Wi||kie Lays Disunity
10 Administration in
Lincoln Day Speech
By the Associated Press,

65 the AssOCldteC PreSS.
- TACOMA, Wash, Feb. 12.-Wen-
dell Willikie last night accused the
Democratic administration with
fostering disunity on the home front.
In a Lincoln Day banquet address
he warned:
u, 1--WE cannot survive as a Nation
divided against itself. The penalty
Of disunity is as heavy today as it
was in Lincoln's time. Indeed, it
may be greater"
- The 1910 Republican nominee,
who told Baker (Oreg) railroad
station group informally Wednesday
night that he expected to be his
party's 1914 standard bearer,
climaxed his Northwest visit with
four speeches here last night. He
goes to California from here to be
guest of Gov. Earl Warren, who has
been mentioned as possibility in
the national Republican race.
"If the Republican party is elected
In 1914" he said in one eXtempo-
raneous talk, land If in 1852 the
head of that party gets illusions Of
his indispensability, throw him out!
And I don't care who he is. Human
nature is such that you must not
entrust too much power to one man
for too long
He said that Washington, Lincoln
and jefferson had one belief In COM
mon: THAT power should not re-
side in one man too long or freedom
would disappear. -
"I am dedicated to preserve free
dom in these United States, and I
want you people in Washington to
help me-"
The Republican leader told the
Lincoln Day banquet audience, in
nationally broadcast address:
1--WE need a new leader-a leader
who does not hold in his mind
bitter or triumphant memories of
past conflicts; leader who does not
think a nation as made up of groups
of people who can be played against
each other to insure his continuing
power; a leader who recognizes that
all groups are essential parts of
America; a leader with malice to-
ward none"

Mackenzie King Sees
War Lasting for Years
BY the Associated Press,

OTTAWA, Feb. 12.-Prime Min
lister Mackenzie King, speaking to
delegation from the Canadian
Congress of Labor, said yesterday
that unfavorable winds had serious
" tnterfered with the maintenance
Of supplies to the forces landed in
Italy.
There were circumstances that
could not be guarded against, he
said, and pointed out that when the
attack on the continent is launched
there might be unforeseen circum-
stances that may prolong the war
not for days or months but even for
years."

retary of War Harry Woodring
They have announced they would
call a convention sometime in ad-
vance of the Democratic National
Convention, probably in April. So
far, however, it does not appear that
the anti-fourth termers have been
able to make much progress in their
effort to head off Mr.. Roosevelt.
The Democratic conventions Sc
lection of vice presidential candi-
date may afford the only real con-
test in the convention. Vice Presi-
dent Wallace, who was named by
the convention of 1910 on the in
sistence of President Roosevelt,
may again have opposition if his
name is brought before the coming
convention. If President Roosevelt
becomes the party nominee for
President, however, he is likely to
have the final say on his running
mate.
Should the President determine
not to run again, there would be a
real scramble for both the presi-
dental and vice presidential nomi-
nations, with the. party badly split
between New Dealers and anti-NeW
Deal Democrats. That, however, is
considered a remote possibility.
Delay Proposal Abandoned.
With the selection of the July date
for the Democratic National Con-
vention, the proposal that the ma
tional conventions for the nominal
ton of presidential candidates be
postponed until late in the year, so
as 70 shorten the political cam
paign during these wartimes, has
been completely abandoned. For
mer Democratic National Chairman
Frank c. Walker urged such a plan
on the Republicans months ago,
but it met with an unfavorable
response. The President himself has
been in favor of late conventions
and short campaigns.
The Democratic National Conven-
ton of 1910 opened July Is and
closed July 18 in Chicago. With
the agitation over soldier voting,
later dates for the conventions this
year seemed to many of the leaders
inadvisable.
Chairman Hannegan will soon
name a subcommittee of the ma
tional committee to have charge
of the arrangements for the con-
vention. He himself will be ex-oficio
chairman of this committee, II not
Nesseeual chairman.

