DARLAN:
Legal authority?

The status of the French fleet at
Toulon appeared unchanged as the
Vichy radio reported that a large
number Of French troops had ar
rived to occupy the city.
Although Adm. De La Borde, COM
mander of the Toulon naval squad
ron, renewed his pledge Of alle-
glance to Marshal Petain, crews
were reported unable to leave their
ships, indicating Axis mistrust of the
sailors. A Nazi broadcast said that
"all strategically important points
on the Mediterranean coast of south
ern France are now protected by
German and Italian arms"
Adm. Jean Darlan and the Vichy
government continued their bicker-
ing over which is the legitimate all.

CUADALCANAL:
Touch and Go

While American and japanese
warships hammered at each other
in gigantic Solomon Island battle,
Australian Navy Minister Maxim
warned his people that the outcome
of the naval engagement will deter
mine Japan's plan for the invasion
of Australia.
A navy commnique from Wash
ington said that the fight which
ragged on the sea, in the skies and
on GuadaIcanal resulted from "a de-
termined effort on the part of the
japanese to recapture positions in
the Guadalcanal-Tulagi area" which
U. S. marines had captured last
August.
Navy Minister Maxim warned that
there should be no undue optimism
or complacency over Allied sue
cesses in Africa and New Guinea.
'The Solomons," he added, "are the
screen between the enemy and Aus
tralia, and If the Japanese should
break through the Allied naval cor
don they certainly will attack Aus
tralia."
After the first four days of the
fight. the navy reported only that
numerous enemy surface forces
are active in the southeastern Solo,
mons in an attempt to reinforce the
enemy troops now on Guada1canal

FARM WAGES:
Ceiling Lifted

It was announced by the Office
of Economic Sterilization that for
the time being the ceiling on agri-
cultural wages has been lifted. Ac-
cording to OES Director Byrnes,
this plan will be in effect until the
department of agriculture can de-
termine two things:
ID What effect farm wages have
on farm production in the more
critical farm labor shortage areas;
and
(2) Where increases in farm wages
may threaten to cause an increase
in the price ceilings on farm pro-
ducts.

TUNISIA:
Kick for Ron1n,eI

AALCh IO5 1NOHCHIGt
American soldiers battled against
German troops in their first regular
engagement of World War II when
the British first army and smaller
United States force clashed with
Axis troops defending the naval base
of Bizerte in Tunisia.
While United States Rangers par
ticipated in the raid on Dieppe this
was the first time that strong
force of United States soldiers and
the Germans faced each other in
battle.
When the Morocco radio-con-
trolled by the Allies-announced that
contact had been established be-
tween the Allied force and the Ger
mans the broadcast was confirmed
by German wireless. The Morocco
radio estimated at the time of the
broadcast the Axis had landed 10000
German and Italian troops in Tuni-
STA, and said enemy forces were
reported arriving in transport planes
and by sea.
Early reports gave no indication
of the size of the American force.
However, Lieut.. Gen. K. A. N. An
derson, British commander of the
combined operation in Tunisia, said
that it made up one-tenth of his
striking force and included special
units. The British nine-tenths con-
sisted of veteran soldiers, superbly
trained, who have met the Germans
in previous engagements.
Lieut.. Gen. Dwight E. Eisenhower
announced that the drive in Tunisia
was advancing as fast as possible
according to PLAN
Several French garrisons were
battling incoming Axis troops, con-
centrating on transports and shoot
ing soldiers as they came to earth.
However, the opposition from the
poorly equipped French was consid-
cred more as harassment than a
serious hindrance, but was given a
warm welcome by the Americans
and British.
Eisenhower reported that the
Mediterranean waters were swarm
ing with enemy submarine" de-
tailed by the Axis to disrupt Allied
landing of reinforcements and war
stores. In London Prime Minister
Churchill announced that Allied
countermeasures had resulted in
sinking 10 enemy subs in North AZ
rican waters, five of them in two
days.
AS the Allied force raced into Tu-
nisia, General Anderson said his
whole purpose is ito get east as
quickly as possible and kick Rom
mel in the pants.''
II have made very good start"
he said, land I am determined to
press on and not lose the initiative"

