District S Quota in
4th War Loan
Drive is Raised
Campaign dedicated to
men and women in
the armed service %@

While the state and national
quotas on the Fourth War Loan
bond drive have been somewhat
lowered, the total assigned to
Kennewick and Benton county has
been upped about eighty per cent,
according to information received
this week from Carl Howard,
chairman of the Benton county
campaign. This increase, Howard
explained, was because of the
nearby project, where the collec-
tons will be counted toward the
county total. ...7,ra..
While the project has been al
lotted more than half the 100000
total for the county, the Kenne-
wick proper totals have been
upped from $l50,000 to 100000
and the Prosser district CORES
ponding increase. This means
that there will be required an
extra amount Of effort expended
in both areas, Mr.. Howard ex-
planned and he was here to give
the local chairman, Mayor A. c.
Anon a little pep talk in getting
the campaign into high gear.
So far the sales have been below
the Third drive in the first week
Mr.. Anon reports, but the first
days sales were satisfyingly
large. Since the opening day, how
ever, the sales have dropped and
decided increase will be needed
to secure the areas quota.
| The drive in this state has been
dedicated to the service men and
1 women of the state and in some
communities local heroes are being
named. They are to be notified as
to the progress the community is
making in their bond purchases.
i Local business houses and in
dividuals are buying advertising
space in this medium to urge

Dead End Roads
Ii Garden TRACTS
TO Be Opened
Mayor makes deal
for new road west
of city limits

At long last the dead end streets
in the Garden Tracts are to be
opened. After some thirty or
forty years of backtracking in
that section, a new cross street
is to be put in by the city and
county and an exit opened to the
west end of the avenues in that
area.
Tried several times in the past,
city administrations failed to Sc
cure right of way for the street on
the west city limits, because of
the highly productive land that
would be required, pipe lines to
be moved, etc. Recently Mayor
Anon was presented with the
problem and Tuesday night came
through with a solution, practic-
ally worked out.
His plan was to buy the required
land just outside the city limits,
from the Giard property. This
would not necessitate taking out
rows of cherry trees, would not
bother the existing irrigation sys-
TENS and still would provide the
badly needed street outlets.
= Further, the mayor, dickered
with the county which has agreed
to share the expense and main
tain the roads after they have
hoon ropcfr,,cfad
It is hoped to have the deal
completed in time so that the
road can be constructed as soon
as the weather permits. the
new road will run north only as
far as Avenue II, however, and
not to the state highway as was
originally planned. Avenue H,
running little further west, does
have an outlet into the highway,
which will serve the same pur-
pose.
The new road is needed more
now, since the greatly increased
traffic toward Richland has set
in, than ever before.

Scouts 10 Have
Another Paper
Drive Saturday
Have nearly enough
to make carload
shipment

Kennewick's paper salvage CAM
paign is coming along in pretty
good shape, according to a report
made today by Frank Mason,
chairman of the committee in
charge. MIR. Mason has enlisted
the aid of the Boy Scouts, who
are making the collections and
sorting the papers for shipment.
There will be another collec-
ton on Saturday of this week,
and MIR. Mason warns that the
papers must be visible from the
street or the boys are quite apt
to miss them. Several big lots
have been promised them and it
is hoped that the carload will be
ready for shipment within the
next week. One of the biggest
lots of papers yet gathered was
from the w. F.. Sonderman place
on the Highlands. MIR. Sender
man had accumulated nineteen
hundred pounds.
Magazines should be bundled
separately from the newspapers
which should also be tied up OF
left in cartons for easy handling
People living outside the city who
wish to contribute to the drive
should bring their bundles to the
assembling room just back Of
Frank Lyons carpenter shop, back
of the Washington Hardware. The
door of the collection room has
a big sign painted on it and cam

By PAUL MALLoN

Currently expressed suspicious
that Stain is getting ready to
make a separate peace created
almost deliberately by his aggres-
siye. realistic, self-interested dip
1omacy-will find no substantial
tion in the concrete military situa-
tion on the Russian front.
= The German lines have not been
pken. Indeed, fairly strong
Tazi counterattack was launched
at the focal point of fighting (the
Vinnitsa and Shitimir sectors along
theWarsaw-O Odessa railroad).
The Nazis have been moving
men from the vast trap Of the en-
dangered salient, running east to
Krivoi-Rog.
The Russians are pushing the
fighting in two sectors poland
and in the north much harder
than has been revealed in their
communicates. Yet the main COM
ing battle certainly will be in the
Vinnitsa area.
So If peace is at hand, it is not
yet apparent on the battlefield.
Internally, German transportation
may have broken down more than
is evident, bat there is nothing
apparent here in that situation,
beyond the obvious overall fact
that the Nazi cause as whole is
lost, and has been for months.
You will have to look elsewhere
for the background Of these diplo-
matically planted peace reports,
and it no doubt lies on the field Of
diplomacy. The administration
has blown up great gobs of re-
sentful smoke, charging some peo-
pie in this country with promoting
suspicion Of Russia, but Russia
obviously Is bent on promoting
suspicion. Of herself-and delib-
tely.
Stain went home from the
worldwide benevolence atmos-
phere Of Teheran, sfgned sa selfs
alone treaty with Czechoslovalxia,
attacked the worldwide Mr.. Will
kie, proclaimed his own Polish pol.
icy, then accused Britain of sneak
ing around seeking separate
peace.
To me, all this means final un-
answerable proof of what ! have
been reporting all along in the
face of strong continuous criticism
namely Russia has a realistic
self-interested foreign policy anc
propaganda line. We have not.
Our policy and line in the pub.
lie speeches of our leaders is that
we must love Russia, that anyone
who does not love Russia is a MAJ
or Fascist. Our leadership has
not taught us to know Russia 70,
what she really is, to understand
her realistically-which is our only
real chance of getting along with
her peacefully.
First thing we should know j:
she never necessarily means wha'
she says. Her working basis is t.
do or say mystifying things to ge
you to guess what she is up to
to smoke you out.

The picture, Of course, would change
quickly II the Russian troops reached

to say, If they entered Bessarabia. The
closer approach to Rumania would
bring forth an immediate reaction in
all these countries. In such event no

All Of this forms a part of the whole
pattern of Pacific strategy. At Kwaja-
lehn. for example, we cut off-and
doomed-the japanese garrisons in the
Eastern Marshalls (Jaluit, Wolfe, Mill,
Maloelap). BY jumping to Eniwetok,
we intervened between Wake and Po-
nape, and brought Truk within our
reach.
If we now attack and capture Ponape,
we cut of both Kusaie and Nauru. II
we strike northward from Kwajalein
and Eniwetok to recapture Wake (of
gallant memory, we intercept any jap
aneSe thrust out Of Japan by way Of
the Marcus Islands, and provide our
selves with valuable staging base in a
direct approach of our own-Midway to
Wake to Eniwetok.
Any or all these moves are within
the possibilities of the immediate future,
and that fact is itself the most eloquent
Of evidence that the japanese are no
longer masters Of the so-called "man-
dated island" area Of the Pacific. In
stead, the United States Pacific Fleet
Is the master.
And whatever we now may do In
the way Of knocking out this Japanese
outpost or that, 1t is obvious that we
shall take only those islands which are
necessary to our operations, leaving the
japanese garrisons on the others to
surrender or to perish miserably OF
hunger or by suicide. AL this mopping-
up procedure is just preliminary to
something much more advantageous to
us and much more dangerous to Japan.
Presuming that we have accomplished
all that has been mentioned above,
