There is not enough hydro-electric power in Canada to supply the demands for both, This may compel The Centre Democrat and newspapers of its kind to confine its circulation only to paid-up sub- scribers in order to conserve A Japanese naval spokesman, quoted in a broad. cast from Tokyo, tells the Japanese “in ten years from today the United States fleet still will not be strong enough to risk a decisive battle with the Japanese Navy.” Let us hope that the Japanese naval officer lives that long. He has much to learn, and, if he is in active service, not tog long to learn it. An-old-age pensioner down in Missouri managed to get himself part-time work on a farm and prompt- ly wrote the government asking that his pension be cut in half “because Uncle Sam needs the money.” Sacrifices like that by those who can ill afford them must bring a blush of shame to many an American, and a realization that we don't know what sacrific- ing really means. Nearly fourteen million men, between the ages of 45 and 65, will understand that the nation is at war on April 27th, when they register for selective service. To most of these men, in Centre county and elsewhere, the regiztration will be in the nature of a routine affair. Pew of them have any idea that they will be called upon to serve the nation. They are quite sure that the emergency will be overcome with. out drafting them. The probability is that this con- clusion is correct, but it depends upon what happens on the battleships of Europe in 1942. If Germany's expected offensive succeeds in destroying the Rus. sian army or overrunning the Near East to join hands with Japan in India, the 45-46 year-olds can revise their plans. At last Robert F. Rich, Lycoming county's Re- publican Congressman is doing something helpful to his eountry—he has declined to run for re-election, Rich, a bitter partisan, has always shown himself to be a Roosevelt-hater which became plainly ob- noxious to many of his own party, As evidence of this statement, we quote from last issue of the Lew. isburg Saturday News, Union county's staunch Re- publican newspaper: “Behind Rich's withdrawal as a candidate hangs an interesting tale. It is believed that his decision not to be a candidate will be wel- comed by his fellow-Republican members, Rich made frequent speeches in the House—almost a speech a day. In this, he reminded the old-timers of the late Congressman Blanton, of Texas, And about as fre- quently as he spoke he uttered statements that were embarrassing to the Republican members, It is not Proprietors | reported that his fellow-Republican members raised a hand to prevent Rich's district from being carved to pleces. And it is not believed that they shed any tears last week when they learned that Rich had de- cided to retire to baronial Woolrich” vichy Government of France seems to be pleased over the “special permission” from Germany to Increase its air force to approximately 1,000 moi- ern warplanes, General Jean Marie Bergeret, French Secretary of Aviation, says that “each British attack earned us authorization to put some planes into service.” The plain implication is that the French tir foree is being prepared to fight British bombers in the interest of Germany, The presumption is that the French will use thelr air force to aid Germany in Africa at the opportune time. While President Roosevelt is generally given credit by the British for keeping France outside the Axis orbit, and the President's may succeed, one cannot avoid the suspicion that France may one Hitler's order to stab their friends In the The policy day obey back A WAR OF PRODUCTION AND TRANSPORTATION taan and R were ws last week as the month a the United in the fighting State great. ussia ended its fourth a belligerent t of all wa The prese uggle trans conflicts in nificantly all previow but, more 1 production cend the wide range of battle ol before vite experien intained {f product we fall to man KLOW Our ¢ on and tact ares r a chance Production is th ne Secret Factor hostt tryed J nlanes ‘ u 1Lpu { pi Lhe ible Hi compiet Control of Seas Egential as depen upon adequate ‘well as the ships combined navies are hard-pr the ry ’ i « Unite ates Pai Ja the Bay tween “an rapidly com- Ber ing und communicat means a const plies i theater gal, between red ant the 1-Ocean Navy recipitated Int mile; launched than months of for ef. hoals dest first Wor ld fective patrol planes wey real Conv nle y of Bataan Loss Not Unexpected Peninsul v should octasion when war uld h of Bat aan ng out yuld depen. \ pasembie -mile defense four months are beginning a result of Burmese and Rising Fronts Japanese si 8 i Burma attributed SUDe } i ipport of Bury and which out- The Jap il field remaining in Al- Dro. are tn mir 10rity nese skiliful » foroes numbered mnmgle tactics v Rround Ch defenders advance threatlet lied control in the Far East, The Burmese wells duced about 10.000 000 barrels of high petrol- cum cach year Heavy fighting under review, As a Germany contin ives despite determin is written the initiative, with signs of a strong 1 minor oil from the Cri ductive, quality Russia continued in the week the was stable, with ng points for offen- ian attacks As this armies retained a precarious pointing to the early beginning Nazi p ish against the Caucasis, whose fields around Maikop are only 175 miles mea, The Baku fields, six times as pro- are nearly 800 miles further. LOOK TO THE U. S. FOR FOOD The famished peoples of Europe are looking to the United States for food when the war ends, says E. H. Archambault, Swiss correspondent of The New York Times, who says that America’s eventual feed- ing of the populations affected by war is taken for granted The writer says the plain people believe that the end of the war will come this year in Eu- rope at least, “Their belief is based on intuition rath- er than any reasoning on Questions of food and drink, rather than on strategy and tactics.” Mr. Archambault points out that there is a great. er realization that contro] and regulation of neces- sities has falled, even in totalitarian states, where threats of capital punishment do not increase pro- duction, He points out that “you cannot force a farmer to produce when you set an arbitrary return for his oil and threaten him with liquidation or con- fiscation.” He reports a sentiment that things will go from bad to worse until hostilities end and then America “alone will be in a position to feed famished Eu- rope.” There Is a feeling that it might be well not to antagonize the United States and some observers hold the progress of the war might be affected if peoples got the idea that the United States will dif ferentiate between friends and foes, Funny—Or Is It? From our scrapbook we cull this priceless proph- ecy by the Chicage Tribune in March, 1041: We have no reason to fear any nation or com- bination of nations that can be brought against us Japan already has her hands full in China, and the end of that war is not in sight. Germany is trying to overcome Britain. Italy is punch drunk. Even if all their plans of conquest should succeed within the next few months it would still be long after Jan- uary of 1943 before they would turn their attention to us.
