fense by a people of unlimited cour- age. And now she bids fair not only to hold her segment of the ring but even to strike telling blows. From her untapped manpower and her vast hinterland, she will still be formidable in l943.
 Russia will suffer greatly on the home front. But with the spirit of nationalism reawakened, with the furious hates against an enemy on her own soil cruelty butchering her people. she will keep fighting. But she will need help in food, cloth- ing and arms. .. ........
 China's Home Front
 have lived in China in years gone by. It is only in the last 25 years that she has developed a na- tional spirit of independence. That spirit has been fiercely infiamed by the invasion of her soil and bar- barrie treatment of her people.
 The living standard of the great mass of Chinese are always at bare subsistence level. Famine is the ex- perience of every Chinese village. At present she cannot be reached with uauch-needed supplies of food or arms. Yet she holds half of her hinterland from the Japanese.
 When we try to assess China's spirit, we must remember that Asiatic peoples are less sensitive to death and more stoic in misery than the Western people. The spiritual strength of their home front seems strong, but every possible heIp must be given to lesson her suf- ferings.
 The British Home Front
 For three years the British have made magnificent defensive war. They have lost many battles on the military front. Yet, with a nucleus of 05.0o0.0 900 white population. they have held their Empire of a half a billion people intact except for Burma, Malaya and the Chinese cities.
 The Battle of Britain was the greatest home-front battle of his. tory. They won by the greatest display Of organization, magnificent courage and fortltude on the part of c civilian population that has ever been witnessed.
 The people on the homo front in Britain are the great heroes of this war. Despite Air destruction they have reached the highest point in their industrial production.

How many of your pet books do you suppose are in the bookcases of your loving friends; and (be honest now) how many books you "borrowed' yourself never found their way back to their original owners and are still on your own book shelves? Most of us are sub- ject to attacks of guilty conscience when we notice 0 borrowed book whose owner can't be located or whose lender we can't even re. memberl Why not 90 through your book collection, extracting all the borrowed books that cannot be re- turned for one reason or another, and then take them to the local collection station for the Victory Book campaign?

portionately more materials than ours.
 Britain's greatest problem is the submarine. Her survival on the home front depends upon conveys of materials and food from the United States. If her civil popula- ton can be protected from a de- gree of privation which might un- demine its physical strength, they will fight endlessly. There can be no question of their determined spirit.
 The American Home Front
 On our home front we are in a more favored position than our Allies in one great particular. The airplane has rendered the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans wider instead of narrower. No effective sea attack against the Western Hemisphere is now possible against adequate land based planes and our navy. We need have no fear that enemy arTn- les will march through the United States in this war. If we hold our outlying bases we do not need to fear the destruction of systematic air attacks. While we are disc0In- moded, we do not need fear being starved out by submarine blockade.
 Our task on the home front is different from that of any other nation in the war. We must not only raise large military forces, equip them and transport them overseas but we have an enormous further burden. We must furnish finance. food and munitions to the ether United Nations. We must do this in the face of the Axis sub- marine blockade and the Japanese conquests, which reduce our nor- maj supplies of many commodities from overseas. And we must sup- port our civil population in such Q fashion that thelr physical strength and spirit are not ex. hausted.
 If we are to perform these taslrs SO as to get this var ever without delay. we have no margins for the waste of blunders or mismanage- ment on our home front.
 Production Urgent
 Our job Is production, produc- ton and more production. And it is production Of planes. ships and arms. and food right now. if the United Nations are to aggresslvely tighten the rings around the Euro pean and Aslatic Axis, and if we are t0 compel their continuing in- lernal degeneration by effective ate triton.

and organization of our civilian front.
 Our fighting forces have avaiied themselves of every experience and every lesson from World War in building their organization. But these experiences and these lessons have been largely ignored and even repudiated on our civilian front.
 All nations in that war. Britain. France, the United states. and even 0eFmany-had to pioneer the way to total civilian organization. In the end, they all arrived at certain common principles of organization. our initial and continuing mistake in this war was ignoring the expert- ence and these principles. Only in the past few months has their validity been recognized and only yet partially adopted.

When you hear Marine called
"Leatherneck," it has nothing to
do with the epidermis of his neck.
Years ago the Marine uniform was
equipped with a high stiff leather
collar. From that time on, ''Leath-
erneck" has been the word for a
Marine. The word for his favorite
cigarette is 'Camel'-the favorite
cigarette also of men in the Army,
Navy, and Coast Guard. (Based
on actual sales records from serv-
ice mems stores.) And though
there are Post Office restrictions
on packages to overseas Army
men, you can still send Camels
to soldiers in the U. S., and to men
in the Navy, Marines, and Coast
Guard wherever they are.-Adv.
