Golf courses parks, and pastures haye been plowed up in an effort to raise as much food ds possible. Today England farms on 16 mil- Hon acres: before the only 12 million acres were under cultivation, But England raised only 37 per cent of her food before the war, and conse- quently, she will always be depefident on a large and continuous flow of food from other countries ~-this means America! And our American foreign policy has accepted the challenge: the people of the United States will feed the people of England, regardless of cost and regardless of danger England that a farm- chooses but he must own SHIP BUILDING EQUALS LOSSES One of the most encouraging declarations recent speech of Prime Minister Churchill was his statement that in July, August and September, ship- ping losses had dropped to one-third of the total for April, May and June, As the British Admiraity no longer gives out de. tolled figures; as to ships lost, ii is interesting to note that in April, May and June catalogued sink- ings showed a sinking of 1416416 tons, If the three months ending in September saw losses decline to one-third of that total the result would be a loss of less than 500,000 tong for July, August and Septem- ber. The Battle of the Atlantic, therefore, seems to be going favorably to the British. While the produc- tion of merchant tonnage is a secret in England, the British rate of construction is estimated at better than 20000 tons a week, Production in the United Btates is probably better than 20000 tong a week. Thus, the two democracies are producing almost enough ships to offset those sunk by German sub- marines and bombing attacks It is worth pointing out that the Maritime Com. mission hopes and expects, if strikes or other dis- turbances do not interfere, to complete 1,153 new ships of 12410000 deadweight tons By the end of 1943. These figures do not include the newly devised “sea-otters” which are to be little ships, ' carrying about 1500 tons of supplies and of shallow-draught construction in order to present difficult targets to submarines. "The significance of the decline in ships sunk is that more tanks, planes and guns are going to Creat Britain where they will gee service instead of to the bottom of the sea Moreover, important food sup- plies are reaching the British Isles, in the DISCOVERS AXIS MATERIALS It will surprise many Americans that large supplies of essential war materials, consigned to Axis dominated countries, have heen discovered at various storage points in the United States, Thé supplies have been requisitioned for this country, according to Vice President Henry A. Wal- lace, head of the Economic Defense Board, In oho railroad yard 500000 pounds of aluminum, 700000 pounds of tinplate and 1500 tons of iron aud stecl were discovered and a preliminary survey of the port of New York indicates that as many as “1,000 carloads of materials” were involved. A DAY FOR THE NAVY On Monday of next week, the people of the United States will observe “Navy Day,” now broaden. ed by the President to be “Naval and Total Defence Day." The safety of the nation, for many years, rested exclusively upon the navy of the United States, We maintained a small standing army, relying upon (he warships of the fleet to safeguard the nation against sudden attack and. to give us ample time in which to train and equip an army suitable to any emergency The collapse of France and the fear that the British Empire might be beaten by Adolf Hitler last year, and that units of the British Heet might come under the contro] of Germany, caused people of this country to reconsider their position in el- erence to the new methods of warlare We were then engaged in a great naval expan- sion program but the fact that years would elapse before the fleet could be enlarged to protect us in two oceans made it necessary for the United State to prepare an army to take care of any grave peril that might develop before the new naval program could be completed It the arm and possible for development by our naval much in vogue, Navy The upon tonal duty our fleet tained by in the tection of owr world, is a vital Day the that when include the understood United States Navy, we the shore establishments that make it the warships to function efficiently The of alr powse has not been overlooked leaders and dive bombing now was developed by the American we speak fleet alr should be of KO defensive forces OCean, is a Na- The size of Neets maine that are importance of the Pacific and that ig being depends upon the other nations ntial shipping, in part of the we would experience adequate Atlantic performed size of the especially enemies, Surely the pro- all the waters of the nation's defense both those class of pote the have On Navy of of armament be when reming we people had as Y as we emergency expires demand for economy The United S millior of d worth beltef that disarmament could be » between Today alter nation cause Just world insistent resent will arise expense of the fleet ed hundreds of lars ships nation ected ablished as need the ship h were ast World War peonie ot compli we cd session of Nn adequa the maintenance WO need ON THE Mar from the WHO LIVES he 266 000 Od 1 18.000 000 PLANET, MARS? more than tant f fifa OF JiR seem Lo TT ence unGey NGOs W capable be he possible of exist on the planet nen RUSSIANS HAVE EARNED ASSISTANCE ttle In Russia uncertain The owing that tinabated according he German Hitler has tinues Ru with to advance falled in the late sans che Aare but hig LOO early LW say new Back Fnocgout Russians run plane guns and ant Naz attack not ifficient reserve ing There is little prospect the U States will be able to ia In thine relieve her present plight.

The work of building our two-ocean fleet could he greatly speeded if the Navy could secure ade- quate supplies of steel. While responsible officials will have to determine the priority of steel deliv- eries to the Navy and the other defense program, there oufht to be general agreement that the ptd- duction of peace-time products should be restricted as severely as necessary fo keep the warships building NAVY interfering with the *F.
