INFLATED clothing prices" for which
OPA ana WPB began to plan last
January will have tc te postponed

Thursday.
The reason. OPA spokesmen said,
is that the proposed rOllback would
have been too abrupt for an indus
try that must make its plans long
time in advance Of execution.
The rollback program, first pro-
iected last January %, was sched-
uled to take effect this month.
1t was in the manufacture of
WOolen and Worsted fabrics, rather
than in garment production, that
the difficulties arose which forced

program will have developed suffi-

.LUZON, VICTORY GATEWAY

While the landing at Lingayen
Gulf on the island of Luzon
raises the curtain on a drama of
poetic justice, it is certain that
considerations of grand strategy
rather than the prospect of just
retribution dictated the decision
OF the Pacific commanders to
strike at this point. For Luxon
is the key to the first really de.
cisive phase of the war against
Japan.
The potentialities of this cam
paign are enormous. With Lu.

the major air and naval facili.
tiee which the island superlative-
ly affords in operation. Japan can
be cut off from her richest con-
quest, the Dutch East Indies and

The Allies will possess the
first adequate base from which
to launch offensives at Fornosa
and the China coast. 1t will
place their forces in the Pacific
10 a comparable position to those
on the Western Front. ranged at
the walls of the enemy's inner
fortress.
For these reasons what tine
Japanese navy tries to do and
succeeds or fails in doing, prob
ably in the next two weeks, will
largely determine the course of
the war in the Far East. Un-
doubleday Luzon is strongly held.
The partial surprise achieved at
Lingayen Gulf may mean only
that the Japanese generals have
net made the mistake of trying
to garrison the entire coast line.
But Japan cannot continue to
bold Luzon unless it can rein
force its defending armies and
prevent American reinforcement
likewise. So the fleet of Nippon
must either strike as it did at
the Lsyte lifeline or remain in
the security of home waters and
turn the defense of Luzon into
another suicidal delaying action.

mendous decision for the Japan

its fleet means the ultimate aban.
