Climatic conditions are favor

not any better than in Central

But we let the opportunities

quercd the Dutch possessions in
the South Pacific we found our
selves in the position OF having
thousands OF actual or potential
malaria cases on our hands and
a slender supply OF the means
to treat IL.
And IL takes from eight TO
ten years TO grow a tree fur
nishing a good grade Of quinine.
So the announcement that an
efficient quinine can be artifi-
cially synthesized in the labora-
tory comes as real news.

in the fight of the Japanese.
Observers report that the

DEAR BOSS:
A FEW impressions out Of the
"a rag bag of memory. ! shall
call them Things Ill Never
Forget:
l shall never forget one of my
first air raids, when one bomb
and then a n OF h r exploded
about 200 yards from me and l
crouched low. facing one of our
sergeants, who was hunched up
like an angry cat And sud
denly the stone wall beside us
Shivered and released a powdery
white substance and l thought
for one terrifying moment
that the sergeant had been hit
by shrapnel.
| shall never forget the Folke-
WulfS that combined the effects
Of thunder and lightning as
they strafed and bombed. and
how they had a habit OF coming
az noon. prompt as a factory
whistle. We'd seattle like sparks
of fire and huddle in our slit
trenches. curSing the Helnles
for their bad manners.
/ shall never forget the over
crowded air shelter, absolutely
black except for the white,
scared Italian faces that swayed
wildly every time the noise OF
bomb rolled through the
shelter. And the terrified pee-
pie outside pushing vainly.
pathetically. In an effort 10 get
in. And the Italian woman who
came 10 one OF our doctors two
days after a raid, lifted band
age from her small boys face.
and revealed that his nose had
been hanging by a slender
sheath OF skin ever since his
struggle with a rat in the air
shelter.
/ shall never forget the SOL
diers known as the flower Of
the Italian army"-nor the day
they left for the front. No flags
waved for them. Instead. an
air of tenseness and solemnity
filled the town. for every one
knew that the Germans regard
their ex-allieS with murderous
hatred and rarely take Italian
prisoners.
49, shall never forget the
crowds who gathered at fence
during mealtime and watched
us consume American bees
kweetS," so much beloved by
the Italians. Nor shall | forget
the woman who plnched her
baby in his fisbbyest part so
that he might wall and thereby
soften the hearts of those we'll
fed Americans.

It's first results were sensational.

OF its invincibility.
But in the last two years II

1t is now over-shadowed by the
certainty OF disaster.
But Japan still has her great
army, an army that In numbers
at least, actual or potential. may
not be inferior to the army Of
Germany.
It Is upon this army that
Japan must now rely for the
defense OF such outer posses
sions as can still be held. and
above all. for the complete
conquest of China.
This is the significance OF the
progress OF that army into
south China. II Is the signifi-
canoe of the loss Of the great
Chinese city of Changsha.

designated as B-29.
The possible radius OF effec-
tive action by this great new
airplane is not announced.
The initial flight by which its
appearance was heralded to the
world. was stated to be a round
trip of $500 miles.
From Saipan to Yokohama 10
not more than 1,500 miles.
Our great bombers may be
able to fly this distance and
| return.
But our initial base for these
great planes. built by the in
credible hand-labor of 100000
and even 400, 900 Chinese men
and women, Is in danger of
capture by the japanese army.
The japanese. who must be
supposed TO have their intelli-
gence officers and agents in all
parts of China, have known of
the construction OF this base
from the commencement of its
building.
Early in May their press
stated is was located $50 miles
closer to Japan than the city of
Running. where the old Burma
road begins. and 1000 miles
from the Bay Of Manila.

l shall never forget the Ital-
Ian priests, who seemed 10 have

their heads 10 burn for a week.
I shall not forget the mule
that was carrying two big
water cans to the boys at the
front and suddenly decided, half
way up a mountainside, that
he'd lie down and rest and
how his driver was forced to
carry one of the cans before he
could persuade the mule to
continue the journey.
Nor shall I forget the de-
scription of the Italians which
was furnished by a friend of
mine:
"An italian Is generally a guy
called Luigi. Italians usually
have cousin In Brooklyn.
Sometimes, when they have a
few cousins 10 spare, Italians
admit to having one in Chicago.
Italians usually cut hair or sell

I GATHER, however, that the
Republicans want a presi-
dent of their very own. They
give several reasons for this.
one OF which-so far as | could
make out-has TO do with
horses.
II seems that the Republicans
have a horse which they wish to
change in the middle of
stream. / tried to learn which
stream they have in mind but
can get no Qualification.
Another reason appears TO be
that they are tired of Mr..
Roosevelt, although goodness
knows he has been around long
enough for them TO get used TO
him.
The point seems 10 be that
they do not want TO get any
more used 10 him. Conse-
quently, after they have picked
a candidate of their own they
will vote for him. which means
that every vote they cast will be
one less for Mr.. Roosevelt.
I AM sure you will find this
L very instructive, because
you may have gathered--from
New Deal propaganda-that it
is against the law, or anyway
seditious and traitorous, TO vote
for anybody but Mr. Roosevelt.
But such is really not the case.
In fact, l was assured on the
highest authority that IL is quite
legal TO vote for a Republican
this year. anyway. In another
four years il may become a
crime, punishable on the gal
lows. but there is nothing on
the statute books to prohibit IL.
Moreover. there is nothing
seditious or traitorous about
voting against MIR. Roosevelt.
although whether you can get
him to agree with this is prob
lematical. Mr.. Roosevelt, il
seems, thinks his other name is
United States of America, and
that even the mildest criticism
OF him is therefore disloyal,
