There is one type Of woman, how
ever, who won't be too pleased to
hear that industry could - and
would like to-make use Of the skills
she has acquired as a housekeeper.
she is the woman who wants a
Job simply as a means Of escaping
from housework. And the thought
that Q war Job might not be too
different from housework Is sure
TO have no appeal for her.
However. the two big differ
ences may make her feel better.
In war work she will have reguA
lar hours. And she'll get o pay

out q the war job, that is just q
variation Of the dishwashing rou-

There has been scare talk that low-point value

Merchants have aided the cause by disoouraging

CHUNGKING, China, Nov. 81
(N.A.NA) (By Short-Wave Broad
cast) Although I have been in
China five years, I have been able
to keep in touch with the condi-
tions IN Japan through these war
years, thanks to our underground
channels of information and the
Chinese secret service. The Japa-
nese people live a life of rationing
cards under the strain of war. The
control is so strict that it is COM
monty whispered around that life
itself is rationed in Japan.
The commodity price situation in
Japan is not as serious as it has
been reported abroad, for the Japa-
nese government long ago adopted
a strict system of price control
through the use of price ceilings.
The ceilings are readjusted from
time to time so that the rise in
commodity prices is gradual. How
ever, readjustments in private in
comes, especially among the salaried
class, have Jagged far behind the
rise of prices. s.... .-., a.: ~
Real Trouble in Setup.
The real trouble in Japan's eco
nomic setup is the acute shortage
in materials and consumer goods.
The lack of materials and manpower
has brought about great gap be-
tween supply and demand. This
gap will be further aggravated by
the japanese governments decision
to suspend "non-essential manu-
featuring in favor of war produc-
ton"
Rationing was first introduced in
May, 1888. when the purchase of
mineral oil in Japan had to be done
by rationing cards. The first con-
sumers' goods put under the ration
ing system were sugar and matches
in June, 1910. Today the list
comprises all daily necessities of
japanese life.
Each adult in Japan gets only Z
sheng (each sheng is IL pounds
in weight of rice a month. AS
each adult needs about 20 sheng
(workmen need more) of rice a
month, the amount allowed by
the japanese government Is far
from sufficient. The deficiency is
usually made up by potatoes, millet
and other cereals. This explains
why the Japanese government re-
