this additional acreage yield bigger
crops" said the statement, farm
ers will have to rely on soil manage
ment, including intelligent rotation,
application of the correct analysis
of fertilizer for particular crops and
soils and the growing of fertility
building legumes.
London: Seventy Czechs, taken to
Germany for forced labor, were re-
ported shot after a strike in the

NAZI RACKETEERS

Hitler's semi-hysterical demand
that his stooge Reichstag vote him
more dictatorial powers-which it
promptly did-was of particular in
terest to Intelligence authorities in
the light of secret information con-
corning recent scandal in high
Nazi circles.
According to confidential report
it was discovered that well-organ-
lied racket, protected by big-shot
Nazis, was looting the food supplies
of U-boats when at their home ports.
The Criem company would re-
ceive a tip from a Nazi functionary
that a certain sub commander had
orders to provision his craft for sail
ing. A Criem agent, sometimes a
woman, would contact the officer
and offer an attractive price on food
supplies.
The order would be placed for
various items which only sub crews
are allowed to have, such as eggs,
coffee, preserved fruits and choco-
late. A Nazi steward, member
of the gang, checked off the order
as fully received and signed the
vouchers for payment.

JUCOSLAVIA:
Harassing Hitler

Out of Istanbul, Turkey, came a
report that the Nazis were being
forced to send additional large num-
bers of troops into Jugoslavia to
quell the general attack by Gen.
Draja Mikhailovitch's Serbian army.
Guerrilla warfare and sabotage
have been sweeping the area in in
creasing degrees since the passing
of winter and sending of Nazi forces
here on the eve of Germany's spring
offensive was good news to the Rus
SLAMS.
Confusion and disorder in Bel
grade and the surrounding territory
has been caused by the nightly raids
of the Chetniks, much-feared guer-
rilla fighters. All this Serbian re-
sistance and sabotage is reported
growing in intensity despite the
wholesale destruction and mass exc
cutions by the NaZis.
Another dispatch told Of Jugoslav
leaders and British military experts
being dropped by parachute in the
area to aid in harassing the Nazis,

line in the Balkans.

WAR LABOR SUPPLY:
Reaches High Peak

Chairman Paul v. McNutt of the
War Manpower commission has es-
tirnated that the number of men en-
ployed in war work by the end
of 1912 may reach 17,500,0 COM
pared with 100000 at the begin
ming Of 1941.
McNutt said that although labor,
like materials, must be re-directed
for war production purposes, no
draft or reorganization of workers
is contemplated.
Labor Secretary Frances Perkins
reported total non-agricultural en-
ployment from mid-February to
mid-March was 40,298, 000-an in
crease of 300, 600 for the month and
an increase of 2,537 900 since March,
1941.
WPA officials reported more than
$4,000, 900 persons, not now consid-
cred workers and most of them I'm
skilled, are available for full or part
time war jobs, in addition to $780,
600 unemployed workers for whom
jobs have not been found. They in
clude housewives, students and per-
sons with physical handicaps.

ALASKAN HIGHWAY
Washington, d. C.

After all the hullabaloo about the
vitality needed military highway to
Alaska, it now looks as if it would
take at least two years, perhaps
nearer three years to build it. One
trouble is there is still an argument
about the route.
To date the army has picked a
route by way of Edmonton, center
of the prairie state of Alberta, which
is longer than the route advocated
by Alaskan territorial officials.
The Alaskan officials propose a
short quick route straight up from
the state of Washington to Prince
George, then on to White Horse.
Part of this-about 400 miles to
Prince George-already is built. And
if informed German, Italian and Jap
anese prisoners were put to work on
the remaining link, it might be
finished before winter.
However, both the army and the
Canadian government favor the
longer route via Edmonton. This
would follow the chain of Canadian
airports to Alaska. These airports
are operated by the Canadian Pacif-
ic railroad, which may be one sig
nifcant reason why the Canadians
want road to link them up.
The army originally picked
this route because last summer
some of its planes, en- route to
Alaska with green pilots, got
lost and cracked up. So it was
suggested that a highway link
ing the airports would serve as
a guide to airmen. The army
also favored this route in order
to send gasoline and supplies by
truck to air bases. The war
may be just about over, how
ever, before this interior high
way is built.

sOUICKIES' OUT?

