ARGENTINA:
Neutrality at Stake?

While close censorship had yelled
early reports of the military move
ment'' in Argentina, observers were
confident that it concerned the course
of the nations future international
polcy-whether the government
would pursue it's trend of benevolent
neutrality toward the Axis, or would
follow the rest of South America in
breaking with the Axis.
The military reaction gained added
significance, coming as it did on the
eve of the Conservative party's ma
tional convention preceding the
Presidential elections. For this con-
vention had been scheduled to pro-
claim Senate President Robustiano
Patron Costas as its candidate.
Costas had been endorsed by ''neu-
trality-minded" President Ramon

The house had previously voted ia
vorably.
The President had originally
asked for a three-year extension.
But because this would throw the
policy into the next presidential
administrat for more than year,
both house and senate measures cut
it to two years. The senate's action,
however, meant that members of the
United Nations could be assured that
this government present trade pol
icy would be continued until June IL,
1915, or nearly five months after the
next presidential Inauguration.

MEDITERRANEAN:
Mussolini at Bay

Mussolini's defenses at sea had
been no more impressive than in the
air when Allied forces struck at the
island approaches to the "soft un-
derbelly'' of Italy.
Target of the first assaults was
the island of Pantelleria, closest of
Italy's Mediterranean outposts to At
RIGA. Here Allied warships made
heavy bornbardments that were un-
opposed. The Italian fleet that had
been reported on the alert had made
no effort to come out and fight for
Pantelleria which already had been
shaken by Allied bombers. In none
of the attacks did the Allied fleet
units suffer casualties. The only re-
sistance offered was from the in
effective Italian shore batteries.
Only As miles from the tip of
Tunisia's Cap. Bon peninsula, Pan
telleria was an easily reached tar
get for Allied air forces. AS wave
after wave of bombers swept over
the island blowing up port facilities,
other Allied planes kept up dam
aging series of forays against Sicily
and Sardinia.
The extent to which the Mediter-
ranean was becoming an Allied lake
was indicated by report ANNOUNCE
ing that the Allied destroyers had
sunk two merchant vessels and an
escorting torpedo boat and driven
burning Italian destroyer ashore.

RUSSIA:
Nazis Try Air

The question, where is the Ger
man air force?" received at least
a partial answer when Moscow an
nounced that 500 Nazi planes had
raided the important Russian posi-
ton Of Kursk, 120 miles above Khar-
kov. The Soviet communique re-
ported that 1913 of the raiders had
been shot down, as against loss of
30 Red planes.
Terming the battle as one of the
greatest air actions of the war, the
Russians disclosed that the effective
ness of their anti-aircraft defenses
caused the Germans to jettison their
bombs, thus missing military objec-
tives but causing civilian casualties.
Meanwhile, a German report an
nounced further Russian offensives
in the Kuban valley of the Caucasus
The Nazis said that five Red tank
brigades and several infantry divi
sions had launched a new drive
northeast of Novorossisk, last re-
naming German stronghold in the
Caucasus.

however, was but one phase of op-

BEEF:
Point Values Tipped

Dwindling supplies of beef were
cited by the Office of Price Admin
istration as the reason for a boost
in ration point values.
Beef-eaters found that point values
on steak cuts such as porterhouse,
sirloin or T-bone were up three
points. Roasts were up an average
of two points, while the largest sim
gle increase was on dried beef, which
zoomed four points, or from IL to Is
points pound.
Housewives were given consola-
ton in the announcement that de-
creases in many cuts of veal, lamb
and mutton, pork and variety meats
would make it possible for them to
substitute these items.
Other changes in the ration setup
included the addition of canned
evaporated and condensed milk,
with one point pound value; the
elimination Of canned crabmeat, sea
herring and miscellaneous canned
fish from the rationed list; and the
inclusion Of creamed soft cheeses at
three points pound to the rationed
category.

FRENCH UNITY:
Worth Waiting for

Although General Giraud and
General DeGaulle at first could not
agree any better at close range in
Algiers than they had at long range
between Africa and London, Allied
leaders were confident that factional
CULTS would be hurdled and long
hoped-for French unity would be
consummated.
This optimistic view was justified
when a French committee Of ma
tional liberation" headed jointly by
Generals De Gaulle and Giraud, was
formally established to pursue the
war at the side of the Allies until
total victory over the enemy pow
ers."
Comprising a seven-man group
which eventually will be expanded to
nine, the new liberation committee
will direct the French war effort un-
til France is freed and able to elect
its own government. In addition to
the co-presidents, Giraud and De-
Gaulle, the committee includes Gen.
Alphonse George and Jean Monnet,
named by Giraud; Rene Massigli
and Andre Philip. appointed by De-
Gaulle; and Gen. Georges Catroux,
designated by both presidents.
That the new committee meant
business was Immediately apparent
by personnel requirements that
eliminated French-African officials
with former Vichy ties.

LEND-LEASE:
Meat for Allies

Sharp increases in lend-1ease ship
ments Of meat to Allied countries,
with special emphasis on pork were
reported by Edward R. Stettinius
Jr., lend-lease administrator.
Mr.. Stettinius estimated that cur
rent shipments amount to about a
quarter of a pound of meat per week
for every person in the United
States.
Meat shipments totaled ST., 300, 600
pounds in the first four months Of
this year, most of which went to Eng
land and Russia. This constituted
7.6 per cent of the American meat
supply, compared with about per
cent last year. Most of the export
ed meat was pork, which is current
ly in largest supply. Beef, which is
most scarce in American butcher
shops at present, was the smallest
factor in lend-lease shipments, he
stated. Beef and veal shipments
took only per cent of the Amer
lean supply of these meats.
