around beer. But the weeds-well
they've got to be pulled out, too.
Everybody has to lend a hand.
And the brewing industry is just
sensible enough to recognize that
:. But what's more-they're do
ing something about it.
The brewers don't want their
beer sold in the wrong kind of
places, and so they've teamed up
with the authorities in a self
regulation program to make care
less beer retailers "clean up or
close up" as they say.
From what I read, the plan is
working cut mighty successful in
a number of states, and is spread
in out into others.
From where ] sit, it looks like a
fine idea -. a mighty practical ex-
ample of how honest cooperation
works out to the benefit of every
one-the brewers, the beer retail
ers, and US plain citizens that like
our gardens and our pleasures
with the weeds kept out.

MANILA:
Major Thrust

The good news from Russia and
Libya had been rather offset by the
Heterogeneous and losses of the
Far Eastern campaign, and it had
become evident that the Japanese
attack on the Philippines had been
slowly but steadily growing in in
tensity.
Then came the report that 30
transports Of Japanese troops had
been sighted off the coast between
the port Of Lingayen ard Manila.
These thousands of soldiers meant
that the long-expected invasion Of
the Philippines was under way.
u. S. land, sea and air forces then
began their defense against this ma
jor battle force of Japan.
Lingayen was called by military
experts the gateway to Manila"
and because of this strong defen-
sive force was thrown into action
to defend it. First reports told of
the United States forces holding
their own" One unconfrmed report
told of the sinking of at least one
Japanese troop transport.
A landing on Davao made the
fourth spot in the islands on which
the Japanese had gained at least
temporary foothold.
The Davao landing became the
potentially greatest menace against
Manila, because it was on the near
by island Of Mindanao, largely in
habited by Japanese and japanese
sympathizers.
A hotbed of fifth columnist activ-
ity, Davao had been editorially

the manner in which military opera
tons, economic and political war
aims were linked.
Berlin circles discounted theories
from other world capitals that Won
Brauchitsch was dismissed because
of the tie-up resulting from the Rus
sian campaign. But Hitler did say
that ''the present war Is now enter
ing upon new and favorable stage
for us. We are now facing a deci-
sion of worldwide Importance.
Germany's task until spring, he
pointed out, was to hold and defend
with fanaticism'' what they had
already gained.

SUBMARINES:
Versus Submarines

Almost simultaneously with re-
ports from our navy Of the sinking
Of at least two Japanese vessels by
our own submarines, and the ex-
pressed belief that the navy was
beginning the long process Of block
aiding japanese shipping came re-
ports Of attacks by Jap submarines
on our shipping along the California
coast.
Three vessels had been reported
attacked, one escaping and one ap-
parently being hit, though the fate
Of the third was not at once clear.
Two of them were oil tankers, the
Emidio and the Agriworld. The
latter vessel was said to have es-
capped and the former to have been
hit and to have sent out an SOS.
The navy was not telling the world
where its submarines were moving
about, but Japan admitted about 100
U. S. undersea boats" were operat-
ing in waters close to Japan and
that their shipping was being men

MEDITERRANEAN:
Winter Theater?

Viewed as natural sequel to the
practical cessation Of the Nazi WIN
ter effort against Russia, and the
desire of the Germans to get out of
Russia this winter with what of their
skins they can salvage, the best bet
of the military observers had been
that the Mediterranean would be the
next theater of war
There was early evidence that de-
spite the fact that the Germans were
on the run in Libya, hundreds of
planes had been sent there from

break of the war, because Luzon
jewellers regarded 1t as the chief
fifth-column threat.
The landing there was believed to
have been engineered with the aid
of treachery from within. The
American troops gave battle to the
invaders, but no claims Of immedi-
ate victory were made, and the land
ing was said to have been Sin con-
siderable force"
At the three points on Luzon, how
ever, the United States and Filipino
soldiers were holding the Japs at a
standstill, and General Macarthur
declared the situation under con-
troll at all times.

