Purnace EDITORIAL We wonder if some Congressmen will oppose the fortification of Guam after the war is over Inflation blows up everything a worker has buy, but leaves his pay envelope as flat as ever. The stabilization of wages and farm product prices is much cheaper, in the long run, than infla- tion. The ban on the sale of new automobiles is cost- ing the Federal Government about $19.000000 a month in lost taxes, Horrible as the thought may be, there is only one way to win the war. It involves the killing of Japs and Germans until enough of them are dead. The man who hasn't enough at stake to fight tor the United States should be deported to some other country in order to find something worth fighting for LOWER DRAFT AGE EXPECTED The draft ages, now between twenty and forty- four inclusive, will be extended to include an esti- mated 3.000,000 youths in the 18 and 19 year classi- fication. While there is no way to foretell when Congress will lower the draft age, such a Step seems to be certain if the war continues into next year. It seems to be almost a certainty and, consequently, young men of eighteen and nineteen may accept the advice which General Hershey recently gave to men with no other dependents than wives. He told them to "be- gin making arrangements now” to enter the Army, While many of us will regret to see the lads of eighteen and nineteen put into military service, the exigencies of the war seem to demand it. Henry L. Stimson, Secretary of War, told the House Military Committee last December, “The traditional age for liability for military service in this country is eigh- teen to forty-five” The Army and Navy, it is expected, will advise that the draft age should be lowered. WILLKIE'S TRIP ABROAD Explaining that Wendell L. Willkie will make a trip to Russia and the Near East as his personal rep- resentative, the President says that Mr. Willkie will tell the truth about America’s war effort and explain to neutrals what an Axis victory would mean to their future. The journey will require about a month, Mr. Willkie will be back sometime in October, ready to participate in the election campaigns, He has indi- cated that he will support only those Republican candidates who have been for an “international” view, a i THE BRIGHT SIDE There has been s0 much talk about what is wrong with the war effort of the United States that it 1s refreshing to read ap account of some of the things that are right Roscoe Drummond, writing in the Christian Bcelence Monitor, recently took occasion to point out that a truer perspective is needed and that we should have a realization of the things that have been “signally well” He lists among them: The clarity of leadership, under the President, In recognizing the nature and threat of Axis mili- tarism, from Munich to Pearl Harbor. The “greatest political conception of the war" the lend-lease act which cut through the jungle path of neutrality stumps and prevented Germany Irom picking off her victims one by one The peace-time conscription act, most democratic statute “with which a ever called its citizens to arms.” The start, in 1940, to build up our puny and long- neglected army into a force that is now 4,000,000 strong, trained and already on the war fronts The leadership of Leahy, Marshall, King and Roosevelt, In war matters, calling them cool and courageous, a strong and determined combination The war production program with merchant shipping moving ahead and raw materials short only because production has come so fast The Office of Price Administration which “is do- ten times as much to control inflation as was War | effective the free fairest, nation ing done In World The unbreakable means a nation at Mr. Drummond emphasizes that democracy continuously twice as bad as they ship are cont ally American democracy has its condu » WAY national War solid unity that victory for mistakes of and look dictator- that in mace the are in the open while those concealed He ttle to apologize for 1 that » Open are of a concludes ni nu the Mistake rected | FORCE TO DETERMINE TERMS There peace offer that ture, with the Great Britain hand Tha underground dissen tion, is That repeated references Ww a German will be forthcoming in the near tu- Nazis offering United States peace” provided they give are the and her a Irce will be official, despite its accepted by competent have the im- Anglo-American observers agination nations again |i Certainly negotiations of absolute sur: wi Germany say: wrnment will st 1 else ld be selves brutally BUT THE NOT NEW FACTS niormation leland P.

The U-boats travel faster than most small craft, which are unable to carry sufficient arms for an even fight on the surface THOSE NOT FOR US ARE AGAINST US Many Americans, who have admired the people ff Finland for years, will regret the closing of Am- rican consulates In the United States It seems that the Finnish refused official recog- nition of an American which was !n violation of a commercial treaty with this country Generally, it is thought that the Pinnizh stand was due to German pressure Despite our admiration for struggle to retain independence and their faithiu payment of previous war debts, the friends of Fin- land in this country cannot escape the conclusion that the Finnish Government has cast its lot with the Nazis. This automatically places them In the category of an enemy of this country The struggle now going on in the world, involv ing the efforts of conflicting civilizations to control the world, indicates definitely that there is no mid- dle ground, More than ever, it ig a question of friend and foe; there is little neutrality possible Those not for us are against us Vs vice-consul, the Finns, their PRESS “PLAYS UP” LABOR TROUBLE The President renews his criticism of the press for its publication of news on strikes and other work stoppages, saying that the news has been so handled as to make outside countries think that strikes and stoppages of production were the rule rather than the exception. There can be little doubt as to the correctness of the President's criticism of the American press. For many months it has overemphasized news Of strikes and labor disturbances, asssiting in the crea- tion of a public misconception as to the extent of labor difficulties While some newspapers may play-up this kind of news in urder to attract labor-haiting business men, we doubt if most of them have any idea that they might assist the Axis in thus creating the im- pression that war production has practically ceased. AIR CONTROL IN CHINA A member of the American Volunteer Group, which fought so well against Japanese airplanes in China, thinks that the United States could wipe out Japanese air power in China by maintaining a foree of 100 fighters and fifty bombers in that country If this is all that it takes, the medicine ought to be rushed to the Chinese. We are afraid of the esti- mate, however, because the Japanese can easily re inforce their air fleets operating in China When Necessary. The Flying Tiger also disagreed with those who think that Japan has extended herself too much in Par Eastern operations. He thinks the Japanese mistake was in stopping when they did. His advice to Americans is: “Don’t kid yourseit ~-they had the power and they still have It.” A lady In Jowa, it seems, is doing her worrying early, A news dispatch from Sydney, Australia, re- ports her plea to an Australian newspaper, asking it to do all possible to “prevent marriages between United States soldiers and Australian girls.” The basis of the plea is that “already thousands of Amer- fean girls face spinsterhood and lives of loneliness because of a shortage of marriageable men occasion ed by the war.” This letter is entitled to first prize THTanyeeontest that seeks to discover the world's Dest, and earliest, worrier, September 3, 1942. rm J pe THE OrrFice Cal “A Little Nonsense Now and Then, Is Relished by the Wisest Men” a | LOUISA’S LETTER O. from Texas wishes to know if It Is alright to talk with soldiers Fan Mail The following letter received last week has kept the Office Cat pur. ring so loudly he ls disturbing the neighborhood, Just listen to this Bomewhere in Callforney To the OMce Cat of The Centre Democrat, Dear Puss It's about time some one was singing you praises.
