German Newspapers Suppressed

The Office of War Information tells us that only
fourteen hundred of the twentyfour thousand daily
newspapers published in Germany in 1888 remain alive
and two-thirds are published by National Socialist
Party Publishing Houses.
We are not surprised that the Nazi regime has
resulted in the death of many daily newspapers but it
is somewhat amazing to be told that Germany had
twenty-four thousand newspapers in 1888.
BY comparison, the two thousand daily news
papers in the United States seem to be entirely
inadequate to our population

Bases In The Pacific

The situation in the South Pacific is somewhat
improved, according to Eeutenant-G General Edward
Puttick who commands all of New Zealands land forces
General Puttick says that stupendous work has
been done in establishing bases and that any attempt
hazardous. -
Unlike some military commentators, he believes
that the Japanese delay in the Pacific might prove
decisive because it gave the United States time to
develop its strength.

the best in the world"
The Captain injured by machne-gun fire from

War Stimulates
Changes in Education

One of the many changes which
the war has stimulated is the change
in education. Education is going to
count more after the war. Many
boys will come back partially
trained in trades and professions
which they can follow if they have
the additional theoretical and prac-
tical instruction necessary to arm
them for the stiff competition which
is expected.
AS result, college entrance ex-
animation requirements will be
greatly altered for many of these
men will lack the traditional pre-
requisites. Reform in this field is
one of the II major detectives, dis
cussed in a report of the commits
sion on liberal education of the AS
sociation of American Colleges.
IF an educational program is to
be Of genuine service to the men
and women of the postwar world"
the report of the college committee
says, ''it must perform two func-
tions simultaneously. II must take
them as they are and appeal to their
immediate desires and special
needs, and it must provide for their
common and enduring needs in a
postwar society"
II will be recalled that the boom
after the last war created the COON
skin collegian and the fapper coed.

more seriously. They must have
aptitude and achievement tests rath-
er than book-learning examinations;
there must be more individualized
instruction, more tutorial and semi
mar methods, special attention must
be given to co-ordinated instruction
that will aid in the transition from
army or industrial life to peacetime
community and family relations and
the responsibilities Of citizenship.

But, General -
The other day said that after a
long and enlightening talk by high
army officer who was patiently and
painfully trying to show us why, de-
spite the recent victories of the AL
lies, we still had formidable enemy
to meet. a dangerous, deadly and
undefeated enemy. Victory, Of
course. is certain Eventually but
serious reverses, setbacks and sac
rifces are still before us, he had
said.
believe my own exclamation,
but, general" is typical of some
of those "buts" which have arisen
in your minds.
America is the super -duper land
of inventive genius, business genius,
organizing genius, mass production,
high standard Of living, assembly
line, giant industry, efficiency,
wealth, central heating, apple pie
and unlimited opportunity. True, we
got our first real drubbing at Pearl
Harbor but we came back; the Brit
ish were licked at Singapore, too,
but they won the battle of Britain.
Latterly, we collaborated in the
smashing victory of Tunisia :.
the Russians beat 'em at Stalingrad,
the Chinese have held 'em off for
what seems lifetime. Why,
then :?
The general looked little weary
but he went on politely-I can't
quote all he said but will give you
the parts the owl says is "okeh."

effective fighting force in history"
Biggest? But America and Rus

Prohibition

meWspuper).
They're at it again in America, and as in
the days of World War may yet hear that America
is Dry.
Most of us in the u S. armed forces could not be
cassed violently opposed to liquor control for most
of believe in moderation On the other hand there
are few of who could be included in the group of
Americans who felt "the noble experiment"
huge success
It is with alarm therefore that we learn Of the
growing political strength of the anti-liquor crowd in
the United States
Taking advantage of wartime conditions and
strctions the prohibition group is working night
and day for legislation which will give America pro-
hibition in fact if not in Using the tactics of
the Farm Bloc, the anti-liquor crowd is tacking on
amendments to practically every military appropria-
tions in desperate effort to prohibition
or the nearest thing to it they force through
Congress.
Rationing is playing into their hands and gives
them a good excuse, and opportunity is missed to
this in their effort to limit the production
and distribution of liquor of all types
We can remember the days Of prohibition, when
moonshine whiskey made quick fortunes for bootleg
gers crooked politicians and dishonest police officials.
AS a result we claim know what want in the
way of liquor legislation and feel those at home should
wait until return before installing further egisa
tion on liquor control

seven months.
"The need for housewives to
meet the goal was emphasized
when Price Administrator Prentiss
M. Brown reported that only lS-
000, 900 cases of commercially-can-
ned fruits and vegetables would be
available to civilians each month
this year as compared to 3O,OOO.OOQ
cases a month last year" Baum
said. This means a reduction OF
81 per cent, but civilians will get
along on it so our armed forces
and allies can get the food they
need to whip the Axis"
Baum believes many American
housewives will fill this gap by
purchasing fresh fruits and Vege-
tables for both immediate use and
for home canning inasmuch as
these perishable foods require no
ration points. The War Production
Board has promised adequate sup
plies of covers and rubber rings for
home canning.
beginning in May our company
will furnish through its stores up
to-the-minute information as to
when the various fruits and vege-
tables are available in sufficient
quantities to warrant canning,
Baum, said. ut is a patriotic duty
this year to can fruits and vege-
tables in peak production periods
