Neither the navy or the army has been out moded by modern warfare, but both have been rendered impotent with ovt a warplane force sufficient to control the air. “The United States and its allies in the Pacific,” occording to the Napa Register, ‘‘have lost the battle of time. Even though this defeat on the Asiastic front does not necessarily presage a general victory for the axis, it does portend a longer and fiercer struggle than most people have been willing to contemplate. But it must now be contemplated.

It is the solemn duty of our government also to forget all the side issves. all the minor questions, all the buteaucratic jealousies and personal contentions and_ concen“trate 100 per cent on winning the war. It can do nothing less and fulfill the obligations to those whom it has summoned to sacrifice and service,” =e “One bright hint comes in the news from the war front” concludes the Madera Daily Tribune, “not a large one, but something for the public to cling to as a last straw.

Mr. Craemer, tends to unbalance our entire population structure. Take for instance, the City of San Diego, which has recorded an inerease in population of more than 100,000 within the last ‘two years. Sixteen months ago, the San Die:o Electric Railway system operated 50 busses; today it has 180 in operation and still cannot meet the demand. As a result, it is buying second-hand street cars and has an ambitious program under way to install additional street car facilities-in every section of the city. Stmilar situations exist in Vallejo;-Richmond, Burbank, Santa Monica, Glendale: Inglewood, Long Beach and, in fact, all harbor areas within the state.
