V. Kaltenborn, in Washington, an- swered this question propounded to him over the radio by Upton Close in San Fran- cisco, ‘““H. V., wher do you think the war ; will end?” Kaltenborn’s opinion was that Ger- | many will be knocked out by next winter, | und that Japan will be licked in 1945. His opinion conforms with one edi- jtoriahiwemiter on The Citizen, while another | thinks that Japan will be the first to bite thre-tiust:"" =" iit) The latter believes that the other edi- j.tgrial w riter,, and Kaltenborn, too, will change their views a few weeks after the Allied Nations begin to bomb Tokyo, Yoke- | | hama and other cities in Japan on a scale comparable to the air raid blows that are now being dealt Germany. That Japan is scheduled for such a blasting, we have the word of no less a per- son than Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox. He did not say when or wherethe Jé | would be struck, but he emphatically | they would be thoroughly pounded. And there’s no question in the minds of the American people that the cities of | Japan can be as badly devastated as have | some cities in Germany and Italy and in sur Allied country of England. Ten months ago American airplanes, un- der Doolittle’s leadership, bombed Japan, end got away without the loss of a single | plane. Refugees, who were in Japan at the time of the bombing, and have since re- the United States, have given us vivid pictures of the terror that was created he Japs, particularly the women- . That terror will be intensified when cmbings are carried on a large 2, and it will, without doubt, undermine | the morale of the Japanese public, the wo- men, of course, to a greater extent than the men. And the women are exceedingly im- whether they are in Al- ed countries or in enemy countries. Japanese have neither thé stamina nor the courage to “take it,” as | have the women.in the United States and in | Sngland. And breaking the morale of the | women in any country will have its reper- cussions among ‘the men, just as it has in private life in any household. However, this is merely the opinion of ‘ one man.

Moreover, it calls attention to the flourish- ing condition of the various states of the | Union, practically all of which now have large surplus funds available, Just what to do about such a situation ise ging the attention of some of the best tive minds in the 1 the dem ion, nd will be heard tes immediaie- ing the surpluses legisla Ircvitawiy 9¥ reduce taxes, thus util }to-ease the bu ly, there are other demands, jor enlarge- | ment of ihe servic | people, including assistance.
