SUBSIDIES:
Grange Head Demurs

Albert S. Goss, master of the Ma
tional Grange, predicted that if the
government employs subsidy pay
ments to roll back food prices. the
nation is headed directly for inha-
ton and inevitable chaos"
The farm leader added that in his
belief, a system of price controls
by subsidy would lead to a food
shortage for America and her allies.
Testifying before a senate agri-
cultural subcommittee, the Grange
master predicted that a 10 per cent
roll back in the retail prices of but
ter and meats. already ordered,
would discourage production. There
are indications already" he said,
that the butter and milk output
are being reduced substantially"
Mr.. Goss commended that instead of
the present price control system as
a control Of imitation, an effort should
be made to bring supply and de-
mand into balance.

PLEDGE:
'E1ploitation's End

A world freed from international
exploitation was listed by President
Roosevelt as n of the postwar OBJ
jectives of the United Nations.
The President declared that bet
ter use of human and natural re-
sources must be assured in the post
war world if living standards are
raised, continuing, land I may add
the better use of these resources
without exploitation by any nation"
Speaking to delegates from the
recent United Nations Food confer
ence, Mr.. Roosevelt summed up
'our ultimate objective" in this
manner:
1T is to build for ourselves
meaning all men, everywhere-a
world in which each individual hu-
mar being shall have the opportu-
nifty to live out his life in peace: to
work productivity, earning at least
enough for his actual needs and
those of his family; to associate
with the friends of his choice; to
think and worship freely; and to die
secure in the knowledge that his
children. and their children shall
have the same opportunities"

Nazis Massacre Dutch

Out of tightly censored Holland
came news of fresh Nazi atrocities.
These latest reports concerned the
killing of thousands of Dutch citi-
zens in mass executions following a
general strike that had halted all
activity for nearly a week. They
we're made public by the Office of
War Information.
Allied sources learned that the
strike had started when Nazi author
tiles announced that all members
of the former Dutch army paroled
in 1910 would be sent to Germany
to work in Nazi war factories. With
in half an hour, reports said, fac
tories. shops, public offices and even
courts stopped. Within a few hours
public services and transportation
ceased to function.
Ruthless executions then we're un-
dertaken by the Germans. Bodies
of the slain Dutch patriots we're left
where they fell in public squares
and outside cities. Work resumption
was eventually ordered by Good
Patriots in order to avoid further
slaughter.

TAXES:
New Leuies ahead

With the pay-as-you-go bill now
operative under presidential approx
al. congressional leaders began con-
sideration Of additional tax sources
to meet the administrators request
that new tax measures be undertake
en- as a means of closing the infa-
tionary gap caused by the nations
tremendous purchasing power.
While President Roosevelt had left
up to congress the type of new taxes
to be adopted before summer recess,
he expressed his opposition to a gen.
eral sales tax on the grounds that
it would impose too heavy a burden
on the poorer people. While a COM
pulsory savings plan is not neces-
sary now, the President indicated
that ultimately a combination of en-
forced savings and taxes would be
required to meet his original budget
request for SIG, 600, 000, 900 in new
revenue for fiscal 1914.
The Federal Reserve board re-
Gently estimated excess purchasing
power at $35, 0O0, 600, 900.

GAS:
FDR Warns Axis

President Roosevelt served blunt
notice on the Axis that the use of
poison gas against any one Of the
United Nations would result in swift
and full retaliation by the United
States with terrible consequences"
to enemy munitions centers, sea-
ports and other military detectives.
This was the third time in IL
months the President had warned
the Axis that the use of gas would
be a fatal boomerang. He said evil
dence was being reported with in
creasing frequency from a variety
Of sources" that the enemy powers
were making Significant prepara-
tons" indicative of an intention to
use poisonous or noxious gases.
Observers who noted that the
Presidents warning was similar in
character to one issued by the Brit
ish government recently, believed he
had both Germany and Japan in
mind.

RUSSIA:
Tactics in Reverse

Using tactics in which the Allies
had given them bitter lessons in
Western Europe. the Nazis employed
their waning air force in massed
bombing attacks against Russian ar
mament factories.
Typical Of this effort were the at
tempts to wreck the giant Cork
works, $50 miles east of Moscow.
While German and Soviet communi-
ques differed on the extent of the
damage, both agreed that the at
tacks Of a ferocious nature.
Moscow radio admitted that casual
ties and some damage were caused,
but maintained that German reports
were grossly exaggerated.
Retaliatory raids we're made on a
big scale by Russian bombers which
attacked the Unecha junction on the
Bryansk-Go railroad, blowing up
munitions dumps and fuel stores.
Meanwhile in the midst Of counter
claims about opposing losses in the
Caucasus, a German t%ransocean
agency broadcast predicted a big
scale Russian attack on N~ovorossisk.

