Americ TOGETHER LET'S GET Government offitials to be takihg a little too much time out right now in an attempt to prove that our planes and pilots are superior to the Jap. First comes a report from Under-Secretary of the ames Forrestal who say that the Jap pilots that the Jap Zero plane is, while vulnerable to attack be- seem or d aneuverable, very cause of lack of armor. Then comes Chairman Harry Truman of the Sen- ate Defense Investigating Committee to tell the pub- Jic American fighter planes are inferior to those of the enemy Surely, as Senator Mon C. Wallgren pointed out to the Truman Committee, the Jap Zero is more a match for the “flying coffins” some of our are using for attack in the Alaska battle planes have been outmatched on Equipment has been a sore spot war which we were not prepared for. The story about the vulnerability of the Jap Zero isn't going to help the case of the Navy pilot who bumps up against one of these highly maneuverable ships in a PBY, Too often, our officials have given false impres- sions in attempts to make an already too complacent public feel more secure. Our efforts should be directed toward giving our pilots the best planes American ingenuity can build.

From the very hour of Norway's seizure by Nazi invaders, the great f bulk of the clergy has been vigorous champions of Norwegian freedom. They have refused to let propaganda instruments of the puppet regime of Major Vidkun Quisling. They have led their par-| ishioners in passive resistance to the armies of oc- upation. They have given courage to the hesitant, | have set a sturdy example of fortitude for all to follow. When the pastors of Norway declined to fall in with Quisling’s plan for regimentation of the church- es, Quisling ordered the churches closed. The pas- ors reopened them and at once spoke their defiance from the pulpits, The latest step in this singular controversy came recently when a small group of clergymen, the na- tional leaders of the established church, met in se- cret. Their action was to declare the virtual sepa- ration of church and state, including a renunciation of any obligation to the Quisling regime. From that point on, the Norwegian church will |stand apart from the state, at least until the state | once more is in possession of the Norwegian people and under the direction of the leaders chosen by the people themselves. One cannot measure the military effects of such action. It will not automatically bring a change for the worse in Hitler’s shabby effort to govern Norway by threat and repression. But the position taken by the clergy of Norway will influence the attitude of the mass of people. Their patriotism will be stirred, their courage to resist will be solidified. And their usefulness to the United Nations' cause will be ayg- mented. Hitler is the avowed enemy of the traditional re- | ligions of man. He has persecuted all the chmches to which his power reaches. He has persecuted the devout of every faith. Now in increasing measure | ‘Lhe spiritual leaders of the conquered peoples are mustering their strength against Nazi oppression.

However, the English- man was only too glad to have even that much. “You can tell that story to the newspapermen when you go out,” the President added. Later, Roosevelt called Patton to the White House again, this time with the heads of the Farm Bur- eau, the Grange, and other farm leaders “What happened to that story I told you about the Englishman and his taxes?” the President asked. “I didn't see in the newspapers.” “I gave it to the press, on the doorstep of the White House,” Pat- ton replied, “and also told them about the spread between industrial profits and farm-labor profits.

These waterways are safe from submarines, cost taxpayers millions of dollars, yet they are relatively unused during a crisis when the open seas contain lurking death. So far thé Maritime Commission has dawdled inexcusably regarding wooden barges. But now the Navy may have the answer.

Gen. Pat Huurley,! U. 8. Minister to New Zealand, re- turned to Washington the other day, he went to call on his old friend Secretary of War Stimson. The two men had served together in the Cabinet of President Hoov- er, Stimson as Secretary of State and Hurley as Secretary of War. Hurley gave Stimson his views on problems in the South Pacific, but insisted he didn't want to do any “back seat driving.” He did say, however, that he would like to be more in the thick of things. He had enjoyed the assignment which took him to the East Indies in January, in the effort to run the Japanese blockade with sup~ plies for the men on Bataan. And he had enjoyed the more recent assignment as Minister to New Zea- land But now he wanted a post not s0 far removed from the battle lines.

NATIONAL ISSUES: Despite the | rude awakening of the nation hyg enemy attacks and the destruction | of shipping, citizens of interior |'full realization regarding war needsi states will be accused of lack of | and dangers.
