TO PHILIPPINES

The first shipment of $50 bale:
of clothing for relief in the Philip
pines is now enroute from Philip,
pine War Relief, member agency
of the National War Fund, accord
ing to word received yesterday by
E. L. White, president of the Com

and New Hanover county.
Shipments of similar amounts
are scheduled for every month for
the next six months, White added
The clothing which is b e i n 3
shipped has been chosen to meet
the particular needs of the Fillpinos
and much of it has been made by
groups of volunteer women vino

work on such clothing. In order
to increase the amount of clothing
available, however, White said,
priorities have been secured for
cloth, and professional assistance
has been called in.
Needs for clothing relief in the
Philippines is great, White stated,
and Philippine War Relief, having
been granted additional funds by
the National War Fund, is making
every effort to make it's monthly

War with the United States was
not unexpected in German circles.
In the autumn of 1941 the Germans
were convinced that war with the
United States was inevitable. They
believed, however, that it probably
would be delayed until March or
April 1912
The Nazis did not emission a for
NAL declaration of war by either
side. They thought it would be a
more or less spontaneous combus-
ton brought on by the United
States Navy conveying war mater
ials to Britain in the teeth of the
Navy submarine blockade.
There are other indications that
Germany never was able to main
tain close liason with Japan. Hitler
already was plotting the invasion
of Russia when Japan signed a
non-aggression pact with Russia.

The two countries, however, did
exchange military missions and it
is known that some blockade run
ners from Germany reached Japan
with precision instruments and
electrical equipment while JAM
anese ships brought some rubber
and Tungsten to Germany.
Never, however, was there anv
coordinated grand strategy for
joint German and japanese con-
quest of the world.
