masses of its population are underfed
Such statement alone should inspire
officials to seek improvement.
The periodic reports on AGRICULTURAL
production will do their work in another
way. They will permit nation to ad-
just its economy to world production.
Here are couple of examples. In one
South American country wheat is subsi-
dlzed to the point where the cost of pro-
duclng bushel of wheat is three times
the world market price. That country
could switch wheat lands to another
commodity, get II times more food value
from the new commodity, and buy wheat
IN the world market. Take our own
cotton production. If we had complete
information on what other nations were
planning and harvesting we could adjust
our Southern economy to the world
situation, so that if there was danger of
world surplus and low prices, we could
switch to some other commodity"
Mr.. Appleby SHE'D from discussing
how more efficient use of America n
farm subsidies, currently about billion
dollars year, could be obtained if we
could confidently adjust our agricultural
production to world production. He
merely estimated that if fairly complete
data were available on prospective world
production, the Department of Agricul-
ture could SO distribute the billion dollars
in way as to get five times greater
results than under the present system.
This would be reflected in more stable
prices to the farmers or lower prices to
consumers, or both.
Ihe UnderSecretary saw a collateral
benefit from the periodic production re-
ports. They would show, he said, what
nation was planning warlike aggressions
against its neighbors. This would be re-
vealed by insistence on self-sufhciency,
the building up of surpluses of food for
home consumption and the production
of commodities used in munitions. He
foresaw no difficulty in collecting statis-
tics or danger Of issuance of misleading
information. The greatest trouble, he
said, would be with such huge countries
as India and China, where at present few
statistics are Systematically collected and

Mr.. Appleby could not predict the au-
thority Of the permanent international
organization. This, he said would be
determined by the composition of the
organization, whether it was stated by
policy making officials with powers from
their own government or by technical,
scientific personnel. 1t may be sig
nificant that most of the delegations at
Hot Springs contained policy making
officials, some of high rank One of the
minor complaints about the American
delegation was that it had no member
who could speak for Congress, which, on
a showdown, would have at least a
veto power.
Mr. Appleby said most of the dele
cations at Hot Springs had one or more
members still in this country, who would
be available for appointment on the in
terim commission, which will lay out the
plans for the permanent body.

Island was completely blockaded, making
reinforcement impossible. Rejecting an
early demand to surrender, the islands
5000 defenders prepared to fight to the
end, but after more than a week of
unending bombing from the air and
bombardment by surface craft of the
British Navy, the dazed and bewildered
defenders were forced to yield.
The capture of Pantelleria must, for
the present, be taken at it's face value
that is, the removal of a fortified base
on the edge of the narrow British life
line along the north coast of Africa 1t
would be inviting great disappointment
to expect the occupation of the island
to be followed quickly by similar easy
conquest of Sicily, Sardinia and, perhaps,
Corsica. Pantelleria was small island
with about half division of troops in
her garrison. She was completely sur
rounded by surface ships and within a
few minutes bombing range of Allied
bases in North Africa.
Sicily, reaching to within two miles
Of the italian mainland, and Sardinia,
lying broadside to the italian boot,
will be much better defended and much
more difficult to attack. Reduction by
air power alone in the case of these two
islands will require tremendously greater
numbers of bombs, planes to carry the
bombs and fuel to power the planes.
Seizure of invasion points will not be
too difficult but it is far more probable
than not that considerable land fighting
must occur before these islands are to
fall into the Allied bag.
President Roosevelt has invited the
Italians to surrender, replace their pres
ent government and in the postwar years
enjoy the right of free choice of gov
ernmental form and administrators. The
invitation so far has evoked no response.
but when Allied planes, ships and men
begin to add the R. S. " P to the invita-
tation an answer should not be too long
in forthcoming.
The II days of comparative quiet in
Germany was broken Friday with the
most concentrated bombing raids of the
war on Dusseldorf, Muenster, Wilhelms-
haven and CuXhaven
Fresh indications that use of poison
gas may be under consideration by the
Axis came with new warning by Presi-
dent Roosevelt that if the enemy turns
in desperation to this method of warfare
the United States stands ready to re-
taliate many times over and to empha-
size our readiness, pictures were released
to the press displaying great quantities
OF filled gas containers just waiting for
the first overt act. 1t may be that our
censorship was not too strict if any one
sought to send those pictures to Germany,
though the German censors might bar
their entry.

Mediterranean Front

The suspicion arises that the fall of
PanteIeria was so timed that the Luft-
waite could make one last stab at the
Allied forces and claim as many casual
ties as possible as a final though futile
gesture.
At any rate, just after the surrender,
which came at $40 am, Eastern war
time, on Friday, and while landing
barges were shutting back and forth
between Allied vessels standing a short
distance off shore, between so and go
German dive bombers came swooping
toward the ships. Anticipating just
such move, American Lightning fight
ers which had been lying in wait tore
into the dive bombers and forced them
to jettison their bombs and flee; that
is, those which we're not shot down.
While no accurate count has been given
as to the number destroyed it was said
In preliminary reports to have been
considerable part of the raiding air
fleet.
The capture of Pantelleria was pre-
ceded by landing on the small island
of Lampedusa, about 80 miles to the
south, the landing being described by
the Italians as a ful-scale invasion
attempt which was repulsed with the
invaders completely wiped out and by
the British as a commando excursion
to look the situation on the island over.
an excursion which suffered no casual
ties but which left two men unac-
counted for. Saturday the island also
surrendered after "a hours of bombing
During the entire week Pantelleria
was repeatedly raided, toward the end
without any serious opposition, until
finally the senior Italian officer on the
island asked for truce, declaring that
the defenders were without water
Despite the concentration of the attack
on the island, Allied activity continued
against Italys other island possessions
and the mainland as we'll with unabated
fury. the attacking planes coming from
both Tunisia and points further east.
One raid by American Flying Fortresses
which occurred on June and which was
reported last Sunday struck heavily at
Italian naval concentrations at the base
of La Spezia. 1t was found by later
reconnaissance that the battleships Lit
torio, Vittori Veneto and Roma had suf-
fered damage by hits or near misses.
One at least received serious damage to
Its deck
Apparently concentrating on Sicily
and particularly the area around the
two-mile-wide Strait of Messina, both
American and British bombers started
in Sunday to rain down their destruc-
ton. San Giovanni. Reggie Calabria
and Messina all were heavily bombed
while other planes struck at Sardinia.
British submarines, invading italian
mainland and island harbors, sank at
least six enemy ships and one subma-
rlne surfaced to toss few shells ashore
on Corsica. an island not too often men
toned but in strategic spot for in
vasion either of Italy or Southern
France.
Planes from Malta carried the war to
Sicily Monday with raids on important
installations at three points on the
southern coast.

