BRITISH RATiONS

To bolster the morale of British troops,
American soldiers based on the British
Isles are liable to have to give up their
own rations and live instead on the same
rations served to the BritiShers.
Napoleon's remark about an army trav-
cling on its belly will take on a new twist
for the Americans when they've got to
give up their pork chops and orange juice
because their alles-at-armS can't have
them-and because shipping space is
needed to transport powder and guns
and tanks and airplanes.
At first glance. Americans will tend
to resent the fact that their boys can't
have the best of food, simply because the
British can't have it. Upon more thor
ough consideration, however, there ap-
pears to be ample reason for the curtail-
ment of chow.
To soldier, his food is one of the most
important and most often discussed items
of life This is Just as true of the Brit
ish soldier as of the American. Living
on short rations while the Americans
alongside him live richly makes the Brit
isher discontented, morose and sullen.
1t lessons his desire to cooperate with his
more fortunate ally. 1t makes for bad
morale all the way around.
Since it is out of the question for the
United States to send across enough food
to increase the British ration, the next
best thing seems to be to cut the Ameri-
can one. Hard to face-but there it is.
Nor will the boys starve. The British
ration may be not so appealing, but it is
thoroughly nourish11g. so in spite of the
inroads on their diet, the Americans will
still be well fed.

PENASCO HIGHWAY
GAINS RECOGNITION

The L. S. war department this week
put its formal approval on statement
that good, all-year highway to Puerto
Penasco (Rocky Point on the Gulf OF
Lower California, is of vital military I'M
portance.
Recognition of highway to the gulf
as vitality important was urged in these
columns several months ago, and before
that during peacetime.
1t is only minor disappointment that
the war department acted in favor of
highway from Gila Bend to Puerto Pen
asco, over an already existing, but very
bad, roadway. The fact that the north
ern end of the highway will be in Ari-
zona, instead of at Mexicali, is due more
to the alertneSS and aggreSSiVeneSS OF
Arizona citizens than to anything else.
One thing seems to us to be conclusive
ly proved by this belated recognition OF
the Importance of good highway to the
gulf. 1t is the need for long-range plan
ming and greater vision during peacetlme,
SO that wartime would not find us with
vitally important projects still only
dreams.
1t should be entirely possible for the
engineers Of this country and Mexico on
the south, as we'll as Canada on the north,
to determine during times OF peace-and
without regard to political considerations
what roads and highways are most de
sirable to round out a basically thorough,
all-inclusive system of communications.
1t has been an obvious fault, for instance,
that there was no highway from this
country to any place on the Gulf of Lower
California which could be Travelled at
all times, under all conditions.
The same thing is true down the west
ern edge of the peninsula of BaJa Call
farnia Wbprp oOo6 HIGHWAY ends only
a few miles south of the border.
Highways such as these are of extreme
Importance in time of war, with all coast
lines potential landing places for the
enemy, but they are valuable peacetime
routes, too Since that is the case, it is
an indictment of American forethought
that we have to wait until we are at war
before we take action. One of these
days, we might wait too long.

NO SURRENDER!

(ChriStian Science Monitor)
In year when nations give visiting
rulers submarine chasers instead of gold
keys or ornamental fetes, it was both
fitting and useful for the Netherlands
beloved Queen to stand Thursday on the
rostrum of the United States Senate to
address Americas lawmakers.
Inside occupied territory and outside,
the fight goes on she reassured the
American people And it is no secret
that after two years of occupation the
NaziS feel less secure than ever in the
country they had thought would readily
become part of their colonization scheme
Quietly, persistently doggedly the people
of the lowlandS have so hamstrung the
plans of the invaders that the chaos IN
Holland is such as has never been known
before. Yet the Dutch underground
movement is well organized-so well or
ganized that the German commander
now threatens the death penalty to any
one found on the streets in case of an in
vasion.
1t has become quite apparent that
arch flattery cannot cajOle nor ruthless
ness conquer this sturdy nation. From
the East Indies to the West, incidents ac-
cumulate to prove their motto remains
"No Surrender" And from Batavia to
Rotterdam Queen Wilhelminas words
spoken from Washington will be found
strengthening and supporting individuals
in their determined fight for democracy.
Support is felt too in her message that
'liberty is forever young and strong and
invincible.' The United States is proud
to be united by friendship and in its war
effort with this brave people.

MONSTROSITY

(Forbes Magazine)
With over 100000 names on the civil
payrolls exclusive of military person
neD, the United States Government is the
worlds largest employer. Today, Uncle
Sans civil payroll is 1915 900 above Sep
tember 1889; and 100000 above the
November 1918, peak of World War |.
The more we grow, the faster becomes
the rate of increase In March, 1888,
there were sos 900 names on these civil
rolls. During the next six years the in
crease was at the average rate of ALSO a
month.
At the outbreak of World War II, in
September, 1889, the total stood at 925,
900, and during the next "a months the
increase was at the average rate of 81,
500 each month.
But in February this year the increase
for the month was 100000.
Congress is showing alarm over this
runaway multiplication.
Crowding, confusion and administra-
tive overlap throughout the federal SER
vice today are nearing the explosion point.

His poor wife will have to bring
up those children all by herself.
That's no exaggeration. Plenty of
people write letters just like that
and don't even suspect what they
are doing to the morale of their
friends and relatives.
Life is pretty hard tor most fami-
lies these days; Most of them have
real worries Of their own So let's
not use the mails to put them in
a worse frame of mind.
There's good news as we'll as
bad all around us. Women whose
husbands are at their sides are
still having babies. Why not men
ton those? Young men are get
ting promotions as we'll as being
killed. Why not pass on that kind
of news? Young folks are still fall

ment sometimes on how happy
bride looks, instead of always on
how sad some mother looks be-
cause she hasn't heard from her

Let's censor our own letters and
let's do our letter writing when we

If you aren't writing more letters

There must be one, and probably
more than one, young man in your

And almost certainly some OF
your good friends have moved away

So, if you are keeping up with

you are writing a great many let

What you say in those letters is
more important than you might
think.
If you write long gloomy, sorrow
ful letters, you are spreading pes
simism all over the country.
Some folks-and often they are

CAPITAL TALKS
by
Peter
Edison

One of the toughest production
problems in fighting a modern war
is to keep equipment ultra modern.
Streamlined, two jumps ahead of
the enemy's. An army going into
action with weapons that were the
latest thing in the last world ruckus
wouldn't stand a chance in this
war. Many weapons that were con-
Sidered advanced" in 1910 and
l94l are now obsolete or obsoles-
cent. Since Pearl Harbor, the U. S.
Army ordnance department has
standardized On nearly $50 new
models of weapons and pieces of
equipment, including new aircraft
armament, artillery, tanks and
combat vehicIeS, small arms and
types of bomb, ammunition and
accessories.
That word standardized" is
probably bad one. Nothing
i'm modern war is ever stand
ardized. In peacetimes, the
manufacturers of automobiles,
stoves refrigeratOrs, typewritcrs,
adding machines, washing ma
chimes of all kinds can stand
ardize for a year or so. They
can spend two years developing
new model, and then bring
il out as the design they will
standardize on for any given
season.
When these same manufacturers
are converted to war production,
they may get a contract for say
10000 tanks of a standard design
But before the first thousand are
manufactured. there may be a bet
ter tank designed and before the
first thousand of the second model
are completed, still better design
will be forthcoming. In long, mod
en war, there just isn't any such
thing as standard model.
