MONEY:
Stabilized Currency?

Secretary Morgenthau called It
tentative" and John @. Public
thought it looked complicated but
everybody realized that it was
mighty important - cit" being a
comprehensive plan to stabilize post
war world currencies and fix their
values in terms of gold.
Actually involved in the program
were these major points for working
out system to maintain the none
tary solidarity of all the nations of
the world at the end of the war:
l. Creation of an international sta
bilization fund Give billion dollars).
This would be set up by the United
Nations and associates.
2. Value of currency in each coun-
try would be "fixed" in terms of
gold.
3. An agreement between all ma
tons to the effect that none would
devalue their currencies without
consulting the others.

U-BOAT WARFARE:
Turn for the Worse

Indications that the battle of the
Atlantic has taken a turn for the
worse were made evident when Sec
rotary of the Navy Knox announced
that Allied ship losses were consid-
erably worse during the past month.
Although the secretary gave no es-
innate of the total number of u
boats the Nazis have used in their
spring offensive, he said that "just
as we expected and as I said it
would be, there are more German
subs out there"
The subs are concentrating in the
middle Atlantic, along the shipping
routes from the United States to
England and the Mediterranean. It
is predicted that the submarine cam
paign will become worse before it
gets better. Naval experts estimate
the Axis will have 700 submarines
operating in packs along supply
routes this spring.
To counter the U-boat offensive
the United States is rushing con-
struction of a fleet of destroyer
escort vessels, smaller than de-
stroyers.

RUSSIA:
Sparring for Knockout

In Russia, the two giants continue
to spar for positions.
Sloughing through marshy swamp
land, hardy Russ engaged German
infantry in hand to hand graphing
near Novorossisk, gaining ground.
Here the Nazis are backed against
the Black sea coast.
In the Smolensk region, Russian
troops consolidated positions encir-
cling this vital Nazi supply base.
The Germans remain active in the
Kharkov district. Two hundred
miles to the north, Nazis claimed
advances at Orel. Seventy miles to
the southeast, German attacks
against Red lines on the western
bank of the Donets river met stiff
resistance, the Russ said.

TUNISIA:
Fight to Meet

Action in Tunisia continued with
Lieut.. Gen. George Patton's Second
American Army corps fighting for a
junction with British forces at Gabes.
Thousands of mines blocked the
American advance. Sappers kept
busy clearing the fields and later
American tanks runbled into action.
In their bid to prevent an Ameri-
can and British junction, the Axis
tanks thrust at the American ar
mored columns. Americans brought
up artillery to heavily shell Axis
troop and motor concentrations.
Slowly but surely Patton's men ad-
vanced along the Gafsa road.
Awaiting them at Gabes were the
British, who brought up their heavy
guns to shell Marshal Rommel S
entrenched Afrika Korps along a
narrow line in the Ell Akarit gulch,
IS miles north of Gabes.

ed to put up another short, stiff
fight before falling back toward

ries of delaying actions while the
