Al-/ { though this year’s returns are the | worst in history, there is a major consolation in prospect. Public anger | | has hit congress so forcibly that once the present Chinese puzzle is out of | the way, laws will be passed which, ! with luck, may make the income tax | problem simpler than it has been for | years. | IT IS TRITE, NOW, TO SAY THAT | | no one is going to shoot Santa ' Claus, but the thought and the hope that it may be true comforts Cong-| ress these days. When the goldiers | drop their guns they will come home | with the politically far more lethal weapon of the ballot in their hands. | So politicians and legislators are tumbling over themselves to do ev-| erything in their power to provide for the servicemen from the boot] camp on. Their dreams are troubled by the fear that they may fail. | * | IT IS NOT BECAUSE THE MEN IN| the service have made demands, | that the politicians have the jitters. | Whatever ideas the boys in bombers | or foxholes may have about what | the country should do for them when they come back, the job is too grim and urgent to give time for demand- ing this and that of Congress. sk kok WHAT POLITICIANS ARE AFRAID of is the power the servicemen will have when they come home. The fu- ture of every politician and elected officeholder in this country is in the hands of the members of the armed forces. They know it and they are scared. ‘ ok ok ok ALL INDICATIONS ARE THAT | President Roosevelt will run for a | fourth term. In fact there is no oth- | er Democrat in the field as we can | am zo Democrats from 48 states and some of the outlaying territor- ies and possessions met in Washing- on on Saturday to stage a day and night-long demonstration in favor of [a fourth term. The demonstration started a few minutes after the Dem- ocratic National Committee met in the morning to elect a new chairman, Robert E. Hannegan, of St. Louis, | and select Chicago as the place for | | the 1944 National Convention. It; | continued through the afternoon ses- | { sion where it was climaxed by the | nant because his enemies won't go stolen resources of the great south- ern regions may be converted to war purposes on a gigantic scale, The losses in ships and planes may be re- paired. A great inner fortress may pe erected that will be breached on- ly with the utmost difficulty. If it it granted that the Japs want to pro- long the war, then the Allies natur- ally want to shorten it. Tojo admits this, but blames the Allied “impati- ence’ upon their “serious distress and unrest.” Here the Premier allows hiniself to go overboard. He is indig- along with him and let him have all the time he needs to build up im- pregnability. We have thrown the Japs off balance by sinking large numbers of ships and planes and by giving them no rest in the Central and South Pacific. We would be fool- ish to surrender the initiative. We niust, in fact, step up our offensives | continuously. We do not intend to | give Tojo his long war. We'll make | lit as short and snappy as possible, | making sure that it ends only in 8 complete vctory. 34 ok ok WHATEVER THE OUTCOME MAY | be on the terran below Rome, the Ifact remains that the “super-race” unmarried.

Perhaps more pur- prised than the German high com- mand itself, were our own soldiers, when, in establishing the beach-head, they didn’t have to fight for it. Tru- ly, there is something wrong with the Nazis. Lack of manpower prob- ably is the answer. The jitters they are having from the promised invas- ion has their thinning armies run- ning hither and yon, and in the case of Itay, then ran the wrong way at precisely the right time—for us. enV RECENT DEATHS IN THE NORTH OF CAMBRIA CO.

That's the only question you, too, have fo ask yourself when you de- cide the extent of your personal Jarticipation in the Fourth War oan.

This year will be the first time in motor driving history that only one license plates will be displayed. The wartime scarcity of metal is respon- sible for the innovation. But quite likely, once it has been started, the one-plate system will endure after the war, The 1942 tags now are pret- ty badly rusted after two years of scrvice and will be ready for the scrap pile when March 31 rolls ar- ound. Small red tabs were used dur- ing the past year to denote 1943 reg- istration.
