FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1944 Red Cross Drive Ahead The opening gun of the largest fund raisinir drive ever conducted by the American Red Cross will be sounded next Wednesday morning. Here in Perquimans County we have been asked to raise the sum of $9 300. a part of which will remain here for the tasks carried on by the local chapter and the balance will be forwarded to national headquarters, to be used y that organization to carry on its work on the battlefields of the world. Now, 5,300 is not small change. It is a likely sum that will go a long way in "helping to furnish clothing and other essentials to American soldiers and sailors in need. It will go a long way in helping to save the life of some wounded American. Therefore, we ask our readers to respond to the Red Cross call whole heartedly. This sum can not be raised without effort and coopera tion; it can not be raise1 unless each and everyone of us contributes to the cause. Let us give until it hurts and then give more. The Red Cross is doing a swell job helping our men away from home, it is doing a great job rendering medi cal aid , to wounded, and it will con tinue to do tlwse jobs, bnt it needs our financial support. The plans for the local drive are complete. Let us put this drive over in the shortest possible time. No Peace Move By Japs The Army and Navy Journal, un official publication, but sometimes the spokesman for our services, sug gests that Moscow might soon warn the Japanese Government that it is expedient to seek peace with the United States and Great Britain. Of course, everybody remembers American mediation between Russia and Japan some forty years ago and that the Czarist government, while disposed to continue the conflict, ac cepted the negotiations which ended in the Treaty of Portsmouth. There is no similarity between the situation that exists today and that which confronted President Roosevelt when he proposed negotiations be tween Russia and Japan. In fact, it is difficult to imagine negotiations which will culminate in Japanese ac ceptance of our "unconditional sur render" terms. Even if we assume that the Japan ese Government is impressed .with the inevitability of final defeat, there can be no disposition to conclude a treaty with a government whose word cannot be trusted. Such a termination of hostilities would be only a truce and should this country or Great Britain become involved again in a war, the Japan ese would seize the opportunity to realize present ambitions in regard, to the East Asian Co-prosperity Sphere. It is unfortunate that we have to push the present war against Japan to the utmost limits, that only the destruction of Japanese war-making power offers a promise of peace and that nothing hut the bitter conse quences of utter defeat offers any prospect of permanently "de-facing" Japanese militarists. : One may rest assured that any in clination on the part of Japan to terminate the present war indicates the early and complete collapse of the Jananeaa war effort. Of ronra. . a f ". 1 the Army and Navy Journal's article pnmues oe oasis ior expecting a Japanese offer. Our progress in the Pacific has not yet reached the point where it will justify expectation of an early Japanese surrender. : J a.1 I m ienbCeralina v4v A Woman's Work , .

Recent Labor Department statistics reveal that about 800,000 women are now employed in Government war agencies throughout the country, and nearly 2,000,000 in wartime indus tries. This is in addition to the more than 155,000 girls who will be mus tered out of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard and will be looking for civilian jobs. Also, it takes no account of the other hun dreds of thousands who are pinch hitting for the men in clerical jobs everywhere. While many will, of course, return to housekeeping and raising families, and many older women will again feel at liberty to retire from work entirely when the emergency is over, there will still remain an impressive surplus of womanpower. A regrettable disposition is ob servable in some quarters to think of this problem as vexatious but not important.
