COFFEE AND TEA

berkeley GaZatte)
The quest for coffee, or for something
that tastes like coffee, or has a kick
like the real extract of the coffee berry,
may soon be ardent.
There are, to begin with such good old
fashioned beverages as catnip and bone
set and camomi.e and peppermint tea
and various other substitutes mostly
with medicinal background but drink
able in crisis.
And when fellow once gets started
on quest like this, it is surprising what
interesting facts he can pick up. The
once common coffee berry seems related
to the tea leaf, as far as its stimulating
principle is concerned, fact which eX-
plains why coffee and tea serve about
the same purpose.
There seem to be no satisfactory sub
stitutes for coffee excepting tea, and
chocolate, food of the gods And all
of these three are getting scarcer and
scarcer as the war goes on. But with a
vivid imagination and strong stomach,
anybody can find something Particular
ly in the form of tea of one kind or an
other. The dictionary gives scores of
things which at least go by the name of
tea, from Abyssinian tea down to Wood
tea. tempting concoctiOn made of

MEAT, MUDDLING,
AND MORALE

The most serious threat to our war
program Is the increasing loss of conf
dence in the administration of our inter-
nal and domestic problems.
On all sides, people see evidence not
only of poor government planning, but
almost inexcusable bungling and mud
ding. Of these, the worst is poor plan
ming.
What might have been difficult for the
average person to perceive in pre-War
years now is pulled out before the public
gaze.
Housewives meet it every day when
they buy meat butter and eggs. The
dairyman and the farmer plod through
another corner of this mire of half-baked
programs. Every worker can see the
hit and miss conditions existing in the
business world can view for himself the
absence of a clear, effective operations
scheme.
New regulations pour down upon all
and sundry. And because these throw
balances out of keller, there must be more
regulations to try and correct the evil.
But these, in turn, make more adjust
ments necessary. And so it goes, on and
on.
In obiecting to all this, Americans are
not objecting to carrying their share of
a heavy war load. They are oblecting,
however, to inefficiency and needless
waste in time, money materials and man
power.
Just because everyone is insisting that
this condition be corrected does not justi-
fly us in permitting circumstances to un-
dermine our morale. We mustn't chisel
because we perceive waste or quit doing
our best because others are muddling on
highly paid government job.
While demanding that government
muddling cease let US keep our courage
up, our morale high. and determine to
do tie best we can with what we've got.

TWO YEARS TAXES IN ONE

(Ontario Daily ReporD
If the u. S. treasury through its Cen
eral Counsel. Randolph Paul, continues
to insist upon double taxation this year,
they will force a mountain of tax de-
faults and bring about a whole dumping
of war bonds.
Perhaps you, individually, are one of
the foresighted persons who saved en-
ough last year to pay March 15th's in
come tax. Perhaps you, individually,
are one of the fortunate persons who,
after paying the bills and buying bonds,
can stretch your income to pay two years
taxes in one year.
If so, you are in a minority Talk with
your neighbors, and keep track of how
many will say frankly that they cannot
meet the double demand without selling
their war bonds.
Have Mr. Paul and those from whom
he takes his policy orders considered
what they are going to do to war bond
no dings and sales if they succeed in
overruling public sentiment and achiev-
ing double taxation?

went ashore and directed the British

stroyers close inshore and directed 5-inch
shells against the tanks. The attack
was crushed and the Germans fed in
disorder.
One destroyer received credit for
knocking out four tanks and another was
credited with one. For the first time
in American history our Navy people
painted pictures Of enemy tanks on their
range finders.
Communications Improved.
Communications between troops ashore,
ships at sea and planes in the air has
been vastly improved.
In the Moroccan campaign our forces
were handicapped greatly by faulty COM
munications and in some cases by no
communications at all. Boats taking
radio equipment ashore capsized and
most of it didn't work. In Sicily we had
our radio stuff fully waterproofed and
the results were good We also had de-
veloped improved sets.
Some of our commanders in Sicily say
we made mistake in allowing the air
forces to operate under separate control.
They express belief that there should be
a joint command Of air, Navy and Army
during such an operation and that the
Navy and Army each should have planes
under control.
For example, in the surprise tank At

to call on planes by radio, the tanks could
have been knocked out quickly.

