workers were drawn from agricultural
work for the armed forces and for work
in vital armament industies. Many of
these have since been replaced by pris-
oners of war, but their productive output
is said to be much less than that of the
average German, largely because of hate
for their conquerors.
Growing requirements of the German
military machine have left smaller than
normal quantities of iron and steel as
well as gasoline and other fuels for farm
tractors and harvesting machinery.
These shortages, together with a with
drawal of many draft animals from
farms for army use, has adversely affect
ed production.
Reports state that the most serious
wartime difficulty is shortage of phos-
phoric acid fertilizer. Germany as we'll
as most of her neighbors have been de-
pendent upon the United States and
Africa for nearly 80 per cent of their vital
phosphoric fertilizer requirements. These
sources have been cut off by the block

the other war, little attention was given

Battle of the Atlantic

At 9:23 pm. Friday the Senate voted,
so to 81, in favor of the two amendments
to the Neutrality Act that erase the
statutory prohibitions against arming
American merchant vessels and against
sending those vessels into combat waters.
The House is expected to approve both
changes this week

According to the Navy Minister ot
Canada, Angus Macdonald, German sub
marines are deep in the waters of the
New World-"within sight of the shore
of Newfoundland. The British Admiralty
on Tuesday gave some idea of the scope
of it's anti-submarine warfare by an
nouncing that 1875 officers and men
had been captured by the British from
German and italian submarines. This
led to the calculation that between 180
and 100 submarines have been destroyed

START RAID SERIES IN WEST, WELLS URGES
British Writer Comedies Loreescoe Impractical

Recognizing the importance OF
Joseph Stains demand for tUo-
front 1Oar, H. G. Wells explains his
theory OF hoeD this diversion might be
created. In a previous article, Mr..
Wells declared the British should
undertake an dH-out inUdSion of the
continent against the Germans to
help Russia. NolD the British nouel-
iSt and historian changes his stand
by conceding the present lmpos-
sibility OF tull-scale inUaSion and
recommending q series OF raids by
small groups OF specially trained SOL
diers.
LONDON, Nov. CBy Radio Mill
tary authorities have decided very wisely
that a full-scale invasion of the conti-
nent, If only to relieve pressure on Rus
sia, Is impossible at the present time,
Notwithstanding Joseph Stains plea for
q Western front in his recent speech.
The authorities declare they will not
yield to popular clamor in this matter,
and there is really no popular clanor
in the matter so they may rest secure
and satisfied in their dugouts, bureaus
and so forth. In this resolution they
have not only the enthusiastic support of
such organs of public opinion as Truth
and the Daily Telegraph, but the general
agreement of the country.
Nevertheless, certain number of
people, including Mr.. Stain, are in
elined to question whether dignified alb
stinence from large-scale warfare upon
the immense Western front the Nazis
expose to us eXhausts the possibilities
of the occasion.
Army Wants Action.
Let me state certain obvious things
that might be done to the detriment of
Jerry at the present time without put
ting any serious strain on our senior
military authorities. For the sake of
brevity I will write as though I was in
control of the whole of our war, but as
matter Of fact, what have to say is the
outcome of very considerable amount
of discussion with my better-informed
betters.
First, then, there are at the present
time in this country hundreds of fresh
minded, brilliant young soldiers under
40, who are being bored to death by
sham fighting and tedious inaction, who
would give their eyes for chance OF
immediate outright fighting and re-
sponsibility, If only to show their quality
before it rusts. And the country is in
urgent need of finding out these young
soldiers who are to take over our mill
tary affairs in the days ahead.
Secondly, there is that tempting Nazi
Western front from the Arctic to the
tropics to have a smack at.
So let us invite these young soldiers to
submit plans as soon as possible for the
raids they would like to make. Let us
suppose that one of them states that he
knows q particular part OF the Norwegian
coast like the back of his hand; that he
speaks Norwegian and has friends there
and 50 forth. He is Number One. That
said Is to be his job. He will be sent

On Monday Secretary of State Hull
disclosed that the Soviets had offered to
discuss a separate peace
FinIond's with Finland. At the same
Position time he warned that Fin
land would lose American
friendship unless at once she discon-
tinued offensive warfare against Russia.
Later in the week the State Department
explained that American efforts to in
duce Finland to cease offensive warfare
IN Russia are aimed solely at preventing
the Firms from going so far as to make
themselves allies of Hitler in the general
war which the State Department thinks,
threatens the safety of the United States
and other countries. The American
Government, Secretary Hull said, still
awaits an answer from Finland to the
American warning.