The practice of granting army and
navy "quickie commissions" to un-
qualified civilians was condemned
by Rep. Charles I. Faddis of Penn
sylvania, chairman of house sub
committee on army matters.
At the request of Faddis, who de-
clared that congress must stop such
action, the house military commit
tee had written into the army pay
bill an amendment requiring that
future commissions be granted only
to graduates of officers training
schools, National Guard and ROTC
officers, or those who completed mil
itary courses at approved schools.
He stated that 'Too many of these
commissions are being issued. 1t
may be true that in certain cases a
man from civilian life is needed for
a commissioned post, but there is
no reason to commission a thousand
of them"

NON-VIOLENCE:
Gandhii's Defense

Mohandas K. Gandhi once more
proved his power over midas
masses when the All-India Congress
party's working committee decided
to urge policy of ''non-violent non
cooperation" if their country is in
vaded by Japan.
The Congress thus returned to the
ideas of Gandhi in spite of the more
belligerent attitude of Jawaharlal
Nehru and other party leaders who
have stated that India must fight.
Peace-loving Gandhi has advanced
his policy of non-violence to the
point of opposing the scorched earth
policy.
The British government again took
the blame for midas stand. The
Congress party's resolution declared
that such a policy was necessary.

| NAZI WARSHIPS:
Three CriDDLes

Last February when the three
Nazi warships, the battleships
Gneisenau and Scharnhorst, and the
cruiser Prinz Eugen, made their
startling escape from the Nazi-held
port of Brest through the English
channel, naval offensive in north
ern waters to cut the United Ma
tons Arctic supply line to Russia
was foreseen.
Now the British admiralty has ex-
planned why such action has been
lacking. An announcement from this
source indicates that the three ships
will be out of action for some time.
They were severely damaged, say
the British, by torpedo and bomb
ing attacks in their channel flight,
and by British mines and subma-
rine action later.
Thus instead of six powerful war
ships to smash at British and u. S.
fleets, the Nazis have only three
capable of immediate action.

FOUR DESTROYERS:

A new worlds record was estab-
ished at Kearney, N. j., when four
destroyers slid down the ways in a
mass launching which Gov. Charles
Edison of New Jersey described as
"the equivalent of a splendid naval
victory"
The destroyers were the U. S. S.
Fletcher, the U. S. S. Radford, the
u. S. S. Quick and the U. S. S. Mer-
vine. The exceedingly brief time in
which they were constructed plus
their condition 600 per cent COM

for the worlds record.

MADAGASCAR:
Il COuD

When British troops landed on the
French island of Madagascar to
forestall an expected coup by the
Japanese the United States state de-
partment was not long in announc-
ing that this country was in SYM
pathy with the move.
British sources explained that the
move was made after the Laval
French government in Vichy had
played host to visiting Japanese Of
ficials en- route to Berlin. And thus,
continued this story, the Vichy gov
eminent was very unlikely to put
up any opposition to a movement by
the Japs to seize the important is
land which is considered a vital base
for guarding the sea lanes in the
Indian ocean off the east coast of
Africa.
Retaliatory action by the French
was to be considered as an act of
aggression against the entire group
of the United Nations, according to
the U. S. state department and this
country, with Britain pledged to re-
turn the strategic island to France
after the war.

JAPANESE PROPAGANDA

Inside intelligence information is
that japanese propaganda agents
are now marshalling their forces for
a concerted attack against the Unit
ed States in Latin America, with
Argentina, Brazil, and Chile as focal
points.
Japan will resort to a number of
typical Axis methods to sway neu-
trail countries away from collabora-
ton with the United States, includ-
ing the AXis-worn tactics of making
overtures and giving assurances
that she has no imperialistic aims
toward these countries. On the 9TH
er hand, the Japanese will empha-
size that the United States has been
greedy in her international trade re-
lations and has imperialistic designs
on Central and South America.
In launching this propaganda at
tack japan has instructed her
agents to do everything possible to
solicit the goodwill of Spanish and
Portuguese Representatives in Lat
in American countries.
In addition to propaganda
agents and diplomatic represen-
tatives, Japan has recruited
agents in commercial firms
throughout both Europe and the
American countries to propa-
gandize persons of Latin culture
and Catholic faith. In this con-
nection, plans have been made
to 60 even so far as to try to
exploit his holiness, the pope.
Already $4,000 has been forward
ed to Japanese representatives in
Chile to be used in attempting to
bride government officials.
One of the most audacious phases
of the japanese plan is the one that
calls for an attempt to induce a
revolution in the United States by
cooperating with factional groups
within the country, and creating dis
sension among the people by sniping
at the Roosevelt administration.
ROOSEVELT FAMILY DINNERS
In the usher's office, just inside
the front door, an old-fashioned call
board is hung, to indicate when
| guests are in or out. There is space
for 20 names, but on recent day
it carried only the names of Mrs.
Roosevelt, Harry Hopkins and Lore
ma Hickok, longtime friend of both
the First Lady and Hopkins, who
often stays at the White House. (The
Presidents name is never entered
on the board.)
A year ago it was possible to drive
along Pennsylvania avenue, turn in
at the White House gate, hand a
calling card to the footman at the
front door and eventually receive an
invitation from Mrs. Roosevelt to
come for tea.
Today, the gates are closed and
heavily guarded. The two ave-
nues fanking the White House are
barred to traffic entirely. Never in
100 years has the White House been
so heavily guarded. The teas and
receptions are cancelled for the du.
ration, and the normally democratic
residence of the Chief Executive
stands cold and aloof.

