LEND LEASE:
Extension Sought

Congress is already considering
the extension of the lend-lease act
by another year-to June 30, 1914.
This early action has been taken to
insure an uninterrupted flow of war
materials between the United States
and our fighting Allies.
Though there are some verbal out
bursts expected on the role of Harry
Hopkins in the program, even Re-
publican minority leaders in con-
gress predict approval Of an extern
sion for the plan. Two years ago
when it was first introduced the
United States was not at war and
there evolved one of the greatest
legislative battles of history over
passage of the measure putting the
idea in motion.
Representative Sol Bloom intro
duced the new measure just n
day after Edward R.. Stettinius Jr.,
lend-lease administrator, reported to
congress OF how the eight billion dol
lar distribution of aid was made to
our Allies under terms of the pro
gram from March II, 1941, to the
end of 1912.

RALLYINC CRY:
For Russians

I declare my appreciation to the
command and to the gallant troops.
Forward to the routing of the Ger
man invaders and their expulsion
over the boundaries Of our mother
land" So declared Josef Stain in
an order of the day broadcast by
the Moscow radio.
His words, urging the Russians to
throw the Nazis out of their country,
became the rallying cry of the Red
army al it pushed forward in the
big offensives aimed at Kursk,
Kharkov and Rostov. After the fall
OF these strategic points there were
still miles of hard battling ahead,
but for the first time since the Nazis
started their invasion of Russia
there were definite signs that Sta
Inns plea was not idle thinking.
For everywhere along the far
flung front-from Leningrad to the
Caucasus-the Reds added momen-
'tum to their drive. Russian military
quarters estimated that 40 per cent
of the Axis electives had been
knocked out by the Red winter Of
fensive.
At the same time diplomatic cir
cles revealed that United Nations
air and sea supply lines to Russia
were getting much better protec-
ton than a few months ago because
losses on these routes have dropped
sharply. One recent U. S. convoy
was reported to have reached Rus
STA without loss of a single ship.
1t was indicated that close U. S.
British : Russian cooperation was
making this possible.

RATIONINC:
Limit Set

With the beginning Of r%ationing
but a few weeks away the Office Of
Price Administration established a
fve-can-per-person limit as the
amount Of canned vegetables and
fruits which householders might
have on hand, without penalty, at
the beginning of the point system.
This was a drastic cut from the
eight to ten cans which it had pre-
viously been expected would be al
lowed.
When the plan gets under way,
persons who have more than the al
lowable limits will have coupons torn
out Of their canned goods ration
book up to the point value of the
goods held in excess. This will be
based on one eight-point coupon for
each can over five per household
member.
Excluded from the count Of five
cans per person will be cans con-
tanning less than eight ounces.

Ofensiues Will Tell

While the decisions made by mill
tary leaders are secret, observers
indicated that concrete results
would become apparent with new
Allied offensives this spring.
The basic questions settled ap-
peared to be these:
l. The first great effort must be
to drive the Axis entirely from North
Africa and free the Mediterranean
supply line.
2. If he has not been chosen al
ready, a supreme Allied command
er in Europe will be named.
3. The anti-submarine warfare and
air war against Europe will be
stepped up.
4. Europe will be invaded in one of
three ways: Across the Mediterra-
mean, a frontal attack on the chan
mel coast, or a conquest of Norway.
S. Aid to Russia and China will
be stepped up as much as possible.
OF immediate interest to the Unit
ed Nations is the naming of a su-
preme military commander. The
name of Gen. George c. Marshall,
chief of staff of the American army,
is most frequently mentioned. Many
observers believed he had already
been decided upon to head the COM
mand.

FARM PICTURE:
Incentive Plan

Under terms of the new "incen-
tive" program as announced by Sec
rotary of Agriculture Claude Wick
ard, U. S. producers stand to pick
up an extra 100 million dollars in
subsidy payments to be awarded
for meeting or exceeding greatly
expanded farm production goals.
Applicable to soybeans, grain sor-
ghums, peanuts. sweet potatoes, fax
and dried peas, the program would
pay growers of these crops extra
benefits for each acre on which they
exceed 80 per cent of their goal
up to ITO per cent of that goal.
These are products which are badly
needed in the war effort to meet
deficiencies in vegetable oils and
proteins for animal feeding AID hui
man consumption.
Wickard stated further that add
ed labor and materials will have to
be available to farmers if they are
to meet the goals of the program.
Land Army
AS a means to this end Secretary
Wickard and Manpower Commits
sioner Paul v. McNutt released
their plans for the mobilization of a
volunteer land army of 81 million
farm workers. These would be gath
cred from ranks of women, the I'M
employed, clerks, and nonwar work
ers from cities and towns.
Aimed at relieving the expected
farm manpower crisis, which ex-
perts predict will reach its peak in
midsummer, this land army would
be gathered by the joint activities
extension agents of the department
of agriculture and by the field Of
fees of the War Manpower com
mission.
More than IL million farm work
ers will be needed at the height of
the farm season. said Wickard. He
pointed out that the total farm la
Dor force in December, 1912, was
5000, 900.
