OPEN LETTER.:
To the Jdps

Tokyo papers please copy"
It didn't actually read that way
but the idea. was the same, for the
open letter by Mohandas K. Gandhi
which appeared in his magazine,
Harlan, was aimed directly at the
Japanese. And if Tokyo bothered to
read it, this is what they learned:
make no mistake about the fact
that you (meaning JAPAN will be
sadly disillusioned if you believe you
will receive willing welcome from
India"
Further, the Japs were told that
they had "been gravely misin-
formed that we have chosen this
particular moment to embarrass the
Allies when your attack is imminent.
If we wanted to turn Britain's diff
ficulty into our opportunity, we
should have done it as soon as the
war broke out"
Also for the benefit of the Japa-
nese, the Indian leader outlined the
aims of his All-India Congress par
ty with respect to their objective of
independence, as preparation "to re-
sist all militarist and imperialist
ambition, whether it be British i'm
perialism, German Naziism, or
your pattern"

SYNTHETIC RUBBER:
Congress Takes q Hand

In a congressional effort to solve
the synthetic rubber production tan
gle, members of the house and SEN
ate passed the Gillette bill creating
the Rubber Supply agency, which
would control that portion of the
program dealing with agricultural
or forest products.
Rubber production from petro-
leum would remain under direction
of the War Production board. I'm
der provisions of the bill all author
ity over synthetic rubber plants
using agricultural commodities as
raw material would be taken away
from Donald M. Nelson, WPB chair
man.
In its final form, the bill requires
WPB, the army, navy or any other
agency to deliver critical materials
for use in constructing or operating
alcohol rubber plants upon certifca-
ton from the director of the Rub
Der Supply agency, and grants the
agency blanket priority lover all
deliveries of similar articles or ma
terials for private account

WAGES:
ShOuU Increase

Figures released by Frances Per-
kins, secretary of labor, disclosed
that the average hourly earnings of
workers in manufacturing industries
rose is per cent from April to May,
and the May average of 1871 cents
per hour was 14.5 per cent higher
than a year ago. The increase was
held due to overtime, expansion of
working forces in high wage scale
industries and to wage-rate in
creases.
Chairman Davis of the National
War Labor board said that man.
days worked in June were an esti-
mated 275, 900, 900 as against 242, OOo,-
600 in May.
Man-days lost from war produc-
ton by strikes were 254, 1853 in June
coo per cent? compared to 1877 800
COG per cent? in May.
Wayne L. Morse, public member
of the NWLB, told ALL and CIO
Representatives that drastic action
will be taken against anyone in any
labor organization that tries to bring
about stoppage of work over juris-
dictional disputes.

SHIPPINC:
Highest Level

One week last month merchant
ship sinkings rose to the highest
level since the beginning of the war
and also greatly exceeded new con-
struction."
This brought from the War Ship
ping administration a limit on ship
ping space to "cargo essential to the
prosecution of the war" This action
was expected to increase substan-
tally the cargo space for the United
Nations military requirements.
VISA also reported "the several
different fleets of the United Nations
are combining their operations as
compliments to each other for war
purposes" with the Combined Ship
ping Adjustment board directing
shipping in the various pools.
A definite shortage of trained sea-
men is reported because of the sire
mendous wartime expansion of our
merchant shipping |"

Telling time in the Navy is on

are from one to twelve, but after
noon hours are from 1900 to 24O0

PRODUCTIONS:
Greater Increases

While the Joint War Production
Committee of the U. S. and Canada
was reporting that the annual rate
of munitions production in the U. S.
for the second quarter of 1912 was
nearly four times that of 1941, il
was also announced that Canadian
production was almost three times
the 1941 rate, and even greater in
creases are scheduled.
A report covering the first halt
year of the boards activity in CO.
ordinating joint production outlined
steps taken to increase war output
by eliminating Implications, increas-
ing the number of common type
weapons, arranging more rapid ex-
change of supplies, breaking trans
portation bottlenecks, eliminating
tariff and other barriers and pro-
noting full exchange of information
on production methods and designs.

ECYPT'S WAR:
Nazis Dig In

A lull in the desert war saw Ger
man troops digging in on the front
rs miles west of Alexandria, from
Ell Alamein to the Quattara de-
preston.
A communique from Cairo an
nounced that heavy British and
United States bombers continued to
sweep across the Mediterranean to
attack Crete and that another force
struck at Tobruk again.
Light bombers continued to ham,
mer Field Marshal Erwin RommePs

NEXT JAP MOVE:
Fools Paradise

g. say we are living in a
FOOLS paradise. 1t is only absolute
fear that will awaken the people to
a realization of what they must face
in the immediate future"
With those words Premier Mitch
ell Hepburn of Ontario emphasized
the peril which faces the United
Nations-particularly Great Britain
and the United States.
Hepburn predicted that Japan's
next major move would be an at
tack on Dutch Harbor in the Aleu-
tian islands. From Dutch Harbor
long range bombers could attack the
United States production centers on
the West coast and a considerable
distance inland.
"Untold difficulties" may be in
store for Britain because of the des-
perate situation of the Russian
army, the premier said. Nazi SUBJ
jugation of the entire Mediterranean
area Twill mean Germany will oc-
cupy the whole of France and take
the French fleet"

RUSSIA:
Desperate Battles

Bridging the lower Don river, Nazi
troops continued to press on in their
steady drive into the Caucasus. Rus
sian infantrymen, battling desper-
ately from the southern bank of the
Don, 100 miles east of Rostov, threw
tons of explosives at the Nazis, but
two German spearheads were es-
tablished.
A Soviet bulletin announced that
nine pontoon bridges were smashed,
throwing Nazi troops and equipment
into the Don. But new reserves
were ready to take the place of the
drowned men, whose bodies were
left to float down the river.
Despite German successes at Ros-
TOW, Soviet troops made the Nazis
pay dearly for their gains. In part,
a Russian communique announced
that Zone small group of Soviet in
fantry alone in one day with anti
tank guns, machine guns and in
cendiary bottles destroyed nine Ger
man tanks and killed hundreds of
Hitlerites."
The communique said that the
Red army still was fighting stub
bornly at Novocherkassk and at
Tsimlyansk.
Soviet airmen were credited with
destroying 299 German planes dur
ing the week. Russian losses for
the same period were placed at 1877.
In one sector of the front Russian
soldiers were said to have wiped out
more than four Nazi regiments in
three weeks fighting, capturing
large military stores, including 400
machine guns, $50 automatic rifles,
46 mortars and 10000 shells. In
addition, they DESTROYED 1923 tanks.
