Livestock Feed
Situation Acute

The livestock feed situation in
Mississippi will soon become tragic
unless every livestock man and
general farmer increases his plant
ings of feed crops at once, accord
ing to j. M. Week, extension agron-
omist.
Urging farmers to realize the
critical need for all the feed sup
plies they can produce this year,
Mr.. Weeks pointed out that I'VE
have a considerable increase in
livestock this year as compared
with last year, but the feed supply
is less than last year."
Mississippi farms had IL per
cent less corn, SIS per cent less oats
and II per cent less hay this spring
than at the same time last year"
Mr.. Weeks said, and I'VE have 10
per cent more hogs, per cent more
cattle, and Is per cent more chick
ems to feed this year than last
year."
Prospective paintings of feed
crops in Mississippi indicate that
farmers will have 2 per cent less
corn acreage, Is per cent less acre
age devoted to cowpeas, and per
cent less acreage in sorghums.
Slight increases in planted acreages
are shown for oats, per cent; all
hay, 4 per cent, and all soybeans,
5 per cent.
Prospective production of feeds
this year will mean that farmers

AWeek OF
The WAR


American land forces completed
the Attu campaign last week, as
Allied air power rained new and
increasingly severe blows at Italy
Germany and Japan. Henry l..
Stimson, Secretary of War, an
nounced that the successful COM
pletion of the three-week Attu
campaign had placed American
forces within striking distance Of
japanese territory"
The Navy announced that the
Attu campaign cost the u. S. forces
1885 casualties including 342 killed.
This compared with Japanese losses
of 1871 dead counted by our forces
and eleven prisoners captured. The
Japanese were reported to have
buried or cremated many addition
al members of their forces. The
Toxic radio had placed japanese
losses at 5000. Fifty-eight American
soldiers are missing in the action,
the Navy announced.
Earlier, the American forces
ended organized japanese resist
ance by driving two deep wedges
into the enemy lines, isolating the
enemy into small pockets which
were swiftly wiped up. The iso-
lated pockets" were scattered all
over the island. At the end of the
week it was reported that a few
isolated small units were still hid
ing in sections of the island.
Heavy bombardment of Germany
and Nazi-occupied territory con-
tinued all week, as the Raj and
American Army Air Force flyers
set new records in increasingly
severe aerial warfare. American air
force headquarters in London an
nounced that American Flying
Fortresses and Liberators reached
a new high by shooting down "a
enemy aircraft in a single days
raids on May 81 in twin attacks on
the Nazi submarine bases at Will
helmshaven and Emden.
Mediterranean Action
Action on the North African front
last week was seen by large units
of Major Gen. James Doolittle's
strategic bombardment group which
kept up steady bombardment of
Italian island outposts and coastal
areas. Powerful forces of American
four-engined bombers loosed a
powerful assault on Italy inflicting
great damage" on the oil refinery
and shipyards at Leghorn, Italy's
third largest port. Allied naval
forces bombarded the harbor and
battery area of Pantelleria, in the
Sicilian narrows twice in IL hours
Wednesday night and Thursday
morning. The Northwest African
Air Forces dropped total of g.
100000 pounds of bombs on Italy
proper and Italian outposts during
the week ending May %.
Gen. Eisenhower summed up eff
fects of the drive which wiped the
Axis out of North Africa last week,
by declaring that the enemy's
morale has been 'jolted." The COM
mander of Allied forces in the Afri-
can theater declared that his armies
are now ready to undertake any
further task that our countries may
choose to assign u.s."

BOMBS CUT NAZI PRODUCTION

A British officer asserted some days
ago that an industrial plant, destroyed in
Germany by aerial bombs, meant the de-
struction of tanks, guns and planes in just
the same sense that these weapons are de-
stroyed in battle.
More recently dispatch from Berne.
Switzerland, estimated that the production
of airplanes in Germany has been cut thirty
per cent through damage inflicted by the
Allied aerial offensive which has also cut
steel and iron production as much as fifty
per cent.
We have no method available to check
the accuracy of the report Nevertheless, It
is hard to believe that Allied planes, drop
ping thousands of tons of bombs a month,
upon German industrial facilities, do not
interfere very seriously with the output of
Nazi war implements.

