Germany, said Mr.. Perkins, has
passed her production peak but is
still economically formidable, with
little likelihood of economic cola
pse in Germany in 1943. Japan,
however is much stronger in raw
material than she was a year ago,
and except for major weakness
in shipping is now within reach of
a powerful and entrenched econo-
mis- position. The ability of the
Axis powers to support defensive
Worfare is especially marked, he
said, but as both economics are
strained, inflicting bombing dam
age on Germany and attacking ia
panese shipping will have immedi-
ate effects on these countries at
war production.
AS for u. S. production, Chair
man Nelson said that in 1943 this
country expects to produce about
twice as many arms as were pro-
duced in 1912, spending better than
ninety billion dollars for war, as
compared to 1925 fifty two bill
lion. November armament produ-
ction showed the greatest month
ly gain since the u. S. began to
rearm in the summer of 1910 wour
and one third times more war ma
terial turned out than in the month
before the Jap attack on Pearl
Harbor. Mr.. Nelson gave he box
score of November war product
ion: Airplanes, up 10 per cent; or
dnance, up Ii per cent, army and
navy vessels, up 9 per cent, mer-
chant vessels, up 26 per cent and
other munitions up per cent.
Special attention has been given
to the items most needed in the
type of warfare now being waged
in North Africa, with outstanding
gains recorded in the output of
single engine pursuit planes, med
ium bombers, smaller transport
planes, navy fighters and in pro-
duction of the self propelled guns
used in tank warfare.
Righ now the u. S. is turning
out enough rifles and machine guns
ammunition each month to fire
80 rounds at each individual SOL
der in the Axis armies. In one
year of war, production of small
arms ammunition has increased
500 per cent and it is still going
up.
Backing up our production of
finished war material is our prod
uction of metals and minerals. A
year end repirt from the Bureau
of Mines announces that in 1912 we
produced more metals and miner

The Passing Of
President Lehman
BY Charles c. Mosley

It was Christmas vacation at
Southern Christian and most all
the teachers and students had de-
parted for their various homes
when the message came saying
President Lehman passed last nj
ght.. These cold words brought
gloom to the whole campus for
it is impossible to tknow S. c. I.
without knowing President Leh-
man. 3s. ~ y
Death came to President Lehman
December IL, 1912, about 200 A..
M. at his home in Jackson, Miss
issippi. During the early morning
Mrs. Lehman was awakened be-
cause she felt herself getting cold;
she felt for her husband and TO-
und that he was icy cold; he was
was no longer there, he had gone.
Quietly, in the night, when all was
peaceful and everything was SEEM
ingly all right, our dear loved Pres
ident Lehman had his rendezvous
with death.
The last rits for President Lee
Imam were held at the Ferguson
Funeral Home at jackson, Mis-
sissippi with the Rev.sB. r. john
son, pastor OF the white Christian
Church presiding. The service was

city gathered, white and colored
from all walks of life to pay their
last respects. Rev. Johnson read
14th Chapter of John for the scrip
ture. Prof. Bebout, former tea
cher and co-worker at Southern

two numbers, Swing Low Sweet
Chariot, and Steal Away. Pres.
John Long made a short speech,
but one of his best, telling how
he had worked under President Lee
Imam for eight years, how he had
Travelled from one section of the
country to another and wherever
he was introduced as President of
S. G. I. the people always re-
piled, Eyes, that's President Lee
hman's School," Pres. Long clos
ed by saying that S. c. 7. was
President and President Lehman
was S. c. l., that he used to live
in the mansion, he still does, he has
just gone up stairs.
Pres. B. r. Lehman was born
in Fulton County, Ohio in 1866.
His early training was in a small
country school, Later he attended
Tri-State College at Angola, Ind
where he worked his way through
school. Soon after completing his
college work Mr.. Lehman married
and his wife took their honeymoon
trip in 1890 coming to S. G. I.
When President Lehman arrived
at Southern Christian, just out of
college, just married, full of am
bition and eager to make giod, he
found an old plantation mansion,
one small building and eight hun
dred acres of land. When he COM
pleted forty three years of work
at S. c. /. it had emerged from
a school of one house and one
shack to school with a beautiful
campus, with thirteen we'll equip
ped buildings, 1865 acres of land
and the faculty had increased from
three to twenty one. The student
body had increased from thirty to
over two hundred. The approximate
value of the entire plant was a.
bout 100000.
Pres. Lehman can not be meas
ured in terms of houses and land
dollars and cents, but the many
souls that he has touched. Stu
dents have come under his guidance
from all over the United States.
They now stand in many of the
leading positions in the Disciple
Brotherhood, and as I travel thr-
ough the state of Mississippi I me-
ct many of them who readily con-
fess that Beulah is a part of them.
President Lehman has passed,
but he still lives on; he lives in
the lives of all he has touched and
in his passing let us renew our
vows to carry on, that he may
not have labored in vain.

Week OF The War:
Relations With
North Africa

New Years day 1943 marked
the first anniversary of the founda-
ton of the United Nations. In his
first press conference of the New
Year, President Roosevelt recalled
the world situation that existed
one year ago when 26 nations, boz
und together by the universal i'd
calls of the Atlantic Charter, signed
and thus crh -;
the United Nations Declaration
and thus created the mightiest CO.
alition in history.
Today the unity achieved by
these 20 signatory powers is bear
ing rich fruit. The United Nations
said President are passing from
the defensive to the offensive ev-
er conscious, however, of the sup
rene necessity of planning what is
to come after, of carrying forward
into peace the common effort WIFI
Oh will have brought them vic
tory in the war.
Our task on this new years day
is three fold, Mr.. Roosevelt said,
first, to crust completely the pre-
sent assault upon civilization; Sc
cond, so to organize relations am
ong nations that forces of bar
barism can never again break loose
and third to cooperate to the end
that mankind may enjoy in peace
blessings which divine providence
and in freedom the unprecedented

ton has put within our reach. ("

Agriculture Secretary Wickard
directed OPA to begin rationing
about 200 canned, frozen and dri-
ed vegetables and fruits as soon
as machinery could be set up. u.
S. civilians will eat nearly one
third less of these foods in 1943
than they have been accustomed to
to eating. Wickard said, but their
diets can still be we'll balanced
and healthful. Rationing in the
U. S. does not mean substand-
ard diets.
OPA said the rationing would
begin early in February, under the
point system. Supplies of goods
to be rationed will be temporarily
and briefly frozen on retailers
shelves and in distributors and
professors warehouses. Before be-
ing issued a ration book, consum-
ers must declare canned goods

He said the plan would differ from
his first suggested measure princi-

proposed enabling act for a new form
OF District government instead of
merely providing for an election in
which District residents would indi-
cate the kind of government they
want.
Senator Holman said his wish was
to compile the best thought on suf-