LIBYA:
Bright Spot

Another bright spot in the war re-
ports had been the British North
African campaign, which had sud-
denly gone into high gear, and there
began to be a repetition of the pre-
vious British campaign, which swept
across Cyrenaica almost to the
doors of Tripoli, and resulted in the
taking of an estimated 100000 pris-
oners.
This time it was not the Italians,
but the Germans, who were fleeing
across the desert North African
plains along the coast, with the Brit
ish in hot pursuit.
General RommePs famous tank
divisions, battered and broken, were
jamming the roads toward Bengasi,
chief German-Ital1an landing spot
for supplies, having abandoned Der

EVIDENCE:
On Russian Front

Both returning American newspa-
per observers and dispatches from
Berlin itself began to hurl the heavy
weight of evidence back Of the facts
that Russia had been informing the
world about the inroads the weather
was making on German strength
and ability to fight and as to the
defeat the Nazi armies were suffer-
ing.
Two Berlin dispatches had told,
first in the Volkischer Beobachter,
Hitler's own newspaper, that the
Russians are equal to us as fight
ers and under some conditions su-
perior"; and, second, that the Ger
man soldiers were suffering terribly
from the cold.
The second instance was given to
the world by Goebbels himself, in
opening a campaign, 'house to
house and apartment to apartment"
to collect warm clothing, particular
ly furs, for the men on the Russian
front.
Goebbels had said, in part:
1--WE have done all to equip the
army for winter. But winter came
too early. Our soldiers will still lack
much.
1--WE must prevent German SOL
diers from suffering the winter in
Norway, Russia or elsewhere.
1.-The front wants everything the
Fatherland can give for defense
against this winter which set in so
early, earlier than usual"

watching the German retreat, of the

SHORTAGES:
Looming IL, u. S.

In addition to the tire rationing
which was imminent, and the tire
prohibition which preceded it, the
government saw other shortages
looming in 1912
Among them, it was said, would
be shortage Of electric power. Such
lack, it was declared, seemed
practically certain in 1912 and 1943"
in soma sections Of the country, in
Guiding the Southeast, the South
west, the Pacific coast and part Of
the Middle West.
Householders were warned to be
parsimonious in their use Of cleo
tricity.
Blackouts Of all non-essential
lighting, including many store signs,
were predicted.

HONCKONC:
sSacrifciap

A band Of British and Hindu and
Canadian defenders of Hongkong
were termed 'sacrifcial garrison"
in dispatches telling Of the last-ditch
fight to hold the island stronghold
at the north end Of the China sea.
Chief hope Of the defenders rest
ed on the Chinese, and oddly enough
the Chinese were the chief menace
to the defenders.
Bearing out the former statement,
the Chinese soldiers were driving
southwark from the East river, past
Tamshui and Pingshan, within few
miles Of the rear Of the Japanese
who had occupied Taipo and Kow-
loon on the Hongkong mainland side.
That this attack would be success
full and divert enough Japanese pow
er from the Hongkong front to
change defeat into victory for the
British was the chief hope Of the
defenders.
Bearing out the second statement
was the fact that several hundred
thousand Chinese refugees from the
mainland, having no other direction
in which to fee. had gone over the
haf-mile Of water to Hongkong,
where they were jamming the al
ready crowded island and seriously
menacing supplies Of food, water
and shelter.
These refugees were regarded as
almost equal in endangering the de-
Tending garrison as were the JAP
anese guns and bayonets.

Willkie lunched with the President,
and since couple of other jobs that
were open were not rendered to
him.
Those closest to the President be-
Ieved he had a most prominent
place reserved in his mind for Will
kie.
In fact, informants as to the Presi-
dents plans named the following
as probable members of a fve-man
board which would plan the war eff
fort:
Willkie.
Rear Admiral Leahy, minister to
Vichy, former head of the navy, for
