HOW TO BEAT INITIATION

nON'T LET'S go off the deep end again. Don't
~ let's spend foolishly forgetting that the wages
we're making now may not last forever, and
bringing about initiation just as we did in the
first World War.
Let's hold down the cost of living this time!
BY saving our money. BY buying war bonds and
building a nest egg. BY buying only what we
absolutely need By obeying the price ceilings.
Remember the terrible 3O's!
Are you going to let your soldier lad come
home to country where cup of coffee costs a
would be what imitation means: simply, a great
and disorderly rise in the cost of living. Don't
let it happen
Save your cash now
Buy war bonds.
Refuse to bid up prices.
Pay off old debts.

COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

The road to final victory over Ger
many and Japan is long, as the follow
ing shows:
The United Nations have liberated
approximately fifth of the territory
held by Germany year ago and ap-
proXimately twentieth of the terri
tory held by Japan at that time.
For number of months now the
news from the battle fronts has been
almost consistently good. Our side has
won battles in Africa, Europe and on
islands in the South Pacific. We have
been victrious in the air, on the land
and ON the sea.
This string of victories apparently
has caused some persons to think the
war is about over Therefore, it is per-
tinent to ask: How far has our side
actually gone toward winning this
war?
for making this measurement, because
it is impossible to know at what point
the enemy will surrender, there are
several ways of arriving at an esti-
mate Of the job still to be done.
One way is by considering the
amount of territory held by the enemy
the amount so far liberated by u.s.
and the amount still in the hands of
the enemy. If we do that, here is how
the picture looks:
Jan. 1, 1943, Germany and Italy held
1924, 166 square miles in Europe and
10000 square miles in Africa. Since
then we have liberated all of the terri
tory in Africa. approximately $4,000
square miles in Southern Europe
(Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica, and south
ern Italy, and more than 315,O0O
square miles in Russia. In other words,
out of total of 1864, 1855 square miles
of territory held by the Axis in Europe
and Africa, we have liberated areas
totaling approximately 100000 square
miles or less than One-tifth.
The 100000 square miles still held
by the Germans includes Germany
proper, since this time it is our inten-
tion to invade Germany and Berlin
itself, if necessary, to bring the enemy
to his knees.
Applying this same yardstick to the
war in the Pacific, the road to victory
is even longer. BY the time the Jap
anese had completed their cOnquests--
that is, before the allies prevented
them from taking still more land
their territory amounted to more than
100000 square miles, or almost half
again as much as the Nazi domain at
its largest.
Since then we have wrested 100, ,15O
square miles from the Japs, or a frac-
ton over 3 per cent. In addition, we
have freed considerable ocean area,
thus shortening our supply line.
1t should also be borne in mind that
the territory we have so far liberated
kay along the outer eXtremities and
that the closer we get to the enemy's
heart (Japan and Germany proper)
the Stitfer the defenSeS are likely to be
That war compelS us to realize that
we form Il community and not a mere
collection of individuals, is now evi-
dent to all. May this realization lead
us to continue in this spirit when
hOStilitieS cease and thus assure a
peaceful and better wOrld.-LabOr for

HOUSING NEED BIG CHALLENGE

THE HOUSING deficit accumulated over quar-
ter century and intensified by the war is enor-
nous. To meet this deficit and to provide modern
housing for the mass of American people in well
developed and properly planned communities is a
great challenge to the building industry and a
great challenge to the nation itself. TO meet the
need for requirements, to relieve over-croWdine
and to provide for the increase in the number of
families as we'll as for the inevitable postwar
migration, it would be necessary to maintain the
rate Of home construction during the 10 years fol-
lowing the war at minimum of 100000 dwell
ing units a year. Harry c. Bates, Chairman
