Call for Mr.. Claus

Due to the scarcity of rubber, iron
and other materials once used freely
for toys, Santa Claus will have real
problem this Christmas, even though
priority damage is an old story to
him-the priorities so often exer-
cised by fathers who become fasci-
mated in advance with the toys and
wear them out before Christmas.
Still, children are resourceful, small
ones, in particular, seem to enjoy
empty tin cans about as well as any
thing else. But, hold on-doesnt
mother mash them fiat and save
them for the Government? Oh, we'll.
all children are fascinated by junk
piles: if worst comes to the worst,
they can play there, But can they?
Hardly-the junk pile is reserved for
Uncle Sam. All that Is left, appar-
emily, is the good old-fashioned mud
pie. Surely no one will deprive them
of that
Oh, yes? It just so happens that
Uncle Sam now is experimenting
with houses made of mud. Mud,
mixed in the ratio eighty-five to
fifteen with an asphalt emulsion, can
be made into bricks, or pressed into
entire walls in temporary wood
frames, where it will harden. Houses
built this way are said to be warmer
in winter, cooler in summer. Many
new homes are needed for war work.
ers. Perhaps father, if he is a car
penter or mason, may be allowed to
play with mud pies, but it will not
do to allow mere children to waste
valuable building material. Great
effort has been put into developing
materials useful to the war; will some
kind soul please invent something
that is absolutely useless for the
war, so that children can play with
it before their parents go mad?

by Dutch development Of the re-
sources of their island, and they
almost certainly must resent Jap
interference with their prosperity
and liberty. None of the inhabi-
tants Of the invaded areas had any
thing to gain from being taken over
by Hirohito and the Black Dragons.
Have they been reconciled to their
sacrifices?
A clue to the answer possibly may
be discovered in the miracle of "the
lost Christians" of Japan itself. The
converts of ST. Francis Xavier in
1549 established a Catholic tradition
which, despite official persecution,
never persisted. After three CEN
turtles their descendants were re-

The Curtain

On December last, nearly year
ago. curtain of silence began to
fall over all of that area which COM
monty has been called the Orient.
Hong Kong, the Philippines. the
Malay States, the Netherlands East
Indies and Burma have disappeared
behind the mysterious hush of Japa-
nese conquest. No news of any I'M
tainted kind has come to America
from the territories seized by the
army and the navy of Nippon. The
effect of the weird and unnatural
stiffness is that of death.
Yet life inevitably goes on in the
cities and the towns on the other
side of the curtain, One day in the
future, perhaps sooner than now is
expected the barrier will be re-
moved, and the world will hear what
has happened under the rule of the
war lords of Japan. Have they at
tempted to replace the systems of
society which they found when they
invaded the subjected communities?
If so, with what substitutes? Have
they imprisoned vast numbers OF
people? If so, where and under
what conditions? Have they been
able to feed the masses whose ordi-
harry routine of existence they dis
turbed? If so, with what? Have
they aped Hitler and his methods of
tyranny? If so, with what result?
Have they encountered resistance
from the civil populations as Der
Fuehrer did in France and Norway,
Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia? If
so. what have they done about it?
The problems of military govern
ment are complex. 1t Is true, OF
course, that the soldiers OF the
Japanese Empire have had expe-
rience in the domination of Korea,
Manchuria and parts of China. but
European observers who witnessed
their behavior in those unhappy
places were not stirred to admiration
by their methods. Psychologically

Jap commander is not suited for
such work. His handicaps include
differences in processes of thought
(as when he laughs to conceal en-
barrassment), in language, in man
ner and bearing, in power to per-
suade by the use of pure logic.
It happens, too, that the people
held by the japanese have their own
traditional patterns of intelligence,
imagination and prejudice. The
Siamese, for example, are a proud
race, unaccustomed to be ordered
shither and yon by strangers. So,
too, the Filipinos for forty years had
been educated to appreciate freedom
and to object to being bossed. The
natives OF Java profited immensely

lied that the average time for build
ing 10,000-ton vessel OF the emery
ency-type Liberty in which this
country now is specializing, is around
sixty days. The standard C-type
ships and tankers, which also are in
production, take longer.
The Maritime Commission build
ing program, it might be said in this
connection, is booming along, with
steel the only question mark in an
otherwise satisfactory outlook. For
the year ending October l, contracts
had been let for 1851 ships, which
included 712 of the C-type and tank
ers and l ,139 Liberties. There were 759
keels laid and 526 vessels launched
Completed ships totaled 403, of which
329 were OF the Liberty type, and this
output was expected to be doubled in
the last three months of this year,
a four a-day schedule being conten1-
plated. Maritime Commission Off
Gals have set next years quota at
1900, and with sufficient building
facilities available are confident of
reaching this goal if the steel supply
holds up. Alongside of the imposing
construction program. however, must
be marked about $50 Allied mer-
chantmen reported sunk since Pearl
Harbor, although some of this loss
is Offset by building elsewhere than
in the United States.
The building program has a special
Importance to people in this section
of the country where the shipping

help the gasoline situation, but it
could be expected to relieve the fuel

coffee in the United States. If those
stocks had been divided up evenly they
could have been used to supplement the
current supplies and all could have had
fairly adequate ration. Instead of
acting to freeze coffee stocks and to ra-
ton at time when supplies were ample,
Mr.. Henderson let it be known that
coffee would be rationed at some future
date
Naturally there was a rush on the part
of hoarders to buy up all available cof-
fee. The result is that the selfish few
are protected while the masses Of the
people are to be asked to get along on
cup day. That is the type of shotgun
administration that applies all through
this field OF civilian supply and civilian
rationing. Oficals find it much more
entertaining and exciting to play the
inside political game than to undertake
the difficult and rather tedious job Of
effective administration.
1t is the same story in the field of
manpower. This country has plenty Of
men for the military forces and for all
essential civilian tasks However, If there
is to be an equitable division of men and
an assurance of full use of the labor of
those not in the military services some
body needs to plan and to act There has
been long delay in planning with the
result that grave inequalities have de-
veloped, and there are manpower short
