on beehive coke, pretZels, chewing gum,
dental equipment, dolls, greeting cards,

Already the United States has been
cut off from its supplies of many goods
in daily use by millions of Americans.
and the commodity specialists have the
responsibility of uncovering other sup
ply sources from areas to which this
country still has access, and suggesting
substitutes for materials no longer avail
able here.
Economic warfare has two objectlves.
First. to strike at the Nations enemies
by denying them materials needed in
their war effort. Second, to assist allied
and friendly countries obtain the goods
required to keep their national economies
functioning as efficiently as possible.
AS part of this second objective. Com
merce Department specialists have pre-
pared for the use of Economic Warfare
Board studies of the essential require
ments Of the countries fighting the Axis,
and those that are friendly to the cause
of the United Nations. Preparation of
these reports has required extensive re-
search, and an analysis of information
received from our embassies and lega-
tions abroad and the data assembled
by American businessmen engaged in
foreign trade.
Though there is no lack of junior and
other economists on the civil service
lists, 1t is no easy job to find qualified
experts on particular commodities, such
as coffee. cork and medicines. Demand
for commodity specialists, at present, Is
greater than the supply.

TN BOMBING Davao. Gen. MacArthur's
l. air forces struck at longtime Japa-
nese settlement in the Philippines that
the invaders used as a strategic foothold
In effecting their easy conquests of
Borneo, Celebes and other Southwest
Pacific islands.
When the Japanese first invaded the
Philippines last December, they landed
troops in Davao without difiiculty. To
those acquainted with Davao, this was
no surprise.
But although Davao is located IN
Southeastern Mindanao, it is now becom-
ing apparent with the conquest OF Ba-
taan in Luzon and the invasion of Cebu,
most important Of the Visayan. insular
will make their last stand against the
invaders on the second largest Philippine
island. The explanation is that Min
danao is still mainly virgin territory,
whose vast, thick jungles favor the de-
tenders in guerrilla fighting.
The Japanese, moving from Davao to
the interior, now threaten the Moros
around Lake Lanao in the northern part
of Mindanao Recently 10000 of these
warlike Mohammedans, headed by Sultan
Sa Ramain Alauya Alonto, who was
elected member of the Philippine Sem
ate last November. reaffirmed their 10y
atty to the United States and swore upon
the Koran not to lay down their krises
and kampilans until the japanese were
driven out of Mindanao. rs
Characteristic Reply.
To this Moro challenge the japanese
promptly made characteristic reply.
They bombarded zamboanga, site of
historical military fort. and set it on fire
With the small United States garrison
there. composed of Americans and Moros,
unable to hold the city of $4,000 people,
the invaders occupied this ancient port
of call in the southwestern part of Min
danao.
With both the largest ports and cities,
Zamboanga and Davao, in their hands,
the japanese are now attempting to ex-
ecute pincers movement on the Amer
icanFilipino forces including the pic
turesQue Lanao MoroS, in Northern Min
danao. The invaders are in a position
to land necessary reinforcements at
both ends Of the elephant-shaped island
However. American Filipino forces have
not been rendered unable to make sur
prise counerattacks on the Japanese in
zamboanga and other places. They
have inflicted considerable damage on
the enemy in a number of such Sorties
When the invaders first landed troops
in Davao, city of $4,000, they were
merely reinforcing their nationals al
ready in Davao Province. 1t later 'ap-
peared that a military force of some
10000 japanese residents had been or
ganized there to assist the invading
troops.
