that Quentin has to say at times In

has to says he says forthrightly

first class reporter. and fearless
correspondent, but damned gooc
writer to boot.
Quentin Reynolds Is a man who
loves life. Because he loves life Sc
much he lives life always to the

Waterburian ExceIs in
Taft School Comedy,
"Charley's Aunt"

WATERFOWL, March 6-The Mas
que and Dagger society of the Taft
School presented Brandon Thomas
ever popular "Charleys Aunt" here
tonight in the Bingham Auditorium
before large audience.
Robert MerEle, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Francis J. Merkle Of Middle
bury Conn, did a creditable piece Of
acting in portraying the role Of Lord
Fancourt Babberley. His sense Of
timing and comedy plus his COM
plete projection into the part made
him natural for the part.
The relatively minor role of Bras
sert was rendered almost a major
one by the fine acting of Arthur
Bliss, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur P.
Bliss of Randolph avenue, Water
bury. His sympathetic and almost
intuitive Identification with the
faithful college scout enabled him
to portray the qualities Brandon
Thomas wished to display.
The entire production was under
the direction Of Mr.. Robert T. Ohm
stead, member of the Taft School
Faculty for the past ten years. and
this marked his 18th production for
Taft audiences.

Too Late, Or Too Early

Rumania and Bulgaria would like to get out
of the war. They are making inquiries of the
Allies concerning the terms on which they
might do so. The only answer that can be
given them is that at Casablance it was de-
cided nothing less than unconditional surrend-
er would be acceptable. Rumana, Bulgaria
and all other Axis satellites as well as Ger
many may have peace only at this price.
1t may be said that their inquiries are either
too late or too early. They are too late by
reason of the fact that they joined up with
Hitler when it appeared he might be success
full and cannot now hope to escape his ven
geance if they quit his side. Their territory
in overlooking with Nazi agents who would be
quick to seize their last resource and probably
commit mass murders if only to satisfy their
blood lust if they backed out. They are too
early because at this stage of the war the
Allies are chiefly concerned with knocking
Hitler out and neither Rumania nor Bulgaria
are in position to implement that undertaking.
It would appear that the most effective way
the conquered peoples of Europe and Hitler's
dissatisfied allies can get their freedom from
Nazi oppression is to abide their time and re-
volt when the great invasion starts

Japanese to quit any more then Berlin III
flames has brought the surrender of Germany
Japan's industry has already been largely de-
centralized, and the destruction of Tokyo
Osaka and Nogoya will not halt the nation
war production.
Whether the man from Chungking" is cor
rect in his estimate of the time required to
knock Japan out or not he probably is cor
rect in declaring that air attack alone cannot
do it. AS in Europe, victory can be achieved
by land attack only. Japan has been forced
to relinouished much of the territory she seized
in the early days of her war. Her shipping
and naval losses have been tremendous. Her
air force has been seriously crippled. Her
Army has suffered heavy losses. But at best,
as Mr.. Soong points out, this has not touched
Japan's main force which must be met and
conquered, probably in China, before the ulti-
mate victory can come.

Three Years More

Norman Soong, Hawaiian born but known
as a man from Chungking," who has been
with American fighting forces in Sicily and
Italy as an accredited correspondent and more
recently with our troops in the central, south
and southwest Pacific, believes that it will
require three years to force the Japanese to
surrender, and that China will be the major
battle-ground rather than Japan.
He is in this country for view-gathering
visit, and recently snapped opinions with San
Francisco newspaper men at a Chinatown
dinner. In substance, he declared that Admiral
Ninitz can proceed straight to the shores OF
China and that the Chinese Army and General
stilwells United States Army can meet him
there with an already established beachhead.
He believes that Japan cannot be forced to
surrender by bombing alone, even from the
comparatively close range OF the Chinese
mainland, but must grapple with the Japanese
forces. only small percentage of which has
as vet been encountered by Allied troops.
Tokyo in flsmes, he said, will not force the
