He frankly asserted that the war must be an offensive effort, with American armed forces “used at any place in all the world” where they will be able to hit the enemy and hit him again Consequently, he sald, Americans will operate in the Far East, on all oceans, in the British Isles and to protect this hemisphere and bases “outside this hem- isphere which might be used to attack us. The President's program for plane production calls for 60.000 this year and 125.000 next year. How- ever, it should be remembered that military planes include both fighting craft and training ships, and that about ‘half of our present production (30,000) consists of training ships. The ratio of training ships built in the future will decrease, and consequently of the 60,000 military planes to be built this year, over two-thirds of them will probably be combat ships. Our ever-growing air armada will be one of the main factors in saving the world from barbarism. One way in which the United States should be able to lick the Japs—and in short order, too—would bd to turn the nation's 32.000.000 automobile drivers loose on them. American autoists kill one of their n countrymen and injure about 45 more every fif- teen minutes of the day without intending to. Now if they should go after the enemy, deliberately aim- ing to wipe them out, what an impressive war record they could chalk up. The Japs should be cleaned out of frightened to death within a week, and the drivers eould go straight ahead and wipe out the Nazis and Italians. 10 | A lot of nonsense has been written about Adolf Hitler's supreme strategy and it is a good idea to re- view what he accomplished in 1941, In June, he at- tacked Russian, violating a pact of friendship and non-aggression, thus arraying against his nation the immense manpower and the surprising industrial organization of the Soviet Union, In December, he instigated the Japanese attack upon this country and followed it up by declaring war upon the United States. Thus in one vear this Nazi “super-man” added two of the most powerful nations of the earth to the ranks of his enemies, Some strategy! Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop, of Germany, says that the Axis Pact, linking Germany, Italy and Japan, was intended “above all,” to keep the United States out of the war. Americans believe, on the contraly, that the Axis agreement was design- ed to conquer the United States whenever the three PRET powers felt that the job could be accom- plished. The proof that the American interpretation is correct occured at Pearl Harbor on December 7, when far from trying to keep the United States out of the war, delivered a treacherous attack it impossible for the United States to re- Foreign SOY Japan that mace For approximately twenty years, the people of the United States were persistently advised that the nation was big enough to get along without the rest of the world. The Japanese offensive {n the Far East, however. threatening imports of rubber and tin, has caused us, in less than a month, to prohibit the sale of automobiles and rubber tires, Meanwhile, we read reports of 15000000 rubber seeds planted in Latin America to take care of a possible shortage and of expeditions to tap certain uncultivated forests in Brazil. These reports provide no source of optimism, however, because the Latin American trees will re- cuire years before producing and, unless we have been misinformed, the quality of rubber to be se- cured from the wiids of Braz] inferior is WHIPPING THE U-BOATS When the war began in the experts dis- counted Germany's submarine campalgn against Great Britain, largely upon the experience of the first World War during which the convoy system was per- fected nereased losses sity of dealing with stood that iis Jraviiy vessels 1 and pa 1 ships menace be ht not be out of the of the British N Due to the disarmament. folly, the Bi: sh fleet was In no conditic lantic lanes and to preserve the Mediterrs Consequent- ly, British merchant shippi take a beating It is ! wer upon what to be tanks, gun are Europe, however, emphasized the neces- peril, Naval experts under- was di ie lack of patrol t in the to the ane be cons Strix congquere d. ved tha could 1 attention to » war began plight n to keep open comi seems competent that 1d planes riving at art mmol 1 Science Mr fied I 1 Atlan using a convoy ha bee Ta Te lied 19th sight more than commercial si Readers ¢ route pas i r.

These three now have a chance to show that they are betler men than Der Puehrer. The Berlin boss has had many unhappy moments with his Junker generals. They argued against the march into the Rhineland, his intervention in Spain, his pact with Russia. But he overruled them Event- ually they came to regard him as “prescient” al- though he calls his military faculty an “intuitive gift.” They protested bitterly on the Soviet but they were still under the spell of his earlier triumphs, They obeyed grumblingly. His October 2nd insistence that they try to take Leningrad, Moscow and Rostov angered them. They advised a winter dig-in on the Smolensk-Odessa-Kiev line, and subsequently urged him not to declare war on the United States; to let the Japs and ourselves fight it out alone, On both points he refused to listen to the military. Now he is the sole commander and the Russian campaign is his “baby”, In a sense he has staked his reputation on iis success Should it result in a major debacle, it may lead to his overthrow, The Allied leaders are determined to win this psycho- logical struggle, if possible. The high stakes at issue explain why Messrs, Roosevelt and Churchill still regard Russia as the major battlefield LIVELY S— WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT GOAT MILK (By Goat Owners’ Association) Coat milk is almost pure white in color and the fat globules small in size. The cream rises slowly and nev- er completely to the top, however it can be removed by the use of a good cream separator. The fat con- tent varies from three to over five per cent. The small fat particles are believed to be more readily digested and the curd of goat milk is finer and more flocculent permiting more rapid penetration of the digestive juices. For general use such as drink- ing, cooking and in tea and coffee, the milk is very satisfactory.
