Canadian Forces Clear Ger mans Out of Marsh Land
 in Italian Area

ROME, Jan. 8.-Canadian troops of the Eighth Army have driven to the Adriatic Sea at point about ten miles above Ravenna.
 In four days of bitter battling, the Canadians have pushed the Nazis out of fifty square miles of marshy land between Ravenna and the city of Valli de Cammachio.
 The attacking forces famed out in a broad push that reached both east and west from captured San Alberto along the main highway leading out of that bastion.
 The Canadian forces reached the sea at Casa Borsetti, a spit of land separating Commachio Lagoon from the Adriatic.
 Meanwhile, snow and cold weather confined the rest of the front to patrol activity.

 It was April 23, 1941, when he led the first surveying crew to the Port age side of the proposed tunnel, later joining with another crew that started from the Whittier side late in May Cruel weather made life miserable for the men, who lived in tents until mid-December, while be- ginning the tunneling through two mountains of "Graywacke" rock.

 When he received his Citation, Kukkola said that he felt very hum- ble and that he was glad to have had the opportunity of working with the Army Engineers on the construc- ton of this project and I believe that the majority of the credit really belongs to them" To which Gen. eral Emmons replied, You wouldn't be receiving this award if you didn't thoroughly deserve it"

fight to the last man in defense
of their homeland"
He admitted that the situation
of the Jap forces on Okinawa is
grave" and advised the Jap peo-

ing package liquor after 0 o'clock
al night, the time limit set by a
provision in the states liquor

Two representatives of the
State Beverage Department testi-
fled that they had seen Mr.. Boza
hand a package of liquor to a
customer after 3 o'clock, but they
stated that they were unable to
say whether or not he received
payment for it.
The defendant testified the
package had been bought before
o O'Clock, and had been kept on
counter till the customer asked
for IT,
John Hall, manager of Whitney
Papy's place, charged with sell
ing liquor after hours, was found
not guilty by jury. Three State
Beverage Department men testi-
fled they saw liquor dispens-
cd after hours, but Hall said that
he had closed the bar at the time

NATIONAL POLICIES
REQUIRE BASES IN
THE PHILIPPINES

President Sergio OSmena, of the
Philippine Republic, says that his
country will grant the United
States the right to have military
bases, either under lease or grant
and that Filipino ground troops
would be available to protect the
bases.
Mr. Osmena points out that
"the Filipino people recognize the
necessity of American protcc-
ton" OF this necessity there is
little doubt and largely because
of it arises the need of Ameri-
can bases in the islands.
The United States, in its for
cign policies relating TO the Pa
cific area, is apparently bound by
two commitments: "a the guar
antec of Philippine independence,
whether expressed or implied;
and Gu support for Chinese indie
pendence and recognition of SOW
ereign rights of the Chinese. Eth
er of these policies might precipi-
tate the nation into war in the
future and, consequently, wise
precautions suggest the retention
of strategic bases throughout the
area affected.
Our commitments in relation TO
China, including the Open Door
policy, can be adequately safe
guarded by the retention of is
land bases captured in the Cen
trail Pacific area, supplemented
hs2 alslaawsa and. others closer to
China and Japan Our voluntary
undertaking to maintain Philip
pine independence, however, re-
quires the establishment OF ade
quate bases in. the Philippines.
The japanese attack upon this
country became inevitable when
Japanese militarists planned their
expanSionist program in the Far
East and the government of the
United States stood its ground in
regard to our. established policy
in regard to China and the Phil
ippines. War in the Pacific was
inevitable unless Tokyo or Wash
ington drastically altered national
policies and, when it became APP
parent that the United States had
no intention Of doing 50, the To-
kyo war lords set their plans in
motion.
The lesson Of the past, as APP
piled to the future, IS that the re-
tention of our policies in relation
to China and the Philippines will
inevitably involve us in war with
any nation which attempts to cS-
tablish, exclusive dominion in the
Far Fast, .... l.4 .,-.i...,.. .
While no present successor TO
Japan appears in the. offlng, tue
nation that gets along in the,
world has TO look many years
ahead and consider the lesson Of
history. This teaches US that new
conditions create new strains and
stresses and new mcnaCc5 to the
peace of the world.
