Without taking away one Of
the armed services rightful
glory for licking the German
armies, something can be told
about how economic warfare is
helping TO do the job. Economic
warfare alone or psychological
warfare alone can't bring the
Germans to their knees. But
combine economic warfare and
psychological warfare with act
ual warfare and you have the
unbeatable combination. Dingle

secretary of the British Ministry
of Economic Warfare, now in
Washington, gives food picture
of how it is being done by the
combined British and American
effort.
One reason for the compare
tive absence Of German planes
on the western front is thought
to be a shortage of ball bearings.
The Allies began waging war on
the ball bearing front two years
ago. First the British made an
agreement with the Swedish

The country is in the grip Of crisis which we
all must face without fIinching With no mIncn9 OF
words the stark situation is this
We have surplus Of potatoes and eggs
Federal, municipal and private agencies nave
been morshoIed to store and move these commod-
ties But we cannot just sit critically by and let the
bureoucrots handle it, In the final analysis, every
oble-bodied citizen must share the responsibility
We ore going to have to cot the surplus there
is no getting around it.
All sorts of plans will be formulated for meeting
the emergency There probably will be some gov
eminent drectives But, in opinion, there is only
one solution. And it demands sacrifices from mil
lions Of Americans.
We are going to have to give up our wlsPy break
fosts during this period Of superobundonce. We shall
have to shun the crspy, crocky, orunohy, munchy

Abandoning the coffee and toost Poth toward

usino fat for food insteod Of gunpowder. We shall
have to stort the day With the rude pioneer tore
which once gave our forebeors the O. m. energy
to clear the Wilderness subdue the wild beast and
the pointed sovoge and make the desert blossom as
the rose.
In short, we're just going to have to go back to
those wonderful farm breakfasts Of fried eggs and
fried potatoes.

When the opening lead was
made and the dummy's cards
were laid on the table, Miss Wag-

dition to five-card spade suit,
West must .!old both the king of
hearts and king of clubs for
vulnerable overcall. She let the
ten of spades hold the first trick,
then won the second round of the
suit and entered dummy with a
low diamond. The heart finesse
was taken, and when this held,
Miss Wagner laid down the
queen of diamonds. The third
diamond was led to dummy's
king, West discarding low
heart. Dummy's last heart was
led and Vests king fell to the
ace. The jack of hearts was cash.
ed and West discarded the ten Of
clubs. Now West was thrown in
with spade. He cashed three
spade tricks, but then was forced
to lead up to the ace-queen OF
clubs in dummy.
Others who failed to place the
cards West needed for an over
call took the club finesse and
went down, losing three spades
and two clubs.

UNNECESSARY
OCCUPATIONS CUT
German labor DEGREES have
already squeezed her working
force to the limit. Unnecessary
occupations have been cut off
as far as the Nazis can go. That
being the case, it is the role OF
economic warfare to contribute
anything it can to make the
German manpoWer situation
still tougher. Bombing German
industrial centers, for instance,
has put an estimated six million
workers out of their homes. The
labor needed for rehousing these
surviving victims of bombing
raids puts a further strain on
Germany's manpOwer.
Take production of synthetic
petroleum as another example.
Germany was able to begin the
war without sufficient natural
petroleum resources of her own
solely because her chemists had
licked the problem of making
synthetic oil and gasoline from
coal. She augmented her SYM
thetic supplies by imports from
Romania. Bombing of the PloeS-
ii oil fields and refineries was
not aimed solely at destroying
this source of supply, however,
for these raids had the further
effect of forcing the Germans
TO produce more synthetic petro-
leum products, which require
seven times as much labor per
ton produced. This puts a fur
