 3. Despite the B.2o raids, Jap. anose industry, aS compared with Qermany's, Is relatively safe from air attack at the present, and It currently Is producing new and improved planes aS rapidly as the Allies can destroy thonl.
 (, Japan operates on interior lines of supply, has large stock piles of strategic materials and supplies, and hold All her major eonquests except New Guinea.
 6. The Allies are not now able to attack Japans supply routes along tho China coast except with submarines and have been unable to implement oflensivos from the Chinese interior. Their forward Chinese air bases have been pushed back, and even if the Ledo.B Burma road Is opened, it s doubtful whether it can carry any more sup. plies than arc now being flown over tho Himalayan hump by Allied RViatora.
 The OWI undcrseorcd tho Allied logiSticnl problem by comparing tho invasion of France with c compars able undertaking in the Pacific.
 Tn that invasion" the report said of the Normandy landings, distances were measured in scores of miles. Tn tho Pacific, they are measured by tho thousands"

Renee MeurlsSe, Belgian Red Cross nurse, who was in charge Of caring for Belgian refugees ct the time, told me:
 During the day of September IT. she said, i've heard rumors that thousands of bodies of German sole dlors were being washed ashore along tho Belgian beaches.
 That night at [ ?. m. c German Red Cross train of 70 coaches pulled into the Brussels station. We had been expecting c Belgian refugee train and were Surprised when VIC saw lt was c German one.
 "A German officer who looked tired approached me and asked 4 we could give aid to his wounded.
 Miss M0urissc said the German officer told her his train had been shunted on the wrong line and "Eiiy men are dying from lack of teat. Fnert."
 We sent . call for moro nlrsel and ambuianceS and began taking the wounded from tho train" shC said. "Tho means and screams were terrible.
 T helped carry one young Ger. man soldier from the train to the stretcher. He was horribly burned about the head and shoulders.
 "The doctor and placed this par- ticular soldier in c corner and wG decided wO could find out what had happened. We began by asking him about his mother and then about hls sweetheart. After each answer ! asked him; Where were you going whom this happened7'
 ''F'inaily, we pleced together tho whole story. He said they had been told they were going to invade Drit- ain, that nothing could stop them and that it was just 6 matter of get- ing Into the boas and going across he channel.
 "IIe said: 'Ft was horrible, The whole channel was in flames. The British bombed and machine guiined us. Hell couldn't be worse.

outlined the plan.
 Apparently somewhat da7ed at the scope of tho government pro. poSai. Miller asked whether 1t would apply to everyone in the United Kingdom. Upon being assured that 1t would, Miller asked permission to take copies to the United States with him.
 This goes much further than anything we (the United States) have ever considered" he said.
 Woolton gave credit for most of tho plan to Sir Thomas Sheep. shanks, q high-ranking member of the British Civil Service.
 The major differences between the government and Beveridge plans were that the former provided for smaller premiums anc benefits, and for the government to assume c larger share of the financial bur- den, at least in the initial phase.
 The white paper proposed blanket weekly premiums of 77 cents to be paid by each workers and 60 cents by women, against SS cents and 70 cents under the Beveridge plan, with employer contributions cut from 06 cents weekly for male work CTS in the Beveridge scheme to 62 cents in the government plan.
 Tn the first year of It's enact- ment, the government plan envisag. cd an outlay of S2,60o, ,000, 900 (based on . 94 sterling rate) in benefit payments, of which the government would provide $l ,4o6, 900 900. or more than 64 per cent. Beveridge's pro- posais called for benefits of S2,798,- 100000 in the first year, with the treasury paying Sl,404, 100000 or slightly more than half.
 Within 10 years. payments under the white paper plan would rise to aa.o2l, 900 900 annually and would e1nah c probable maximum of $3,- A,000,0 900 in 1875.
 7Ae government accepted the nPinciple of family allowances, sug- HestinR payments of Sl 6 week for each child, beginning with the sec- og,d child, plus free meals and milk in al schools, whereas Beveridge proposed an allowance Of $l6O weekly under the government plan.
 Other features included: S4.0o weekly unemployment or sickness benefits for single persons and eS for married couples, the same as in lhe Peveridge plan; e weekly old- age pensions for husband and wiie and el for slr.gle persons, against ee ana o4.e0 proposed by Beveridge; Tlaternity grants of 9i6, plus weekly heF,eslts up to $50, and ct the oth. er end, burial grants ranging from 1i2 for children to eS0 for adults, koth in line with Be7eridge's plan

