JAPANESE EXTEND
DRAFT OF WOMEN
BY The Associated Press

Japan moved today to increase
the CONSUMPTION of women and

Announcement of the frightened
regulations blamed a new stage
of the war;
The new regulations, announced
in a domestic broadcast recorded
by the Federal Communications
commission at San Francisco, in
cluded: .-t..
Extending the service of the
women's volunteer" labor corps
from one year to two.
Mobilization of women IL to 40

Application of the students mo-
bilization law to night school en-
rollees, shifting many to war jobs
from their classrooms and using
others in out-of-school hours.
Exact meaning of the new regu'
lations applying to women was
not clear from the broadcast. The
existing mobilization law applles
to all unmarried women in the II
30 age group; but the new regula,

as men. Whether this meant thai
married women would be included

wild fox chase in the Bronx to-

Society for Prevention OF Cruelty

Police said it had been taken to
the Bronx shelter of the ASPCA

of time and place to meet with
Premier Stain and Prime Minister
Churchill. The final time and place
Of course, will be by agreement
among the three.
The greater part Of the pend
ing foreign problems are coupled
with this meeting.
Here are some OF t h issues
with which Mr.. Roosevelt may
be expected to deal as rapidly as
he can consider the facts and con-
suit with his advisers and depart
ment heads:
i. Arrangements for advancing
the Dumbarton Oaks plan of world
organization to the point where an
International conference can be
held early next year, possibly in
January. The British, Russian and
American leaders are expected to
try 10 agree on the big power veto
issue at their own imminent meet
ing.
:. Also linked to decisions on
the tripartite gathering is the
pending invitation from General
Charles de Gaulle for the Presi-
dent and Secretary of State Hull
to visit Paris.
g. German control policy has to
be given its final form so far as
the United States is concerned be-
fore it is subjected to final agree
nent with the British and Rus
Sans. Having strapped the Nor
Senthau plan for deindustrialtza-
aon Of defeated Germany, the

It's other weapons are high, in
flexible morale, fortitude, self-sacri-
flee, contempt of death, and an un-
conquerable desire to achieve the
defeat OF the enemy. All these
military qualities do not come of
themselves. The most important
essential in developing them is the
inculcation of hatred of the enemy.
Stain has pointed out that it is
impossible to defeat the enemy un-
less one learns to hate him with all
ones soul. In peacetime we did not
seriously, in thorough and sys-
tematic way, inculcate this hatred.
But it was not easy to acquire
the ability to hate, even with the
mass murder of our people and the
violation and humiliation of our
women. Now educational activities
are directed at intoxicating the Soviet
warriors with a fanatical hatred.
To hate with all ones soul means to
devote ones self to the cause of
hatred.
Hatred of the enemy must not
be like a fireworks rocket, its out
burst sufficing but for one blast. for
a day or half day. 1t must imbue
everything. 1t must become the
basis of the soldiers character.
Take, for example, four wireless
operators who found themselves for
several days encircled by the enemy.
Nevertheless, they continued from
the basement of a demolished build
ing to correct the fire of our ar
| tillery. In the intervals with auto
matte rifles and grenades they
fought the Germans who attacked
with tanks. When the enemy had
come quite close and the situation
seemed hopeless the four directed
their fire against themselves. They
were inspired by sacred hatred.
"The soldier who hates the enemy
learns to strike so that not single
cartridge or mine is wasted. During
the First World War the average
number of shells of all categories
required to kill one soldier was 46.
The average number of cartridges
required was 2,100 Nobody has
made corresponding calculations
for this war. but here are. some fig
ures from the Russian front:
"One sniper killed 125 Germans
with 1875 cartridges. This means,
on the last war average, that he has
saved $3.50 shells and 262,374 car
tridges. Another has killed 3O4
Germans with 304 cartridges.
"On the field of battle loyalty to
the motherland and hatred of the
enemy become embodied in the art
Of destroying the enemy. Hatred
