BUTTER:
Rationed in Canada

Forecasting an action which many
experts believe will be inevitable in
this country, Canada officially under
took 10 ration butter by coupon with
a weekly allowance of one-half a
pound per person.
Butter became the fifth commod-
ity rationed by coupon in the Domin-
ion. The others are gasoline, sugar.
tea and coffee. Rubber, particular
ly for tires, is likewise rationed,
but not by coupon. Voluntary ra-
tioning exists with a few other com
modities, notably meat.
Chairman Donald Gordon Of the
Wartime Price and Trade board
said that butter rationing had been
made necessary because of hoard
ers. Some greedy and unscrupu-
lous people," he charged, "aggravat-
ed local butter shortages and placed
a serious strain on the distribution
of the commodity. AS a result pam
ic buying was in evidence"

RETAIL PRICES:
To Be Standardized

Starting with meats and soaps,
retail prices for foods and other gro
Gerry items were scheduled for
Standardization under a new pro-
gram announced by the Office of
Price Administration.
Under the new plan starting Janu-
airy IS, individual ceiling prices for
grocery items based on March, 1912,
levels, was to be replaced by a fiat
dollars and cents price ceiling. Pur-
pose of the new order. officials said,
was to establish a simpler method
Of determining what the top legal
price should be. The plan specified
that retail stores be grouped as in
dependents. chains, and supermar-
kets. Each store in the same class
would have the same ceiling prices.
Standard prices were to be of two
types-either fixed dollar and cents,
OF percentage markup.
OPA officials declared that the
new regulations would eliminate a
lot Of reports and paper work.

BURMA:
WareU Marches

The Burma road and China still
lay many leagues distant, but Gen.
Archibald Wavell's British Imperi-
ais had begun the long march from
India designed ultimately to sweep
the Japs out of Burma and estab-
lish direct and effective junction
with Generalissimo Chang Kai-
shek's hard-pressed Chinese armies.
Content with methodically taking
first things first. the British concen-
trated on nearby detectives. Strik-
ing suddenly between the Bay of
Bengal and the Masu river, Wavell
drove into Burma with the Japanese
coastal air base at Akyab as his ini-
tial target. In the first stages of
the campaign enemy resistance had
been slight. Jap strategists had APP
parently relied on the dense Burma
jungle to impede British progress
while they organized in force to hold
key detectives.
Air power assumed an important
part in the campaign. with British
planes bombing Jap-held towns
along their route and American
planes strafing Lashio, Burmese
terminal of the Burma road. In re-
taliation the Japs bombed Calcutta.
Long-range significance of Wavell's
move would be greater than its i'm
mediate results, military observers
agreed. First, by moving aggressive
ly into Burma, Wavell was safe
guarding wavering India. Moreover
he was obtaining closeup operating
space for his air forces to harry Jap
holdings at Rangoon and Mandalay.
But most important of all, the Allies
were giving China visible proof that
they we're capable of deeds as well
as words.

NEW GUINEA:
,3-Ply Ofensire

General MacArthur's New Guinea
offensive continued with hopping up
activities after the significant cap
ture of Buna village-enemy bastion
on the northeast coast of the Papuan
peninsula.
Two immediate detectives had re-
manned before Macarthur undertook
the large task Of completely dislodg-
ing the Japs from New Guinea. One
was to clean up the Buna Mission
area, take over its airfelds and COM
pletely liquidate the remaining Jap
defenders. The other was to con.
tinue the pressure against Enemy
positions at Salamaua.
1t was significant of the ~increas-
ingly efficient American service of
supply that for the first time since
he undertook the offensive that Gen.
eral Macarthur was able to launch
attacks with "co-ordinated support
of tanks, artillery and aviation"
A communique from Allied head
quarters disclosed that 13-ton Amer
ican-built General Stuart tanks had
been in action in the swamps and
jungles of New Guinea. The com.
munique also reported the destruc.
tipn of two medium-sized Japanese
cargo vessels in Finschafen harbor,
$50 miles north Of Buna.

AXIS CONFERENCES:
Mediterranean Moves?

