IN 1917. the submarine nearly won
the war for Germany before Allied
naval leaders perfected a defense
against IT, Today. Hitler makes no
bones about the fact that the AXIS
is depending upon the U-boat TO
cripple the Allied supply line and
immobilize the vast number OF Unit
ed Nations soldiers poised on the
major battle fronts.
The submarine Is Hitler's last
ace. Everywhere the Allies have
seized the initiative. After a pc
riod of preparation, American pro-
duction has begun 10 turn out great
quantities Of equipment for its fight
ing men and those of the other
United Nations. The war in Russia
has made serious inroads on Ger
man manpower and placed the
reich numerically at n disadvan-
tage with the Allies.
Again II is appropriate to remem-
Der that this is new type OF war
we are fighting. Whereas il was
once possible 10 maintain armies

ern warfare requires tanks and
vehicles from steel and rubber;
tanks and vehicles which also eat
up gallons Of gas and oil Further
more, the development Of "bhtz"
tactics, of concentrating vast guam
titles of men and material for break
through blows and the subsequent
encircling movements, requires a
steady flow of material.
Soldiers Need Tonnage.
Our experts have figured out that
it takes II tons Of shipping TO carry
one man TO a fighting front and 3.4
tons of shipping to supply him for
a year. Brig. Gen. r. w. Little
John, the quartermaster general OF
American forces in the British
Isles, estimates that 1o.5 tons OF
shipping are needed to transport a
soldier and Is tons a month to sup.
ply him.
With officials planning for the or.
ganization of an army Of 71z million
men, the magnitude Of the prob.
lem of supplying them on fronts

VICTORY GARDENS

Surveys indicate that half of the non-farm families OF
country planning to plant Victory Gardens this
spring Probably, after food ratonng gets under way,
people will recognize the desrabity of getting
food from their backyards
Since the American farmer is being depended upon to
keep our huge army well fed well to supply the food
needs of nations all the world anyone who helps re-
duce civilian demands upon the farmer is performing
highly patriotic act
may that the extent of ability to ship foods
to other countries will be the determining factor in win
ming the Certainly food will be the most powerful
weapon rebuild the morale in those nations
which Hitler has been starving is also necessity for
keeping our Allies in top fighting condition.
Thus food this year. will be of the most potent
variety and the more civilians take of their
sonal food needs the of this ammunition be sent
to the battle-fronts of the world.

TODAY AND TOMORROW :

laws, there isn't single cold prod.
uct which Is now permitted to use
the word "cure" on its package or
in its advertising. The control has
gone so far. in fact, during the
past two years, that the claims on
most packages now discourage the
purchaser.
For years I have had 4 favorite
remedy which I felt really did get
rid of my colds quickly. When ]
first started using it there was =
statement on the bottle that my
money would be refunded unless it
relieved my cold within "a hours.
Recently, however, the label has
been changed radically and the
present label Is so negative in its
claims that I have lost most Of my
faith in that product.
l never did know whether the
medicine really helped, but reading
those strong claims on the label
seemed to make me feel as though
I was well on the road to recovery
as soon as I opened the bottle.
LOSS offensive
There are, Of course. a lot Of
medicines which do make breath
ing easier and which make a cold
less hard to bear. So, in spite Of
there being no cures, there still are
reasons why most Of us are will
ing to spend money on cold medi-
cines.
AS for seeing the doctor, that also
seems strongly advisable in the case
of bad cold. Not that the doctor
can do much about the cold, but
he can tell if we are threatened
with pneumonia or have symptoms
of any other serious ailments which
often accompany or follow colds.
Since the common cold itself re
suits in the loss Of more man hour:
of work than any other sickness
and since it causes more genera
discomfort in the lives of all of u.
than ooes most any other ailnent
it would seem worthwhile for the
government to launch a major sci.
entifc offensive toward the goal o;
keeping every American nostri

thousands Of miles away can be
clearly seen. Not only must the
U-boat menace be eliminated. but
our ship building must continue at
its present unprecedented record.
With Henry ]. Kaiser playing the
dominant role, American ship build
ers amazed the world, and con-
founded the Axis, by surprising
President RoOsevelt's goal of 8 mil
lion tons last year. This year, a
mark of Is million tons has been
set up. The new method of ship
construction-of building the hull,
deck, etc, in sections on assem-
bly, lines and then putting them to-
gether as a finished product in the
ways-bids to crown the shipbuild-
ers' efforts with success.
Ship production has reached a
point where ship launchings have
surpassed sinkings. But Allied ma
val experts also feel that German
submarine construction is keep
ing ahead of sinkings. Information
has been received that the NaZis
have halted all ship construction
and diverted facilities to submarine
manufacture.
Have 200 Subs.
Allied naval experts believe that
the Nazi submarine feet approM-
mates 600 craft and that probably
200 can be found in operation at
one time. U-boat mother" ship
giant submarines that can repair
and refuel subs at sea-are also
said to be in action.
Two new developments in the
submarine have been reported.
U-boats now are supposed to be
capable of submerging to depths OF
600 feet whereas their former limit
was 800 feet Use Of compressed
oxygen to a degree 400 times great
er than heretofore is reputed to
enable new submarines in con-
struction to operate their Diesel en-
gines under water, increasing their
cruising range and speed.
Despite the ominous threat of the
submarine, however, Allied naval
leaders are confident they can sue
cessfuIly combat the peril. Exten-
sive expansion of the bomber pa
| trolls; production of faster ships and
escorts, and enlargements of con-
voys are expected to greatly reduce
sinkings. Improvements in sound
detection instruments and in the
explosive power Of depth charges
will improve the efficiency of the
! sub fighters.

