Sugar Cane
By FLORENCE WEED

(Thfs is one of series Of articles show

portant market In Industry
Some Of the attractive colorful
rooms in modern homes are made
with wall board Of pressed sugar
cane. Time was when no one knew
what to do with sugar cane bagasse
after the sugar was extracted. Tons
were either destroyed or burned as
fuel in the sugar mills. Then In
dustrial chemists found a way to
press the cane refuse into long
fibers. to felt and weave 1t into long
board sheets.
Chemists have also found that a
cheap molding compound can be
made from bagasse. By grinding
the cane to a powder. combining It
with chemicals, the substance can
be nodded into fiat panels or floor
tiles.
Backers believe that this low
cost molding compound will enable
the plastics industry to branch out
into broader fields such as the man.
ufacture Of furniture, building mate
rails and parts for automobiles since
it can be made for less than half
the cost of the cheapest synthetic
compound known.

Knows His Germans

While warning that Germany is still militarily
strong and that hard fighting is ahead President
Eduard Benes, of Czechoslovalda predicts that Ger
many will collapse suddenly, just her army did in
Tunisa
Mr. Benes is not romancing. He is hard-headed
reast but he knows his Germans
To predict that the Germans will collapse, sud-
denly not to forecast short war or an early VIC
tory. How soon the collapse will come depends upon
how the blows directed upon the Nazis.
The quicker and the heavier our assault upon
Occupied Europe, the sooner the Nazs will give up
hope and, when that occurs, the end will be at hand
so far Germany is concerned.

Success In Warfare

The secret of German successes, in the earlier
period of the war; be explained by the Nazis
whelming superiority in the tools of warfare.
Similarly, the magnificent success of the Allied
army in Tunisia can be explained by overwhelming
superiority in the tools of warfare.
1t will be observed that the Axis occupied the
inner circle in operations in Europe and in Tunisia
The possession of this favorable position brought vic

Russ-Jap Friendsh:p-
And American Ships

On May 7, Washington had the
first official explanation Of the many
bombings of the Jap-held Aleutian
island Of Kiska. 1t said: UNITED
States air forces have established
military positions, including an air.
field on Amchitka and have been in
occupation Of this island since Janu-
ary."
The same day, the Associated
Press sent out a dispatch dated
February 16 delayed" might
say, "I'n say it was delayed"
1t began this way: Despite a
series of eight Japanese bombing
raids, this American airbase. only
few minutes flight from Kiska island
went into operation today"
quote all this to show what
highly confidential war we are rum
ming. BY the time this sees print
perhaps while I'm writing these
lines-Kiska may be in American
hands after land invasion which
it is admitted is the only way we
can Gust the enemy from this spot.
II the Japs have gone by the time
you read this, there will be a sigh
of at least partial regret in some
quarters. The reason is this. AS long
as the Japs are on anisland like Kiska
Cor GusdalcanaD more Japs have
to try to reach them, to bring them
supplies and keep them alive. And
while that goes on, the Americans
have a chance to keep enemy
wounds open. Japs themselves are
expendable. They are cheap, the
sun god has lot Of them and he's
generous in spending them. But he
hasn't SO many ships or so many
supplies. So killing Japs doesn't
bother the Mikado nearly as much
as sinking his ships.
That is one reason the upturning
of the last Jap toes on any of their
stolen. far-fiung bases will be q
source Of at least partial regret.
There is another reason. Day in
and day out. from Vancouver and
Seattle. secret ships, loaded with
supplies for our Russian ally have
been calmly sailing away past the
Jap-held Kiska and Attu, under the
Japanese guns in the narrow waters
that lead to Vladivostok.
Now that was a little matter ap-
proved by Russia and Japan who
hate and fear each other privately
but officially are friendly nations"
The question arises now: When and
II we trounce the little men out of
the stronghold they have dug with
their hngernails in the rocky Attu
and Kiska. will they be as willing
to let us keep on shipping supplies
to Russia?
Perhaps 1t doesn't matter. BY
that time. which may be now, the
situation may have changed. The
interesting thing is that the situation
does change and thanks to the GEN.

Dispatches from Tunisa describe the disorganiza-

pressure.
The soldiers of the Axis who were so impressive
when the odds were with them in Poland France and
Greece, surrendered wholesale. Many of them had
ample supplies of food and ammunition.
The Tunisan victory demonstrates again that the
Germans are not "ast ditch" fighters When the tide
of battle turns against them they have stomach for
battle against great odds. They quit fighting and
they quit in a hurry.