Known only to those who were
hurriedly summoned to Hitler's
headquarters were the subjects dis
cussed when Count Galeazzo Ciano
and Chief of Staff Marshal Ugo
Cavallero of Italy met with the
fuehrer, Reichsmarshal Hermann
Goering and chief Of the high COM
mand Gen. Wilhelm Keitel. But OBJ
rivers were quick to point out that
new Axis moves in Italy. France
and Africa were to be expected.
Two immediate facts of signif-
were noted in the meeting.
One was the absence of Mussolini-
an absence which strengthened u r
rent reports concerning his serious
illness. The other was the summon
ing to the conference OF Pierre
Laval, Vichv premier of France and
Observation-Disclosures with the Axis.
With Hitler stubbornly defending
his last footholds in Africa and with
Italian civilian morale shaken by
repeated Allied bombing attacks,
moves calculated to bolster both
situations faced the Axis chieftains.
Still an ominous question-mark in
the Mediterranean-Africa theater
was Franco-ruled Spain. While the
Spanish dictator had modified his
army in the south perilously close
to Gibraltar and Morocco and had
used his radio for brash Axis propa-
ganda, he had not yet violated his
neutrality pledge. But the meeting
of his foreign minister Count Jor-
dana with Portuguese Premier De
Oliveria simultaneously with the
Axis conference was regarded by
some observers as a cause for mis-
giving by the Allies.

NORTH AFRICA:
ROmmel Marathon

Deeper into Tripolitania the rem
nants of Marshal Rommel's' Afrika
Korps had plunged. In spite of
British General Montgomery's bril-
liant thanking move hemming in the
Nazis' rearguard, the %retreating
main German body was able to con-
tinue its move.
Several alternatives had been
open to the now-defated Rommel.
One was to make a stand at Misu-
rata, but since his previous efforts
at such tactics proved fruitless, mill
tary prognosticators were convinced
his destination was nonstop to Tuni-
STA to join Gen. Walthen Nehring.
Further to the west Allied air pow
er had steadily stepped up its tempo
and this growing plane strength hint
ed at an early end to the stalemate
which had characterized the Tuni-
STA front in recent weeks. Land
fighting was still of a desultory
nature, but in the air the United
Nations were increasing the inten-
sity of their attacks against Tunis
and Bizerte.
That the Allied command had pre-
pared grimly and we'll for its all
out attack on Tunis and Bizerte was
evident in its use of French North
African forces to envelop the Axis
positions from the south and east.
Radio Morocco quoting a French
communique said the French had
struck toward the east coast south
east of Pont du Fahs, 30 miles south
of Tunis, taking numerous prison.
ers, guns and supplies.

SOVIET SURPRISE:
Offensive PeriIs Nazis

Two other Soviet offensives had
been launched earlier-the first at
Stalingrad and the second to the
northwest near Rzhev. Both had
taken their toll Of Nazi men and
equipment. Neither had threatened
disaster to the German winter &C.
cupation of Russia.
But now had come the third Red
offensive-this time aimed at the
Middle Don area. 1t had started
much the same as the other two,
with drives through German COM
munications, the capture of air fields
and the cutting off of rail lines and
roads. This third offensive, how
ever, had a momentum and con-
tinuity the other two had lacked. Its
apparent objective: To capture
strategic Rostov and cut off all the
German troops in the Don-Volga-
Caucasus RI
How well this roughshod drive had
succeeded over German resistance
was indicated by a Red high COM
mand communique announcing the
capture of Kamensk, rail and COM
m%unications center only IS miles
from Rostov. The fall of Morozov-
skaya on the Moscow-Rostov rail-
road was also reported. In a single
weeks operations &C, 1000 Nazis
killed or captured, the Reds an
nounced. So rapid and furious had
been the assault that 1000, 900 Axis
troops in the Caucasus and Don
Volga area appeared to be in immi-
nent danger of being cut off.
Soviet communicates reported that
German armies in the vicinity of
Novaya Kalitva and Kazanskaya
had "retreated in disorder" aban-
doning equipment and supplies in
their flight. Further confirmation
that the Nazis were Keeling back
before the Soviet sweep came in Ger
nan high command admissions that
the Russians had broken into the
Axis defense front on the central
Don after attacking with a strong
est concentration Of tank forma-
tons"
At Stalingrad the Reds were re-
ported continuing to wage offensive
battles. To the north at Velikie,
Luki which is only 80 miles east
Of the Latvian border, German coun-
ter-attacks were hurled back.
