Britain Releases
War Effort Figures
BY WARD SCHULTZ

Now, at a time when under
standing and cooperation with
our allies is at a premium and
the AXIS is leaving no stone
unturned TO encourage a split,
a new British White Paper
sheds real light on the extent
Of Britain's participation and
contribution 10 the war effort.
Since the beginning of the
war. Britain has put into her
armed forces more than Il third
Of all men aged IL 10 81. The
armed forces OF the British
Commonwealth number $780,
600, and Of these the United
Kingdom armed forces number
4.500. 900 m en- an d 100000
women.
Over half OF The total number
Of women aged IS 10 40 and.
over a quarter of the women
aged al 10 So are in The armed
forces, full-time civil defense or
industry great army Of them
being married women with do
meSuc duties.
In the munitions industries
In 1899 there were 5000 600
people working an average OF
as hours a week, today there
are 5000 600 working an aver
age of 81 hours a week. Basic
industries-food, mining. trans
port. etc. lost 100000 men but
gained 100000 women. The
number employed IN remaining
industries. which include build
ing, clothing and distribution,
has been cut by a third and the
number of men by half.

Hits Theory
Of Def|dtiion
By LEWIS HANEY

Professor Of Economics. n. \. Unissrsity
A Forest Hills. n. Y. reader
says:
what do you think OF the
opinions OF those who argue
that we are going Ia have de-
fiation and lower prices after
the ware"
Answer: I think il is an opin-
ion made TO sell. II is put out TO
attract attention by being differ
eHt from the prevailing thought.
And there is an element Of slick
smartnesS in II; for there will of
course be a brief period of recess
sion and price reaction soon after
the war. Then these prophets
of gloom can cash in and change
their forecasts But the MAIN
MOVE will be an inflationary rise
that will come after the first
minor postwar recession.
The chief factors in the existing
situation are: ID Vast postponed
and unsatisfied desires. and GU
even more vast amounts of "liq-
uid' or idle funds in the posses
sion of individuals. These demand
forces are literally overwhelming.
When people are free TO buy
houses, autos. electric refrigera-
tors, and good silk stockings, they
will go TO town" with their enor-
nous liquid savings" of cash,
bonds and bank deposits.

SURPRISES FIRST

AT first there will be some sur
pluSeS to dispose of. But the great
shortages here and in the areas
OF war destruction will soon pre-
vail.
The few "deflationists" say that
the huge government mortgage
public debit will retard industry.
But why has government debt
after past wars never had any
other effect than imitation? The
fact is that government debt is
taken up by the banks and be-
comes a so-called earning asset,
or investment. The debt is thus
"monetized" - turned into cur
rency (bank notes. and checks
and used as purchasing power.

SEE OVERSUPPLY

They argue that the productive
machinery is so great that an
oversupply of goods will pour out
But this has not been true after
other wars The fact is, now as
always, that the machinery is
geared for war, and requires con-
siderable .'reconverSion. Mean
while, the huge home demand is
to be satisfied and the needs of
the European nations Ito say
nothing of China) will have to be
met. Eventually. overpreduetien
will probably occur, but not for
5 or 10 years.
The argument that We can't
compete in foreign markets be-
cause of high wages has little
weight. ct is an old one.) 1t is
partly offset by efficiency, ma
chinery and mass methods. 1
would emphasize just now the
great need of many foreign coun-
tries for our products, and it will
take them a long time to get
organized.

Western F Front Battle Called
10 Times Worse Than Arqonne

the offensive Is described In those
stark terms which beflt it. Any at
tempt to prettify struggle like this
is contemplate.
The battle in which the 1st, then
the 7th and 9th Armies now are en-
gagged is far and away the biggest
and, I don't doubt, the hardest bat
tie which American armies ever
have fought.
1t Is ten times worse than the
Meuse or the Argonne 1t is the
same sort of finish fight as in 1916
or at Stalingrad and Gettysburg. 1t
not only is a gigantic battle as far
as conflict is concerned, but it is
fought under hellish weather condi-
tions, a cold wet spell of rain and
mud, frost and fog, and sometimes
snow in the high regions.
We have superiority over the en-
emy in numbers and in the quantity
and in most cases the quality of ma
terial and equipment. But the Ger
mans have the advantage of posi-
ton. They have, further, to give the
oCNA iAS duC, I'LL dCQlOuS 1lSllIlIlS
spirit that doesn't waver or break
and keeps the German troops fight
ing with desperate skill and deter
mination.
Weather Against Us.
Our advantages are minimized by
weather conditions. Our air forces
have not much more than Is per
cent of their fair weather efficiency
Our ground forces are slowed down
very greatly by ground conditions.
The issue of battle is simple. We
seek by recently applied pressure, by
sheer weight and power of our as
Sault, to wear down the limited re-
sources of the Germans until some
thing gives way somewhere. The
issue of whether we win it or not
still has to be determined.
Possibly the German line will give
in somewhere, in which case our VIC
tory would swiftly become decisive
II not conclusive. But possibly the
German line will not give in any

In any case victory in this battle
is possible If our effort is sustained
at heroic levels reached during the
past several weeks. How long we
can sustain our attack at its present
peak don't know. How long the
Germans can withstand such ter
rible pressure I don't know. But the
answers to those two propositions
will decide whether our attack
finally comes to a creaking halt
without achieving its purpose or
smashes through and eliminates the
German armies in front of us.

ADVANC HEADQUARTERS,
9th Air Force, Dec. 3 (DelayeO -
Before I began writing today the
mail came in, containing q consid-
cradle number Of my own stories.
Those stories Of mine depress me
very much. Either I am writing a
lot of slop, or they are emasculated
by censorship, or they are mangled
in transmission. Something hap
pens to them. I don't know what,
for they give, at least they gave
me. terrible pain in the neck.
Everything about them seems
sweetness and light, as If they were
adventure stories of fiction in which
the hero never gets hurt and our
side always sweeps everything be-
fore it, Those clippings suggested
that although our men are some
times in dangerous spots, they al
ways escape harm, laughing lightly
as they brush bullets and shell frag-
ments off their almost unscathed
shoulders.
Causes Soldiers to Gripe.
That is not the way the war ap-
pears to me, nor Is 1t the way the
war appears to any one in the COM
bat zone over here.
I hope this gay adventure theme
does not mislead the people at home,
but I am afraid it does. Our SOL
diers grippe because their folks do
not seem to comprehend what the
war Is like.
Trying to grasp imaginatively such
a struggle is too much to ask of
any ones imagination. But if people
are not given honest enough ac-
counts of what it is like to catch
even a glimmer of truth, then I
don't see why they should be blamed
for not understanding what our SOL
diers are doing and enduring
Not having seen an American

know how this present offensive is

may be enough of this morale

can get more than a general idea

If any ones morale Is so weak
here that he needs such pap to hold
him up, then his morale never will

to be for some time to come. l hope
