not viewed optimistically by Lieut.
Gen. Knudsen in a speech to local
industrialists gathered at the Michi-
gan Union for luncheon. The great
est problem OF democracies nov,
according TO Gen. Knudsen, Is the
supply and distribution of vital ma

forces. AS far as quality and
quantity are concerned. Gen. Knud-

Gloucester, Mass July 10-With
the harvest season just getting un-
derway, attention is new focused
on the wheat belt. Crops were
never more important to the Unit
ed States. TO canada. and to the
rest OF the world than they are to-
day. In fact, the ultimate outcome
Of the war and the terms OF its
peace may center more around our
farm commodities than around
munitions. Before discussing our
own crop outlook, | should like to
summarize. briefly, the case abroad.
Foreign Status
First, let me say that in spite
of the necessity of supplying other
countries with grains, Germany is
probably not hard-up. Certainly.
her people are not starving to
death by any means. Hitler has
held on TO the Ukraine which is the
greatest wheat producing section
in the world. In addition to the
Ukraine, Germany has the fields
of Rumania and Hungary to draw
upon. Particularly in Poland aud
Greece the situation is very bad.
1t is, however, possible that Greece
may get some United States help.
Crop conditions in Norway, the
Netherlands, and Czechoslovakia
can be considered definitely below
pre-war standards. The people OF
France. Belgium, and Yugo-Slavia
are definitely underfed and stary-
ing in many instances. Spain, still
feeling the effects of her civil war,
is also in bad way. All European
countries can look forward only to
further cuts in feeding. This also
applies to Italy which-before the
Libyan defeat-was TO be the loca-
ton of the much talked of Second
Front.
Tide May Turn
II Norway or France are invaded
by the United States, or If Russia
pushes the Germans out of the &C.
cupied Ukraine, the situation with
respect to Germany's food question
can quickly change for the worst.
Furthermore, like us in fact to
some extent, much OF the corn the
Axis can get must be turned into
alcohol for industrial purposes.
In spite of recent bad news from
the war fronts, and more may come
before the pendulum swings in our
favor, | have no fear of the ulti-
mate outcome. Starvation is
killing process, but is also a tough
ening agent. The weak will sue
cumb first but those who manage
to survive in occupied countries
will be a powerful factor in revolt
against Germany. They already
look TO the Unit States, not
only for the liberation OF their
freedom but also for their stom-
achs sake.
U. S. Supplies
Total 1912 wheat production IS
estimated at SOS million bushels.
With an anticipated carry-over OF
$50 million bushels, we should have
supply provided the weather is
with US, of about / 800 million bush
els. This chalks up new record
and will provide the greatest single
source OF supply the world has
ever known. Domestic consump-
ton will take something less than

importance still hold in the Pacific. That is why we can afford to ignore the smelling of the Oregon coast by an enemy submarine Of course it would be desirable to have small craft patroling our coastal waters, in both oceans. That would reduce our shipping losses and contribute to the security of coastal cities But the navy has far more important tasks than coast defense and this should never be forgotten.
 The seizure of another islapd in the Aleutian chain is much more significant Kiska Island is about 25O miles east of Attu the island previously occupied by the enemy. It is still $50 miles west of Dutch Harbor the outermost American base Of real importance. But $50 miles is no great distance in modern war If the Japs succeed in holding both Attu and Kiska and developing them as advanced bases we may face serious problem.
 Every prospect however, is for the destruction of the Japanese task force operating under cover of fog in Alaskan waters. Heavy damage has been done to that force already Aerial operations against the landing parties and forces have continued, whenever the skies have cleared enough to permit air observation
 The islands thus far seized by the enemy are not well suited for use as advanced bases. Their pos session by the enemy is more of a warning of his intentions than real threat to Alaska But in con- trast to the pnprcks Northwestern shore line, the stabs into the Aleuans do constitute serious military operation which must counter with super for air power. The advance of the enemy in the North Pacific is at least sharp notice that we are still on the defensive, in the Pacific as well as in the Middle East and North Africa and China.

CIVILIAN SUPPLY

Far-reaching changes in the lives and habits of every citizen during the next few months were fore cast recently by Joseph L. Weiner deputy director of the Division of Civilian Supply
 Food, clothing transportation and housing, he pointed out are the four principal fields in which changes have developed and in which greater changes may be expected
 America should be proud to find that although we are converting a huge amount of resources and industry to war the American people still have not had to suffer to any great extent, make any great sacrifices.
 Americans still have plenty to each with much variety Weiner says that there is no danger that this country will lack sufficient supply of staples, or that the American diet will lack any of its vital clements We may have to cut down little sugar, tea coffee bananas. But these commodities have yet reached no serious state of scarcity.
 As far as clothes go, Weiner states that it now appears that rationing of clothing will not be sary this year. We may have to wear more cotton on account of the military demand for wool.
 We are feeling the gasoline and rubber shortage to some extent but not as severely shortages of these vital war materials felt in other countries. Rubber is the most serious and it may be necessary to make gasoline rationing more strict in order to conserve rubber. If the American people turn in a sufficient amount of scrap rubber in the current paign we may still be able to get reasonable amount of this fuel for civilian use
 Housing restrictions have become necessary due to the demand for lumber by the military and war industry The building of non essential homes is curtailed
 This, according to Weiner, represents general picture of what the future holds for us. And it's rosy compared to the future other nations face We haven't begun to feel tne pinch yet

