Suggestions For
War and Postwar
Problems Made

War and Post War problems are
strongly emphasized in lengthy
list of suggested research topics
just released by the department
of commerce and received by c.
P. Pearsons, regional manager,
Atlanta.
Prepared in the Regional Res
earch Unit of the Bureau of For
eign and Domestic Commerce, the
new list is part of the Depart
ment's program to aid business and
economic research in the Schools
of Business and Departments Of
Economics of American universe
ties and colleges.
Included are research topics sug-
gested by business groups such as
the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States, the National Amer
lean Wholesale Grocer's Associa-
ton, The National Coal Associat-
ion, the Clothing Manufacturers
Association of the United States,
and others. In addition to research
topics suggested by experts of the
Department of Commerce, the list
includes subjects suggested by the
War Production Board, the Board
of Economic Welfare, Office of
Price Administration, the Federal
Reserve Board, and other Govern
ment agencies.
The proposed studies cover a
wide range, from War Time Ghost
Towns, in the United States to
European Post War Rehabilitation
and Basis for international Alloca-
ton of Raw Materials after the
War.
Procedures to be followed in the
study of each research topic are
suggested together with some SOU
rces of information and material.
In making public the list of pro-
posed projects the department said
"The Department of Commerce
is aware of the fact that the num-
Der of graduate students working
on business and economic resear-
CHI has declined because of the war.
The very fact that fewer students
will be working on research, how
ever, accentuates the Importance

Gasoline More Vital
Than Ammunition

When John Q. Public toys with
the idea of doing bit of grousing
because his B and G cards have
been cut to three gallons, let him
consider for moment that gaso-
line has replaced ammunition and
food as the most important single
item in fighting a modern war.
That was the admonition of Col
onel Roland Walsh, chief of the
Quartermaster Branch, headquar-
tiers Fourth Corps Command today,
as he moved gasoline to the No.
position among the supplies the
Quartermasters have to furnish the
army.
Time was" said Col. Walsh;
when ammunition was the No.
item on the must list Of supplies.
1t outranked food, for the simple
reason that a man can fight for
hours on end without food, if he
abs the ammunition but he couldn't
damage the enemy at all without
shells and cartridges for his gun
and would face humiliation, even
if he had all the food in the world.
I'm the old days an Army moved
by horsepower. Horses and mules
must have hay, oats or corn to sur
vive, but those horses and mules
could haul artillery, supply wagons
and other vehicles for many hours
without food if necessity deman-
ded it. They could, therefore, get
the army in contact with the en-
envy or move the artillery and other
equipment to strategic points. But
today, without gasoline, an Army
can't move. The foot soldiers, of
course, could go ahead, but in this
war the foot soldiers can't take
a position alone. They must have
artillery preparation, tank attack
and airplane bombing before they
can go into the position and hold
| it.
Food delivered to the troops IN
the field is raw. It must be cooked
and again gasoline enters the pic
ture, The field kitchens use gaso-
line as fuel. OF course, they burn
wood if they have to. However,
burning wood creates smoke and
smoke can be seen by the enemy.
A field kitchen means q concentra-
ton of troops. A smoking field
kitchen would promptly bring q
