pens. You get a delicious mingling
of 1avors-quickly and with no
trouble. Incidentally, this double
use of a canned product is just one
example of how modern packaged
foods work for US.
The soups well suited for creamed
dishes are cream of mushroom,
thick with mushroom slices, and
such deep vegetable purees as pea,
celery, asparagus and tomato.

strike in the west. He cannot
do so-for the Russian campaign
has not come off according to
plan. His game Is TO defend the
west, and free his forces for an
all-out drive against Russia.
Aggressive U. S. Policy Urged.
He cannot even defend the
west adequately while making an
al-out offensive in the East.
Therefore, he must play the
most brilliant possible political
game-conduct the most ener-
getic political and psychological
warfare.
That's why Laval is where
he is.
What we need is not more con-
ventional diplomacy, but revolu-
tionary tactics, like those of Col.
Britton in England. 1t is i'm
possible to outwit Laval. There
are certain contests, such as the
one with the skunk, that it is
better not to engage in. We
can only make an absolutely
clean and absolutely consistent
policy; Recognize the French
government In exile; with their
aid reconquer as much French
territory as possible; make it
clear beyond question that we
intend to win this war and re-
move every German from French
soil; we must see the connection
between this game and anything
emerging from our own ap-
peasers, and above all. we must
give Laval no time. For his game
takes time.

Japanese power can be overcome
more easily than that Of the
Nazis. Moreover, there is no
question that the japanese high
command will now be compelled
to withdraw some of its scout
ing forces-cruisers, carriers and
destroyers-from other sectors TO
hunt whatever American units
may have participated in the
Saturday raid.
In some Washington quarters
the raid was considered merely
as reconnaissance to test Japa-
nese defenses. II that Is what
1t was, it has proved fully sue
cessful and, according to the Of
ficial communiques from Toxic
and Berlin, less costly than could
have been anticipated,
A return visit from the Ameri-
can Air Force can now be ex-
pected by the Japanese high
command.

This Changing World
Saturdays Roids on Jopon Viewed os Prelude;
Destruction Of VitoI pIunts Held lrreporubIe Loss

The fact that American planes
we're able to. attack Japan for
hours. in spite of strong Jspa-
neSe defense forces on the ground
and in the air. will shake the
confidence of the japanese peo-
pie.
Unlike Germany. Japans basic
war industries are concentrated
in \ small area. While the Reich
has at its disposal the continent
Of Europe in which TO build It's
war engines. the 1,079 islands
which form Japan proper have
an area no greater than 1900
square miles. The Islands are
punched and offer an easy tar
get for any air force determined
70 attack without regard for OPP
position.
The destruction OF important
factories is an irrepsrable loss.
While Britain was able to send
her warships to the United
States for repair when her navy
yards were heavily damaged by
the Nazi blitz. the Japanese
have no such opportunity.
Indo- China Bases Not Ready.
The naval bases in Indo- China
are not yet ready for shipbuild-
ing or major repairs, and neither
Singapore nor the Dutch bases
could do more than repair work
on warships before they fell into
the hands Of the japanese. Now
they are reported to be destroyed.
and it will take long time be-
fore they are in shape again to
take ships into drydock.
The Saturday raid was impor-
tant mostly because 1t demon
strated that with determination
and well-planned operations

attacked contained some of the
most important Japanese navy
yards. such as Yokosuka, where
battleships and cruisers are being
built.
The air attack is Of great i'm
portance as definite proof to the
japanese people that they are
more vulnerable to the devssta-
ton by bombs than the United
States. This attack comes on the
heels of bombastic announce
ments from Toxic that the Jap
anese Navy would dictate peace
in Washington.
The very weapons which the
Nipponese used so successfully
against the United Nations In the
South Pacific and Indian Ocean
are now being used by the United
States against Japan. In many
responsible naval quarters it has
repeatedly been maintained that
Japan is by far the most vulner-
able portion of the Axis.
Japs' Confidence Shaken.
The Nipponese are compelled TO
live, for the time being, on the
relatively large stocks they have
gathered for several years. 1t
will be some time, at least an
other six months, before they
will be able to obtain either oil
or other raw materials essential
to continuation of the war from
the conquered territories in the
South Pacific. AS long as the
Japanese felt immune to any air
attack-and they were worried
principally over the possibility
of an attack from Vladivostok-
they were confident that mate
rails from Java, Sumatra, Borneo.
the Philippines and Malaga
would begin TO pour into the
country in such quantities as to
enable them to carry on the war

war we had but the one sea lane
TO keep open, and only the one
country-France-to which TO send
men, munitions and supplies. And,
in addition to our own and the
British fleets to insure delivery, the
French and italian fleets were on
our side Yet, our feat in sending
to France an army of 1000 900 men
across 5000 miles of ocean and
maintaining them, was regarded
and rightly so-as a great achieve
ment. But. consider now the situ-
alton as it is in this war.
Instead of one sea lane to keep
open we have half a dozen main
lanes and a dozen minor ones. In
stead OF sending our soldiers to one
country, American soldiers, the
experts tell us, are now in as many
as 30 different places outside the
United States, some OF which are
actual fighting fronts and the
others potential fighting fronts. In
stead Of being concerned solely
with the safety of the North At
lantic Ocean. we now have to be
concerned with the safety of prac-
tically all the waters Of the earth.
Instead Of concentrating on sup
plying our own forces with food
and the tools of war, literally we
have become the arsenal of de-
mocracy." We are, for example,
supplying all the United Nations
with rubber. And besides to Eng
land, we are sending vast quantities
of supplies to Russia and China and
Africa. Some of our lines of COM
munication are $4,000 miles long.
Nelson Aware of Problem.
Link these things to the fact that
the strength Of our forces abroad
and, in consequence, the strain on
our shipping resources, increases
every week, and 1t is easy to realize
the immensity of our shipping
needs. In the light of the facts, the
Presidents program of 5000, 900 tons
for 1912 is now seen to be made
quate. Actually, we will exceed that

American flyers have now
learned the way 10 Japan. and
there is every reason to believe
that the Saturday bomhardment
Of the principal Japanese bases
will henceforth be repeated.
Reports from Toxic and Berlin
that American planes have
raided vital points in Japan con-
tain one of the few pieces of
really good news this country
has received since December 7
and overshadow by far all the
other operations which our Navy
and planes hitherto have con-

Although both the Navy and
War Departments for obvious
reasons were silent Saturday
