British Build for U. S. Army.
In Great Britain a quarter of a
million men of the limited British
labor force have been working on
constructions for the United States
Army since last July.
On the other side of the picture is,
fortunately for all, a record of in
creasing aid which the United States
is able to give its Allies. Lend
lease supplies are currently going
forward to them at the rate of So
000000,000 worth year. Between
March, 1941, and through August,
1912, goods and services of a total
value of $6,489 900 900 had been
shipped or we're being readied for
shipment. That the rate was fast
s'"pping up was indicated by the
fac hat in the last three months
reported lease-lend assistance
amounted to $685., 100000, a vast
increase over previous quarters.
Foodstuffs Potent Weapons.
OF the assistance supplied for the
year it is currently suggested that
80 per cent will be in goods and 20
per cent in services. OF the goods
supplied, military items constituted
So per cent. equipment for industry,
% per cent, and foodstuffs, 13 per
cent. The Importance of food both
as weapon and as an instrument
to re-endoW the fighting spirit it is
significant that $5000,oO0 worth of
civilian goods followed our armies
into North Africa. Much of this
was food to feed potential Allies,
long on short rations. Sugar, proc
essed milk, tea, cheese, surgical in
struments, sulfa drugs and a thou
sand tons of newsprint were among
the items it was deemed the inhab-
itants of North Africa would ap-
preciate most.
The division of lend-lease as
kistance among our various theaters
Of military operation appears equita-
BILE In a mathematical sense at least.
The United Kingdom and Russia
have each received 35 per cent of
available lend-lease shipments and
the Middle East, Australia and other
areas have received 80 per cent.
Work Will Increase.
AS the fronts widen and as new
areas are reclaimed from the grip
of our enemies the work of the lend
lease administration will prove in
creasingly important. Actually, it
has two functions, to enable our
friends to win victories and to con-
solidate the victories won by our
friends and our own forces by get
ting to reconquered territory the
supplies which furnish the strength
and the means for action against
the common enemy. To that might
be added a third function, that of
holding before conquered peoples
the immediate tangible rewards of
successful revolt.

Australian troops have fought
their way against Japanese oppo-
sition across the Bumi river with
in three quarters of mile of the
enemy air and supply depot base
of Finschhafen, New Guinea.
The south shore beachhead was
firmly established and the Aussies
drove steadily toward the town,
which is on the Huon peninsula
only rs miles from Japan's stra-
tegic island of New Britain. Enc
my resistance was bitter.
Turn Back Planes
The Japanese airforce, which
lost more than 40 planes last Wed
nesday trying to break up the Aus
tralians in their amphibious land
ings six miles north of Finschhaf-
en-, tried to hamper the drive but
outnumbered Lightnings turned
back a strong enemy formation.
Our ground forces in the face
of enemy opposition effected a
crossing of the Bumi river and
are driving south towards the
town." today's communicate said.
-Four fighters intercepted a
force of nine enemy bombers COW
cred by 80 fighters approaching to
attack our ground troops. The
enemy planes were forced to jetti-
son their bombs harmlessly before
reaching the target. One enemy
fighter was shot down and anoth-
er probably destroyed. We lost
two fighters.
This air action occurred Friday
after the Bumi had been crossed.
Progress south of the river has
been slowed up by difficult coun-
try as well as the enemy oppo-
sition.
The communique reported air
force action against Japanese ship
ping. In favorite hunting ground
for enemy vessels near Kavieng.

naissance planes sank a 1000 ton

Off the same island near Cape

vessels were bombed in the North
