ing manpower. Not all Italian troops have laid
down their arms or joined ranks with the
Allies, but those who have have created a
difficult troop replacement problem for Ger
many.
The solution thus far tried is the mus
tering in of all German men between forty
and sixty years still physically tit for mill
tary service and not already employed in
war industries.
The report is that Germany has fully four
million men in this age bracket Possibly
half are available for armed service 1t is
also possible that an equivalent number Of
younger Germans are industrial workers,
whom these older men. by taking their places,
could release for combat duty. However this
may be, the obvious fact is that Italian with.
drawals from Axis ranks are adding a grave

Basically Speaking

Because Winston Churchill gave over part
of his talk at Harvard University to discus
sion of Basic English, and said that President
Roosevelt is interested in that invention, there
has been increased public attention to what,
up to then had been limited to the know
ledge of small group.
Suddenly the newspapers are making fire.
ouent statements about Basic English, which
give us feeling that we should have some
knowledge about this new development in
connection with mother tongue. What
What are its limits?
Basic English is good, normal English. but
it makes use of only $50 words whereas per-
sons of education and wide experience gen.
orally are not happy without the use of many
thousands of words.
There is no argument that Basic English
will take the place of normal English. There
are serious limits to what it is possible to
do with $50 words. Delicate shades of ideas
are hard to make clear. The limited word
list, each unit used frequently. has tendency
to make talk or writing stiff and complex
and dull. Those who for years have had the
free use of thousands of words will find
trouble in getting by with only $50.
But Basic English is not designed for those
who fertile with words. 1t is for those
with no present knowledge of English and
no time or chance to get complete educa-
ton in that respect. who still need to make
science, the arts. or even for purposes of
this war
Within the limits. as to which its best
friends are in complete agreement, the meet
ing of minds becomes possible through use
of Basic English when without it they could
not meet.
You may have the feeling that this dis
cussion is somewhat less clear and simple
than some you have seen in this space. That
is true. So far as we were able and have know
ledge. this writing is completely in Basic
English.
1t makes use of only a small part Of the
$50 words available. It may be much more
complex and less smooth than is possible
WIN the words and under the rules 1t is
our first attempt at use of Basic English.
With experience, we are certain that we could
do better
1t you have an idea that we should have
zone better this first time, you are free to
take the word list and see how easy it is not.

Oil Situation Improves

The New York Times thus reports i'm
in the oil situation on the At
lantic seaboard:
Stocks of major oil products on the At
lantic seaboard last week again recorded
slight increase and now are at the high
est level for this year. According to the
index of the American Petroleum Institute
they are now about SO per cent above
the normal level of May 8, last. Part of
the increase in recent weeks has been the
result of increased importations from the
Caribbean area. Domestic crude oil pro-
d1ction reached new high level and re-
finery operations continued only slightly
below their recent peak. Light fuel oil
stocks increased moderately, but both
gasoline and heavy fuel oil stocks declin-
ed. On the whole, however, the figures
were encouraging and they reflect the
heroic effort of the industry to meet the
unprecedented demands of petroleum pro-
ducts for the war effort.
While it is encouraging to learn that OF
may now be brought in from Caribbean fields
the picture would be further improved if W.
were importing heavily from Mexico, where
and refineries. And still greater improvement
would result if the government offered ade
quate encoura cement to oil companies, es
pecially the smaller ones, to develop new
fields by permitting reasonable price increas

Girl Scout Leaders

There has been a gratifying revival OF

to manifest it by enlisting while the drive is
in progress.
special training course for leaders will
be conducted during the early part of Octo-
Der. It should have exceptionally large at
tendance, for it is to be remembered that
these girls of today are destined to be the
mothers of the land few years hence and
the help and encoura cement they receive
now during their formative years, will shape
their lives when mature problems are to be
solved and the responsibilities of woman
hood assumed.
Because of the strange new world that will
follow this terrible holocaust of war, and the
unaccustomed burdens and obligations it will
present, it is the more essential that young
girls be well grounded in the higher objec-
tives of good living and safe training for
their own children.

REDEDICATION THROUGH
PRAYER

To The Editor:
From September 26th to Oct
ober 8, Religious Education Week
will again be observed throughout
this land of ours. The Mayor OF Will
mington has brought this to our
attention and we should be deeply
grateful. have recently read that
religious education has been laid
down by Britain as an essential ele
ment of the education of the fu-
ture.
The purpose and design of this
annual observance is to aid in es-
lablishing religious foundation
for the many hundreds of adults
and children WHO have never had a
basic foundation on which to build
their religious life.
This as well as other steps in
this direction can best be promot-
ed and supported by intelligent
prayer. Prayer has wrought more
wonders than this world has ever
dreamed of, and a united front of
earnest, sincere, devoutly expect
ant prayers working with the very
best human effort can more speed
lily dethrone the errors of the car
nal mind that are seeking to des-
troy the peace and harmony of the
world and striking at the very heart
of our religious freedom and the
civilization that is our most sa-
cred heritage.
The churches in Great Britain
are packed and one of the largest
concerns in London has opened a
sanctuary in the heart of its CEN
ter offices where its employees may
retire for quiet thought and prayer.
Scattered around are signs which
read, IF your knees shake, fall
on them" In service for all who
work at night or on Sunday. These
indications all point to the reli-
gious attitude that we must all re-
turn to and make very real by
constantly putting good intentions
nllO prdClce.
Aside from continuing instant in
prayer. it seems that if all the
churches were left open and op-
portunity and encourag cement given
to everyone to have few moments
OF prayer sometime during the
day, this attitude of humility would
bring us nearer the contemplat ton
of things spiritual and show a will
ingness to be obeGient to that high
err power which shapes the destin-
les of individuals and nations and
unfailingly points the way out of
chaos and out of the struggle
against those evil forces that are
trying to destroy mans real pur-
pose. for existing.
The worlds greatest authority
on economics has interpolated into
his business and financial column
kind of sermon that should sink
deep into the hearts of all people,
that is, only as we repent of our
sins, and readjust our wasteful
standards of living and make God
the ruler of our homes, our schools,
our business and of our nation, can
