GREAT WAR FILM
 TOBE HELD OVER
"Moscow Fights Back" Is Acclaimed as Classic;
 Amateur Night Tonight

"MoScow Strikes Back" the really great war document, will be held over by the Strand for four addi- tional days, Saturday, Sunday, Mon- day and Tuesday. It has elicited the highest praise from those who have viewed in the last three days. All the world was thrilled last winter by the memorable counter offensive on the part of the Russian forces who drove back the NaM hordes from their entrenched positions in front of Moscow and recaptured thousands of square miles of terri tory from the enemy. The film de- picts this thrilling fight in feature length nationally winning acclaim as one of the great war documents ever to come to the screen. Every important phase of the battle drive the Nazis back across the snow packed steppes is authentically re- corded, taken by cameramen who served with the Red Army at the front. The picture shows the wrecked equipment of the Nazis, left behind in their nasty retreat, the frozen and shabby German prison CTS, the Red army tanks, planes, ar- tillery, ski troops, and paratrooperS relentless1y on the march forward day and night. Seen also are the burned villages, the ruined farms, homeless families, and Russian

1CELAND' OPENS
 TODAY AT POLES
Sonia Henie Skating Star of Merry Musical; Good
 Companion Feature

One of 20th Century -Fox's merri- est musicals, Iceland" makes its local debut at the Loew Poli. theater today where it opens five day en- gagement. Just as in "Sun Valley Serenade," thes picture is not only an entertainment gem in its own right, but adds more laurels to those already aInassed by scintil- lating Sonia Henie, who just seems to skate with even more enchanting grace than she has in her previous films.
 The film is high-lighted with TO- nance and comedy. Sonia Henie turns in an excellent performance with John Payne, her handsome CO., star, who looks even more romantic in his uniform as corporal in the U. S. Marines. Jack Oakie, that hilarious zany as usual adds the belly laughs that climax the col1- bined efforts of virtual monopoly of Hollywood comedy taletlt-- Oakie, Sterling, Holloway, Felix Bressart and Fritz Field.
 Miss Henie and Payne receive other excellent support, particular ly from OSa MaSsen, the pretty Danish screen star, and Joan Mer- Till, the singing delight who has proved surprisingly good actress. Finally, but certainly not the least important, an integral part of "Ice- lands" success is due to the music of Sammy Kaye and his orchestra.
 The setting for Iceland" as the name implies, is Americas newest outpost; and the thrilling opening shows the arrival of our fighting Marines to take over An averted auto collision introduces Icelandic native Sonia to dashing corporal of Marines Payne, and his Sidekick. Private Oakie. It's romance at first sight between Sonia and John Payne, except that Payne's "line" has drawn girls to the church (where they waited indefinitely and this time he's stuck on an ts- land!
 Before Payne gets around to marrying Sonia, there are argu- ments. doub,e-crosseg, outbreaks close to war, and enough hilarious action and variance to satisfy the most demanding movie-goer. That's not forgetting the unforgettable skating scenes. These extravaganzas are undoubtedly the finest ever filmed
 The picture introduces more than seven wonderful new song hits, among these such grand tunes are "You Can't Say No to Soldier, :" Lets Bring New Glory to Old Glory" "Lover's Knot" 'I Like a Military Tune" 'There1l Never Be Another You" and others.
 On the same program is Careful, Soft Shoulder" with Virginia Bruce and James Ellison.

Lease-Lend Goods
Making U. 5. Record
Export Balance
Crude Materials and
Foodstuffs Shrinking
At Same Time

As a result of the large lease-lend
shipments to the nations combating
Axis aggression, a record United
States export balance is in the
making this year, the Commerce
Department reported today.
Excluding supplies shipped to
American armed forces abroad, the
export balance, during the first four
months of 1912, amounted to $780,
100000, according to the depart
ment's foreign trade figures.
The striking feature concerning
the economic character of our ex-
ports so far this year is the con-
tinued shrinkage in the proportion
composed of crude materials and
foodstuffs and the continuance at
up of finished manufactures" the
department said.
During the first four months of
1912 exports of crude foods and ma
terials were only 5.4 per cent of the
total. During the 10 years l93l-l940
they averaged 20 per cent, although
In 1941 they declined to per cent.
Finished manufactures, on the
other hand, in the first four months
of this year constituted 70 per cent
of the total. In 1941 they were 81
per cent of the total, but in the
decade 1931-1940 they formed only
az per cent of all exports of United
States merchandise. In the World
War period the highest proportion
attained by finished manufacturers
was 48 per cent.
The present war is making the
United States the workshop of the
world to an extent greater than
ever before, but at the same time
is dropping us in rank as a supplier
of crude materials"
Though the value of imports dur
Ing the first four months of 1912
was about the same as during the
same period last year. the physical

ish Empire countries were our
