none, should be motto We should haze
perfect horror at everything like connecting our.
selves Nth the politics of Europe"
In that pronouncement Jefferson saw the
greatest danger that this country would run.
That danger was in giving up our national
independence and again becoming part of Eu-
rope, from which we had broken away after the
unspeakabe agones of body and mind of six long
years of revolution.
Yes, John Adams, Jefferson survives! IA
And he does NOT survive in marble memoir
ials or at $50-a-plate dinners of politicians.
He survives where all things American can
alone survive-in the BLOOD and BRAIN and
ACTION of those who are resolved to keep our
country free of alien domination, alien minded
isms-and executive dictatorship.

Military Genius Needed

TITS a mystery why the great mill,
tary talents and genius of Gen.
Macarthur have not been utilized to
a greater extent and greater advan-
tage in this war.
Wherever they have been utilized,
even under handicaps of inferior
armament and inadequate forces, he
has conducted highly successful mill
tary operations.
Gen. Macarthur saved Australia
and New Zealand.
BE made safe the vital American
supply lines and life lines to the
southwest Pacific.
he won back the Solomon Islands.
He conducted the brilliant cam
paign that is winning back New
Guinea and New Ireland.
he directed the spectacular am
phibious invasion of New Britain
which, unlike that at Tarawa, was
accomplished with minimum loss.
He conquered the Admiralties.
NEITHER the suicide defense of
the entrenched japanese nor the
almost insurmountable difficulties of
the jungle terrain nor the inadequate
and reluctant support of his govern
ment have detected or discouraged
him.
1t is to his greater glory but to
the shame of our government that in
all of these vital and magnificent and
successful military operations, com.
bining land, sea and air forces, Gen.
Macarthur was at continuous and
grievous disadvantage in numbers of
men and quantities of equipment.
His sole advantage was in his own
military genius.
The military genius of Gen. Mac
Arthur has been the salvation of the
Allied cause in the southwest Pacific.
Since it is military genius that is
so soreIy needed in India and in all
the Pacific operations, tDhy is not the
available and acknowledged military
genius of Gen. Macarthur more
WideIy utilized?

The only requisite for the attain

It is the same leadership that

sive could not approach Singapore

1t is the same leadership that
Rommel drove across North Africa

the Suez Canal.
1t is the leadership that in the
present crisis supinely supposed that
a Japanese offensive from Burma
could not get through the mountains
and jungles to Imphal and Kohima.
WHY is such consistently unsuc-

authority?
Clearly, Gen. Macarthur could
save the situation.
Possibly ONLY Gen. Macarthur
can save it.
But the time is as short as the
opportunity is apparent.
Why wait until India is lost and
China is lost and possibly the whole
Pacific war is lost"
Gen. Macarthur can DO the job.
Why not GIVE him the job while
there is still time to do it, time to
turn back the japanese threat in
India, time to set the stage for
VICTORY?

jefferson Lives!
BY BENJAMIN DeCASSERES

BY BENJAMIN DeCASSERES
THIS is the 201st anniversary of the birth of
Thomas Jefferson, the founder and expounder
of American democracy. ---
Thomas Jefferson surpiUes! were the last
words of John Adams, who died on the same day
Thomas jefferson died. July A, 1926, the 50th an
niversary of the proclamation of the Declaration of
Independence.
Thomas jefferson survives today in the hearts
of ALL real Americans
Never more than in this year 1914 was this
man alive and needfu
jefferson was the great American, and from
his tomb in Virginia his spirit rises again to repeat
to us his own passionate reaffirmation of his love
of his United States
"The first object of my heart is my orDn coun-
try. In that is embarked my family, my fortune
and my existence. haze not farthng of
interest nor one fiber of attachment outside of it
single motive of preference of any
ton to another but in proportion they more
or less friendly to us"
Let that be engraved today and forever on the
hearts of all those Americans who would interna-
tionaize us.
And let those among us who have plans for
regimentng the people consider Jefersons oath:
81 haUe sWorn upon the altar of God eternal
hostility against eUery form of tyranny oOer the
mind of man."
rs THOMAS JEFFERSON not of this day and
hour when he said:
81 am for preserving to the states the potOers
not yielded by then, to the Union and to the Legis-
lature of the Union its constitutional share in the
division of pouDers; and / am NOT for transfer.
ring all of the poUers of the states to the general
government and all those of that government to
the executive branch"
The timelessness-and also the timeliness-of
all Jefferson's words are apparent today in this,
written to George Washington in 1888:
Re eligibility makes him the Presidentt
officer for life the natural progress of things
is for liberty to yield and government to gain
ground"
Did not his ciairvoyant brain see in that the
dangers that threaten us today in an alleged in
dispensable man?
Again the shade of this great man advances to
the portco of his Monticello mansion and he says
to his passionately beloved America of 1914:
81 haze euer termed it fundamental for the
United States to take active part in the
quarrels of Europe. Their political interests are
entirely different from Their mutual jealous
les, their balance of potOer, their complicated al
liances their forms and principles of government
are all foreign to They nations of eternal
UarP
THERE are those today who would in the inter-
est of their alien minded systems shackle the
press.
No man who ever lived among us saw with
clearer eye the necessary and indissoluble bond
that must exist between free press and free
people.
He says to us on this subject on this April
49, 1914:
"The basis of our governments being the
opinion of the people, THE VERY FIRST OBJ
JECT should be to keep that right; and Oere it left
to me whether ve should haze government Nth
out newspapers newspapers Without govern
n1enf should not hesitate q moment to prefer the

