Purnace EDITORIAL Some people whose ancestors fought for freedom are now too lazy to collect scrap rubber. It will be time enough to criticize our Allies when we have done as much to overthrow the Axis, Inflation is an enemy to be shuned. Savings help the situation, especially if placed in War Bonds, The Army buys about 7,000,000 pounds of sugar every week, which represents 100 carloads, A Sixty- day supply is maintained at all times. The nation is spending plenty of money for war but it is better than saving our money and letting Hitler, Hirohito and Co. take over the United States, The collection of scrap rubber in one small Cen- tre county town may make available a rubber life- boat for the use of the crew of a bomber operating in the Pacific. A lot of people of Centre county, according to re- ports reaching us, are familiar with the deadly peril that confronts the United States, yet are careless in their approach to war problems. They rely upon the mistaken theory that somebody else will do the job. The Governors of thirty-six States, meeting in conference at Asheville, N, C., recently, adopted un- animously resolutions paying tribute to President Roosevelt's leadership and wisdom, and pledging him full co-operation in support of the war program. The Governors included Democrats and Republicans, New Dealers and anti-New Dealers, and representa- tives of every section of the country. American weakness in the Pacific is the result of our national policy of not fortifying strategic is- lands and of limiting our naval forces to a ratio with Japan that permitted the enemy to acquire naval supremacy in the Far East where the decisive fighting has taken place up to this time. The tip- off of Japanese policy, many years ago, was the re- fusal to permit the ships of other nations to enter the ports of mandated islands. This secrecy was necessary in order to prepare for war and the United Btates acquiesced without calling the Japanese bluff, SOVIET WAR LOSSES HEAVY The Soviet Information Bureau recently review. ed the first year of the war with Germany, declar- ing “Hitlerite calculations ended in a flasco.” There can be little doubt about the collapse of Hitler's plan for a quick victory in Russia, As a re- sult of Winter operations and losses inflicted by the Red Army, the Boviet Bureau insists that the “foun- dation of the German military machine was shaken.” In a comparison of losses suffered by the bellig- erents in one year, the Bureau gives figures for Ger- many and the Soviet Union. Some doubt may be expressed at the estimated losses of Germany 10,000,000 men killed, wounded and taken prisoner; 30,500 guns; 24,000 tanks; . At the same | [| time, there ls no reason to doubt the stupendous losses admitted by the Soviet Union: 4,500,000 men killed, wounded and taken prisoner; 22000 guns, 15,000 tanks; and 9,000 planes, The losses reported by Russia measure the ex- tent of Russia's contribution to the success of the United Nations, Few nations in the world could sus- tain such losses and maintain its firm conviction that “the day on which Hitler declared war against Soviet Russia was the beginning of the end of Hitlerite Germany.” The continuous fighting strength of the Red Army, after such enormous losses, demonstrates not only the patriotism of the Russian leader, but such u sacrifice on the field of battle in one year entitles the Soviet Union and the RussiaMpeople to the re- spect and admiration of the people of the world, OUR ARM-CHAIR WARRIORS One of the by-products of the Nazi victory In North Africa Is renewed sniping at the British by the arm-chalr brigade In the United States There is little sense and no grace in deriding brave soldiers stricken with death and disaster, If the critics can justify their mouthy comments, noth- ing will be gained. If they cannot, their attitude is Indefensible The next time you hear somebody lambasting the British, you will discover, if you inquire, that he, or she, was just as quick to slander the soldiers on Bataan and slur the dead sailors at Pear] Harbor The American custom of sitting in the grand. stand and lambasting the players upon the field re- veals its naked nastiness in such belly-aching. Com- mon loyalty and ordinary justice should restrain us from throwing verbal brickbats at men who are fighting and dying If the war is not being fought in a manner sat- isfactory to any American, regardless of age. the patrotic procedure involves volunteering for active duty. If any reader of this article wants to fight the war in a better way and finds difficulty in getting into the armed services, let us know, We believe the matter can be arranged ‘SOMETHING’ MUST BE DONE Yes, boys and girls, we believe the Japanese oc- upation of the Aleutian islands is dangerous Certainly, we think “something” should be done about it and the quicker the better Despite the mumbling on the have no suspicion that the Army, Navy and Corps are not doing anything about it, We suspect that they are not interested, just now, in telling everything to the American public and the Japan- rae It is positively amazing how readily the average citizen assumes that men charged with conducting the military and naval affairs of this nation nincompoops. It is hardly patriotic to assume, Aas many do, that generals and admirals fiddling away while the enemy takes the entire leutian string of islands The average civilian may rest assured that the men who will have to fight the war are anxious to do it with as little loss of lives as possible They are not going to give advantages without a reason It arme-chalr warriors to seek the home-front we Marine Are are Japanese any might pay reason the ome BLAMES MENTAL SPECIALIST A Yankee bp sick” Hitler is at insane asylum because who examined the completely mentally instead of being In an sychiatrist contends that large today 4 mental alist fuehrer before he a German pec muffed the diagnosi Terming it “the most {atefu) in all history,” Dr. Charles H.

These Germans believe that, after Russia is whipped, they can take care of anything that the United States and Great Britain can offer The Axis nationals are elated by the victory of General Rommel in Africa, the renewed offensive against the Red army and the spectacular successes of the Japanese in the Far East They see victory around the corner, just after the present campaigns are concluded. ff. for the RED CROSS ROLL CALL POSTPONED The Red Cross will not hold its annual Roll Call in November but that the drive will be combined with its next war fund appeal, scheduled for March, 1943 This decision will strike most of us as reason- able and impress upon us all, as President Roosevelt says, that the month of March, 1943 is “Red Cross month.” The decision of this great organization, valuable in peace and war, not to participate in joint fund- ralsing campaigns is wise Naturally, the Red Cross wants to “maintain direct contact with the people who constitute its membership” and this would be impossible In any consolidated campaign drive, The Red Cross is big enough and worthy enough to have its own campaign. It should retain its dis. tinctive organization and maintain itself for direct service to the people in disasters and to the armed forces during war. ABOUT ‘UNGUARDED REMARKS’ An American soldier in Ireland writes his father, who happéns to be a member of Congress, that the “German radio stations pick up things said in the House and make propaganda out of it.” ntl father, Representative Allen of Louisiana, recently appealed to the members of the House to “see to it that Hitler and his bunch, may not derive comfort from unguarded remarks.’ The admonition can be accepted by all who speak or write for the public. It can be acted vpon by careless citizens who grumble about little dis- comforts and repeat sly insinuations tending to dis- credit the American war effort, BOMBERS EVERYWHERE Announcement from Chungkiang that an Army bomber command of the United States is in China to join the "Flying Tigers,” in aerial operations against the Japanese is additional evidence that our war effort Is gaining momentum. The Chinese announcement follows revelation that American bombers scored thirty-five direct hits on two Italian battleships in operations in the Med- iterranean on June 15th, This was preceded by news of a raid by Army bom upon the oil fields of Rumania, where efiormous fires caused con- siderable damage. It is safe to predict that our bombers will play an increasingly important role in the fighting in Eu- rope and Asia. Just when this will be possible de- pends upon the construction of adequate bases which fequirey much longer time than most people imag- ne The rald upon Rumania and the attack upon Italian battleships indicate that we have base fa- cilities in North Africa Syria, or the Near East. Ac- tivity in China, which we anticipate at any time, will disclose the completion of ground preparations for aerial activity. How They Love It!