LEND-LEASE:
Still Up


Even while the United States was
undergoing the huge task of pre-
pairing for the North African inva-
sion our allies were getting even
more lend-lease aid than before This
fact was revealed by President
Roosevelt when he announced that
amount of goods and services fur
nished the other United Nations last
month increased one-third over any
previous month. A record-breaking
$915, 000,00 worth of lend-lease was
chalked up in that period.
This, the President indicated,
should convince all that the Axis
was wrong in assuming that our aid
to the United Nations would de-
crease once we began a strong Of
fensive action. Also, said the Presi-
dent, our lend-lease aid will not de-
crease in the future. Production
schedules are aimed at supplying
both the needs of military forces and
many Of the needs Of the United
Nations.
Among items which did not show
up in the cold figures Of the report
was news that before the U. S. air
craft carrier Wasp was sunk, that
ship had carried two priceless loads
of British Spitfre fighting planes to
Malta and that American engineers
and soldiers are expanding the
capacity of railroads taking supplies
into Russia.
The President pointed out that
two-thirds of the goods were mill
tary items, including large numbers
of planes and tanks that helped turn
the tide in Egypt and to hold the
lines in Russia.

NEW GUINEA:
Trap Closes

Word of ever-increasing action on
New Guinea came from General
MacArthur's headquarters where it
was announced that American and
Australian ground troops, converg-
ing on the Jap invasion base at
Buna, had joined forces for the at
tack.
Continuous air attacks supported
the steady advance in New Guinea,
an official communique said. The
Allied forces had been closing on
Buna, only Jap base in southeastern
New Guinea, ever since American
troops were landed by air late in
October.
Australian troops have pushed
down the north slope of the Owen
Stanley mountain range to near
Buna from the west. The Ameri-
cans approached up from the south.

1912 Production

Meanwhile the department of ag-
riculture was estimating the 1912
production of principal farm crops
and comparing them with last year.
This is the way these figures looked:
1912 Production 1941 Production
Corn 3,1S5, 141, 900 blu. 2,672 ,541 900 blu.
Wheat 9S4, O46, 900 blu. 945 1887 900 blu.
Cotton 1895, 1000 bales 1O,S0O,O00 bales
Interesting fact revealed at this
time also was that the use of hybrid
seed added 300, 600, 900 bushels to this
years corn crop. This is enough
corn to produce about $500, 100000
pounds of pork.

whatever the marshal might say
now should not be needed because
he (Petain) is unable to let the
French people know his real
thoughts.
Darlan, in one of his first demon
strations Of power, appointed Gen.
Henry Giraud commander in chief
of French forces in the region. Vichy
radio replied with an order attribut-
ed to Petain prohibiting French
colonial troops from obeying Giraud.
Also it was stated that Giraud
"broke his officers word and thus
lost his honor. He received his self
conferred title of commander from
a foreign power"
London dispatches said that the
appointment of Darlan was unpopu-
lar there because he worked to as
sist the enemies Of Britain and
America since the fall of France.
Hope was expressed in some quar-
tiers that Darlan's assignment was
only temporary.

DOUBLE FEATURES:
Dim Out?

Meeting in New York city, the
motion picture National Board of
Review passed a resolution recon-
mending theater owners suspend
double features for the duration "as
a saving of time, critical materials
and manpower needed for winning
the war;"
Previously, Lowell Mellett, chief
of the Office of War Information Bu-
reau of Motion Pictures, had ap.
peared before the board asking for
the elimination of double features.
''The habit of sitting three or four
or even more hours, with ones mind
af1oat in a fctional world, hardly
equips the American population for
the serious job of dealing with real
life. That way lies degeneration
rather than growth. And we must
grow. We must grow into people
competent to win this war;" he said.
Mellett also said that his bureau
is trying to help the American pub
lie see what the war means to them.
