Above All Things This
FELLOW Vas al, Optinlist

A contractor borrowed a badly
worn car from a friend for an
emergency trip. With an en-
ployee he set out.
A little way down the road he
noticed the brake did not work.
After another mile they were
rolling down a smooth road toward
a bridge. A glance showed a six
foot gap between the bridge and
the bank. Viciously he pulled at
the emergency brake, only to find
that it did not work. Then he
discovered that the gas pedal had
jammed down.
Turning to his companion, he re-
marked cheerfully: "Wel, here's
hoping the gas gives out!"

JAPAN GETS AVIATION FUEL

JAPAN uC 40 nv A<A4AO~S $500
The new iron and steel scrap en-
barge finally shut off one of Japan's
key military supplies.
But through a loophole as big as
a barn door, Japan had been able,
despite this supposedly stringent
embargo, to obtain all the U. 5. gas
it needs for the bombers that are
raining death and destruction on
helpless Chinese cities and villages.
This loophole is the little-noticed pro-
vision that limits the embargo only
to a certain super-grade of gas-87
octane and over.
This type of fuel is essential for
modern aerial warfare. Without it
planes are not able to attain the
great speeds necessary in dog fights
and raids such as take place night
and day over Britain.
IL But Japan is not up against that
kind of battling. Its bombers and
fighter planes face no aerial opposi-
tion.s. They have the skies to them
selves. They don't need super-gas.
They can do just as well on lower
octane fuel. Their job is no differ
ent than an ordinary transport
planes. They haul out a load of
bombs, dump it and fly back.
The story is told in the following
unpublished government figures. In
the month after the imposition of the
so-called embargo, Japan imported
from the United States 1871, 026 bar
rels of lower grade gasoline, or more
than 20 per cent of all such exports
during that period.
