ly portion of the Pacific world
which they gained SO quickly
by conquest? Will they have
the effrontery to "offer" peace
provided they are allowed to
keep all the territory they have
conquered? Will they surren-
der when the fight is brought
home to their little island and
their cities and civilians given
a heavy taste of what they
have administered to the inno-
cent Chinese since 1887?
Posing these questions gets
just nowhere and still an end
to the war this year must be
found in the answers. For our
part we must look forward to
an active year in which we
will have heavy losses in men
and nateriel. We are now
totally at war and our wheels
of production are pouring out
planes, ships, guns and ammu-
milton faster than the most en-
thusiastic dared to hope. We
have already reached the point
where the United States has
the worlds great
Ready To est navy and dur
Meet Japs ing 1913 our
Anywhere army will be among
the worlds largest.
Our soldiers equipment is adj
mittedly the best in the world.
We are on the upgrade in men,
planes, ships, guns and ammu-
milton. If enough of the weight
of our war power can be
brought to bear in the right
places the day marking the
end of this conflict will be
greatly fastened.
Weeks and months pass
quickly. Already a full week
of 1943 is history. Whatever
this country is able to accom-
plish during 1913 must be done
quickly. We must take full
advantage of every known weak
ness of the enemy. Even now
Japan has had too much time
in which to consolidate her
gains. The longer she has the
tougher will be the task of
driving her back where she
was in 1887.
Whether we win this war or
not there is one point of salts
faction. We are now prepared
and can meet the Japs any
where. By the end of 1913
we will be much better prepared
and can confidently look for
ward to complete victory in
1914. Therefore there is a
hope for victory in 1943 but
almost a certainty in 1914.

official pronouncements nor in
expert representations indicate
any real ground for victory this
year although there is a tinge
of hopefulness in nearly all
expressions. The hope, of
course, arises from

of our war ma
chine. The World War ended
nineteen months after Amer
ica's entry and, they reason,
this one will also end in less
than two years.
Perhaps it will be well for
those who have that viewpoint
to dwell upon a few pertinent
facts. In 1913 American soldiers
and supplies will have to be
shipped to all parts of the world
instead Of only to France. We
will have to maintain lanes of
traffic for many thousands of
miles more than the one lane
across the North Atlantic in
1913. We are facing many bat
tlefronts instead of one. We
must maintain practically two
complete military outfits instead
of one. They want to realize
that the United States is fac
ing and MEETING the great
est military task ever under
taken by any nation. They need
to consider the fanaticism of
our enemies today. They need
to grasp a mental picture of
the territory which must be
covered and the lands to be
recaptured ere we get to our
main target.
Yet with all these obstacles
there is still the possibility of
1913 victory. But that possi-
bility lies only in complete in
ternal collapse of Germany
which might be followed by
Japan's surrender. What posi-
bility there is of such a con-
clusion remains to be seen.
There is reason for hope, how
ever, that Germany will collapse
before we reach another ami
versary of Pearl Harbor. We
know, even with the fanatics
as leaders in Germany, that the
German soldier realizes when
he is licked and soon admits it.
We know that the

the bad news from home and

defeat permeates the rank and

and his mad associates will take

Kaiser in 1918. There doesn't
seem much difference of opin-
ion on this point. However,
there is little known of the
attitude of the little yellow men
in defeat. AS a matter of fact
the word we have received to
date seems to indicate that they
are taught that to die for their

pass into Heaven. Our soldiers
have found that they do not

Limit British Food
Black Market
System of Rutioning

From Form to Table
First OF a SerteS)
BY HELEN KIRKPATRICK,
Foreign Correspondent of The Star .
and Chicagn Daily News


LONDON, Feb. 24-Britain's black
market in food, which once threat
ened to become a large scale racket,
has been reduced to negligible pro-
portions owing to a combination OF
controls and licenses regulating the
food trades.
Evidence that black markets are
growing up in the United States,
particularly in meat, reminds the
British Of the days when the black
market assumed relatively great
Importance here. Public agitation
reached such a pitch that many
Scotland Yard detectives were added
to the Ministry of Food staffs. The
courts were urged to impose unusu-
ally heavy fines and prison SEN
tenCeS.
Able work on the part Of food
inspectors and detectives resulted in
breaking up the black market gangs.
Heavy fines and sentences to hard
labor further deferred such activity
But Britain'S system of food and
TRANSPORTATION controls is the basic
reason why no sizable black market
can function here today.
Bigger Job in U. S.
The size of this country makes the
task of imposing controls and main
tanning rigid inspection far easier
than in a country the size of The
United States. Moreover, such
large proportion Of Britain's fooo
is imported that rigid control o
imports Immediately reduces th'
size of the problem.
Meat, eggs and poultry have beel
the leading items in the black mar
ket. Whisky is another item usual,
to be found in the black market, bu
it does not concern the government
to nearly the same degree as mea
and other foods.
Measures which make it Difficult
for the black market to exist on an
scale have been introduced grad
ually. AS drawn up today, they ar
an effective deterrent. To take mea
as an example, this is the way tn
system works:
First, the British farmers mus
register the number of their cattl

from farmyard to table. And in or
der to make food rationing function
as we'll as 1t has, all wholesalers and
retailers must furnish inventory lists.
If stores were found by food inspec-
tors to be selling items unlisted,
there would be a prompt investiga-
tion into the source of these sup
plies in addition to prosecution for
violation of the food control act.

Drafting OF Dads Unnecessary

Selective service boards have been instructed to
re-cassify prePearl Harbor fathers preparatory
step toward inducing dads in October.
Manpower Boss Paul McNutt Indiana's pretty
boy issued orders for the drafting Of fathers but
doubt it very much that he will be able to make his
order stick for Congress is getting riled up and to
all appearances will take some action the size of
the army and the drafting of fathers when it re-
convenes in September.
Since it is the concensus in Washington that Italy
will be out of the war within the next few weeks and
Germany this winter, and reports from Europe say
the German general staff knows Germany has lost
the war; do not understand why it is necessary to
draft fathers and thus disrupt homes by taking par
ents away from children.
That pressure is being brought to bear on Con-
gress against drafting dads was shown by questions
popped at Congressman Dick Hairless in Tucson Mon
day.
r Asked if his opinions had changed in any respect
since he left Washington for the congressional recess
Hairless stated that he had consulted with many ind
viduas and groups about the question of drafting
fathers and that they felt the plants should be
cleaned of draft evaders before fathers should be
drafted. He gave it as his opinion that Congress
would take some action about the matter. e~4.
If the end of the war in Europe is near, as reports
indicate, it to us already have enough mil
lions to quickly whip the Japs, and in addition to our
own forces millions of Britishers will be available
for the drive Tokyo when they are longer need
ed in the European theater of war.
