FOR THE JUNE BRIDE

This is the month when menus
for the bride are upnermost in many
minds. Wedding breakfasts, bridal
receptions, and many other festiv7
tiles connected with the bride, both
before and after the wedding cere-
mony call for choice foods and care
full planning of menus.
Then too, eventually the recep-
tons and festivities are over and
the June Bride settles down to the
preparation of her own menus for
the daily home meals It may be
more or less bewildering for the in
experienced brides of 1945 who are
confronted with ration points,
shortages of meats and many Of the
staples which she has been ac-
customed in past year to enjoying
at her mothers table and in the
homes of friends. But the-less
the meals will have to be prepared,
and she will have to plan them.
Many a June Bride will often won
der how she is going to be able to
manage against such odds, But with
| true American initiative she will
carry on and her lesser half"
will never know the planning and
scheming it has taken to provide
him three good squares a day.
Now this market cannot claim to
be able to smooth away all the
menu troubles for June Brides or
other housewives, but it does do
everything that is humanity posi-
BILE, to assist them in their food
problems. 1t offers all the good
foods it can possibly obtain, and
offers them at budget-saving prices,
and combined with good foods and
fair prices, it offers courteous,
friendly service, a service which
appreciates not only your patron
age and the money you spend here,
but also realizes the difficulties un-
der which all housewives are work
| ing in preparing their meals. We
invite you to trade at our market.

Little Less Reverse, Please!

The British Ministry of War Transport is
charging the United States government-mean-
ing you, and you, and you-$100 as fare for each
American soldier returned to this country On the
British liners Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth.
The governments of France and Britain have
been asked to permit free passage through the
Suez Canal for our transports carrying troops
from Europe to the Asiatic theatre of war in
stepping up the tempo of our drive on Japan
Thus far, this request has gone unanswered;
and it seems to be foregone conclusion that we
shall have to pay the French and British stock
holders high canal transit tariff to move our
fighting forces to the Pacific, there to use them,
in part, to restore fragments of the imperial pos
sessions of these two countries which were so
rudely detached by the Japanese in 1912
Officials of the two European countries in
volved in these transactions explain with utmost
naivete that it is all part of lend-lease"
Too much of this reverse stuff will reverse
what is left of respect held for the peoples and
governments of France and Britain by their best
(almost only remaining) frends-the people of
the United States
But perhaps that we have saved their
national and personal skins in Europe, they have
the idea they need good, strong, generous friend
no longer.
That would be all right with us-if they'd just
tell us in so many words. Then we'd know where
we stand.

Scandinayians Helped, Too!

Scandinavian names and Scandinavian daring
and intrepidity are threaded inextricaby through
the fantastic story back of the atomic bomb.
For more than decade DR.. Niels Bohr, a Dan

crets of the atom. His research and experimental

of atomic fission. division, when he abruptly

against German invasion, and because he did not

development of what even then he believed could
be turned destructivey to the purposes of war.
Dr. Bohr fled Denmark in fishing boat, max
ing his way to Sweden in September of 1913. I'M

dish police at the request of Danish authorities,
who feared he would fall into the hands of Ger

fist, is likely to be overlooked. Dr. Nobel made
fortune by inventing and developing explosives.

Decay, and Further Decay

In the disclosures of the Petain trial and in the

ALL the world is given many and varied reasons
why France fell to the Germans in the spring of
1910.
A simpler explanation would be to say France
fell because its inhabitants were Frenchmen.
The typical Frenchman is ambitious, selfish,
grasping, and utterly unstable in temperament.
He is the worlds most dangerous kind of indi-
vidualist He has little loyalty to friends, even
less to principles, and no sense of featy to coun-
try which can not be overcome if opportunity Of
fers to pick up a few francs on the side. His
political relations with other nations have been
marked by deceit, chicanery and double-dealing.
There are and have been exceptions, of course,
but exceptions do not rule circumstances.
The prevailing qualities of the French explain
why, at the time Germany struck, there were
some twenty political parties in the Chamber of
Deputies engaged in lung exercise and name-cal-
ing when there should have been unity of purpose
to preserve La Belle France
These parties (they scarcely deserve the term,

 If we do not crush the military might of Japan in this war we may never again have the opportunity.
 Japan, potentially, is "the strong est nation in the world," Under Secretary of State Joseph C.. Grew, pre-war ambassador to Ja- pan and one of Americas leading authorities on the Nipponese, has warned.
 The Japanese military caste and it's machine must be wholly crushed and destroyed and rem dered impotent to reproduce it. self," MT. Grew declared recently. If we settle for anything less, the Japs are certain to strike again in "5, 10, or 50 years-whenever they think the time is ripe" And, if they are permitted to retain their con- quests, when they strike they will have at their disposal "all of the material resources they need and the labor of a huge aggregate of human beings, the majority of whom are docile and are capable of tremendous toil." The US. then would not be able to oppose their lust for world domination with so many advantages on our side and so much certainty of final victory.
 Secretary Crews warnings point up the job which still remains to be done in the Pacific-a job on which the whole of Allied military and naval might can now concen- trate with the surrender of Ger many.
 In order to get that job over as speedily as possible, and in fair ness to the relatively small force of Army men who with the Navy, Coast Guard and Marine Corps, have been carrying the brunt of the fighting in the Pacific and Asia for more than 3 years, every soldier in Europe who can be em- ployed effectively against the Japs will be transferred to that theater.
