A Japanese Contingent Smashed It seems clear that the combined American and Dutch naval and air' forces have scored a smashing victory over Japanese warships and their convoy of troops intended for invasion, in the battle, lasting several days, in the Strait of Macassar. For insignificant losses, the Allies sank or damaged 36 ships which they trapped and engaged. Several fully justifiable inferences may be drawn from this smashing onesided victory. While we do not have any idea of the number of warships engaged, it is quite clear that the Japanese navy— though admittedly having at present a superiority of strength in Eastern waters—is not to be feared by any Allied force having comparable strength. In some wars half a century ago, the Japanese navy of that time triumphed over antiquated and badly munitioned and badly handled enemy fleets. But in modern times, and against modern ships and planes, the Japanese are not showing up as any super-fighters. Apparently they are not the equal of their foes. Another logical deduction is that the American flying fortresses can "get their ships," as the Mounties of Canada "get their men." The land fighting all along has shown that, while the fanatical Japanese may be good fighters, they are not at all super-fighters. The secrets of their initial successes have been surprise and numbers. They are probably not even in the class with those facing them. There is no possible way of interpreting the" crushing losses inflicted on this particular horde of Japanese fighting ships and troop ships, as other than a disaster. Whatever margin of loss the high command's calculations may have provided for, they cannot have contemplated the loss of many thousands of sailors and land troops and a couple of dozen ships and the disablement of others. This particular expedition has gone awry. The battle serves notice to the Japanese war lords that their argosies are far from being invulnerable, and that they may expect to pay an increasing ferry fare for the armies they are sending out to attempt the conquest of free peoples. ? ?

The Old Prussian Guard seeks an early peace now, just aa lt did in August, 1918, so that the remaining itrength of the army may be conaerv- ed. Then, according to their plan, when Germany li brought under their political as well as military control by overthrowing the Nail party, they will be in a stronger position to negotiate a favorable peace. Hitler, on the other hand, knows that ha can never have peace. Therefore he muit fight on to recoup his prestige by further victories. The Prussian generals believe that they have a chance, and it ls to it that they .turn their whole attention. But for Hitler, defeat meant the end of himself and his regime. It Is clearly seen that the interest! of both party and the Old Prussian Guard, are not primarily Germany, but the survival of their ow ngroup. Each is competing for control of the nation, Its people and Its power, for that selfish purpose. How bitter that rivalry will become, eaa only be surmised, but within days of the first military defeat the ihot-gun marriage ot the old Prussian forcee and the Nazi party has resulted In a divorce. The machinations of the Prussian generals are fraught with consequencei for the whole world. These men are more dangeroua after their dismissal than before, because in working for the perpetuation of their own power in the post-war Germany they are laying the ground-work for another military Reich. Bound by a unity of spirit, they' are the controlling group of the old Junkep class which has long dominated Prussia, and through Prussia, Germany. Now they have sought through Germany to dominate Europe—an aim on which they found common ground with the Nazi party. Their failure ll now evident, but should they survive, lomeday they will try again. Three of the outstanding repreaentativei of this group are von Brauchitsch, von Bock and von Runstedt, the latter two of whom began their military careers as officer! ln tha same Berlin regiment, have commanded the German drives against Moscow and the Ukraine, and were removed with von Brauchitsch. But of the three, von Bock ls the most Influential, the most powerful, and the most dangerous—perhaps the outstanding leader ol the Prussian group Von Bock is the only man In Germany, who Is on most intimate terms with the Crown Prince. He was several times brought to trial— "the most fanatical enemy of the republic." Ha hates the Nazi party with an equal fanaticism; on one occasion he gained the undying enmity of Goering by openly snubbing hil gesture of friendship. A rabid monarchist, von Bock is one of the figures in Germany today whom the world can ill afford to lose sight of. Von Brauchitsch is a more compromising man than the iron-hard von Bock; for that reason he was able to cooperate with the Nazis more fully and attained the highest post in the army. How deep-seated is the discontent among the generals is reflected in the fact that lt was the weaker Brauchitsch who first opposed Hitler and, when ousted, was followed by his commanders ln the field. All Gorman generals, however, are not Junkers. It is significant to note that most of those who have stood by Hitler to date do not come from Prussia. It does not mean that these men—such as Lecb and List (from Bavaria), Rommel (from Wurtemberg) and Milch (formerly with the Luftwaffe)—are any more favorably inclined to Hiller and the party. But being less politically minded than the cohesive Prussian group, they have not acted so instantaneously to prepare for their own survival in the political upheaval which will come with defeat. In the ascendancy now Is I general little known to the world—Alfred JodI, who il today personal military adviser to the Fuehrer. Significantly enough, he is an Austrian, and speaks with Hitler in the Austrian dialect. I.ess cold and hard, more imaginative than the class-conscious Prussians, Hitler has always found in this general a spirit more akin to his own. General Alfred Jodl belongs to tbe "new school", whose guiding principles are dictated by Hitler's "intuition." Ih Germany there are developments of which the world must never lose sight for i moment. The inner situation is once again forcing Hitler's hand. Aware of the real situation, the Prussian generals are pulling out to leave all the blame with Hitler. For now Hitler must face not only tha anti-Hitlerist elements, but also the Old Prussian Guard. Both are eager for his overthrow, the first, to bring peace that will permit German cooperation in the world family of nations; the second, to bring peace, that it may be a respite, another 20-year truce.

