hostilities London tried TO avoid
imposing any more restrictions on
business and the public than were
necessary. As a result, only key
commodities were brought under
control. Two months were enough
to prove 10 the British that a
system which attempted TO control
prices only at the raw material
stage could not work. Manufae-
turers, with an instructive sense
for supply-and-demand economics.
were tempted to squeeze a little
extra profit out of each sale In
order To make up for an actual or
Threatening reduction in turnover.
With no control over the retail
price, wholesalers and retailers
operated on the same generous
msrkup system.
Britain's next step-trying 10
control retail prices under the
loose provisions of the prices of
goods sct-was only a palliative.
Before II could he put into prac-
tice the nation WAS faced with the
actual loss Of key supply bases
and the kind of total war which
followed the Nazi blitz attack on

France.
Since Britain started rationing

as to industry, and controlling
prices from the raw material stage

To Reduce Toll in

D. G. Traffic Toll
Killed in 1912 2------------- 6
Killed in same period Of 194l 8
Toll for all of 1941 95

A double -barreled campaign to
reduce the traffic death toll in WASH
ington was announced today by
Inspector Arthur E. Miller, police
traffic supervisor.
Pedestrians will be urged to cross
streets only at crosswalks, while
the inspectors men will concentrate
their efforts on enforcing safe
street-crossing practices.
This action was based on figures
compiled from last years traffic
fatality list OF 95, showing that a
majority of the victims were pedes-
trians who were killed crossing
streets at points other than cross
walks. Twenty-eight were killed
crossing at intersections and six
while stepping from between parked
automobiles.
I'VE intend to devote the coming
months to use Of this new informa-
ton as a means of holding 1912
highway mishaps to a minimum, y
Inspector Miller said.
Statistics of the Accident Pre-
rention Unit also showed that viola
ton of speed laws contributed to Is
deaths. while failure to yield rights
of way caused IL fatalities. Thirty
one fatal accidents occurred in the
daytime in clear weather and be-
tween intersections. Eighteen per
cent of the accidental deaths were
in the first precinct.
Citing these figures, Inspector
Miller warned drivers that traffic
officers will be working under in
structions to pay particular atten-
ton to motorists who exceed the
speed limit or fail to yield the right
of way.

attacked a japanese naval force
engaged in landing operations in

Unfavorable weather conditions

BY the Associated Press.

CHUNGKING. Jan. IA. The
Chinese press declared today that
signs of British and American REIN
forcements in the Far East we're
lacking, that the situation allowed
of no optimism, and turned severe
criticism on the conduct of the war
in the Pacific.
British authorities in Malaga
have shown themselves wanting in
both vision and determination" was
the blunt assertion of the Chinese
Army organ, Sac Tang Pao.
"The term Pacific war appeared
in publications 20 years ago and was
the subject of constant discussion in
Japan, yet Americans were caught
of guard at PAarl Harbor. and the
Philippines al left to look after
themselves with a small force" 1t
continued.
Signs of Anglo-American REIN
forcements are absent while British
and American authorities continue
to indulge in sidetracking remarks.
Both Knox Omitted States Secretary
of the Navy and A. v. Alexander
(Britain'S First Lord of the Ad-
miralty) urged the Allies to strike
Hitler first. If Japan is allowed to
take Singapore and the Netherlands
Indies it will be easier said than
done for America and Britain to
start the counter offensive"
While other papers strongly sup
ported demands for the speedy dis
patch of land, naval and air REIN
forcements to the Far East, Sac

Knox Opposes Lifting Ban
On Marriage Of Ensiqns

Secretary Knox today fatty op-
posed any proposal to lift the ban
which prevents graduates of the
Naval Academy from marrying
within two years after their gradu-
alton.
He was asked at his press con-
ference if he had heard discussion
regarding the possibility Of lifting
the ban during the war and whether
he favored such an idea. He replied
quickly:
Il am not in favor Of lifting the
marriage ban, and I don't think any
responsible leader in the Navy would
approve OF such thing"
Secretary Knox clarified his state
ment and said that in the first place,
the pay of an ensign is small and he
would have little money to spend on
keeping a wife and a home. In the
second place, Mr.. Knox said, the job
OF an ensign during his first two
years is so strenuous that it, should
exhaust his physical and mental Ca
pacities. Under such circumstances
an officer could not give his best
service to his country if he was wor-
rying about wife at home.