Atlantic Front

Prime Minister Churchills statement
to Commons that the submarine problem
is being solved gained substantiation
from several sources. Even the Nazis
admitted that the losses so far this
month were low, only nine ships with
a total tonnage of $4,000 tons being
claimed. This represents about one
third Of the rate of sinkings for May.

Allied Bombing of Antwerp

German sources, in reporting on the
damage done at the Antwerp Minerva
automobile plant, state that 329 houses
were destroyed, 163 made uninhabitable
and TOT damaged. Other sources have
admitted, however, that damages at the
Gevaert Photographic supplies factory
amounted to 100000 and that produce

WARTIME HEALTH COLUMN - Layette For Expected Baby Should Be Simple, Adequate

loose and roomy. light in weight, porous, not hard, and easy to dof1 and don. Since he is extremely active, his garments should hang from the shoulders. Cleanliness simplicity, and contentment are the chief objectives.
 ESSENTIALS
 The war mother should acquire for him certain essentials, still obtain- able in one form or another. The government has just released Q spe. cial allotment of bird's-eye, one of the best and cheapest materials for diapers, and the newborn infant will need between four and five dozen 24x24-inch or 27x27-inch dia. pers, since as many as IS and i6 diapers Q day are needed at first.
 He should have four straight fam mel bands 6x27 inches, four V-neck bands, 6-month size, four coat-style long g-sleeve shirts, G. month size, 12 cotton toweling pads i2xl8 inches, two rubberized pads 1lxl7 inches (brown paper, wax paper, or news paper CAN dol, six hannelette squares one yard square to wrap up the baby in, as in an envelope, four all-wool lightweight blankets Co TEX 00-inch one cut in quarters and hemmed would be flne), four short sacques, two coat-style sweaters, one bunting, and one pair of water proof pants.

must be faced-as well as the fact that more and more baby clothes and equipment will be made ct home for the duration.
 FEW FRILLs
 Babies nowadays wear few frills since overdressing is both ifnprac- tical and unfashionable. As long as their clothing is light and warm, keeps them dry and comfortable, and is easy to launder and take care of, the majority of mothers have been content for some years with showing off the baby rather than his habiliments. The elabor- ate layette in an age of coal-smoke, war-induced economy, and reduced household help would be an absurd anachronisrn, indeed.
 The functions of a baby's cloth- ing-and every young mother in this era of large-scale baby produc- ton should be informed of the facts -are to keep him comfortably in- sulated against weather, clean, odorless. and happy. A baby is helpless in ways adults are not. He cannot remove or put on things. He cannot pull up an extra blanket If he is cold, or take one of if he feels hot. He cannot turn over if he feels uncomfortable, and because of the liquid nature of his food, he belches freely, besides having no control over bladder or bowel. Therefore, his clothing must be planned carefully. with his own spe- cial needs in mind.
 The baby's clothes need to be

HONE FRONT FORECAST : Soy Beans Will Make Plenty More Margarine
SWEET CHRISTMAS

SWEET CHRISTMAS
 Fruit cakes and Christmas candy should be Q bit more abundant this year. Industrial users have been giv- en another 10 per cent increase of sugar for the coming season. This brings their quota up from 60 per cent to 90 per cent of the l04l quota, so there may still have to be some curbing of the sweet tooth. However, new sweets such as candy bars and caramel chews," made out of sweet potatoes, will help i'll in.
 NAME. CALLING
 Would you use more dry skimmilk If 1t were called dry milk solids? This question is being banded about in the House Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce. Dry skim milk makers feel that any people who need milk would use more of their product if the name were not derogatory. Makers of candy bars, cakes and the like would be happier about printing 1t on labels. The Pure Food and Drug Administration officials are traditionalists In the matter of common food names, however. They have indicated their preference for the established name of "dry skim milk"

 There are just as many high style colors-fuchsia, Chinese blue, gold leaf, persimmon-in the new line of hand-knitted and machine made blouses as there are in those of crepe and satin.

 The darling of the whole group of dressy sweaters is the very young, very fiattering, very versatile guimpe. The neck, laced with a length of bright grosgrain ribbon, may be drawn high for daytime or let out to show more shoulders for evening wear.
 Stripes and polka dots give dash to the newer cardigans, with nipped in waistlines and padded shoulders to rival the tailoring of custom made jackets. The newest look of all is the sweater-veSt-skirt combina- ton. Favorite pullover for this e1- semble has a high neck, tied with a perky bow.
