the result OF a letter received
by Rep. Hale from Henry T.
Donohue OF Chicago.
nONOHUE said he believed
~ civilization could be saved
II Rep. Hale would push his
plan through Congress. After
a long preamble filed with sus.
pense. the author disclosed that
all that had to be done was
decapitate the mountains afore.
mer toned.
Donohue said the Rockies and
Alleghenles are ausing air
pressure which brings too much
rain TO certain portions and
drought 10 others. They are
also using up valuable space.
If the mountain-tops were re-
moved, he continued, millions
OF square miles of productive
land would become available in
America and the foreign refugee
problem could be solved. He
added that il would also bring
America closer together as
there would be no longer such
distinctive regions as the Allan
tic and Pacific seaboards.
Furthermore. people would
not 60 around sticking up their
noses merely because they live
east or west of the Rockies.
Well, Rep. Hale discussed this
remarkable proposition with
other congressman and the idea
caught on like wildfire. Prac-
tically every time a bunch of
congressman get together now
they toss in added suggestions
for the Rockbottom Hale Up
heaval Corp.
Rep. Hale, who is one OF the
best deadpan kidders on Cap
itol Hill, took the matter up
with Rep. Hal Holmes of Wash
ing'on State. Hale said he was
prepared TO sacrifice every
mou TIA in top in Maine IL
Holmes would only agree TO
knock off the Rockies.
HOLMES demurred. He said
H the people OF Washington

Rockies.

Holmes. II suppose you are go

Holmes. II have Just sort of

"Your attitude Is one that all

plore. BE broad now, and give
up the Rockies"

Answer to Question No. !

We cannot dismiss this state
ment, made by DR.. c. j. Joad,
eminent English scholar. either
with a joke or some finland
expression of indignation. We
may feel like doing both, but we
must reflect that the last war
left two million more women in
England than men. and this war
will leave still more. What 10

Germans have little alternative
but TO seek II out. When they
throw the remaining portion OF

gagement where really large

In such an engagement Hitler

IF WENDELL WILLKIE is
L right in his article on states
rights. Roosevelt ought 70 be re-
elected. He says:
THE solution lies not In
weakened central government.
1t lies In assuring the proper
use OF the power we have
deemed II wise and necessary TO
grant to the federal govern
ment :"
To this, Roosevelt can reply
that he changed the American
political and economic system
trying one method and another
TO develop the proper agencies
of control tthe alphabetical
ones) and that now the new way
of life is running more smoothly
than, let US say. In 1887.
If Willkie believes that Roose-
welt is fundamentally right in
principle. why make a change?
To support his assumption that
the states rights issue is dead,
Willkie says:
1.-THE Republican party In Its
beginning arose from the peo-
pies urge to build Q strong ma
tionai government To offset the
descriptive, weakening influence
OF the states rights doctrine OF
the Democratic party
Periodically, now, In 1914,
that same Republican party 10
urged TO dedicate itself to the
doctrine NJ states rights. In
the days Of the party's found
ing, O strong central govern
ment was necessary to prevent
disruption Of our political
union -. :"
DUT that is not so. / quote
- from the Republican plat
form for 1860, the year Abra-
ham Lincoln was nominated and
elected:
"That the maintenance lnvio-
late Of the rights of the states,
and especially the right Of each
state to order and control Its
own domestic institutions ac-
cording to its own Judgment ex-
clusively. In essential to that
balance of power on which the
perfection and endurance of our
political fabric depends; and we
denounce the lawIess invasion
by armed force OF the soil OF
' any state or territory, no matter
under what pretext, as among
the gravest of crimes"
Wilkes confusion arises from
the fact that the Republicans at
that time opposed disunion and
secession which they held in
adherence. Wendell Willkie in
these instructions TO the Re-
publican party continues:
Nv .. And IL means primarily
the substitution Of government
BY law for government by ca
price and unlimited disoretions.
Under such exercise OF federal
power every citizen. rich or
poor, labor leader or factory
manager, issuer of securities or
wage Garner, farmer or busi-
nessman may know his rights
and may know that In case Of
dispute they will be sdjudicated
fairly and equitably under law
and rules which at least his
lawyer can understand"

DOUGAINVILLE, June 9 de-
- layed) You know, OF course,
about ~ amazing story on this
island. We control some 81
miles of territory. while the re-
naming $4,000 Japs have about
80 miles n which 10 roam. Yet
we have the situation we'll IN
hand.
The story OF Bougainville has
been told many times recently,
But since IL has produced what
Is unquestionably the most re-
markable situation In the Pa.
cific war 10 date, suppose we
review the battle very briefly.
Our forces moved in last Nov.
!. We established our beach
head and expanded our drive.
while the Seabees performed
their miracle OF building air
strips under fire.
Enemy reaction was strong,
both on land and in the sky.
Three or four nightly air raids
on our troops during those early
days we're more the rule than
the exception.
We never planned 10 take the
entire island, which would have
been a huge operation. What
we wanted was 10 neutraliZe
Bougainville as a Jap base OF
operations. Thus. once we had
our air strips, we merely ex.
.anded our perimeter until we
teded no further territory.
Then we stopped.
OPPOSITION dwindled until
" March 4. this year On that
date. the Japs on the island
threw everything they had
against us and they continued
their fanatical assault in d Sc
ries Of six battles that finally
ended on March %
During those six battles, our
boys OF the Americai and 37th
Infantry divisions fought and
decisively defeated the finest
fighting unit in the Japanese
army-the Sixth Imperial Japa-
nese Division. The Sixth I'M
perials were the sterling gentle
men who performed the rape of
Marking in 1888.
Grudgingly. but honestly, our
troops admit that these Japs
are fantastic fighters. Until or
