Our War With japan

The Sixth War Loan marks a new turn in the war
both on the fighting and the home fronts. 1t points
our tremendous war effort definitely in the direct
ion of the Pacific. During the first five war loans
Americans were primarily thinking in terms of beat
ing Hitler.
Now our government asks us for a loan of Ia bill
lion more dollars of which five billion dollars must
come from individuals. Why? Haven't we nearly
finished off our so-called Number / Enemy? Can
Japan hold up our powerful war machine very long?
Your son, brother and friend in his Pacific fOxhOle
wouldn't raise such questions because they are up
against realities, not day dreams. They kill or are
killed. They pray every waking moment for a sky
darkening cover of friendly planes. They thank a.
merica for giving them the finest medical care in the
world when their rendezvous with destiny in a Pac-
1f1c jungle is at hand. They know the war with the
Japs is just beginning.
Here are some other Pacific realities so that YOU
will understand why there must be a Sixth War.
Loan and why it is absolutely necessary that it be a
success:
The Allied Military Command has estimated that
it will take years, not months, to lick Japan.
Japan's present army numbers about 4.0O0-O0e
with w2,OO0,O00 more men available and fit for milit-
airy service who haven't been called up to date. An
other 100000, between the ages of IL and 20. are
not yet subject to the draft.
The Jap Air Force is growing.
In addition to millions Of native workers., japan
has a potential slave force of 400, OOO,O 0 conquered
people. oO% OF Japan's labor force is made up Of
women. Another 25% BOYS and girls under 20. the
balance men. The Jap wOrkday is twelve to sixteen
hours with two days off a month. The Jap cannot
leave his job, change it, or strike. The highest daily
wage equals about three American dollars-3O% To
1910 OF which goes to taxes and compulsory savings.
The Jap as our men in the Pacific know, will fight
to the death. As far as the Jap is concerned, the
outer Empire-and the men who defend it-are the
expendables. The Jap will fight the Battle from
inside the inner Empire.
The Jap believes that we shall weary Of war too
easily and too early.
Lin the invasion of France, supply ships had an
overnight run to make. In the coming Battle of
Japan, ships in the Pacific will have long-reached
round trips that often take five months to make.
These realities are worth thinking about before
you keep your home front rendezvous with a Victory
Volunteer. Perhaps you will feel that the national
personal Sixth War Loan obiective-purchase Of at
least one extra 500 War Bonds entirely too
small for you. The better we face the realities CON
fronting our forces in the Pacific the quicker the
whole bloody business will be over and the sooner
we VIII welcome home our fighting men. That's am
American reality to work for with all our dollars
and our sweat. '

ing law under which the Coast Guard
and certain other federal officers are
already covered. S. 1927 would
make it possible for anyone assault
ing any memebr Of the Armed Fore
es to be prosecuted under federal law
and in the federal courts.
This bill is very important because
Of the increasing number of instanc-
es, particularly involving Negro SER
vicenen, where bus drivers, local
policemen and others, especially in
the southern states, have assaulted
servicemen-and the local and state
authorities have refused to take eff
fective action. S. 1927 would give
the federal authorities power to ar
rest, try and punish such criminals.
Assault upon any of Americas SER
vicemen is a crime which can only
properly be characterized as a form
of treason to the war effort and to
the country.
Bill Stymieds
After the bill was passed in the
Senate, it went to the House Commit
tee on Judiciary, and was referred to
a Subcommittee of that body. On
May II, 1914 the Subcommittee report
ed S. 1927 favorably-but it has not
yet been reported out Of the full Ju-
dietary Committee. After that it
must also go through the House Rul-
es Committee to secure a place on the
calendar. +.

While there are several major bills
which must be considered bl this 18th
Congress before it ends Officially
Dec. 3D. favorable action on S. 1927
could easily be taken; most of the
work has already been done. Just a
final push on this bill which would
have far-reaching beneficial effects
and be a real step forward in ~realiz-
ing elementary democratic rights.
