Ere, reads which recently DECISIVE BATTLES OF 1942 LOOM AHEAD The Red Army, so often “snnihilated” in Ger man communiques, will end its frst year of war In the latter part of June, on the 22nd, the anniversary of Hitler's surprise invasion of Russia Despite great territorial gains, the Nazi were utterly unable to accomplish the purpose of thelr campaign, the destruction ol Slavic military power Today the Russians are better prepared for a Summer of war than in 1941 Even Hitler, in January Spoke of the ‘four months” of horrible Winter in Russia. He then predicted, however, that when the ground became firm, the Nazis would "move onward.” Four months have elapsed but, except for a victory in the Kerch Peninsula, Der Fuehrer has found little comfort on he Eastern battlefront armies urmys Taunts wag delayed In Yugoslavia and “Time Is Passing,” Churchill st against Russia complete the conquest of his year, time Is passing as Churchill t the Nazi offensive has been slow to get that German weakened the Nazi repairs VELL drive barely possible heavy Russian Compelling campaign considerable neouraging because took the worst that Timo- a single nation the Nazis could give and then asked for shenko's Kharkov to anticipate the Ni fTensive dos not more attack an even of designed werk either in power or In mors Our Morale Takes “Bad Neww” we 'y) week during the past Lie Idabie 8. prod implement the y" sy8 Morale in the United States has news” in stride, reacting exces taken ively, perhaps nph latively u } England and the United State atience Cargo Ships Must Precede Attack ie eed * AArpians already apoarent - ’ the raid : AR aH APU Lie rapa Uli ith battleships = he backbone of future fleet they will with carrier-based airpiadie New act Ale DENE naval mform to the veloped and sried “FOR A BETTER WORLD" f 3 ORINKE Was Feely wi States and not in worn of the world Inited which do not bring apportunities they are lusiong approximate a consider- over the ideas of many big business men at the time of the great depression.

He warned the bankers that “the handwriting is on the wall” and said We either must cut the cloth to that patlern or the reformers and demagogues will” OUR NAVAL STRENGTH GROWING Americans should be encouraged by evidence of increasing naval strength Our new ‘warships are gradually beginning to affect the strategy of the Japanese war and this is important, As Raymond Clapper says, before we can hope to wage effective land campaigns we must regain superiority on the sess and possess bases vital to our supply routes When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor the United States was “building a fleet much larger than its existing units, This explaing why Japan could not deiay her effort As of Pearl Harbor the United States had 17 battleships, 7 carriers, 37 cruisers, 178 destroyers and 117 submarines. We were “building 15 battleships, 11 carriers, 54 cruisers, 192 destroyers and 71 sub- marines, Other warships have been added to this program. Losses admitted, up to May 7, included only 2 battleships, 1 cruiser, 8 destroyers and 3 submga- rines The naval strength of Japan was a mystery, The nine battleships of the disarmament treaty vere augmented, It js believed, by five others, In cruisers the Japs were ahead of us but we had more de. stroyers and possibly, submarines, In carriers the Japanese stole a march on the world and surpris- ing strength in this category has been a major fae. tory in Japanese successes, The steady expansion of Japanese offensives present heavier responsibilities, The Jap fleet must guard Japan and safeguard the sea routes to Aus- tralia and India, as well as protect island bases that stand as sentinels in the Pacific, | THE Orrice Cal “A Little Nonsense Now and Then, Is Relished by the Wisest Men” LOUISA’S LETTER To Virginia You forgot Lo sign your name - You were very much oi vd the way Modest Adam ed Now Adam was the first 1 really do believe; He lived in the Garden of Eden With a wife by the name of Eve Lo husband about did your work, et to look upon, Well, my advice to and danced was made of Nig Adam’ — YOUr husoana isler treat You tid you Nice Ww her but uted Linnie she had « seemed WW despise you you tried man every your Now Ew All day she Her skirt Aud 50 were was fal Sag ¢ | 5 as little us possibile leaves If there | family pants vou havi so bashful have as ll face to the wall possi that In the autumn fail Now Adam wa He turned his For he Knew I'he leave were sure Ww * 4 Reverie buyer for a matires factory wa business trip.
