1t will take some time, with the best Of luck, to
prepare the Chinese base for the demolition program

continued aggression against Jop-held naval and dir

Tea propaganda Is one of the
latest nifties thought up by the
Office of War Information for
overseas consumption. 1t seems
that the water supply of the
North African countries never
has been any too pure, so the
natives brew a strong green tea,
boiling the water to kill the
germs, and flavoring with a big
COB of sweetening that produces
a syrup-like tea mixture which
is part of the basic diet. Trou-
BILE is, North Africa's green tea
imports have been cut off. So
