JAPANESE HOLD AN ERSATZ
CELEBRATION

lOELED1A lON
The Japanese celebrated the second
anniversary of their attack on Pearl
Harbor last week by capitalizing-a
expected-on victory" hoaxes care
fully built up in advance by Tokyo
propagandists.
Unlike the year 1912, when they
carried their advance into the South
west Pacific perilously close to Aus
tralia and extended their military ten
tacles into the Aleutians, the Japa-
nese this year had to look back on a
series of reversals in the Solomons,
Aleutians, New Guinea and the Gill
berts
With this backlog of defeat and lit
| tie else to work with as the second
war anniversary approached, Japa-
|nese propagandists began manufacture
| ing tremendous sea and air "victo-
ries" for Japanese units-first off
Bougainville island in teh Solomons
and then off the Gilberts. They
sank" American battleships and air
craft carriers with abandon, "anni-
hilated" the bulk of the American
fleet in Pacific waters every week or
so, and gave high-sounding names to
battles that American military spokes-
men said had never taken place.
Last week the propagandists held
up these victories" to the Japanese
people as major accomplishment for
the year. They put out an Imperial
Rescript in the name of Emperor
Hirohito to bolster the claim that Jap
anese naval air forces had destroyed
the bulk" of the American fleet in the
Gilbert islands area. Then, as part
of the same celebration, Premier Hi
deki TOTO himself told the Japanese
people that their armed forces had
achieved brilliant victories in Bou-
granville, the Gilberts and Central
China"
Tojo's reference to brilliant vic
tory in Central China was apparent |
ly based on the Japanese capture of |
the rice bowl city of Changteh on De-
cember 3. A day after he spoke, how
ever, the Chinese announced the re-
capture of the city.

States Pacific Fleet there have been
strange goings-on in Tokyo broad
casts. American ships were "des-
troyed' at great rate, yet the jap
anese propagandists were forced to
tell their people that the American
fleet kept counter-attacking.
Then with the occupation of the
Gilberts and the attacks upon the
Marshalls, the propagandists began to
swing around even farther Repeated
exhortations to increase production
were made to the Japanese people.
Finally, one Japanese broadcast de-
livered the complete turnabout. Over
the very same station that had "anni-
hilated" the bulk" of the United
States fleet in the Pacific went the
warning to the Japanese people that
the United States Navy was seeking
to annihilate the Japanese fleet. The
Japanese people were urged to pro-
duce more and more planes and get
them to the front.

TIMES CHANGE

A number of underground newspa-

ON their readers to wage psychology
zeal warfare against German soldiers
by writing such words as Stain
grad, "Tunisia," Sicily" and Mus

This week a report reaching the
United States from occupied Europe
told of new wrinkle in this tech

soldiers in trains, restaurants and
public places reading old papers
printed in 1910 and 1871, with such
headlines as London Burns" and
"Stalingrad Falls" to remind the sol

| In a new drive on gasoline black
markets, OPA has asked distributors
to Screen Out" irregular coupons
any coupons that are counterfeit, ex-
pired, not yet valid, or not endorsed
by the motorist. Filling stations also
will be required to make good irregu-
lar coupons, and their inventory will
be cut down by the amount of irreg-

motorists as soon as they receive ra-

that black market stations have pur-

USE RIGHT STAMP FOR SHOES
Because some people have used the
wrong stamps in Book Three for
shoes, OPA has issued the following
statement: "War Ration Book Three
has four pages of black - picture =
stamps showing guns, tanks, ships,
and airplanes. The page of airplane
stamps is next to the brown food
stamps in the black of book three.

Of course, you can't draw just the finest
crops, as Del Monte does. You can't do your can
ming right in the favored areas where each fruit
grows best. You can't always be sure of the uni
form quality you find in any Del Monte Product.
But the job must be done-and you do it well.
One caution, though. Fruits because of their
acidic nature, relatively easy to at home.
But all classes of non-acid foods, including most
vegetables, require special and special equip
ment for sterilization. Don't any product
unless you follow approved methods exactly. For
official instructions send 1ot to Supt. of Docu-
ments, Washington, D. c., and get USDA Home

single tree or small orchard can't reach.
Naturally, don't like to ask you to do this
job It's Del Monies business to save you this
work and take you out of the kitchen.
,.rs But this is emergency
That's why, instead of telling you about the
quality and wide variety of Del Monte Foods, Del
Monte advertising this spring and summer will
urge American housewives to plant Victory Gar
dens. 1t will point out the need for putting up
fruits at home. It will urge every American house
wife to join in a cooperative nationwide pro-
gram to "Save the Surplus in 1943."
Here's how you join:
!. Put in Vegetable Gorden-Use every bit of
surplus ground. Grow fresh vegetables, to sup
plement the canned foods you buy. Consult your
local Victory Garden Committee, seed man
nursery.
z. Plan to put up fruit this Summer - Every

3. Buy rationed foods with special core -
Choose the Del Monte Fruits and Vegetables you

variety will count most in serving attractive war
time meals Many of these fine products are inter
changeabe in and health values. You can Sc
lect the varieties with lower point values and
Three other suggestions when you start to
use your ration book!
It's more important now to get the brands you
know. If you prefer Del Monte, look for it. Make
your points" buy just much real quality as
they do quantity
Also, it's especially important to plan meals
ahead and shop ahead You'll have to do ito
make your points 60 round.
And your grocer more than ever, needs your
utmost cooperation
Added to all his other wartime difficulties, he
has the double job of supplying you and
banking your ration points" as well.
Only with your understanding help, can he
give you the best possible service. So shop early
in the week-early in the day-and only as often
as you must.
This program calls for thought patience -
and extra work. But it's a program every pa
triotc woman can be proud to follow.
Well be ready to save you all this bother
again-when the war is won.
But until it is, what American woman will
hesitate to do her part-if it's needed to keep her
family better fed, and strong!

...AND I'm GOING TO DO IT THE PATRIOTIC WAY!

That's the spirit America needs right now.
Even more than you know!
Very soon, you're coming right up against
problem that directly affects your familys wei
fare and the Nations strength. You'll go to the
store with your brand new ration book. ~
You'll soon find you can't buy nearly as many
canned fruits and vegetables you'd like.
Yet our government says everyone must have
plenty of fruits and vegetables-every single day.
You must feed your family well-to keep Amer
lea strong.
Just because you can't get all you need the
easy way, does that mean you're going to give
up? Not bit of it!
If we Judge Americas determination rightly
you'll roll up your sleeves and say, well, I've
still got my brains and my own two hands. I'll
do my part Let's go to work.
Why the need is so great
AS the world largest Gamer of fruits and vege-
tables Del Monte has gladly undertaken to save
every pound of fruits and vegetables possible, and
still maintain Del Monte Quality.
In spite of manpower shortages, shipping prob
lens and many other wartime difficulties, last
years Del Monte pack was the largest in our his
tory But our armed forces needed about third
of it.
With canning establishments in dozen of our
states and territories-we hope to preserve
more food this year.
But we'll half of this seasons pack is al
ready spoken for by the Government. Dividing
the rest among the homefolks doesn't leave the
plenty you're used to, any way you figure it.
That's why, it's up to you this year - if you
want all the vegetables and fruits your family
will need.
