that the city's fall was imminent. Gen.
MacArthurs Wednesday communique
said that 'the enemy is driving in great

War Department here emphasized that
the Macarthur forces continued strong
resistance, inf1icting heavy losses on the

The Japanese pushed their way for

they had served the Germans in France,

day said the japanese moving up from
Lamon Bay were 20 miles from Manila.

COLD, HUNGER HAUNT EUROPE'S MILLIONS
eemony With Looto Continent Prepared Winter
By Frank Brmff0,
Wide World News.

Bread cards have been introduced in
Hungary. The newspaper Pesti Hirlap
Of Budapest labeled all who accumulated
food es "gangsters." The same news
paper, in dispatch from Belgrade, said
the food situation was catastrophe in
many ex-Yugoslav cities, where there
are great shortages of potatoes, corn,
wheat and meat. In Rumania, 3l3 Bu-
charest merchants were tried in q single
day on charges Of violating food control
laws.
People Lose Weight.
Private letters from Holland disclose
great anxiety over the food situation.
Each person is allowed 1900 grams
(about 63 ounces of bread weekly and
pounds of potatoes for the same pc
riod Fruit is very expensive and 1t is
estimated that 80 per cent is going to
Germany and the remaining 20 per cent
to jam factories.
One individual wrote most people
have lost Is to 20 pounds" while another
said Everybody expects milk, meat and
fats probably will soon disappear from
kitchens"
Effective January 15 Hungary will ra-
ton bread, -four, sugar, butter and fats
throughout the entire country. Until
now. they have been rationed only in the
capital and large cities.
Bulgaria already has cut the daily
bread ration from 400 grams about IA
ounces to $50 grams per person.
War and the Allied blockade have
either reduced or eliminated Europe's
supply of New Zealand butter, Australian
mutton, Argentine beef, American meat,
Brazilian coffee, Canadian apples, Afri-
can palm oil and Antarctic whale oil.
All the countries have tried to increase
food production, but they have been
hampered by lack of labor, fertilizer and
machinery. Nitrates once used for fer
tilizer are needed for explosives, and
machinery, which is limited must have
fuel to operate. Germany was short of
labor when the war began.
Europe Lacks Self Suff1ciency.
Some authorities see little prospect of
Europe's producing enough food for its
needs during the war, although in peace
times certain countries produced enough
or slightly better. Among them were ::
Hungary, 12l per cent; Lithuania, ITO;
Rumania, ITO: Bulgaria, 100; Yugoslavia,
1O6; Latvia, LOG; Denmark, 103; Esth-
onia, 102; Spain, 100. Italy produced 95

DUTCH INDIES MAKING GALLANT STAND
Strike Terrific Blows at japanese Woco and Transports
By Don Whitehead,
Wide World News.

first-line planes many Of American
make, and a hard-hitting navy.
The real strength of the fleet is mill
tary secret but it consists approximately
of cruisers, 7 destroyers, 6 torpedo
boats, motor torpedo boats, % subma-
rines, 5 minelayers. 13 mine sweep
ers and some 40 auxiliary craft. AS
a matter of policy, most Of the fleet
was based in the East Indies when the
Germans struck and so escaped the
Nazi invasion of the homeland. 1t is
commanded by Vice Admiral c. E. l..
Helfrich, SIS, who has spent most of his
life in the Dutch naval forces.
Strung over the islands are well-con-
cealed airfelds with hidden stores Of
gasoline and oil. Even the jungles are
mined" against the Japanese-little
needle sharp spears with poison tips
are hidden in the underbrush. The
poison is renewed periodically to main
tain its potency.
This was trick the Dutch learned by
bitter experience long ago from natives
who now are friendly. Flowing through
underbrush the men were scratched by
the concealed barbs-and death came
swiftly.
More Arms Needed.
The Dutch had long planned to strike
first and strike hard against a foe, hit
ting principally with planes and sub
marines on the sea. And this they've
DONE But despite their successes, they
still need more bombing planes, fight
ing ships, anti-aircraft guns and small
arms.
Only few days ago 1t. Gen. Helm
ter Poorten, commander of the army,
appealed for more materials. The is
lands have no heavy industries to pro-
duce their own implements of war.
None doubts that the Dutch will fight
tenaciously to hold their hard-won pos
sessions The Portuguese and Spanish
have reason to remember the stubborn
will of the Hollanders. In the Dutch
Spanish struggle from 1868 to 1648 the
Dutch battled their foes relentlessly.
The Spaniards called them the water
guezen-beggars of the sea-" but the
Dutch merely regarded the term as
badge of honor.
They finally gained foothold in the
East Indies in competition with Portu-
guese traders about the latter part OF
the 18th century and slowly built up the
islands as an important world trading
center.
Actually, there is comparatively small
percentage of Hollanders among the Is
lands 100000 inhabitants. Approx
mately 10000 900 Of the people are ma
tives, less than 100000 are Dutch, and