he wished, but that he tKing) had to know what the U. s. Fleet faced in the Atlantic. So the President gave him permission to send one Of his own Atlantic Fleet officers to look over the British situation.
 What King and other Army Navy commanders are chiefly wor- ried about is the British position in the Near East. Here morale $ reported at low ebb; troops are still poorly equipped. All of which may be highly exaggerated. But U. s. Army and Navy strategists want 10 know-without any British censor ship"
 Note.-- Again after the Church. ill-Roossvelt conversations last De- cember American newspapers told how Admiral King was skeptical about Churchill's plan to make Lib va a second front, wanted to con- centrate on the Dutch East Indies and Australia instead. This time, however, the American press, thanks to new and more rigorous censor ship, can carry no details of the Churchlll- Roosevelt conversations except for what Churchill himself announced in the House of Con- mons.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not cOmpe"
WEDNESDAY, JULY 8


 The Sun appears to rule today in a way fortunate for those who direct the activities of thei rfellow men. It should be favorable for admirals, generals and government heads.
 HEART AND HOME: Fairly good news may be expected in letters re- ceived today. While it is not a lucky sway for initiative, routine matters should proceed satisfactor- fly. Through coming weeks the seers predict that telepathy will prove possible where sons or husbands are in distant lands in the service of their country. Science will investi- gate many cases of precedence as well as other forms that denote ex- trasensory perception. Colors will take on a new significance.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Surprising adjustments will benefit wage earn CTS and small businessmen as money in plentiful streams circulates free ly. Imitation will be well controlled although generous spending cannot be prevented through the vacation period As usual in wartime the nations emergency will give op- portunity to few to amass for tunes legitimately Cases of graft and profiteering will be uncovered from time to time. A record break ing peak of production will stimu- late national optimism.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: As women in industry increase and enlistments for auxiliary war service rise, groups will push the campaign for equal rights and will call attention to dis criminations of various sorts due to legislation in years when full citi- zenship was denied. Congress will heed importunities as wives and mothers as well as young girls dem onstrate their efficiency in shops and factories. The war is to bring about wide recognition for women of all ages.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS As Jupiter is the ruling planet of the United States the tran s t through the sign of Cancer is be- lieved to indicate continued good fortune for the Allied Nations. For the next year or less the might of the United States will be demon strated so forcibly and so sweepingly that there will be no doubt of com ing victory It is now predicted that the war will end suddenly; much earlier than experts have prophesied that peace would be attained. Again warning is given that the Axis will make frequent peace overtures be- fore complete defeat has been suf- fered, as it must be if future world conflicts are to be prevented.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the promise of a successful year but special care of letters is enjoined. Favors may be expected from per- sons in authority.
 Children born on this day have the forecast of success and popular ity from early years. Strong char acters are indicated.

LABOR SHORTAGE

War chiefs apprehensiyely expect the real pinch i'll labor shortage to develop this fall--unless the Man Power Board takes forceful mea- sures to avert such crisis.
 So far MPB has done little con- crete. It has pow-wowed frequent ly and lengthily, issued some gen. eralizeG announcements. But It has yet to institute any specific measures to provide the additional millions of workers who will be needed as the stupendous war pro- duction program moves into peak stride.
 Experts estimate that more than 5,000,000 additional workers will be needed in this new industrial ar my. That is, 5,000,000 more than now are employed in war plants.
 With employment already at an all-time record, new sources of labor supply must be tapped. These sources, according to the experts, are CD women; @ workers em- ployed in non-war Consumer goods) industries; t3 youths under draft age.
 Still another major labor pool listed by the experts is, longer work ing hours. This is very hot po- tato and will have to be handled gingerly. But sooner or later it will have to be faced-both by the gov ernment and by the unions.

ANOTHER TOuGH ONE

Shifting labor from consumer goods plants to war work also is a touchy problem. In many cases 1t will mean moving large numbers of workers from one town or one section to another-which won't be easy especially for employees of long established plants.
 However, hundreds of firms com pelieo to convert to war production weren't oyerjoyed at that hardship. And it is no picnic for the millions Of men in the Army.
 Women already Hooking into in- duStry in large numbers are con- sidered by the experts as the key to the labor shortage problem. It Is estimated that there are more
