TETS read what. they said about this
- amazing new personnel and cargo
carrier not SO long ago, in Philippines
dispatch to ''Yank," the Army weekly.
Here's the quotation:
"The Weasel is still getting to the front
in this tough sector after every other type
of vehicle has begged down in the rice
paddles and swamPs -. To the infantry
men stretching one days rations to three,
the sight of these little jobs, churning
through the bog past swamPed trucks,
is fine and heart-warming spectacle"
Designed by Studebaker engineers and
built in the Studebaker factories, the
Weasel finds footing on all kinds of ter
ain-sand, snow, mud, swamp or solid
ground. 1t chambers up and down steep,
slippery banks and takes to deep water like
boat-propelled from shore to'Shore by
the movement of its wide, flexible, rubber
padded tracks.

Studebaker proudly adds this versatile
new Weasel personnel and cargo carrier

seek protection by what is

mean that their boundaries may
not be invaded by any force

Realistically, then the small

THESE DAYS

THERE are some so nations in
Il this world of all sizes, kinds
and geographical dispositions.
Some, like Luxembourg. are
mere dots on the map; some,
like Poland. 60 through parti-
tions, changes of boundary and
population every time Europe
engages in another of its peren-
NAL wars.
None Of the small nations
are political accidents; they are
products of the workings of
racial, religious, linguistic, ma
tionalistic forces in European
history.
In a word, their existence has
10 do with the fundamentals in
the lives of peoples.
On the other hand. the eco
nomics of the twentieth century
practically precludes their sepa-
rate existence,
Modern industrialization re-
Quires huge interior and foreign
markets as we'll as guaranteed
accesses to raw materials.
But even more, vast reser-
voirs of manpower are essential
for the conduct of a productive
structure.
In the pre-war world, four
countries were modernly indus
trialized: the United States,
Great Britain, Germany and
Japan.
AS OF today, the United
States. Great Britain and Japan
remain.
IN THE immediate postwar
Il world, the principal indus
trial countries will undoubtedly
be the United States and Great
Britain, with Soviet Russia
seeking 10 assume -GerHaHyy,s
role. And China, naturally
hopes 10 assume Japan's role.
In terms of area and popula-
ton, that is, in terms of poten-
tial interior markets and man.
power, China and Soviet Russia
possess Incompatible capacity.
China possesses an area OF
100000 square miles and a
population of 450, 100000 people;
Soviet Russia's area, as of to-
day is S,S00.000 square miles.
and her population is roughly
1S0.000,000 to 200.000,000 per-
sons, and growing by territorial
accretion
The United States has about
3,000,00 square miles with a
population of 135000,000.
Were Great Britain alone, she
would be a small nation, but the
British Commonwealth of Ma
tions is tremendous in area and
manpower, and although today
its future is political impon-
derable. il must be assumed that
its postwar economic role Will
be tremendously important.
This is certain: There are no
indications that the Britis h
Commonwealth will fall apart
although its control may shift
from England to the dominions.
OBVIOUSLY, the small ma
" tions cannot develop eco
nomic strength 10 compete or
even hold their own with such
giants
Certainly, the small nations
