for victory. Japan's ultimate destiny
depends mainly on sea warfare.
Germany's conquests are over land
and Japan's are basically conquests
over sea-
Japan with Manchuria is nor
mally about self-supporting as to
food. Her conquests have given
her far more rubber, OIL tin, lead,
zinc, copper and hardening metals,
rice, and vegetable oils than she
needs. She has a possible shortage
in iron. Her people are far better
of In standard of living than be-
fore Pearl Harbor.
Like Beads on q String.
The spirit of her people, depressed
during some years by costly and in
conclusive fighting in Asia, has been
given a fresh impulse by apparent
victory over the white races.
Her great weakness is that all
her conquests are like beads on
string And the string is her mer-
chant marine and its air and naval
protection. Through that alone can
she, for the present, maintain her
garrisons and her many supplies
to support the home front. If that
merchant ship lifeline should be
cut by adequately based airplanes,
all the southern arms Of the octo-
pus would be paralyzed.
The Japanese airplane, ship and
tank output Is not one-fourth what
we can produce. Her ships, planes
and men are under steady attrition
from the British and ourselves.
With every growth of our air and
sea power and our advancing bases,
this destruction becomes more Sc
we're.
Merchant shipping is the Achilles
heel of her co-prosperity order" In
Asia. And If her sea transport be
steadily crippled, she will start
degeneration in munitions and raw
materials on the home front.

partly On food and feed for their
animals imported from overseas As
the result of the blockade, they have
had to slaughter their animals down
to those that could be fed.
Their ground crops are decreasing.
Their fertilizers have greatly dimin-
ished. Their agricultural machinery
is run down. Each winter the food
is less and less. Theirs is not food

fats combined in these countries
ranges from two to four pounds per
month. Compare this with the

DE- Heads Withdraw
Ban ON Liquor Credit

The District Commissioners yes
terday withdrew temporarily their
order. scheduled to go into effect
Monday, putting the local liquor
business on a cash basis.
The city heads decided to go back
to the former regulation of allowing
retailers up to As days within which
to pay for supplies, while the Al
coholic Beverage Control Board
studies the problem further.
Withdrawal came few days after
a hearing in which retailers, cafe
and hotel managers voiced vigorous
objection to the new regulation. 1t
was contended that it would prove
"btrdensome" in that it would re-
quire large amounts of cash on
hand. that it would be "discrimina-
tory" in not applying to all licensees
alike, and that it was lin violation
of sections 10 and l9 of the Alcoholic
Beverage Control Act which provides
for the allowance of reasonable
credit"
John L. Laskey, chief OPA coun-
sci for the District, declared that
cash order would constitute
price increase and must be accom-
panied by compensatory price re-
auctions by wholesalers or it would
be discriminatory At the hearing,
the retailers also recommended that
sliding scale of discounts be al
lowed up to 4 per cent on purchase
of Is or more cases of liquor. Dis
count control will also be studied

One factor may have been the