April 2, 1889,
 Coastal forces sank three German ships carrying supplies on Saturday night, Q naval communiQue said of the Adriatic operations,
 Sweeping on ahead of the inva- sion forces, Allied planes knocked out Ave of eight rail bridges across the Danube between Budapest and Belgrade. Last night medium and heavy homhers attacked Q rail via- duct at Borovnica in northwestern YugoslNvia.
 A NaEl broadcast said powerful American and British naval and air forces this morning attacked islands of the Dalmatian coast, and the action still was going on at the time of the report,
 The Allied forces were meeting violent resistance, the NNEis said. Caught of balance repeatedly by the commando and naval thrusts across the Adriatie, the Germans frequently have issued popaganda reports not borne out by events.
 Titos liberation army reportd that partisNns oooperated with Al. lied Naval units to occupy the stra- tegio island of Pag, one of the northernmost of Adriatic islands near IStrian Italy.
 Until recently Tito's forces have not been in position to give sub. stantial support to on Allied inVass sion. But in the last few weeks with the crumbling Of Hitlers Balkan Empire the partisanS opened wide. spread offensive operations placing them in position to hit the Germans from the rear in concert with an at. tack from the sea.
 Allied naval forces long have con. trolled the Adriatic, making 1t im- possible for the Germans to rein- force the islands dotting the coastal area.
 The landing in Albania was as- Sumed to nave the support of Al. banian guerrillas, estimated unoff- cially as high aS 5000 men, Yugo. Slav partisans recently have been operating Inside Albania with the native patriots, and the possibility was seen that Tito had shifted for. midable units southward in prep. aration for the present operation.
 A quick Allied thrust across Yu- goslaViA would seal the fate of the Germans in Greece and the Aegean islands, from which the NaHiS have been reported withdrawing for some time.
 The YugoSlavs were pressing their offensive in Bosnia, storming the town of draeaniea and killing or wounding most of the German gar. rison.
 Heavy fighting was reported in western Serbia in tho region Of LoZniea and in the Prilep.Veles sector of Macedonia.
 Albania, with Q population slight. iy more than 100000 was seized by Italy on April ', l030, and the king and queen fled. Italy, still dreaming of m expanding empire, sent on ultlmatum to Greece on Oct. go, io40, but Greece rejected 1t and It's army drove Italian forces from Greek soil and then invaded Albania, where the Italians had established extensive military bases,
 The Greeks occupied Q large part of Albania, but in April, io4i, the Germans came to the rescue of the Italians and tho Greeks in Albania, were forced to capitulate on April a, ie4l. Since then the Albaniafs carried out widespread guerrilla ac. tivitieS against occupying enemy forces,

 Miss MeurlSse said other nurses told her that other soldiers had told them that "thousands Of use started out and wo expected to Do in England tonight with the British conquered"
 From other sources I pleced to. gether the story of German prepa- rations for the invasion. I was told in Antwerp that the Germans had concentrated hundreds of barges which had been used on the Rhino and other continental rivers. They were seif.propelled. about i60 feet long and capable of carrying about iS0 soldiers each.

quoted Joseph o. Grew, for 10 years ambassador to Japan. as saying of the Pacific enemy that "only by ut- ter physical destruction or utter ex- haustion of their men and materials can they he defeated"
 The Japanese, on the other hand "are expecting the Allies to grow tired and accept Q negotiated peace.
 While the mustered power of the Allies Is overwhelming" geography fights on the side of the Japanese, the oW1 pointed out, and the United Nations must conquer vast distances never before brought into military calculations before they can throw their full might against the on. emy.
 Allied leaders according to oWI are plotting Japan's destruction along these lines:
 1. Military attack from oil sides from the north" in the words Of President Roosevelt "and from the east, from tho, south and from China"
 2. Blockade of the home islands cutting Japan of from the oil, rub- Der, manganese, lead, nick0l and aluminium from the south, and from the oil, coal, iron. and food which she gets from Manchuria, Korea China and Forniosa.
 These objeetives pose on unpre- cedented logistlcal problem which will become increasingly complicated as the battle Is moved closer and closer to JapanS timer zone, while the enemy's own supply prob- lens will automatically become simpler.
 Although tho Allies are making giant strides westward toward Jap. ans supply lines to the south-aTid appear nearly ready to undertake roconqueSt of the Philippines-tho Japanese are winning in China, the OWf pointed out, and may conceiv- ably be able to establish overland supply routes which will take the strain of it's shrinking merchant marine.
 Among strateglcal advantagel faVoring the Allies, OWT iisted: l. Allied war production. The United States alone produces 5000 combat planes Q month as contrast cd with japan's estimated i,400 to 1900 Q month.
 2. Allied naval victories and supremacy have robbed Japan ot power for c strategic offenSive be- yoIld tho range of her lAndsbasOd planes.
 3. Japan Is losing merchant ships at the rate of i,b00,000 tons . year and building them at c rate under 100000 tons. From Q grand total Of eI000,000 tons, japans merchant fleet has shTunk below 6,00o,00 lTi- adequate for on empire stretching 10000 miles from north to south,
