way of gently notifying Governor
Lehman that his organization was

wanted Russia represented in a

Whichever is correct, there is no
question about the tremendous poll

the Greek king, for instance, Leh-

who would be the ruler of Greece.
BY sending food and clothing to

by favoring Mikhailovitch's men,
UNRRA could change the whole

No wonder the Russians careful

Japan's Waning Air Power
New York Times


Japan's mscalculations regarding the were
certainly matched by our own misconception Of her
striking power 1t led through six months of
humiating defeat But ours were errors Of Judgment,
the results of which could be and largely have been
rcmedied Japans miscalculations were fundamental
and irremediabe. One of the mcst striking is her
failure to estimate the development of air power.
japanese weakness in the air is apparent on
every front.
Japan entered the war with stronger air force
than any of her opponents could then meet She was
able to cripple her two main enemies almost over
night But her rate of replacement was low Despite
frantic efforts to increase it, it has remained SO in
comparison with tremendous expansion. Agitation
in Tokyo for greater plane production has emphasized
this weakness for the past several months. 1t was
obvious hostile pressure continued to grow that
point would eventually be reached at which production
would fall behind loss There recent indications
that such point may be near.
For almost year and half after she con-
quered her new empire Japans only active front was
in the southwest Pacific. There she enjoyed great
advantages. No matter how many planes our filters
seemed to destroy the enemy could fly in reinforce
ments from conveniently located reservoirs not far
behind the fighting line We had to bring our own
repacements the other hand from bases thousands
of miles away. Gradually, however, the strain began
to tell even in that limited field Japan could no
longer hold her forward airfields but had to give
them up one after another.
But the moment real second front opened
in the Gilbert Islands Japans air strength in the
southwest Pacific seemed to shrink to nothing Japa
nese air intercepton New Britain almost ceased
and failed to check our invasion at Arawe. There
were plainly not enough enemy planes to man two
major fronts Yet even over her inundated islands
Japan has been weak in the air, though reinforce
ments have been flowing into the Marshalls. In the
Gberts she could offer little opposition to our ire
mendous carrier plane concentration. Apparently she
cannot now protect her inner islands, our deep
naval raids prove Meanwhile growing air force
in China is developing another threat War clouds
over Burma and the home islands also anchor what
air strength Japan has disposed there. IT, as Secre-
tary Knox says we are shooting down Japanese
planes wherever we meet thin at a rate of six or
eight to one, the strain japanese production must
be grave But even now, with her weakness exposed,
Japan has not yet felt the full impact of our air
power

would have made headlines had the
circumstances leaked out.
The Iowa Democrat put it up TO
Hull very bluntly that he should be
the Democratic nominee for the
Presidency this year.
Gillette is a member of the Sen-
ate Foreign Relations Committee,
and went to the State Department
ostensibly to discuss international
questions. However, the meeting
quickly got down to some straight
talk about politics.
After commencing the 72-year-
old Cabinet officer for the nation
al acclaim" he had won by his re-
cent mission to Moscow, Gillette
added that Hull was one of the
few men who commanded the re
spect and affection of all factions
of the Democratic party. Then he
got down to brass tacks.
Mr.. Secretary" he said, Il don't
suppose it is any secret that there
are many members of Congress who
would like to see you as the next
Democratic nominee"
The Iowan added that he had
been given to understand that Pres
ident Roosevelt would not seek a
fourth term, in which case Hull
should feel free to accept the nom
ination.
Hull didn't say yes, and he didn't
say no. He replied that he appre-
ciated the compliment, but that he
had no ambitions beyond that of
finishing out his duties as Secre-
tary of State and helping to win
the peace He also said he was
getting pretty old and indicated
that he would prefer to make no
commitments, at least until the
President had spoken out on a
fourth term
Gillette later told intimates that
the Secretary had by no means
closed the door against nominal
ton bid
Note:-Gillette's call on Hull CO.
incided significantly with behind
the-scenes movement by conserva-
tive Democratic Senators-led by
Senators Harry F. Byrd of Virginia
Cotton Ed" Smith OF South Caro-
lima, Bennett Clark of Missouri,
Burt Wheeler of Montana and
others-to promote Hull-Gillette
ticket at the Democratic eonven-

Tomorrow marks the opening of the Fourth War
Loan Drive
During the next several weeks the people OF this
area will be shooting at goal of buying $3l5,000
worth of war bonds That is the quota but the quota
doesn't mean a thing.
During the next several weeks, all Americans will
be making special effort to buy all of the war bonds
they can honestly buy. Those who do not do this
cannot be called Americans in the true sense of the
term.
There is reason here why we should repeat
any of the reasons why you should buy war bonds.
Very few persons who read, hear or see have
missed hearing these in the last several years
All of us know the reasons and it is now up to
the individual to determine whether not he or she
is buying enough bonds
The answer is simple. If you have been con-
sidering your purchase of bonds only luxury, as
a means of investing surplus income, then you have
not been buying enough.
The people who running this war emphasize
now more than that the American people must
sacrifice if the armed might of the United States
continues to march the path toward victory If you
have been buying bonds as luxury you haven't been
