Superiority, He Says
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Nov. 2O.-While the
Allies have greater manpower re-
sources, the enemy has superior
land forces in the field according
to Undersecretary of War Robert
F. Patterson, who contends "it is up
to us to furnish the soldiers who
VIII give us superiority in numbers
over the Axis powers
He declared last night that "by
the end Of this year we will have
more. than 100000 men overseas. :"
but added:
There is no plan to send the en-
tire Army abroad"
Mr.. Patterson addressed the first
anniversary dinner of Freedom
House, which heard messages from
President Roosevelt and Prime Min
lister Churchill and a speech by w.
Averell Hartman, Minister to Great
Britain. =
Mr.. Roosevelt's message said "the
problems of victory and peace are
immediate and pressing they
are on our doorsteps today -. they
can be solved only by the free and
unself1sh collaborations OF all the
citizens of this democracy. banded
together by a common danger and
a common purpose
Mr.. Churchill said:
When this war Is won it will be
our FIRST duty to watch over the
victory We have gained and ensure
tnat no new tyranny is again al
lowed to loose tragedy upon the
world. 3 1t is not too soon for those
who are now beating down these
tyrants in war to prepare the vigil
lance which will defend the rights
and liberties which our arms will
have rescued and restored"
Mr.. Hartman asserted that he
participated in discussions last Au-
gust in which Mr.. Churchill in
formed Joseph Stain of plans for

both were frank and blunt-both
men spoke their minds"

an end to this nonsense that ire
sponslble people can judge what
strategic plans should be adopted or
how the tactics should be executed"
Mr.. Patterson said that in esti-
mating the need for soldiers I'VE
must bear in mind the long lines
OF communication that must be
strongly held" continuing:
In this the Axis powers have the
advantage, for their shorter, interior
lines require much less protection"
Mr.. Patterson declared that the
destruction of submarines will be
stepped up, and the day will finally
come, as it came in 1918. when Ger
man crews will refuse to 60 down
into submarines"

FARM PRODUCTION
CURTAlLMENT SEEN

That the manpower shortage in
Washington has reached such dan
gcrous proportions that acute cur
tailment Of farm production is al
ready under way was brought out at
q meeting in Seattle last week of a
special committee appointed by the
State Director of Agriculture at the
suggestion Of General H. G.. Wind
sor, Director of the State War Man.
power commission
The committees report found that
'near-famine conditions are develop
ing in our milk supply" and that
increased numbers of dairy cattle
are being sold daily, while farmers
are unable to plan future produc-
ton because of the labor shortage
and uncertainty as to how it can be
overcome.
Factors causing the farm labor
problem, the committee found, in
clude Cd the farmers inability to
pay wages equal to those of war
industries, (2) enlistment of farm
workers in the armed services, re-
CARELESS of their eligibility for draft
deferment. and CD uncertainty due
to the temporary nature of defer
ment of essential workers.
In addition. farm production is
decreasing because of the employ
ment of unskilled labor, particular
ly in the dairy industry, and the
vegetable production has been seri-
ously handicapped, not only by price
and wage factors. but by the remov-
al of the Japanese farmers who had
previously grown a large proportion
of these products.
The situation has been aggravated
by the increased war activity and
by the armed forces in the State.
which have multiplied the demand
for food products

two inches combined length and
to voluntarily observe the following
limitations:
Volume not to exceed that of an
ordinary shoe box or weight not to
exceed six pounds. If this size of
package is voluntarily adhered to,
the Navy points out, it will greatly
increase the chances of all the men
at sea receiving Christmas gifts.
The package should he sturdy in
order to withstand handling and
piling The articles themselves
should be easily portable and useful
in any climate. Food should not be
sent under any circumstances, al
though such items as vitamin pills
are acceptable. Clothing should not
he sent unless it has been specifi-
cally requested.
The address must be complete in
all respects and return address
given The same regulations in re-
gard to addresses apply to parcel

REVISED INSTRUCTIONS
ON INCENDIARIES

The revised instructions on in
cendiary bombs, are issued at the

equipment to the scene at once.
2. Stand more than eight feet a.
way from the bomb.
3. The necessary Jet or stream can
be obtained from garden hose, any
water-tight fire extinguisher, pump
tank extinguisher or stirrup pump.

the bomb without delay.
5. Do not be frightened by mo-
mentary flash of light and scatter
ing of metal when water hits bomb
6. Use ash can lid. small chair or
wet blanket for shield.
7. Then use the jet. quickly, to
quench fragments and the remains
of the bomb, aud any fires that may

Recommendations for the re-
lief of millions of workers who
had been and will be displaced
from their jobs temporarily by
the war production program
were first proposed by the Ex-
ecutive Council Of the American
Federation of Labor last Janu-
airy. The Executive Council
urged that such workers be paid
maximum of $28 a week until
they could be put back to work
aagin.
Shortly thereafter President
Roosevelt sent a message to
Congress asking for a $300,000,-
600 appropriation so that those
disemployed by the war could be
paid a maximum Of $24 week
for a limited period Of 26 weeks.