ing the ground and to knock down the
ones that did get away when they re-
turned for bombs and fuel.
This system undoubtedly did lot of
good in obtaining ultimate air control,
but it did not keep the enemy from
bombing our ships time and again, par
ticularly at night.
Have Learned Lessons.
Another thing that remains to be
worked out is the shooting down of our
own planes. There were instances of that
In Morocco and again in Sicily.
Special military observers. including
some marine veterans of Guadalcanal
went up with us to spot errors and to
recommend new ways to do things. Their
suggestions will be filtered and eventu-
ally incorporated in new invasion plans
One of their recommendations will
concern the use of landing boats and
barges. We used almost every available
type on the market. Some we're very poor
in the rough surf while others did amaz-
ing work. Our losses in the landing boats
hauling troops ashore were considered
far too high.
The LST-a large craft used in land
ing tanks-proved wonderful in unload
ing supplies from ships, We had expect
ed the job to take longer than 1t did.
Our soldiers and sailors on this in
vasion were equipped with the very
latest fighting weapons. When final re-
ports are sifted and their lessons learned,

Japan should be much harder.

wounds take precedence in the matter of
getting more permanent Treatment.
This is because in battle the Job Is to
keep as many men at, the guns as pos
sible and oftentimes the men with minor
hurts can be restored to action quickly.
The seriously wounded, however, are
by no means neglected.
The Army and Navy have always done
the same things in a totally different
manner. Their speech and their slang
are different
The nature of this war is changing
that rapidly Army units that storm
ashore carry naval personnel with them
now. Naval gunfire liaison officers go in
with the troops. They advance with
them, carrying radio sets.
Some even 60 ahead of the troops

Army officers were afraid to let her open
up with her heavy shells because of the
danger to our own men.
A naval gunfire officer got permission
to fire one test shell and this shell made
direct hit. The monitor then was
allowed to open full blast and ComLso
surrendered amid hell of explosions.
The same scheme was used in town

Farm Experts
Lend>Leased
Bp Ovid A. Martin.

| Uncle Sam is sending "lease- lend
| farm experts to help other nations de-
velop their food production resources so
that they, too, may contribute to the
United Nations war and postwar re-
habilitation needs.
This sharing of production specialists
is expected eventually to reduce de-
mands upon the United States for sup
plies required by Russia Britain and
other countries fighting the Axis.
Top-ranking scientists in various
phases of agricultural production-men
well versed in the latest developments in
animal breeding and feeding, in dairy
production, in crop cultivation and har-
vesting and in food processing-have
been sent abroad to teach others how to
step up production.
Countries which already have received
such assistance include Britain, China,
Algiers, Colombia, the island of NADIA
gascar, Peru, Mexico, Canada, Saudi
Arabia, Venezuela, Costa Rica, Hon.
duras, Nicaragua and Ell Salvador.
All have been sent at the request of
the countries to which they were as
signed Most of them are present or
former members of the scientific bureaus
of the Agriculture Department Their
associates refer to them as "lease-lend"
scientists, but the term has no official
basis.
Learned From Abroad
However, in making its scientific
knowledge available to other countries,
the United States is, in way, paying for
agricultural knowledge it gained from
abroad. Much of the basic knowledge
upon which this country's efficient agri-
cultural industry is built was brought
here from abroad.
Many American crops were imported
from other continents. Likewise, vir-
tually all American livestock had it's
origin elsewhere. About the only excep-
ton is the American turkey
Much of the travel of these experts
has been by plane, some in military dan
ger zones.
This effort to tap foreign food produc-
tion resources reflects a tight United
Nations food supply situation. The ini-
tial successes of the Axis powers cut off
the United Nations from many impor-
tant sources of food. Japan's conquests
meant the loss of vast quantities of rice,
vegetable oils and other products which
Asiatic areas formerly supplied.
Britain now is isolated from some of
her most important European sources

meats. Russia, formerly self-suficient
in food, lost to the invading Axis armies

The force is charged with the RESPONSE
bility of transporting landing elements
to the theater of operations and at the
same time supporting them and convert

The Navy takes our soldiers to the

lands them supplies and continues to

Guadalcanal was our first real test and
it was worth while one for future
operations.

impressive things about the invasion
of Sicily was the tremendous contrast
with the comparatively clumsy, but cour-

quered North Africa.
The improvement in attack and oper-
ations was so obvious that many Army
and Navy people found themselves say
ing that the Moroccan assault was
much harder battle. Actually they over
looked the fact that we had profited so
much by the experience of Morocco that

can Navy and Army have gone long
way. Perfection is still far away but
we have learned how to carry men in
ships thousands of miles, land them by
storm and keep them supplied with the
tools of war.
The fact that America entered the
war later has not proved an unmitigated
evil. 1t gave our military men chance
to study the methods of the enemy,
learn his tricks and improve on his equip
ment and methods.
Amphibious warfare is new to America.
