AN IDEA!
"There goes the curse of the army"
said Lieutenant General Somerven
as thousands of rubber stamps were
tossed into a collection of old rub
Der. Which makes one realize that
somebody missed bet when they
failed to emphasize rubber stamps
in the rubber drive. Rubber stamps
are not only the curse of the army,
they are the curse of the country.
How about a last minute appeal to
America to throw its rubber stamps
into the war on the Axis? Nothing
could be better spared.
The Du Points have taken out a
patent under which they claim il
is possible to stamp women's hats
and clothes out of new fabric. Nc

AN EAST COAST CANADIAN
PORT, March 6.-Two tankers of
the Allied merchant fleets have
made their way into this port under
their own power after separate tor
pedo attacks in which gaping holes
were torn in their hulls.
Neither ship lost a man, although
the torpedo explosions ripped a hole
in the side of one large enough for
a submarine to sail into her hull.
The only tanker laden with gaso-
line at the time of the attack had
three-quarters OF her cargo still
aboard when she reached port.
The attacks occurred In widely
separated parts OF the Western At
lantic.
The deck gun crew of one OF the
tankers held of a submarine with
gunfire for an hour, driving it be-
meath the surface.
I'VE lost track of it, the captain
said. when it did get us with
torpedo, only God knows why the

is believed that the Japanese
plans for an immediate renewal
of the offensive were dislocated
by the success in the Subic Bay
air attack.
A copy Of an order issued by
the Japanese Army in the
Philippines, which has reached
Gen. MacArthur's headquarters,
directs the Filipinos in occupied
areas to surrender guns and
blade weapons of every descrip-
ton, including ornamental and
utilitarian knives and trophies.
This order would operate to
deprive the Filipino of his bolo,
which, although sometimes used
as a weapon, customarily serves
as tool. It is universally used
as an industrial and agricultural
implement. With his bolo, the
Filipino farmer builds his house,
fences his stock and harvests his
crops. Hence, if he surrenders
his bolo, he will find it difficult
to earn a livelihood.
This order is interpreted by
Gen Macarthur as indicating
that the invaders fear that the
increasing resentment Of the ma
tives may develop into a popular
uprising against the japanese.

The Government prosecutors,
William Power Maloney and Edward
j. Hickey, jr., special assistants to
the Attorney General, called Viereck
Germany's greatest propaganda
and exhibited his writings to show
he had engaged in the same work
during the First World War. They
charged him with concealing this
activity from the State Department
and carrying on his propaganda
under cover.
Viereck's indictment followed q
long investigation Of Axis propa-
ganda by special District grand
jury.
George Hill, formerly a clerk in
the Office of Representative Fish,
Republican, of New York, was in
dicted for perjury before the grand
jury. One of the counts charged
that Hill swore falsely that he did
not know Viereck. Hill was con-
victed and given q prison sentence
of two to six years.
Hill, who remained mute at his

New British Production
Minister Cites Capture Of

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 6.-The Ger
man threat to Egypt has been les
sened by the British campaign in
Cirenaica, Oliver Lyttelton declared
today on his return from his post
as Minister of State in Eastern
Mediterranean area.
He said $4,000 to 100000 tons Of
German ammunition had been cap
tured, and added that this, plus the
desert barrier over which the Axis
forces would have to attack, put the
British in "far better position for
the defense of Egypt than before" ;"
Lyttelton asserted that a base
established by the United States in
Eritrea lis going to be whacker." F"
He praised American material help
and said UNITED States officers and
men sent out there got down to
the Job with typical American thor
oughness and worked in closest CO.
operation with US"
Silent on New Offensive.
Returning to become Minister of
Production, Lyttelton declined to
discuss the possibility Of another
British offensive in North Africa.
He gave the impression, however,
that it would be almost impossible
for the Germans to develop another
real drive toward Egypt in the near
future.
The German air force sent whole
air fleet to support Field Marshal
Erwin Rommel's planned offensive,
he said.
"The British attacked first and
pushed him to Ain Ell Gazala, where
he lost another battle" Lyttelton
said
I'VE pressed after him with light
forces but he was able to collect q
small striking force for a counter
attack. We suffered a tactical de-
feat, which was not OF great impor-
tance, and temporarily lost territory.
The threat to Egypt has de-
creased as a result OF this cam
paign."
He said supply difficulties had
hampered both armies and recalled
the comment Of a captured German
general that desert war is a tao
tician's paradise and an administra-
tive staff officers hell"
Task to Guard Supply Lanes.
The prime task, Lyttelton said, is
to guard the supply lanes through
the Red Sea and into the Persian
Gulf through which help from the
United States and Great Britain Is
moving continually"
He said Britain was supplying
Cyprus, Palestine, Syria and 1raq
with wheat, but that plans were
afoot to make this entire area self
supporting.
The minister said Britain was
aware of the threat of possible
thrust from the northwest against
Northern Syria, Iraq and Iran, and
praised the development of rela-
tions between these three states.
