er seas but we havean enormous
further burden. We must furnish
finance, food and munitions to the
other United Nations. We must do
this in the face of the Axis SUBJ
marine blockade and the Japan
ee conquests, which reduce our
normal supplies of many commidi-
ties from overseas. And. we must
support our civil population in
such fashion that their physical
strength and spirit are not ex-
hauSted.
" If we are to perfornFtheSe tasks
so as to get this war over without
delay, we have no margins for the
waste of blunders or mismanage-
ment on our home front
Our job is production, produc-
ton and more production. And it
is production of planes, shops and
arms, and food right now, if the
United Nations are to aggressively
tighten the rings around the Eu-
ropean and Asiatic Axis, and if we
are to compel their continuing
internal degeneration by effec-
tive attrition.
We could wish for better con-
duct and organization of our civil
ian front.
Our fighting forces have avaiied
themselves of every experience
and every lesson from World War
l in building their organization.
But these experiences and these
lessons have been largely ignored
and even repudiated on our civil
ian front. ~
All nations in that war, Britain,
France, the United States, and
even Germany - had to pioneer
the way to total civilian organiza
ton. In the end, they all arrived
at certain common principles of
organization. Our initial and con-
tinuing mistake in this war was
ignoring this experience and these
principles. Only in the past few
months has their validity been
recognized and only yet partially
adotped.

During the last eighteen months

W 4Six months ago, under the pres

adopted for Greece. Greek lives
are being saved, although the
amounts are insufficient. Our
state department now reports that
the Germans do not benefit and,
our government encourages sup
port to the Greek committee. The
arguments against my proposals
have now proved to be wrong by
the Greek experience,
Is there now any reason why
the Swedes, and Swiss should not

The Germans can save their
people from famine by surrender.
These people are helpless.
Food for the small democracies

of freedom. These people. are the

Japan is an entirely different
problem from the European Axis.
Her home front at this time is the
reverse of the European home
fronts, for her civil population is
very well supplied with nees iilsl7
ties and generally in high spirits.
She is still in the ascendant stages
of total war
JapPp. also differs from our Eu-
ropean enemies on the military
front. Phe European Axis is de-
pending mainly upon land war for
victory. Japan's ultimate destiny
depends mainly upon sea warfare,
Germany's conquests are. oyer
land, and Japan's are basically
conquests. over sea.
Japan with Manchuria is nor
mally about self-supporting as to
food. Her conquests have. given
her far more rubber, oil, tin, lead
zinc, copper and hardening metals,
rice and vegetable oils than she
needs. She has a possible shortage
of7iron. Her people are far better
offSin standard, of living than be-
fore Pearl Harbor.

merchant marine and IT'S afr and
naval protection. Through that
alone can she, for 2theo present,
maintain her garrisons and her
many supplies to supportthe home
front. If that merchant ship life
line should be cut by adequately
based airplanes, all the southern
arms of the octopus would be para
lyzed.
The japanese airplane, ship and
tank output is not one-fourth
what we can produce. Her ships,
planes, and men are under steady
attrition from the British and
ourselves. With every growth of
our air and sea power and our
advancing bases, this destruction
becomes more severe. Merchant

her "co-prosperity order" in Asia.

The Home Fronts In Occupied
Democracies
The Axis armies have overrun
twelve independent democratic
countries and part of Russia. Over
2O0,0O0,OOO people have been raw
isfed, their men murdered, their
women and children starved.
Many of these countries have al
ways lived partly upon food and,

Joyce said. ''He knew one of them
had the envelope but he could not
be sure which of them took it.
How could he be sure? He came
to Della but she didn't admit she
had it. He threatened her but that
was all he could do at the time.
He must also have gone to the
other two with the same idea, de-

killer did not have it, but he
must have known how serious
things were for him. He must
have stalled like Della did. I
think he may have promised to
furnish (which is why Della
wasn't called yesterday noon as
Hardacker promised"
She took a breath, trying to see
if she was convincing anyone.
"The guilty one must have made
a date with Hardacker last night.
When he got there he knew he'd
have to kill him. He not only
didn't have the envelope but he
also must have realized that with
Hardacker alive he could never
be safe. He found out about Della
i can't be sure whether he or
Hardacker called her, or whether
Hardacker was forced to make
the call-but after that he shot
him"
where was he when Raeburnt
came up them" Fenner asked. :
81 can only guess" Joyce said.
"I only know what I'd do. He
knows Della is coming. Unless he
intends to kill her too he can't be
seen; he doesn't want Della to
know Hardacker IS dead, either
land most of all he cannot be
sure that she will obey orders and
come alone. He dragged the body
out of the way, but he wouldn't
wait in the Office, since he couldn't
be sure she'd be alone. I
think he went out in the hall and
hid. Perhaps on the stairs above.
"Then, if Della was alone, it
would be easy to follow her in.
But it was Raeburn who came
first. When that happened the
killer knew his plan was ruined
and he must get out. He did-be-
fore we drove up. He waited
down the street. Della went in
and we all know what happened.
Raeburn came out and down the
street and that's how he hap
pened to lose the envelope. The,
killer was hiding in doorway
or some place where he could
step out and hi: Raeburn over the
head"
Hard To Persuade
EENNER grunted and looked
L. annoyed.
,"That figuring is okay, but it's
all guesswork. If Raeburn didn't
kill Hardacker I'd believe it. But
you haven't proved he didn't. You
said you could"
well, how would he have
killed him, do you think?"
He. went in there with a gun
and, stuck Hardacker up"
EYES," Joyce said. He'd have
to have a gun, wouldn't he?"
Certainly. He held it on Hard
acker. Even then, when Hard
acker saw it coming, he tried to
pull his own. He might have
made it but for that lining in his
coat"

said. That's why l know Rae
