On a June day, when a gentle
breeze brought the scent of new
mown grass in through the White
House windows, President Roosevelt
sat at his desk and read slowly to
a group of correspondents from a
typewriter sheet. 1t wasn't for
NAL document but it was an historic
one-its purpose was to remind the
italian people that the military cam
paign against them which had just
scored another Allied victory, Pan
telleria, was the result of the mis-
conduct of their rulers.
The message has been variously
interpreted since, but to me, it con-
tanned one significant point-the re-
minder Of the coming birth of new
nation; the new Italy which will
emerge when the chains of AFRO
gance and brute aggression which
bind her are broken. There has
been much talk about postwar po-
Icing of the re-made world; little
thought of the philosophy which will
underlie the forms which the reborn
governments must follow. To me,
such philosophy is set forth in a
work of pure fantasy. A hopeful
note for nations and men is sounded
in this delightful fairy tale by an
author who found spiritual rebirth
in the tragedy of the fall of his own
nation.
I refer to Antoine de Saint-Ex-
upery and his latest work, 1.-THE Lit
tie Prince"
Those who have read his might
Flight" wind, Sand and Stars"
and Flight to Arras" are not sur
prised that he could create fairy
tale as delicate as this. Reviewers
have disagreed as to whether it is
for children or for adults. I believe
it is for both, like "Alice in Wonder
land" But the adult will find in
''The Little Prince something more
than artistry and the children will
sense that, too, I think.

nothing but little boy who is just
like hundred other little boys. And
I have no need of you. To you, I
am nothing more than a fox like a
hundred thousand other little foxes.
But if you tame me, then we shall
need each other. To me, you will

to shine on my life. I shall know
the sound of step that will be diff

send me hurrying back underneath
the ground. Yours will call me like
music out of my burrow. And then
look: you see the grain fields down
yonder. I do not eat bread. Wheat
is of no use to me. The grain fields
say nothing to me and that is sad.
But you have hair that is the color
of gold. Think how wonderful that
will be when you have tanned me.

her but he couldn't understand her

why. He finally reached the earth,

New Zealand, with Australia, Is
the food basket Of American forces
stationed throughout the South Pa
cific area. In order better to pro-
vide for the needs OF our troops In
remote Pacific islands, New Zealand
has greatly increased her capacity
for the packing, canning and dehy-
dration of meats, vegetables and
dairy products. Although its popula-
ton is less than 100000, this do
minion has supplied the United
States under reverse lease-lend and
without charge with more than 170,-
000,00 pounds Of foodstuffs during
the year ending June 80, 1943, as
follows:
Fresh meat, 4e, $50 900 pounds.

Civilian Clothing Rationed.
New Zealand also supplies numer-
Gus articles OF clothing, including
shoes and textiles. to United States
forces as reverse lease-lend aid.
When American requirements were
added to those Of local forces, New
Zealand found 1t necessary to ration
the civilian supply Of clothing to less
than one full outfit per year.
American requirements under re-
verse lease-lend have also occa-
stoned shortages in many other
phases Of New Zealand's civilian life
Nevertheless, the dominion con-
tinues greatly to expand the scope
and volume of her reverse lease lend
to the United States. and during the
present fiscal year about s65 600 900
has been budgeted for this purpose
While no official report has yet
been received from the Government
Of India, our Army reports total ex-
penditures by India for reverse lease
lend aid of approximately $50 900, 600,
divided as follows: Military stores
and equipment, &5,421 900.
Transportation and communica-
ton, $3.161 900.
Petroleum products. $13, 3,l27 900.
Construction, $31,4l3,O00.
Subsistence, $3,778, 900.
Total, $56, ,900, 900.
We have received aviation gas
oline, motor gasoline and lubrlcating
oil. and lesser amounts of other
petroleum products from the Indian
government for use by American
forces.
A part of the motor fuel has been
used in number of trucks and pas
senger cars given our troops without
payment as reverse lease lend aid.
In addition, United States Army
groups have been accorded postal,
telegraph, and telephone facilities,
water and electric power, furnishings
for buildings, and items OF clothing,
including mosquito and gasproof
outfits.