DeGAULLE AND GIRAUD

The differences that have existed be-
tween Gen. Charles DeGaulle and Gen.
Giraud, in North Africa seem to be on the
verge Of disappearing, which is happy
develo pment.
Nevertheless, one should remember
that whereas Gen. DeGaulle was leading a
Free French government in London, with
limited capacity to cooperate with the AL
lies Gen. Giraud, as the successor to Adj
miral Darlan, has something of considerable
value to the Allies, the full cooperation of
the French in North Africa.
From London comes the word that Gen.
DeGaulle has decided that Gen. Giraud is
"a great soldier and noble figure He will
proceed to Africa where he will endeavor
to find way to insure that the French en-
pire shall be only one empire
This is sensible course to pursue and
il has been rather difficult to understand
the inability of French factions to get TO-
gether insa common endeavor to free their
country ffomthe Nazi curse.

JAILS FOR TAX REBELS

Commenting upon reports that war
workers have refused to file income tax re-
turns, the Treasury Department asserts that
until returns are checked, it will not be pos
sible to say whether any considerable num-
Der of workers have failed to comply with
the law.
Referring to newspaper report that
workers in one Midwestern town "estimat-
ed that the number of defaulters would
be so great that the jails would be unable
to accommodate them, the Treasury De-
partment says that it is prepared, if neces-
sary to see how far the jails can go in ac-
communicating real recalcitrants.'
We mention this matter not because
we believe that any considerable number
of citizens have wilfully refused to make
an income tax return but because there
may be a careless or silly individual with the
idea that the Government will overlook
such incidents.

THEY MUST BE KEPT CRUSHED

The old saying, History repeats il
SELF may not be true in its widest applica-
tion, but it certainly is true regarding war
lords who would dominate the world.
Alexander is reported to have cried for
more worlds to conquer, but he, too, before
his early death, felt the sting of defeat:
Xerxes. with his hordes, whose combined
step made the earth tremble, met his Mara
thon; the Carthaginians, under Hasdrubal.
Hannibal, beat back the proud Romans for
II years and threatened several times to
capture their city, as Alaric did several
centuries later; Napoleon laid waste En-
rope, was imprisoned in Elba, escaped. met
his Waterloo and ended his days in St. Hell
ena, ard the Kaiser fled to Doom when the
best trained army the world had known
up to that time, cried out for an armistice
on November II, 1918.
And so it has beer in hundred other
failures of warlordS who strove to substitute
might for right, and so it will be with them
when the last shot is fired in this war.
Key Westers, in common with all 9TH
er Americans citizen, despise the warlords
who have dragged their sons into the hell
fire of war. But history shows it has ever
been thus: peaceful men must spring TO
arms to preserve their freedom
In this war, as in no other war, this
country is helping to crush yellow race
that believes it has the God given right to
dominate the world. Were it not for the
horrors the war entails, Americans. with
their keen sense of humor, would chuckla
to think of paganistic ruler whose people
look upon him as "Son of Heaven but
we must crush that belief with fire and
steel, and crush it sc utterly it will never
regain sufficient power to endanger the
peace of the world.
Warlords come and warlords go, and
the peacelovers of the world should have
prcfited so we'll by the recurrence of them
that, when they go this time, they shall
never return again to drench the world IN
human blood
Roosevelt and Churchill have an
nounced they are determined to do that
very thing, and, however much some Amer
leans may fume b u t foreign entangle-
ments,' the victory of this war will have
been won in vain if we do not see to it that
warlords will not arise again to terrorize
the world.
They must be kept crushed.