Pacific Front

Gen. Douglas Macarthur, the Amer
lean Far Eastern commander, and his
forces fell back on Corregidor Island and
Batan Peninsula, on the western side of
Manila Bay, before the Japanese moved
into Manila and took Cavite. The War
Department communique announcing
Manila's fall declared that Gen. Mac
Arthurs brilliant tactical maneuver in
shorting his lines, permitting the cap
ture of the capital, would enable him to
strike harder co-ordinated blows at the
enemy than if he had elected to defend
the city. In the coming days of the
battle of the Philippines the question of
chief Importance will concern the degree
of opposition Gen. Macarthur can offer.
The loss of Manila, while serious, has
not lessened the resistance to the Japa-
nese attacks" the War De-
MoniIo's partment disclosed. All
Conture military installations at
Manila were removed or
destroyed a week ago Friday, when the
capital was declared an open city, and
all troops, American and Filipino, were
removed.
japanese moved swiftly overland dur
ing the week to climax their operations
by the seizure of Manila. On Monday
the forces advancing southwark from
landing points on Lingayen Bay had
moved to within closer than SIS miles to
Manila, reaching Pampanga Province. a
ugar-producing area crossed by the
Pampanga River. Japanese at this point
brought cavalry TO bear in the battle.
Gen. Macarthur in Pampanga changed
his style of resistance by withdrawing,
opposing the invaders with shortened
line. He put his troops in proper posi-
ton to withdraw to Batan and Cor
regidor. The Batan peninsula adjoins
Pampanga Province.
The plan Of the japanese involved
two-fold operation, thrust from the
north and thrust from the south. Troops
which had landed southeast of Manila
around Lamon Bay were only IS miles

BERN, Switzerland, Jan. 3-Cold and
hunger are unwelcome guests in many
European homes during this third win
ter of war.
Among the poor and the lower classes,
the lack of food clothing and fuel is
felt cruelty. But there are few who can
escape being touched.
Bread lines have heightened with bat
tie lines. Rationing has become more
stringent as country after country domi-
mated by the Axis war machine tries to
support armies of occupation while at
tempting to re-establish disjointed agri-
cultural and industrial production.
Germany has been assured by her
food ministry there will be enough for
the winter months. But Germany is
more fully and scientifically prepared
than other European countries. She
may tap the stocks and resources of con-
quered and collaborating nations while
using some 100000 war prisoners in
farm work
There may be more belt-tightening,
but there is no admission of an ap-
preaching food crisis in the Reich.
Italy to Feel Bread Cut.
Germanys Axis partner Italy has
taken belated but sharp action in ration
ing clothing. shoes and other textiles.
Bread has been limited to 200 grams
(about 7 ounces daily-400 for heavy
laborers-a restriction which Fascist
Writer Virginio Gayda said in his Gior-
male DItalia certainly will be felt by
his countrymen There will be some
hunger among the lower classes, but no
starvation.
1t is in the beaten, occupied and. in
some instances, xis-collaborating ma
tions that food conditions are more
described as "pitifuI' by one neutral
observer.
France and Belgium have been living
from hand to mouth for a year. Many
in Spain need food. Even Switzerland,
still the best fed country on the con-
tnent, feels the pincer of less food
and 80 per cent rise in living costs.
But the trend here only emphasizes
worse conditions elsewhere.
In France, thousands of acres of farm
land have been idle for lack of man
power. France has been unable to obtain
release of some $500 900 to 100000 able
bodied war prisoners in Germany.
Rumania, the "granary OF Europe"
has two breadless days week. Bulgaria,
another country with crop-selling prob
lem before the war, now has her crops
rationed by the government. Both
countries have rigid controls to permit
Increased supplies to Germany.
Evening star., 1942-01-04

the others are Europeans, Chinese and
other Asiatics.
This polyglot population embraces
many ideologies. religions and cultures
and speaks some $50 languages-but
there never has been any doubt about
the loyalty of the great majority to the
Dutch government.
The United States has vital economic
stake in the islands aside from any
moral responsibility to aid in the Indies
defense. American capital helped de-
velop the rich oil fields. In 1910 this
country bought SIP lie, 900 worth of its
crude rubber from the Dutch, $2271 900
of quinine bark, s4 SOC, 900 in sisal fiber
to make binder twine for farmers, So
100000 in paraffin wax, 100000 in to-
bacco-a total of s170,000.0OO worth of
goods. During the same year the islands
bought so per cent of its imports from
the United States.
Fifth Largest Oil Producer.
The Netherlands East Indies are the
fifth largest petroleum producer in the
world. Their 1910 oil production totaled
60,000000 barrels, not an impressive
figure beside this Nations output OF
1850 100000 barrels, but enough to keep
Japans engines of death running
smoothly.
And besides the oil. rubber. tin. to-
bacco and quinine. there are rich sources
OF spices, palm oil, sugar, tea. coffee,
kapok, gold, silver, nickel. manganese.
bauxite, iron, lead, sulphur and copper.
OF all the islands, Sumatra and Java
are the most highly developed and the
keystones in the East Indies defense.
The Dutch figure they can lose some
of the small islands without great dan
ger, winning them back another day.
But they don't intend to lose Java and
Sumatra.
If an invasion should be successful,
a well-pIanned scorched-earth policy
would rob the invaders of any immediate
benefits from oil fields in Java, Sumatra,
Borneo and Ceram.
The roads to the interior will be
clogged with blasted trees and dynamited
bridges, forcing the invaders to hack
their way through the jungle. Mean
time, gas Jets will be lit beneath dry
boilers to explode gasoline and oil In
the stills" Fuel tanks will be pune
tured; pipelines, conduits and machinery
smashed, and the wells choked with
concrete.
But this destruction is planned only a.
q last desperate measure to rob ths
enemy Of any economic benefits from
conquest. Right now, the stubborn
Dutch are giving the Japs . great deal
more punishment than they're receiving.
