the lightning blows of the Nipponese through out the south Pacific which cut supply lines to the islands increased the hopelessness of their position But since December 7: 1941 when Japan struck its treacherous blow at Pearl Harbor the sniall American garrisons of the Philippines assisted by native troops have held out against disheartening odds Under the direction of General Douglas 'MacArthur who knew the islands well the defenders fought their way into a masterful consolidation of forces on Bataan peninsula where they battled the foe for weeks and took heavy tolls of men and materials When General MacArthur was ordered to Australia to assume charge of the united nations fighting forces he left in charge 6f Bataan and Corregidor the able Lieutenant General Jonathan M Wainwright tinder General Wainwright the defense went on but he finally had to retire from Bataan to the fortified islands in Manila harbor where his forces have waged a gallant battle against greatly ' Euperior forces Almost all Americans felt it was just si question of time They prayed for a rnicracle to save the defenders of Corregidor and they hoped that in some way somehow supplies and reinforcements could be sent But it was not in the cards and the brave troops were forced to give tp in the face of a powerful mass attack lk the enemy Bataan is lost and Cor regidor is overwhelmed but the memory of them will shine brightly in the military annals of this nation as long as the Stars and Stripes fly over a free people Recognizing the added importance of rigid automobile inspection in wartime the state highway patrol has announced that this time there will be no methods of Certifying cars for fitness as has been permitted in the past The ban' on new autos has made this rule imperative as many "relics" have appeared again on the streets and highways and they represent a real hazard to their drivers and others qieretofore the law requiring inspection was enforced rather leniently as most defects were believed to have been minor and most people were turning in older modelsfor newer and safer machines This practice has been practibrand-necally halted by the ban-ocars and by difficulties encountered in trading to get usable tires This time the process will be speeded by a cut in time for inspections to a month and a half that is starting June 1 and closing July 15 when all cars in operation will have to be supplied with inspection stickers The state officers also have warned those in charge of inspection stations that the activity "is not private business In conducting inspections the station acts in an official public capacity It represents the authority and the responsibility of the state government to serve its citizens honestly and efficiently" hit-and-mi- ss s of-car- n w - - Russian War Relief Seeks to Aid Brave People While the United States and Britain' have been sending weapons and war maever-increasi- Haile Sellassie Sees Better More Honest World Despite the bloody chaos enveloping the earth it has become more honest and hence a better world: This is the ientitent expressed by one of the war's early ictims Haile Sellassie emperor of Ethiopia whose country was invaded by Italians before the full force of world conflict burst upon the other nations Swept off his throne jeered at in the halls of the League of Nations forced into exile and then by the fortunes of war swept back Into power Sellassie has had much time to:tontemplate the tragedy of the modern world He sees hope for the future and a rew more honorable international system when the powers of evil have been expunged from the picture He tells of terials to Russia in vol' ume there is another need which Americans can supply to that great country while it is waging such a brave war against the hordes of Hitler—that is medical supplies The Russian War Relief organization which has established a unit in Salt Lake City is opening a drive next Sunday for contributions to that cause It is not only because Russia is waging a fight which is proving so valuable to allied victory that many people in this country feel the urge to send help to the soviet in addition to war materials it is the humane impulse which always comes to Americans when they hear of suffering caused by war or other disaster Russians have suffered heavily in this war with the axis They have been offering the only real resistance to the aggressor Germans in Europe and they have given this country and Britain vital time in which to speed their war program against the menace of Hitlerism Thus it is with a double appeal that the committee for Russian relief comes to the citizenry of this community the plea for aid to a brave ally in the fight against the despoilers of freedom and an equally valid appeal for aid to a suffering people - -- these feelings and this faith in an interview with Gordon Gaskill published the current issue of the American magarine Sellassie deplores the confusion and the bloodshed but ventures this opinion: "And yet I dare to say that at least In one important respect the world today is better than it was a few years ago Above all it is an honest world Perhaps it has been forced against its will to be more honest Enough that there are no more mumbled excuses no snore compromises no more shamed apologies Enough that a man or a nation today can look you straight in the eye and say boldl' 1 fight beside you' or 'I fight against you' "I think the world recognizes its mistakes now" the emperor continued "I want to be sure it remembers them when this war is won Pray God we may never again make the same old errors This war bloody as it is will not be in vain If we learn the priceless value of international unity I speak now not in bitterness but in the hope that the past will illuminate the future "What nation should understand the Immense benefits of united action better than America? Once you were 13 small Independent nations Once there was as much suspicion and hostility among your states as there has been among nations But in a moment of divine inspiration you united" But Sellassie warns it will not be an easy job to readjust the postwar world All signs look hopeful he thinks but the task will not be so simply done I must ask you to look back 25 years Then PS now the leaders were talking of great humane just programs But when the war ended the world forgot It wanted nothing but rest abd relief The great ideals which aimed at the stars ended in the New York Highlights - I Irnos '1 4 i 1 1 1 I 1 - dust" NEW YORK--"Vh- e Jap restaurants and other business places are running wide open" said a friend to me I didn't believe it "That couldn't be" 1 said "We all read in the papers how the police cracked down on them the very night of Pearl Harbor and shut them up tight" "You are as innocent as usual" said my friend "I'll show you if you do as I tell you to do Will you eat a sukiyaki dinner if I buy it?"

Do you think there are any American cafes run by Americans operating in Tokyo today? Do you suppose the Japs would take a chance like that? Did they ever take any chances with Americans ?
