THE WHITE FLAG OF TREACHERY As the war progresses, we are learning more and | more about the kind of warfare we are forced to wage and the barbarian character of our enemies. There is nothing new in the reports from the Paj cific Islands about the enemy mining his own dead, | ' J so that the bodies will blow up and kill the Americans v' when the burial squad comes along. That is a trick the Americans encountered in Europe, during the last war, and the Japs seem to have been taking lessons from the Germans on that. But, for soldiers of a presumably civilized nation to hoist the white flag, and j under its protection to open up with machine guns and slay the soldiers of a really civilized nation is a trick that the Japanese have thought up themselves. Our people have been taught to wage honorable war, and to respect the decencies. Now, . we must learn all over again that we cannot fight barbarians ?~ TTrorpQ nror QfTQincf rvl 1 r PHll^ Is When a tl5 W C WUU1U wage wc*x a^uinu u . . ? white flag is raised by the Japanese, for instance, it; cannot be respected, regardless of the honorable in- j tentions of the enemy. We cannot afford to risk our j own lives, for we have learned that the Japs will stoop to any depths. There is but one way to wage this war, and that j is to wage it relentlessly and kill every Japanese that can be seen. Their utter disregard for the accepted r-nioo hoc lpff- n.Q nn rhnire The Jans must be met on X U1V/U 11UU xvx V vw . their own terms and defeated, completely defeated,j before they can be taught that they are not superior to the rest of mankind. A MONUMENTAL FEAT I The completion of the highway to Alaska in less than seven months is one of the wonders of the mod-j ern world. It is one of the most necessary of the war ; projects. Many people, many experts, believed that: three years would be required for the task. Yet, less than seven months after it was begun, trucks were rolling over it from the United States, carrying war materials for the defense of Alaska, and for the attack upon Japan, when the time comes to launch that attack. No longer will all materials for China and for Russia have to go over the perilous seas. They can now move forward in unceasing flow by land to the north, and then down into Russia and China. The elimination of the necessity for materials to go by sea gives us a strategic advantage that we did not enjoy before the highway was constructed. It is to help spell the doom of the empire of Mikado. Out of the north will come the planes and the munitions to blast the Nipponese from the oceans and from the land. Every mile of highway completed drew us closer to the day of certain victory. Tf ovorv pffnrt. that, this country has made had been pursued as assiduously as has the Alaskan highway, we would be further along the road to victory. Over plain, through trackless forests, across mighty streams, over towering mountains, eight miles a day, this highway of liberation of China, of aid to Russia, of victory for America and her allies, moved forward to completion. It means as much to allied victory as did the Burma Road. It is the newest and most important highway in all the world. The men of a nation that did that, can be sure to follow through to victory and vengeance. The wrath, the righteous indignation of outraged mankind, is gathering into a conflagration that will sweep the earth clean of this foul thing that / has risen up in our generation.

Langston, chairman of the Selective Service Planning Council, and Kenneth Royall, head of the legal section of Undersecretary oi War Patterson. Capt. Josephus Daniels, Jr., U. S. M. C., attached to Marine Headquarters, and Mrs. Daniels were introduced while brother Jonathan Daniels the main speaker, awaited his turn. Mrs. Jonathan Daniels was there, too. Jonathan, assistant 1 O ;D director, is "on loan" to the ! Pj esident. First number on the program was showing of the movie "North Carolina" filmed by Mayor Rich" T DannnlHe inH Dprmiri Mc (XI U U IVCjrilUiUU Iwm Lean of Winston-Salem and given to the State Department of Conservation and Development. The movie ended with a roar of applause from nosatlgic North Carolinians, and then I came the rally itself. Dr. Woodall had acquired a good stock of pennan'ts bearing the names of many leading cities and colleges and universities in North Caroilna. He gave each pennant to a native son or daughter and directed them to the hall outside for each visitor '.o rally around his own pennant. Raleigh won the attendance prize, a box of candy. North Carolina "is not all Variety Vacationland, as depicted in the movie," Jonathan Daniels said. "It has done a great deal about freedom. The War Between the States was not just an interruption of old traditions, but the first part of a democratic movement. Little farmers and bush arbor Methodists were getting ready to do big things." Daniels referred to James B. Duke and Joseph Cannon, founders of tobacco and towel manufacturing empires respectively, as "little people who had no aristocratic background." "The State can be proud of having fewer of these preserved [ places, such as Orton Plantation | near Wilmington," he continued. | From To you go< bundle of Che The lights c shall never 01 Lela's Beai I " MOD se: Christmas We are pr strong d Moderne Be I THE JACKSON COUNTY JOURNA1 "North Carolina never had pre- [ tentions, and it has moved past States with bigger- pretentions.

At r another place I found a tub full p ' of horse shpes besides other j pieces of heavy iron which one s little girl had carried about a t mile to where trucks could get jit.