U.S. Fighting Two Ocean War With One Ocean Navy WASHINGTON, Feb 2 (AP). - Secretary of the Navy Knox has told Congress that the Navy is having difficulty in getting 24-hour production for its tremendously expanded armaments program because manufacturers can induce only tbout 10 per cent of their employees to work in the early morning "dog watch" shifts. Diicussing the Navy's general policies, Knox said that the military lituation with respect to both oceans ■was "critical" In testimony made public today on the $2fl,495,265,474 naval supply bill, Knox declared that the greatest bottleneck faced in the production program was in turning out aircraft engines The Navy would boost its production to 1R.000 planes yearly with funds provided in the measure. There was every indication the bill would be sent to the President for signing before the weekend, making $39,000,000,000 appropriated and authorized in a month for the war program. "We are trying to fight I two- ocean war with a nne-ocean navy thus far and it is going to take time to build up our sfrenglh," Knox testified. "We must not expect quick results. It is a problem largely of holding and doing the best we can with what we have, and putting every ounce of pressure in order to get more a< fast as possible."

OTTAWA, Feb. 2 (OP)—Tnereaaed wheat pricei and a "mere adequate lyitem of crop taiurence" ln the future, along with "parity prleei" for agricultural commodities were suggested today ln a brief submitted to tbe Dominion Government by 400 Prairie farmeri and their supporter!. The' delegation appeared la lupport ef a petition signed by 185.000 perioni ln Saakatchewan. Prime Minister Mackenile King ind Member! ot the Cabinet heard the presentation In the convention hall of a downtown hotel One leading propoeal made ln the DOW JONES AVERAGES High Low Cloee brief, lubmitted by John H. Weison of Regina, Chairman of the Saakatchewan wheat pool, will that ths Initial wheat prlcee guaranteed by the Government be Increased trom the preient 70 centi, basis No. 1 Northern at For WlUlam, to fl * buihel. The submission iet forth that the size of the group visiting Ottawa Indicated "the alarm which la felt by all classei of our people over the future prospects of our basic Industry." " The ability of many Saskatchewan - firmer! to continue wheat production might well be it stake if exist* Ing conditloni were allowed to continue, the brief iald. Theta are the major propoiala submitted to the Government: 1. The Government ihould recognize the principle ot "parity pricei" for ill agricultural commodltlei. While the general wholesale prloe Index wai now doge to the 1(28 leyel, the wheat Index wai about one-half the 1926 level, 2. The Initial payment on all wheat delivered to the Wheat Board ihould be not len than |1 a buihel, bail! No. 1 Northern at Fort William, and a final letlement on wheet delivered to the Boird Ihould be made by deferred payments on the basis of 1 parity price. 3. No price celling! ahould be established on farm commodltlei below parity levels, "using ihe word parity In the seme that a parity price for farm commodities would be the price which these commodltlei would need to realize in order to purchase as large a quantity of other commodities now available aa It actually did during a specified baae period." With an Initial payment of $1 « bushel, basis Fort William, equal to 80 cents a bushel on tha farm, wheat Income trom 960,000,000 bushels bi 1942-43 would be $224,000,000, er 816,000,000 leei than ln 1840, It wu eitlmated. Suggestioni had beet made foi more diversified production Is Sai« katchewan. In normal timei there wai a fine balance ln agricultural production in Canada which. If up* set, might result ln disaster tot farmers ln the other provlncei. 'Tor example, ln recent yean * comparatively email Increue iq dairy production in Saskatchewan had very eerloui repereuisloni In the pricei for dairy products In Ontario and Quebec," the brief taid. Tha revenue trom lncreaied livestock production could only be a small factor ln replacing revenue formerly derived trom wheit. Tha preient Initial wheat price paid by the Dominion Government at 70 cents a buihel basis No. 1 Northern, Fort William, mean about 60 cents a buihel on tfae farm. Un. der the P.F.A.A. a partial form oi price and crop iniurance wu provided and wu appreciated.
