The newspapers of the coun-
try have done splendid job so
far. They have carried the mess

this country. That is a good job.
More than hall OF the families in
the country have responded. ..
But the job ahead is clear and
a challenging one. We must reacn

aware OF the wastepaper drive as
conducted by the newspapers. We

SlIdtlOH.
To-day black markets in our
country are expensive. In some
fields they are extensive. In SOME
fields they are dangerously extern
sive. 1t has been estimated that
between 3 and 4 percent OF the
average cost of all food is due to
black market operations. That
means that housewives today are
paying $l.20O,OOO,OCo as tribute
to the black market in food alone.
In addition there are millions of
dollars in overcharges on the sale
of clothing, and tires. and gaso-
line, and furniture, and second
hand refrigerators, and other
home equipment. Today nearly 5
percent OF all gasoline is pur-
chased either without coupons Or
with stolen or counterfeit cou-
pons. If the black market in gaso-
line could be completely eliminat-
ed, the A card ration OF every one
of us could be increased by Is
percent. | am sure these figures
will shock you. During wartime
they are a national disgrace.

CONTINUANCE of funds for

reasons for drastic curtailments.
Granting the validity of much of
the criticism, strong argument was
made by the women members from
New Jersey, Maine and Ohio that the

charged military personnel and their
dependents and families of deceased
members of the Army. This should
prove exceedingly helpful all along the
line.
BECAUSE of the heavy demands
- that will inevitably be made upon
us for food for the long-starved peo-
plies of Europe and Asia, the War
Food Administrator is calling upon
civilians to make this a Victory Gar
den year. If we can grow 10 million
tons of food-and we can if we go
about it we shall weather a year
which otherwise may give us a taste
of discomfort we have not yet ex-
perienced. So its up to us!
THAT the strength of nation in
L the next years will be measured
largely by the amount of oil she has
in the ground was the gist of some of
the testimony given by Secretary of
the Navy before the Foreign Affairs
Committee relative to Lend-Lease ex-
tension.
The tremendously rich oil fields of
Saudi Arabia that are under control
of American companies are in the ma
ture of our anchor to windward. Every
barrel of oil we can secure from other
ground than the continental United
States is so much added power in the
postwar world
We have poured our oil out upon
the whole world-it is time we re-
versed the process by judicious action
and wise procedure.

Back in 1892 when machine guns

Daryl zanuck read in a magazine
that 486 gangsters had been killed
in Chicago in a year.

made undiluted horror a national

Today Zanuck, primarily a jour-
nalist who uses the screen instead
of the printing press. is again eZ-
cited. And of all the movie makers,
Daryl Zanuck has the greatest
power of getting excited and selling
his excitement to the public.

world affairs. He's about to release