TIGHTER BELTS:
Forecast for ~

Somber warning that American CT
villains may have to tighten their
belts in 1914 was sounded by the
bureau of economics Of the U. S.
department of agriculture.
The bureau in a review of the cur
rent situation said that while there
are enough rationed foods on hand,
together with expected production to
maintain present eating levels for
the remainder of 1913, the outlook
for 1914 may not be so favorable.
The review stated that vegetable
production is running about Is per
cent below last year; that early
freezes have cut crops CT apricots,
cherries, peaches, plums and prunes
materially below 1912. Supplies OF
eggs next fall and winter will be
considerably below current levels"
the review added, while livestock
may be adversely affected.

EUROPE:
sMellow Light

Even as Prime Minister Winston
Churchill had declared that the
mellow light Of victory" was al
ready playing on the Allies, the Axis
had been tensely alert for the long
promised invasion of Europe.
Axis communicates had early re-
ported attempted Allied landings on
stepping stone" islands between
Africa and Italy. First of these was
the Rome and Berlin radio reports
Of a Commando movement on the
tiny island Of Lampedusa, bordering
the Tunisian coast. Then came the
Rome c~ommunique announcing that
the garrison defending beleaguered
Pantelleria had been called on to
surrender by Allied forces. Pantel-
leria had experienced a pounding
such as even Malta had not suffered,
for here the devastating Allied bomb
o%nslaughts from the air had been
accompanied by whitening lombard
ment of Italian positions by unop-
posed Allied naval forces.
Never before during the war had
Prime Minister Churchill spoken so
confidently as during his report to
parliament concerning the European
situation in which he described the
amphibious operations of a peculiar
complexity' against the enemy.
Concerning the Allied air offensive
which observers had termed the &C
tual first phase Of the invasion, he
declared that nothing will turn the
Allies from their intention Of accom-
plishing the complete destruction
of our foes by bombing from the
air, in addition to all other means"

PACIFIC:
u. S. Airmen Strike

Allied airmen continued to strike
heavy blows at Jap positions from
the Aleutians clear across the Pa.
ciic to Central China.
Kiska was again the target of the
Aleutians assault, with Allied Lib
orators and Vega Ventures joining
in the battering drive against this
last enemy outpost in the archipela-
60. Over in the Solomons, Choiseul
island and the Munda air bases were
attacked by American planes. In
New Guinea, Allied attack planes
supporting ground forces in the Mu-
DO area strafed enemy positions on
strategic Green's Hill.
American and Chinese air superb
ority in the middle Yangtse valley
continued to be manifest, as fliers
from both forces swept over the
Hupeh-Hunan battle area without
meeting opposition.

Many who do not have space for
a sewing room are planning ef-
ficient closets to house equipment.
Here is a model sewing cupboard
from my new book Better Dress
making:
The cupboard is six and one-half
feet high; four feet wide and twen-
ty inches deep. The dress form
compartment is five feet six inches
high and twenty-four inches wide.
The ironing board compartment is
four feet ten inches high and eight
inches wide. This leaves ample
space for shelves for the pressing
cushions shown at the top; the
sleeve board; iron; water pan and
sponge; stout slide-in boxes for
findings; notions and patterns;
and a lower shelf for fabrics. The
construction is of plywood.
NOTE: If you are in need of more
closets n storage space o will find
directions in BOOK 7 for a linen closet
built into waste space. Also in BOOK 8
there are directions for making door
pockets to use every inch of space in your
clothes closets. Booklets are Is cents

ARGENTINA:
Neutral for Present

The kaleidoscope revolt in Ar
gentina that had produced two new
presidents in almost as many days
had not shown the same speedy re-
suits with respect to the abolition
of Argentina's policy of neutrality
toward the Axis.
This latter was evident when the
government of President Pedro
Ramirez was pledged to an inter-
national policy Of neutrality for the
present" and loyal cooperation
with nations Of the Americas in con-
Torrance with existing pacts."
The Ramirez regime succeeded
the brief provisional government Of
Gen. Arturo Rawson, who resigned
after ousting isolationist President
Ramon S. Castillo in an army-sup-
ported revolution.
Scanning the new governments
personnel for possible clues as to
future international policy, observ-
ers noted that President Ramirez's
new cabinet included eight military
men to only one civilian.

FATHERS:
Work or Fight Mixup

A misunderstanding over the de-
tails of the War Manpower COM
missions work or fight edict had
been responsible for the induction
of some fathers into military service
in violation Of draft regulations,
VINO Chairman Paul v. McNutt re-
vealed.
Mr.. McNutt pointed out that the
work or fight order had directed
that fathers and others Of draft age
with dependents be indicted if they
were employed in any of the 70
''nondeferable" occupations listed by
the War Manpower commission. Sc
lective service regulations prohib-
it the drafting of fathers not in de-
ferable Jobs.
