Preparedness Means Sacrifice

Scarcely single voice dissens the United States
launches into vast military preparedness program.
The bitter lessons driven home each week. each day,
each hour in Europe are being learned at last.
The United States has not sought this For 20 years

in the country. To fail to recognize this truth and face
squarely is TO weaken the armament effort itself.
How did Germany succeed in building its uncanniy-
effective military machine? BY sacrifice. By guns in
stead of butter BY putting half of everything the German
people produced into the building of the machine and max
ing them live on the rest and like it.
Because the United States is richer that is has more
productive facilities it ought to be necessary for
60 that far But the principle is the sameit is all mat
ter of degree
Production and productive facilities be greatly in
creased. The wage-hour act the Wash-Healy act and
taken increase the standard of living of
workers already being attacked by army officers.
France and England had to etson the short work week

suffer a sharp reduction in ousi-
ness.
The official explanation is that
American ports are not shroud-
ed in the same sort Of secrecy
that prevails at Montreal. Hall
fax and Quebec. A seemingly
more logical reason is London's
expectation that Hitler will soon
unleash his threatened air and
submarine attack against the
British Isles. especially the ship
ping lanes. Facilities for form
ing conveys are more available
in Canada than along the At
lantic coast.
Certain officials here private

example of the sort of squeeze
that has been imposed upon
American agriculture by the
allies failure to buy foodstuffs

noted that some official and un-
official tempers here are rising.
and would not object 10 adding
a little monetary momentum.
American military men credit
General Maxine Weygand with
the execution of an amazing feat
of arms in the present operations
in Northern France. II he extri-
Gates the entrapped armies and
forces the Germans back. or even
if he can change the conflicts
character from one of movement
to position. it will be one Of the
miracles of war annals.
The French did not expect the
enemy to deliver a large-scale
attack in this area. and were
utterly unprepared for it from
a strategic standpoint. They
lacked supply and communica-
ton lines on this front, also bases
for the storage of vast volumes
of the stuff of modern warfare.
Hitler. however. knew just where
he was going to operate, and
was able to make the most mi
mute preparations.
Weygand's problem was TO
rush material-blankets, shoes,
food, medical apparatus. guns,
tanks, artillery-in there in an
about-face maneuver that had
to be carried out during actual
combat.
Luckily, Weygand is a finer
tactician than he is a strategist.
And in the present battle rag
ing around the channel ports
there is no strategy-only tao
tics. The difference is that STRAIT
egg consists of longtime PLAN
ming, whereas tactics involve the
life-and-death. military move
ment of the moment.

THE PU BLIC
TIPS ON HOW To
EAT STRAWBERRIES

Editor The Times: The proph-
ct Hosea said, Thus saith
Jehovah-my people are de-
stroyed for lack of knowledge.
Strawberries now being plenti-
full. permit me to impart "knowl-
edge" pertaining to the food
value of this delicious fruit.
The denatured, devitalized. de-
mineralized foods eaten by most
people are very deficient in the
alkaline elements, iron, calcium,
sodium and silicon which are alb
solutely necessary for normal
health-physically, mentally and
spiritually.
Only one other fruit-our ma
tive wild blackberry-excels in
organic iron; only the lemon
excels in calcium. and the to-
mato exeels in sodium. In sill
con. strawberries excel all other
fruits.
II people ate enough straw
berries. emitting sugar and
white flour ghost foods. many
chronic ills would be eliminated.
But when I say TO eat straw
berries, l do not mean straw
berry = ( vored sugar and
starches. To get best results, go
out into the garden, while the
morning dew is yet on, pick and
eat just the same as if you were
in the Garden of Eden. When
strawberries or more other
fruits are eaten in combina ton
with other foods it should be
with cheese, nuts or meat. Re
fined sugar breaks down the
beneficial effects OF mineral con-
tents OF Strawberries.
II eating strawberries causes
hives. just rinse the berries with
hot water before eating. Straw
berries as well as other fruits
should be well ripened in the
suns RAYS to develop the nat
ural fruit sugars.

Trip Reveals Many
Fertile Plateaus


GONE time ago there appeared
~ in this column a series of ref
erences to the beginning of street
car operation in Tacoma. The
story covered the period from
the first horse cars on Pacific
avenue to the reorganization
which put Allen c. Mason's
steam dummy" to Point Def
ance and the electric lines into
one operation. In everal respects
the story was incomplete, es-
pecially where personnel was
concerned. For instance. there
was Billy" White, who drove a
horse car on Pacific avenue and
was a member Of the crew that
operated Tacoms's first electric
trolley cars. Only few persons
remem bered BILLY" and nobody
knew what had become Of him.
The other day while scout
ing around the northeast part
of Washington on anotler
mission we found billy"
White at CurIew. a little spot
by the side of the road in the
Colyille Indian reservation
few miles from the Canadian
border. He Is now commits
sioner OF Ferry county from
that district and one Of the
county's leading citizens.
