite in
sufficient force and material Australia, marked
for invasion, has been turned into fortified Allied
base for the decisive battles to come In the Coral
Sea and in the Solomons the japanese have been
baked in their plan to cut the American line OF

Macarthur has driven the enemy from entrenched
positions on land and has waged an extraordinarily
fruitful campaign of destruction against enemy ship
ping. The battle of the Bismarck Sea is the most
spectacular example of his methods the invention
not of necessity alone but of new and bold con-
cepts of warfare. The time is coming when General
Macarthur will have the means to carry out the
plans he has developed. Meantime, the score he has

that will attend when at last we attack in

Can't Eat Home Rule
philadelphia Record


President Roosevelt has called upon Congress for
legislation to permit Puerto Ricans to elect their
own Governor
Americans will applaud this move toward home
rule in our long-neglected insular possession and
the Puerto Ricans will probably do bit of cheering,
too
They know that President Roosevelt has shown
their island degree of sympathetic understanding
it never achieved before in all the As years it has
been under the American flag
But if Puerto Rcan cheers not very loud
perhaps will understand why. They probably feel
much as the Chinese felt when Britain and the Unit
ed States renoufced extraterritoral rights to terri
tory in Jap possession: welcome gesture-but not
an answer to their most immediate need
Chinas most immediate need is not for treaty
but for planes and weapons. Puerto Ricos imlnedi-
ate need for food The argument the present
Governor Rexford Guy Tugwell, has little to do with
the food question If the Governor Puerto
Rican now hungry Puerto Ricans still would be ask
ing: when do eat?"
1t is estimated that Puerto Rico needs to import
minimum of $500 tons of food month to avert
starvation The submarine blockade and other pres
sures of the have cut the tonnage reaching
Puerto Rico to 5000 tons month
No American Puerto Rican has given the
answer. But somebody must find it, We can't let
Puerto Rico starve.

Mr.. Evans draft status entered
the much-publicized case when the

OF his job as states attorney. The
board, it was said had taken it for

The libel action was brought after

Milk Shortage Report
Leads 10 Discussion
OF Rationing System

Agriculture Department reports OF
declining milk production today re-
vised speculation over the prob
ability of rationing this commodity
despite War Food Administration
plans for a more equitable distrl-
button through delivery and sales
quotas.
The departments Federal Crou
Reporting Board estimated yeSter-
day that September milk production
dropped 2.5 per cent below the COR
responding month a year ago, and
that output per COW on October
was the lowest for that date since
1899.
Senator Mcclellan, Democrat. of
Arkansas. meanwhile, reported that
Price Administrator Brown has
turned down "a final appeal" for a
retail price increase in milk Mr..
Brown wrote Senator Mcclellan
that 1T is impossible for this Office
to permit general price increases to
maintain production in view of the
Presidents hold-the line order"
Senator Mcclellan, co-author of a
bill which would authorize the OPA
to order a retail price increase for
milk amounting to approximately l
cent quart. charged in a letter to
Mr.. Brown that "inaction and inde-
ciSiOn have resulted in extreme
distress to farmers and milk pro-
ducers and have produced sharp
curtailment in production"
The quota system, which VIA
officials admit will be followed by
rationing if it does not keep con-
sumption in line with production
already has been placed in operation
in 80 metropolitan areas, including
Washington, and will be extended
to the rest of the country in time.
VIA also has moved to compen-
safe dairymen in some sections OF
the country for higher production
costs by subsidizing part of their
feed bills. Yesterdays crop report
however, made it clear that the sup
ply of corn-While the second largest
on record-and other feed grains will
not be sufficient to maintain the
present rate of livestock feeding.
The report stated, October reports
on stocks of corn and oats on farms
show that during the last three
months grain supplies have beer
used at rate that cannot be con-
tinued from supplies in sight"

German engineers sent from the
fatherland.
The British press today is playing
up the midget submarine story as
the biggest of the day. Little is
known about the details of their
operation pending more intelligence
about the fate Of the three midgets
which failed to return.
But it is of deep significance that
the Royal Navy, alone of all naval
forces In this war, has been sue
cessful in developing an undersized
submarine. The Japs failed at Pearl
Harbor with their two-man midgets
and thev failed at Diego Suarez and
at Sydney.
The Russians are known to have
developed midget submarine but
nothing has been heard of what
they have done. The Italians also
used a small sub in the Mediter-
,anean but without success.