THE ROBOT BOMBERS
(San Diego Union)

If Hitler's ace in the hole in the Battle
of Europe is his lately utilized robot
plane. he must by this time be ke2nly
disappointed at the results of his master
play The bomb rockets unquestionably
have caused heavy loss of property in
England and perhaps a considerable loss
of life; German brags may be discounted,
and British officialdom has made no def
mite reports on the effect of the raids.
The radio bomb is roughly described
as a sort of glorified skyrocket. 1t is fired
at low levels, attains terrific speed and
'axplodes on impact. The appearance of
these Internal machines in the sky at
night is said to be suggestive of the
Wellses. II. G.. and Orson As they can
not be accurately directed against mill
tary OBJ iectiveS, their use is indiscriminate
and so far has been more destructive to
homes and buildings than to war indus
tries or military centers. A primary weak
ness of the robot bomb is that it has been
totally useless so far as interrupting AL
lied transport and naval concentrations
supplying the invasion front is concern
ed. 1t has no practical defense value
and cannot be used in combat because
of the danger of hitting the Nazis' own
forces
AS a threat to British morale, Hitler
has guessed wrong again in his resort
to the robot weapon. All reports agree
that the British people not only refuse
TO be terrorized. but that the new prod
uct Of Nazi devilishness is strengthening
their determination to eliminate Nazidom
from the earth.
From the practical standpoint of min
imizing the effect of the rocket device,
Allied ingenuity is already working out
counter measures which sooner or later
are certain to prove effective TIE robot
plane will be brought under control, just
as the submarine has been. For military
results. the layman would rather have
one B-29 superfortress than a hundred of
Hitier's new robot bombs.

HERE'S A DARE,
|MR. NEW DEALER

Directives continue to roll from the
new deal bureaus, millions of words of
them. And the more they come, the less
understandable any of them are to the
average person, or anyone above the aver
hge in intelligence. Not even the bureau
heads who issue them can give an intel
Iligible interpretation. And it pains these
.bureaucrats that there are those who
would criticise and that their outbursts
have become the great national stand
ling joke. An example of the density of
Ia bureau chief came to notice recently
|when OPA Director Bowles got himself
Jail tangled up on points and no points.
Congressman John Phillips occasion
Tally takes a peek at the Federal register
to see what new adventure into the realm
|of wordage a bureau has taken. He cites
the fact that directives on foods alone
fill Is volumes and contain 15.690.0OO
words One Of these telling bakers how
to bake fruitcake used four full pages
of fine print. Asked to simplify the di-
receive, OPA came back with this: AL
commodities listed in Appendix A (orig-
naD are those known to the trade as
such excepting therefore such thereof, if
any, while subject to another regula-
ton
The dare? We dare the new deal to
devote share of its fourth term cam
paign funds to mail d copy of any one
of the average directives to each and
every hitherto new deal voter with the
added information that the recipient
must read it as qualification to sup
port continuation of the same. We don't
even stipulate that the voter be required
