that the rescuing and hberatlng
armies and air forces appear IN
strength within their bounds.
For this purpose, it is lmpera-
tive that no nation or region over
run, that no government or state
which has been conquered, should
relax its moral and physical efforts
and preparation for the day Of de-
liverance. The invaders, be they
Germans or Japanese, must every
where be regarded as infected per-
sons, TO be summed and isolated
as far as possible.
Where active resistance is impos-
sible. passive resistance must be
maintained. The invaders and tyr
ants must be made to feel that their
f1eeting triumphs will have terrible
reckoning. and that they are hunted
men. and that they are counting
doom. Particular punishment will be
reserved for the Quislings and trail
tors who make themselves the tools
of the enemy. They will be handed
over to the judgment of their fellow
countrymen.
Third Phase of War.
Sir, there is a third phase which

and the action of the enemy may at
every stage affect our fortunes.
Moreover, sir, you will notice that
I have not attempted to assign any
time limit to the various stages:
these time limits depend upon our
exertions and upon our achieve
ments and on the hazardous and
uncertain course of the war. Never
theless, feel it is right at this
moment to make it clear that while
an ever-increasing bombing offen-
sive against Germany will remain
one of the principal methods by
which we hope to bring the war to
an end, it is by no means the only
method which our growing strength
now enables us to take into account.
Evidently the most strenuous ex-

A resolve to serve nutritious and
attractive meals during the coming
year will be at the top Of the list of
many homemakers' resolution. Serv-
ing a standing rib roast of beef on
New Year Day is really evidence
OF your good intentions. A standing
rib roast supplies excellent quality
protein, much needed minerals and
the B vitamins we hear so much
about. It's popularity is proof that
its attractiveness in flavor, aroma
and appearance is not surpassed.
STANDING RIB ROAST.
Select a two or three rib roast. A
standing rib roast can be carved
more easily if the backbone is sep
arated from the ribs by saving
across the ribs close to and parallel
to the backbone. The backbone may
be removed completely after roasting.
Season the rib roast with salt and
pepper and place fat side up in an
open roasting pan No rack is neces-
sary as the bones keep the meat out
of the juices. Do not cover; do not
add water. Insert meat thermom-
eter SO that the bulb reaches the

careful that the bulb does not rest
on fat or bone. Put in a slow oven

more than a certain amount OF
some commodity. Granted that
this does not indicate shortage, nee

can buy at one time is ample for
average needs, the fact that such
restriction does exist, after all the
reassurances against it, does little
to increase her confidence or ability
to plan we'll for the good Of her
household.
She is urged to save, and save
to buy the cheapest cuts of meat,
and the least expensive vegetables,
which, most likely, she has been
doing all along. At the same time,
she is told that now, as never before,
must her family be fed properly,
with a balanced diet that has been
hard to achieve in times of lower
prices. and are well nigh out of the
question in these days of rising food
costs. Directions for keeping with
in the budget, and serving meals
fit for a king are to be found in
nearly every newspaper aud maga-
zine, but the majority must, OF
necessity, be so general in character
that they are not as helpful as they
should be. Press releases from
various Government agencies, de-
signed to give further assistance
along these lines, usually reach the
consumers world weeks too late to
cope with the changes that have
occurred since they were first com
piled.
Other muddles for the housewife
have been the blackout instructions.
Every day in every way she finds
them different There seem to be
as many schools of thought on the
subject as there are people to eX-
pound them, and by the time the
woman who is earnestly trying to

the safety of her own home and of

to use blankets or old quilts; she is
told blankets and old quilts are not
lightproof. She is assured that OIL
cloth is excellent-and then warned
about causing a rush on blackout
materials.
And so it goes-in more instances
than we have space in which to
print them. She is deluged with
directions for getting the most out
of her furnace-some directions so
elaborate that the average tired old
furnace would fall apart in horror
at the mere approach of the indig-
mites suggested. She is eXhorted to
work longer and harder than ever
to take care of the familys health,
the equipment of the home, and In
protecting the home against possible
raids. At the same time she is being

Mother, I'd like to form a club for

Thereu just be six of us and weu

Please let her-and him, too. When
children are changing over from
childhood to adolescence they feel
the need of a more intimate associa-
ton with their own kind and they
tend to form clubs for various good
causes. Or just for fun. Let them do
so because in this way they will
gather valuable experiences.
But they can't do anything.
What's the use Of their organizing
and holding meetings? Who's going
to listen to them? They'll get to-

thing, but they'll just fuss around" I"
That's all right, too. In fussing
around they'll learn things that
won't show on the surface, but will
help them in their thinking and in
their behavior. They are making an
approach to life that is as necessary
to their mental and physical health
as their other kinds of play. This is
a more grown-up kind of play, that's
all.
The children are not expected to
show important results to the COM
munity's leaders. They are to be
allowed experiences that in time will
mature them for adult work
Boys at this age like to form clubs

connotations now, but once it had a

as good as ever it was for the growth
of small boys into larger ones. The
girls like to form clubs for reform

Both ought to be encouraged.
In an older generation the chill

Sunday school leader, or social

naval men that whenever the situation
in Europe would justify further move
by the Japanese, they would not hesitate
to make it, fell upon deaf ears in political
and diplomatic quarters in Washington.
The optimistic view that as long as you
feed the leopard he won't bite prevailed
in these circles and while we sometimes
spoke sternly to the japanese in public
utterances, we failed to conform to our
talk in our actions. The military point
of view is that as soon as the japanese
are ready to move they will do so regard
less of how much business there is at
stake: but this theory has been dis
regarded.
When the Germans blitZed Russia
successfully in the first three weeks
the japanese decided to rush their forces
southwards and establish military, naval
and air bases in Indo-China and Thai
land. 1t was as clear as daylight that
the occupa ton of these sections of Asia
was only a preparatory move for an at
tack against the Dutch East Indies and
the Straits Settlements as soon as Russia
caved in and Germany began her main
attack in Western Europe, and the United
States was compelled to move an i'm
portant portion of her fleet from the
Pacific to the Atlantic.
All Hinged on Russia.
The Russians fooled everybody-espe-
cially the Japanese. Their resistance to
the German bIitz has been remarkable
and has upset the calculations of the
Toxic government. If the Russians can
prolong their resistance for another
month or so it is unlikely that the United
States will have to remove any impor-
tant units from the Pacific. But it is too
late for the Toxic rulers to withdraw.
The cumbersome military machinery has
been set in motion and it is impossible
to stop 1t.
The result of the occupation of the
rest of Indo-China, with its vital naval
and air bases which are direct menace
to the Philippines and Singapore, brought
a drastic reaction in Washington and
London. Economic sanctions which are
estimated to be able to cripple Japan
WlCnln less tIldIl year WcIc uilllculdtcly
imposed.
Japan retaliated, although Toxic knew
that it's retaliation could not work any
serious hardships on either the United
States or Britain. But the very same
day that the retaliatory measures were
announced by the Toxic government, the
representative of the Japanese govern
ment in Washington, Admiral Nomura,
told the State Department that if we
are willing to make the economic en-
barge less effective, Toxic would see
that the same thing was done from the
other side. The stringent regulations
could remain in force as long as under
a license system Japan could continue
to purchase goods in the United States.
The Dutch economic sanctions hurt more
than anything else. But Toxic figured
that If America and Britain relented on
the application of the sanctions the gov-
ernment of Batavia was bound to follow
suit.
In considering relaxation of the strict
rules by a system of licenses, the Gov
ernment is still looking forward to catch
ing a bird by putting salt on Its tail.
The check of the German armies in Rus
sia must have given the Japanese food