MEANING OF UNITY
IN WAR EFFORT
THERE IS NO DOUBT about
America being collectively unit
back of the government in the world
contest in which we are engaged.
We are all of that unit. Every man,
woman and child wants the govern
ment to win.
But there is a difficulty. We must
be more than collectively support
ing the war. 1t must be more than
a government war. 1t must be in
dividually our war. We must think
of what losing it would do to each
individual and what stake each of us
has in the defeat of the Huns and
JapS.
We had that individual interest in
the First World war. We had it
largely because each individual had
definite part or place in it. We
had Liberty bond sales, with a
quota set up for each community,
each county, ward, township and
block. 1t was Joe Browns job
to see that Frank Mills bought one
or more bonds, and it was Frank
Mills job to see that George Smith
came across.
When it was not bond sales, it was
Red Cross, YMCA, Salvation Army,
Knights of Columbus, or some other
drive for war funds. In all these,
quotas were set and it was up to
the Individual to meet those quotas
in the field allotted to him or her.
Such efforts included the school chill
dren. They brought their pennies
and nickels and dimes, and made
sacrifices to do so.
That war was the individuals
war, with something definite for each
of us to do, and over which we
could, and did, enthuse. Through do
ing each individual job, we, indi-
vidually, hated the Germans. The
kaiser was the enemy, not only of our
government, but of each one of us.
To arouse the full force of Amer
lea, to make this an "all-out" war,
we must each have a definite job to
do, and we will do it. Civilian de-
Tense is only part of what we
need. With that must be civilian
offense-doing something on the
part of the individual that will hit
the enemy. We need brass bands,
flags flying and parades, of which
we, as individuals, will be part.
When each of us has been as
signed job to do, this will be an
individual as well as a national
war. When it is that, there will be
no doubt of its being an "all-out'
war.

CORRECIDOR:
CHAPTER Ends

Even as the first British Comman-
dos were landing on one important
island (See Column Tioo-Madagascar:
A Coup, American troops were en-
gagged in their last stand for the
Philippine island fortress, Corregi-
dor, in Manila bay.
For almost a month since the
fighting had ended on Bataan,
American forces commanded by
Lieut.. Gen. Jonathan M. Wainwright
had been holding this fortified rock
against a terrific air and artillery
pounding by the Japs, thoroughly en-
trenched on LuZon, across the bay.
The Jap's final assault ended after
about two days of constant hammer
ing from big guns and aerial bombs.
When the first Jap landings on the
island itself were reported, military
experts in Washington could see that
the end was near.
It was from Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur's headquarters in Melbourne,
Australia, that the blunt announce
ment finally came: General Vain
wright has surrendered Corregidor
and other fortified islands in Ma
Mia harbor." The other island
strongholds in addition to Corregi-
dor are Fort Mills, Fort Hughes,
Fort Drum and Fort Frank.
Then from Washington, the war
department reported that it had
az. received a message from
Corregidor that resistance of our
troops has been overcome. Fight
ing has ceased and terms are being
arranged covering the 'capitulation
of the island forts in Manila bay"

AUSTRALIA:
n jap Headache

For over a month the United Ma
tons had been letting the world
know, with Japan included, that
their strength in Australia was as
Stunning increased proportions.
American troops in large numbers
have been poured on to this CONT
nent to aid in its defense and to
participate in the expected offensive
action to recapture the East Indies
and the Philippines.
Evidence of this increased
strength has been indicated by the
news dispatches of hard-fought air
battles off the coasts of this impor-
tant outpost. In one weekend, Al
lied headquarters reported toll of
20 Jap planes destroyed and four
Jap ships blasted by planes in scat
tered battles to the north and north
east. In one thrilling 35-minute
fight four-motored Jap flying boat
was severely damaged.
This activity added impetus to the
reasoning projected by military
strategists to the effect that Japan
was concentrating naval forces pre-
paratory to a flank attack on U. S.
communications in the South Pacific.
Japan must cut these vital lines
If she would stall the threatened
offensive against her. With the u. S.
occupation of the French island OF
New Caledonia these communication
lines of the United Nations have
heen further secured
Alarmed by this news, Japan's
opening moves were seen coming
from the Marshall islands either
through the Gilbert and Ellice is.
lands or through the Solomon islands
and the New Hebrides. Added to
these developments was the earlier
report that strong Jap naval forces
which had gathered in the Bay OF
Bengal as threat to India had
suddenly disappeared. Only the Japs
knew where they were headed, but
the United Nations expected next tc
see them along the sea lanes be.

said: Nov, young men, which
would you prefer? The five wise

The vote was unanimous,
