TALBOT PAINTS
DISMAL PICTURE
Dept. Of Agriculture Help
less TO Allocate Corn
Supply

A dismal picture Of the feed
situation was painted by Congress-
man Joseph Talbot (R), Naugatuck,
in Washington yesterday who de-
clared that the Department Of Agri-
culture appeared helpless to order
ALLEGATIONS Of any Of the corn supply
to be directed toward Connecticut.
Speaking previous to yesterdays
closed session of the New England
House Republican delegation, Con-
gresham Talbot, said: leach whole
sale and professor in the feed bust
ness must go into the open market
and attempt to get corn at the fixed
price Of $l.07ls Chicago"
1t is understood that the recon-
mendationS of the Department Of
Agriculture are against nay increase
in poultry flocks. They feel, it is
understood that this would make
obtainable enough corn feed in
mixed feed and substitute feeds to
last the winter.
Congressman Talbot stated, my
Interpretation of the problem at the
moment Is that the present amount
of corn for feed is practically nil
at the time. In the next four to six
weeks supplies will be coming in
from the new corp. The department
is also importing from Puerto Rico
huge quantities Of molasses for
feeding purposes"

Or is he going to use his patent

Mediterranean and the world?
A Remarkable Operation.
I have heard of a chicken heart
pulled out of a birds beating breast
and kept alive for years, but even
that is not so remarkable an opera
ton as separating lease-lend from
the war.
In just the same spirit, we might
propose an investigation of the mys-
FERROUS activities of our armed forces
over the last several years. What
have they been up to, anyway? They
have been taking millions of men
out Of their homes and jobs, and
making them travel all over the
world, and even, I have heard tell,
sleep in the open and eat biscuits.
What goes on here? Why all this
marching up and down and dressing
in little brown suits? 1t doesn't
seem to make any sense. And it
certainly doesn't. if you "investi-
gate it all by itself
1t is in precisely this bizarre spirit,

however, that Mr.. Butler urges his
investigation Of ase-lend. He calls
1t the most colossal dole Of all
time" He says it is Just a case of
giving. giving, giving. In this area
OF controversy, he resolutely re-
fuses to let you mention the war.
Just = Charge Account.
And so lease-lend is to be investi-
gated like an open account between
department store and a customer
Mr.. Butler doesn't want to know
anything about what the customer
did with the goods. He says it has
to be q case Of dollar for dollar
and he doesn't care anything about
the ultimate use Of the merchandise.
But he has to care, whether he
wants to or not. We have certain
policies. We are trying to carry
them out. One OF our policies is to
reduce potential loss of American
life by arming our allies. Another
of our policies is to reduce the drain
of American manpower by equipping
foreign troops, such as the several
hundred thousand Frenchmen under
Gen. Giraud. If these policies
succeed, can we, in addition, also
exercise complete dollar-for- dollar
claim? Come, we do so care what
use the customer makes Of the mer-
chandise; We care like hell.
Statesmen, or Merchants?
We adopted lease lend in view of
these military and political consid-
erations, and now it is proposed to
investigate lease-lend without them.
We are to forget why we passed the
act in checking up on how it is
working.
And that is the major logical flaw
in all the current wild attacks on
lease lend. 1t is a probe into the
eye. pulled out of the head, and
devil take the head. We adopted
lease lend as astute strategists, buy
ing time and lives for money. Now
we want to change our story and
pose as innocent little merchants,
whose customers have turned out
to be dead beats.
Come, we knew the worlds credit
rating when we entered into this
deal. And we haven't been such bad
traders. We bought lives for money.
Nobody else on earth got half so
good bargain. Maybe we had bet
ter stick to our first story. 1t goes
down more easily.

are using their destroyers and
submarines chiefly to ferry troops

ened.
Our strategy in the Southwest
Pacific has yielded satisfactory
results so far and it is expected
that its browning effect will be
the enemy abandonment Of
Rabaul. which is experiencing
difficulty in keeping its lines of
communication open. At one
time the Japanese were reported
to have no fewer than seven divi-
sions on New Britain. Some of
them are reported to have al
ready been evacuated to Truk,
the big Jap base far to the north.
May Try Kiska Trick.
1t is conceivable that the Japs
will attempt to pull another
Kiska trick on us and Withdraw
quietly from Rabaul. The Amer
lean commanders are keeping an
alert eye on them, however, and
it is unlikely that they will be
able to pull out without serious
interference from our naval and
air forces.
Should we gain control of Ra-
baul our position in the South
west Pacific would be greatly i'm
proved.
At the moment Gen. MacAr-
thur does not have a sufficiently
large number of men to attempt
an invasion of the Philippines.
But his force could be easily
strengthened by the several first
class shock MISUNDERSTANDING
and Army units which are under
the command of Admiral Will
liam F. Halsey, jr.
These divisions had to be kept
in the Solomons and other is
lands to the south as long as
there remained some danger Of a
surprise Japanese offensive from
New Britain. But If the Japs
were pushed back to Truk the
danger would be eliminated and
the American forces now stand
ing by to repel an attack would
be available for duty elsewhere.
II the Japs lose Rabaul in the
near future Gen. Macarthur and
Admiral Halsey will have a sufi-
GENTLY strong force to undertake
preliminary major operations
which would take us within strik-
ing distance of the main Japa-
nese defense arc.
