The invasion has blotted out political news, but not political developments. While attention, naturally, has been riveted on the battle fronts, there has been no pause in politics. Military progress, in fact, has made political decisions more urgent. We may be perfectly sure that every advance on the battlefield will increase the necessity for political action, until a military and political climax will have been reached with the collapse of the Nazi regime. That collapse, it is predicted by observers who have been right in the pact, will occur some time next fall. Prelude to Landings? ... The Japanese position is certainly not improved as a result of the recent operations of the U.S. Nav, task force. Tha Japanese Navy is estimated to have already suffered a 50 per cent depletion in its destroyer and light cruiser strength, while Allied attrition has drained Nippon's merchant shipping. tfut strikes such as these around the Marianas frequently mean more landings are to follow. The Marianas, which include Guam, are not only less than 1,400 miles from Tokyo. They are the next obvious stepping stones in the (American march back to the Philippines. In the hands of Japan, the Marianas are an arrow aimed at supply lines from tht United States to China by way of the Philippines. Their strategic vajue is such that the American Navy must either have them or neutralize them completely. Their defensive value to Japan is clear. Therefore, it seems sqfe to say that what is immediately past in the Marianas is but prelude to what is to come. un i Lomoie With the word "Zombie" appearing very prominently in the Canadian news, these days explanation of the origin of the word might prove of interest, especially as the term does not appear as yet in most of the modern dictionaries. The term "Zombie" was originated by the American author William Seabrook, famous for his firsthand stories of native cult rites and superstitions in Haiti and the primitive areas of the Belgian Congo, Nigeria and the Gold Coast According to him. a "Zombie" is n has lapsed into a weird sort of existence, being jiui ucau aim tumjjieieiy wunoui an in dependent mind or soul. The state of "Zombiism" - ' - w av. ui uuuiib about through a curse or "hex" upon the subject by a witch in Haiti or a medicine man or witch doctor ill XVII A Bad Impression . . . We know something ourselves about the central interior its advantages and its handicaps, its good points and its deficiencies. Possibly, statements made by Bruce Mickleburgh, the exuberant young Labor-Progressive candidate, which paint the coun try between here and Prince George as a district of destitution and squalor should not be allowed to go unchallenged. There are, no doubt, some instance of rather denlorable conditions hut. frnm have personally observed ourselves, these have been oiien due 10 me incompetence or unfitness of the persons involved to make their living as settlers or farmers. There are always such cases in a pioneer agricultural country. Mr. Mickleburgh, who evidently, made a rather complete tour, must also have noticed some quite comfortable and prosperous farms, We can, of course, agree with the Labor-Progressive candidate that there are possibilities for industrial development and betterment of agricultural conditions in that area. Other parties than the Labor-Progressives are fully aware of these which, indeed, are already being taken full cognizance of in postwar rehabilitation plans. Meantime, we might suggest that political candidates might do better than go around knocking the district in the hope of winning votes of discontent.