Tnpitz Reported Put Out
OF Action for ; Months
By Gable to The Star and Chicago Da

BY Gable TO The Star and Chicago Daily
LONDON, Oct 12.-The attack on
the Tirpitz by British midget sub
marines probably has put the great
German battleship out of commits
sion for three months. possibly more.
Norwegian underground sources de-
clared today
The Tirpitz suffered torpedo dam
age greater than from the blow
which Russian subs inflicted last
November when they caught her
outside Trondheim, they said.
The Norwegians think that the
Germans, realizing the Tirpitz is
hopelessly trapped in Alien Fjord
now that the Anglo-American fleets
are active of Norway, will attempt
to do what they did after the Rus
sian attack.
Then they eased her into anchor
age near Trondheim and used the
one time Norwegian American Line
vessel Stavangerfjord as repair ship.
Trondheim, like Alien Fjord, has no
slips suitable for extensive battle
ship repairs.

said solemnly, referring to the 500
year-old alliance between Britain
and Portugal:
Il have an announcement to make
to the House arising out of the
treaty signed between this country
and Portugal in the year 1878"
At the conclusion of his statement
Comdr Sir Archibald Southby
promptly asked whether Portugal's
example would be called to the at
tention of Fire, which, although still
regarded as member of the British
Commonwealth, consistently has re-
fused naval and air bases to Britain.
Full Accord Pointed Out.
Mr., Churchill disclosed that the
Portuguese neutrality was adopted
at the beginning of the war with
the full agreement" of the British
government with a view to prevent
ing the war from spreading into the
Iberian Peninsula"
The Prime Minister added that
"the Portuguege government, how
N'>Ab AASHASAioAJ Illdl
the above policy in no way was in
consistent with the Anglo Portu-
guese alliance" and on the basis
of this alliance, Britain requested
facilities in the Azores.
Arrangements for these facilities
center into force Immediately" he
said, in return for which Britain
will give assistance in furnishing
essential material for the Portuguese
armed forces and for maintenance
of Portugal's national economy"
The latter provision of the agree
ment obviously is intended to aid
Portugal in remedying her wartime
food and supply situation, which re-
Gently has caused public demonstra-
tions for more food in Lisbon and
other cities and resulted in drastic
reorganization of Portuguese ration
ing.
Coal Already Sent Portugal.
Implementation of the British
promises presumably already has be-
gum because one of the biggest con-
voys of coal ships to sail up the
Tagus since the start of the war was
recently unloaded at Lisbon, conti-
mental reports said.
Nothing in the agreement, Mr..
Churchill declared, affects the con-
tlnued desire OF the Portuguese gov
ernment to continue their
policy of neutrality on the European
mainland and thus maintain zone
OF peace in the Iberian Peninsula.
Recent dispatches from Madrid
have suggested that Spain, united
with Portugal in an Iberian bloc,
would accord fully with this desire
OF the Portuguese government, and
the two nations would stand to-
gether for peace unless attacked.
The House roundly cheered the
Portuguese action.
The British Portuguese alliance
obligates Britain to protect Portugal
and her colonies, which include the
Azores and Cape Verde Islands in
the Atlantic.
Portugal and Spain also have a
mutual defense pact Each is OBJ
ligated to come to the aid of the
other If any third power declares
war on it.
A hint that Germany is worried
about the Azores came today from
the Berlin radio. A DNB broadcast
said:
"Rumors and reports spread from
British and American sources about
the appearance of Anglo-American
naval units of the Azores and about
alleged ceding of Portuguese naval
bases to the Anglo-Americans are
bound to bring the Azores into par
ticular strategical limelight."
A conference last week between
