SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA^^AAAAA^# Let us talk about the Jap war. There are signs that it may end soon. It is fair to speculate on that. It is, indeed, important to do so. There are those who think it can end in two weeks. That seems highly im probable, but nothing at all is impos sible. Let us look: What knocks out a na tion in modern war? Destruction of key industries, de struction of transport, destruction of naval power and destruction of food. And you don't even need to destroy ALL of those factors If you read your war reports faith fully and a bit carefully, you can see pretty clearly that Japan has been pretty much knocked to pieces, in the home islands. And the destruction is stepped up every day. Japan's navy has been all bat oblit erated. Japan is cut off by sea from vital sources of supplies. The home islands don't have much in raw materials ^none in many vital categories. You don't load gum with rice pad dies. DUERSCH COAL CO. Phones I and 586 THE WORST IS YET TO COME M.

OHIO OOMMMflTI iAMKy-FMBNDUr «DC1' MSMIBR PINIM QUALITY COALS & COKE Japan's transportation system, in the home islands, is being pounded to pieces methodically and rapidly. There can't be much left. Japanese air power is so ineffec tive that our ships sail right up to shore and let loose with everything they have and our air fleets fly where they wish. Japan's food supply must be about exhausted. They are talking about substitutes that the Nazis, in their darkest hour, hadn't learned to use Japanese people can stand arid be slaughtered, but they can't actually fight an organized war much longer if these signs are right—and all evi dence is that they are right. Where does that leave Japan? v Nobody knows how much destruc tion the Japanese are prepared to ab sorb. Nobody knows how much suicide there is in them. But what we do know is that it is in Japanese character to suddenly fold up and say, in Japanese equivalent, what's the use? However, will or no will, suicide or no suicide, the time limit for the home islands is upon Japan, like the cold breath of death itself. The end of the war there is defi nitely in sight—possibly not in two weeks, but in what may almost be called with certainty, a matter of weeks—maybe four, maybe six, may be even ten or possibly twelve.

Now, at first glance, that is the sort of measure you would expect everyone except die-hard women-haters to ap prove. But closer examination shows that "equal rights under the law" is an entirely misleading phrase and that the proposed amendment, instead of freeing American women from unfair I discriminatory laws would rob them I In the first place, women are not equal to men. On the contrary, in many respects, both mental and phy- pulsion to become the breadwinner of so-called "Equal Rights Amendment" would make women undertake sixeh equal obligations.

Yet the "Equal Rights Amendment" would pro vide a constitutional broom by which these safeguards could be swept out the window. The same thing is trtfe of widows' pensions, unless to make I men equal with women, Congress should appropriate funds for widow I ers' pensions. Then why all th|s fus§ about an "Equal Rights Amendment?" It was sponsored originally by a group of wealthy clubwomen who were anger ed by some state laws which do not give women, equal property rights and the privilege of serving on juries.