Freedom Has Many Blessings

The United Nations are fighting for freedom for many different reasons, One of the most unique reasons was brought out by one of our smaller allies, the Nagas Of Assam and North Burma, Known as headhunters, 1t took some thing concrete to sway them to our side,
 With these people hostile to us, our efforts in Burma would have been less effective. The American medical profes- sion played great part in helping win the confidence of the NagaS by just doing its job of caring for the sick and wounded.
 The NagaS were afflicted with sores which ate to the bone and were con- sidered incurable by these tough little people. The American doctors went about treating this common sore with sulfa drugs and in short time the sores disappeared mlraculously, Their King Peter was cured of blindness through the removal of cataractS in both eyes,
 It didn't take any more to convince this ally that our cause was for their good. The Nagas played an important part in helping push the Ledo Road through to completion, This is another victory for the American doctor who works and achieves under a free enterprise system, which Is the backbone of a free nation.
 If the Nagas people knew about the plans in this country to sociali2e medicine and destroy our free American doctor, they would think we were very stupid indeed

The Proper Answer

z A young woman customer in Cam bridge, Mass, restaurant fired volley of crockery the other day which, If 1t wasn't heard throughout the land, certainly should have been. Whether the volley was accidental or deliberate Is moot question which the court has yet to settle. But 1t came as the direct result of ques- ton put to the customer by waitress
 Don't you know there's war on2" the waitress had asked. Those have be. come fighting words. And We think that anyone who has been asked them is devoutly hoping that the Cambridge customers reaction was deliberate and that when the time comes the judge will give her a grateful nations vote of thanks T9ther than fine.
 Don't you know there's war on9" Those words are the only valid excuse for the suppression of free speech in war time that we can think of, They form one of the most stupid rhetorical ques- tons ever phraSed. They are madden ingly unanswerable, like the use of What do you say2" as a greeting. They are inane, inept, inexcusable,
 In the case of the young lady from Cambridge, they are also insulting. She knows there's a war on. She has three WEObSlSEb hIlkl ~ llLAdAISS hA eAAS SSA VASS' a cousin was killed on Guadalcanal. She herself is a seven-time blood donor, And her subverSive act which called forth the waitress taunting question was a request for squash instead of potatoes on the blue plate lunch. But back to those words, In Q lesser measure they are an insult to any one to whom they are addressed. They proclaim that the questioner thinks so little of your intelligence as to believe that you can be struck speeches. and demol- Ashed by such threadbare cliche. They express the doubt that your feeble under standing could comprehend any more pertinent or persuasive appeal for sell Sacrifice and forbearance.
 And, of course, they imply that the uuestioner IS a paragon of patriotism That Is probably the least endurable thing about them. For usually this question is offered as an unaSsGilable excuse for the absence of courtesy, good manners or good temper, none of which qualities has yet been frozen. So something like that open ing volley of chinaware from Paul Re- veres old neighborhood was bound to happen The only wonder Is that 1t hasn't happened sooner, oftener and more vio- lently. Or maybe 1t has, and we just didn't hear about 1t. Anyway, we're all for 1t. And we think the practice might be adopted more generally

Four Sons

To the German parents of four sons who died in battle, Hitler would give a medal and a discourse on the glory Of dying for the fatherland, To the Ameri- can parents who lost four soldier sons, the commandant of the Marine Corps has given back @ fifth son, with an honorable discharge from the service.
 This act of sympathy by the highest officer of one branch of the service Is the perfect expression of the feeling which the whole country must have for MT. and Mrs. Alben Borgstrom of Tremonton, Utah. It cannot bring back their four sons, or lessen their grief, but 1t can ease the anxiety they felt for the boy who remained In uniform. And 1t can also as- sure them that they are living In coun- try which regards death in battle as the heavy necessity of war, not the highest glory of existence, which still considers a human life as something precious and dignified, and It's expenditure sacrifice rather than what Hitler has called merely an episode,