Food Shortage and the Farmer

II we are 10 believe all we read
and hear. the country viii before
long be facing a serioas food short
age. The reasons would appear TO
be obvious. First: we are shipping
great quantities OF food TO our sol
diers. 10 our Allies, and 10 hungry
friends wherever we can reach
hem without helping the enemy.
Second: We have been drafting into
the active services more men from
the farms than now appears 10 have
been wise. Third: we have made
work in the war plants so attractive
that the farmer who has to work
long hours. at comparatively low
pay. just naturally can't resist il.
Only few months ago there was
a battle going on in Washington
during which the country was made
10 believe that the VILLAIN of the
piece" was the selfish farmer" and
his bullying Farm Bloc" 1t ter
minated with the farmer conceding
10 the cause Of patriotism, but with
the understanding that labor wages
and the prices Of commodities were
to be pegged-by law. or otherwise
where they were at that time,
so that his "cost Of living" would
remain fixed
Well-labor wages have slipped"
In q number Of cases; and it~looks
as though they viii continue TO
slip" ThOe is already talk Of
raising the ceiling on a number of
commodities. But there doesn't
seem to be any concrete plan for
taking care of the farmers predica-
ment. except that he Is going to be
allowed TO purchase more farm ma
chinery. and that the drafting Of
men sorely needed on the farms is
going to be slackened.
Now a number of mathematical
geniuSes are doing some figuring
on how to avoid food shortage in
this country; but their sums don't
seem to add up just right. They
seem to have left the human eQua-
ton out OF their calculations. A

We are in a new kind Of war. diff
ferent from any that has ever been
fought before. and as a result new
problems have arisen in conducting
Il. The greatest Of these problems
is the problem Of supply. In fact,
the whole success in modern war
fare lies, in the solution Of this
problem of supply
No wonder then that the Ripper

through the dark waters Of the
ocean stands so vigli.7tly at his
post. On the delivery of mrs cargo
may depend the success Of a bat
tie. the triumph OF a tactical ma
neuver that may decide an entire
campaign. and bring victory.
Has Confidence in Ship.
But the shippers concern is not
with his ship. Perhaps she has
come from the yards OF Henry j.
Kaiser, whose modern construction
methods have enabled thousands OF
his eager and sweating workmen to
turn out the most seaworthy ships
in the world in a matter of mere
DAYS instead of months. The skip
per Is not worried about his crew.
They are all trained and coura-
geous sailors. And the skipper does
not fear the sea. He knows its
sounds, its smells, its moods. He
can handle il like a mother can
handle her baby.
Why then his concern? Tonight,
as every night, the skipper remains
on the alert against the menace OF
the submarine, that silent and steel
swordfish that prowls so stealthily
in hidden waters, striking like the
head of whip and then recoiling
back into the sea again. What
makes them so dangerous is thai
they cannot be seen, that they car
send out their torpedoes at dis
tance and then crawl quickly away
Near shore, their effectiveness has
been greatly reduced by the patro
bomber; against heavily escorted
conveys, they must proceed eau
tiously; but out in the oceans anc
in thinly strung conveys, they are

farmer is just as human as anyone

breaking his back on a horse or a

kins' pampered pets" working 40
hours per week in air-conditioned,
musically equipped factories. at
wages which to the farmer seem
unbelievable, how would he natur-
ally react? And il he sees the prices
of things he must buy rising. how is
he going to feel then? And IL temp
tation becomes too strong, or dis
couragement too great, how can we
expect him TO remain on the farm?
Not just doesn't add up right
There is a kink somewhere which
must be ironed out
There is going to be a goat
when and IL a serious food shortage
does occur. Attempts viii be made
to pin ii on the farmer. One can
almost hear already certain radio
commentators and soap-box orators
telling the world that ''the farmers
are holding back on purpose. just
to spite the government That
they won't plant enough" and that
they are letting the crops rot in
the fields because the administra-
ton 'featherbeds' the unions"
"Featherbedding" unions won't
stop the farmer for any other rea-
son than that he would like to get
into the feathers himself He will
work just as hard while he remains
on the farm. regardless of any feel
ing that he is being neglected.
The farmer, for the most part, is
an old line American" His an
cestors bled and sweated for this
nation and the love of it is in his
blood. He viii keep on plugging
to the end. but he rates treatment
equivalent TO that of any other
branch Of our society. and commen-
surate with his just deserts. Maybe
some one Of the many plans now be-
ing discussed in Washington will
help to keep the situation eQualized.

MEDICINES expense
Although it seems apparent that
there is no real cure for cold, as a
nation we probably spend over a
billion dollars year to make sure.
In addition to the fortune we pay
to doctors to hear them tell us to
take it easy for few days." we
spend many hundreds Of millions
for our pet cold remedies or those
suggested by our friends.
It is an interesting experiment,
when you have a cold, to ask each
person you see what he or she sug-
gests you do for it. There is hardly
a person who won't have something
to suggest. Some will be enthusi-
astic about one medicine, some an
other-and if you interview enough
people you will finally get list Of
everything on the druggists shelf.
But the very fact that there is such
wide disagreement over what might
help is pretty good evidence that
none Of them are going to perform
any miracles for you.
