Kettering, of Genera] Motors, has received more than 104.430 inventive suggestions. The ideas of individuals, who think that their devices may win the war, have been carefully studied and considered by Army, Navy and other officials, More than 4500 inventions were “worthy of serious consideration.” Dr. Kettering reports that the invention most often submitted as a war-winning device is the same for this war as in the last war—a net or screen to protect ships from torpedoes, Thousands of varia- tions do not meet the problem and none has received the approval of the Navy Department or the Mer- chant Marine. The Inventors’ Council was established by Harry Hopkins, when he was Secretary of Commerce, It serves as a clearing house for ideas submitted by any individual, giving assurance that the “invention” submitted will not be stolen if it is practical, | AXIS REPORTS ARE PROPAGANDA The people of this country should not pay much attention to war news that originates in Berlin, Tokyo or Rome, While there is no censorship to pre- vent these broadcasts from reaching the United States, the record of past events has shown them to be entirely untrustworthy An example is the recent broadeast from Berlin, asserting that 38 out of 45 ships in a convoy to Rus- sin were sunk and that six naval vessels were de- stroyed at the same time. London admits that an un- disclosed mumbey of vessels was sunk The British are handicapped because they will not give out the complete detalls of the engagement This helps the enemy but the British Admiralty says that Berlin's claims about the convoy were “even more exaggerated” than usual The same observation applies to communiques broadcast from Tokyo. The Japanese have repeated- ly claimed the destruction of the United States fleet, even ronan cing Coral Sea and Midway as Japan- victories.

If we fail. if we falter. the outlook can change and our prospect can become dismal In the Far East the Japs have been halted. They may strike again but their initial advantages have been overcome by the brilliant campaign of attrition that has gradually reduced their striking power It is necessary, however, that conquered areas be recaptured. This means fighting and plenty of it but the prospect of victory, as a result of sacrifice and courage, grows brighter. idea that the tht prov we war and stand frp LOT U. S. SUBS HURT JAPS American submarines have inflicted serious loss- es upon the Japanese fleet, sinking seventeen war- ships up to September 21, and damaging twenty ad. ditional vessels. In addition, our submarines, in the same period, sunk fifty-six Japanese merchant ships and damaged sixteen others The significance of these losses becomes appar ent when we consider that Japan is an island coun- try. dependent upon shipping for her existence. Even food for the Japanese people must be imported and, in addition, the raw materials for her industries come largely in the holds of cargo ships. American submarine warfare against Japan is just getting underway, with new submarines joining in the operations that cover the waters of the Tar East. Bo far, two of our submarines have been lost but the threat they make against the Japanese is probably more dangerous than that of the German U-boats against Anglo-American shipping, The good work of our submarines since Pearl Harbor has been supplemented by the destruction caused by our aircraft. American planes have vigor- ously attacked Japanese shipping, inflicting losses which seriously interfere with Tokyo's consolidation of territorial gains in the Far Bast Donald M_ Nelson, while warning that we must do a better job, says that “our 1042 war production effort promises to exceed by a considerable margin that of Axis Europe. Studies indieate that our rate of production already has caught up with and passed that of Axis Europe, although the Axis had the benefit of a big headstart. | duck, ond wh ome malin +0 A 4 J ER a TR ’/ 3 pledge allegua nel 10 the fA 7 of the Ur uled lal AR 4 lo thi seu bli Io ) mdi site , + MA Wd SO | fot alk THE Orricre Can “A Little Nonsense Now and Then, Is Relished by the Wisest Men” Twice Told Tale ix * be © 9 According to Emily Post won] off the pi of bw Inquirer What it should : proper thing rteous.
