CfclcMo.UUol 'KSJf ( 1 when the Navy Department anthat a group of destroyers from Admiral Hart's Asiatic Fleet had pounced upon a convoyed fleet of Japanese transports in the East Indies and destroyed numerous vessels and damaged others. The actual disposition of the main fleet is one of the most closely held naval secrets. Those amateur strategists who argue that it should boldly d waters sail into and come to grips with the enemy's main fleet in a gigantic action, are given no support by men who understand naval warfare. The advantages possessed by the Japanese fleet in the Far East. She has major bases less than a thousand miles from the Philippines. Her ships can be given constant air support Our nearest important base, Pearl Harbor, is thou sands of miles away, far beyond the effective range of even the largest airplanes. We would, in short, go into battle with all the odds against us, and risk the loss of a great fleet which is still our first line of continental defense. It may be that Admiral Hart is using his forces for what might be termed guerilla naval warfare. Small units can strike quickly, inflict damage on the enemy, and get away. They can constantly harry the Japanese, and make the enemy convoy, problem one of difficulty. Japa nese land victories in the Far East have overshadowed the fact that we and our Allies are destroying tremendous amounts of Nipponese shipping. That, in the long pull, will be exceedingly important. According to all authorities, Japanese capacity is exceedingly limited, now that she has been cut off from this and other recountry's scrap-iro-n sources. Every ship that goes down represents a serious loss. It is clear what Japanese strategy is now. First, she must have oil that is the reason for invasion of the East Indies. But the Dutch say that they have destroyed all wells in Jap-o- c cupied areas so thoroughly that many months of labor will be required to return Ihem to production. Second, she must completely conquer the Philippines. As long as General Douglas MacArthur's magnificent troops are able to hold positions on the mainland, along with Corregidor fortress, key to Manila Bay, Japan will have to maintain and supply a tremendous army in this islands. Mae Arthur's headquarters have reported that the Japanese have between 200, 000 and 300,000 soldiers in the field against him. inira, sne must taxe Singapore. Whoever possesses that great base dominates the Far East to a tremen aous extent. If it should be lost to the Allies, the job of defeating Japan would become immensely harder and longer. t, Japan has gone following tne German blitzkrieg technique. Ac cording to reports from the front lines she apparently care little for casual ties MacArthur has said that wave after wave of Japanese troops, many without even complete uniforms, have been sent against his forces, mowed down, only to be followed by more waves. Japanese commanders appar ently feel that they must win their objectives swiftly, if they are to win nounced Japanese-dominate- ROAD CLOSED v Big question in the minds of mil lions of Americans has been: "Where is the Navy?"

The next month or two may tell tne story. If Japan takes Singapore, the Dutch Indies and the Philippines, there can be little doubt but what years must pass before sufficient Al lied power can be turned loose to un seat her. If Singapore is held, and Allied air and naval units are able to inflict increasingly heavy blows on the enemy, the Japanese drive could lose momentum very suddenly. Today, japan is tne strongest force in the Pacific The hope is that the balance of power will be leversed before sh ia able to consolidate her gains and staomze tne positions she has seized ana is attempting to seize.

Farmers may maintain their records and file their returns of income on either the cash receipts and basis or on the accrual basis of accounting. A consistent method must, however, be employed. If a cash basis is used, Form 1040F, "Schedule of Farm Income and Ex penses, is required to be filled out and filed in conjunction with Form hydro-electr- war-tim- ic V 1040. Deductions fro'm gross income may be made by farmers as necessary expenses, all amounts expended (other than those constituting capital expenditures) in carrying on the business of farming. Deductions for expenses include such items as cost of feeding and raising livestock (except the value of farm produce grown upon the farm and the labor of the taxpayer); cost of seed, minor repairs to farm buildings (other than the dwelling of the fanner-- ; small tools used up in the course of a year or two; fuel and oil used for farm work; repairs and maintenance of farm machinery; hired laborers and hired machines, and cost of commercial fertilizers the benefit of which is of short duration. The cost of farm machinery, equipment and farm buildings; amounts expended in the development of farms, orchards and ranches, as well as the amounts expended in the restoration of soil fertility preparatory to actual production of crops and the cost of liming soil to increase productiveness over a period of years, are capital expenditures. Losses incurred in the operation of farms as business enterprises are deductible from gross income. If livestock has been purchased for any purpose, and afterwards dies from disease, exposure or injury, or is killed by order of the authorities of a state or the United States, the actual purchase price of such livestock, less any depreciation allowable as a deduction in respect of such perished livestock, may be deducted as a loss if the loss is not compensated for by insurance or otherwise. If gross income is ascertained by the use of inventories, no deduction can be taken separately for livestock or products lost during the year. but Argentina proved adamant at the last, as many anticipated. However, it is certain that a considerable step forward was taken toward the goal of hemispheric solidarity. The overwhehning majority of the nations have now broken off all diplomatic and commercial relations with the Axis. Many have declared war on Japan, Germany and Italy.

Next job will be to use almost limitless natural resources and raw materials for war purposes. South America has rubber, ores of all kinds and other essential materials in potential abundance. But these resources are largely undeveloped and there are difficult problems of transport and geography which must be solved. The job will be a long one.
