REVERSE LEND-LEASE;
australia, NeU Zealand

Reverse lend-lease supplies from
Australia and New Zealand to the
United States now exceed United
States lend-lease shipments to
those countries, Oscar Cox, gen.
eral counsel for lend-lease admins
tration, told the house foreign af-
fairs committee early this month.
In the first full year of reciprocal
aid, Australian contributions were
10 per cent Of total Australian war
expenditure. In 1894 the proper
ton rose to 20 per cent, and budget
estimates for 1944-45 anticipated
expenditure Of "a per cent of total
war costs on reverse lend-lease.
More than 80 per cent of food and
clothing for American forces in the
South and Central Pacific is supplied
by Australia and New Zealand.
The Australian policy has been to
concentrate reciprocal lend-lease
assistance on services and supply
which the Australian economy is
best fitted to meet. Transporter
ton, camp accommodation, airfield
construction, warehouses and hos
pitfalls are examples of services.
But the major contribution has
been in food and general supplies.
In spite of difficulties caused by a
recent drouth, which has reduced
wheat crops in Australia by more
than 50,0O0,D00 bushels, it is antici-
pated that Australia will meet her
commitments.

EUROPE:
Span Barriers

From the west and from the east
the great battle for Germany was
begun, with a sorely pressed Nazi
command, which once marshalled
its legions in triumph, desperately
attempting to stem the Allied tide.
Most significant of the Allied
moves was the u. S. crossing of the
Rhine in pursuit of disorganized
enemy; who had broken off the bat
tie. to tie west of the river and at
tempted to flee to supposed security
behind its broad span, previously I'M
crossed since Napoleon's time.
Smashing quickly through enemy
guards, who tried to slow up
the u. S. and British advance and
give the main body of their troops
a chance to escape across the Rhine,
Allied spearheads not only reached
the historic river in short time but
also spanned it with the intention of
affording the disorganized enemy no
Opportunity to reform his ranks for
a stiff defense of the waterway.

PACIFIC:
Stubborn Foe

Despite the loss of over 225, 1000
men in the Philippine and Two
Jima campaigns, the Japs contin-
ued to offer stiff resistance to
American clean-ups in these Sec
tors.
Indicative of the tenacity of the
enemy was his withdrawal to the
hulks Of battered ships in Manila
Bay to continue the fight with small
arms fire after having been driven
out of Manila itself. Although they
already had lost over 212,000 men
on both Leyte and Luzon, an esti-
mated 10000 Japs fought on from
natural strongpoints against Yank
attempts to compress them in the
mountains lying to the east Of
Manila.
With more than $4,000 Japs al
ready killed on Two Jina, marines
still were forced to inch forward on
the northern part of the tiny island
to flush enemy remnants from the
rocky hill positions. Because the
Japs could retire to underground
shelters during heavy aerial or
artillery bombardment, the Leather
necks were compelled to root them
out in close-in fighting.

C.. W. BRYAN PASSES:
Great Con,naoner's Brother

Widely known as the brother of
the Great Commoner, but an able
politician in his own right, Charles
W. Bryan, three times governor of
Nebraska, died in Lincoln, Neb.,
at IS.
First coming into prominence as
secretary to his il1ustrious brother,
William Jennings Bryan, during the
historic presidential election of 1896,

ter mile in width and its banks flat
tened out, Hodges men steadily ex-
banded their bridgehead for thrust
across the rolling hill country lying
just below the vital Ruhr valley,
prime source of German war indus
try.
AS Hodges troops poured across
the Rhine in the wake of Germans
struggling inland, the enemy tried to
chop up the American beachhead
with mortar and artillery fire, and
armored elements launched limited
counterattacks in an attempt to trim
the expanding foothold.
While Hodges famous LIST attained
the singular honor of becoming the
first military force to cross the
Rhine since 1918, the u. S. 9th and
British and Canadian armies to the
. north and the U. S. 3rd army to the
south also drew up to the river in
record time, poised for the leap after
having cleared huge pockets of en-
envy troops to their rear.
Meanwhile, the Russians launched
a broad about assault on Berlin, with
Red infantrymen,. paced by armored
columns, smashing deep into the en-
envy defenses west of the Oder.
Thus did the Allies breach the

FARM DEBT:
Cut Sharply

At its peak in 1923 when it totaled
over 1Ok billion dollars, the ma
tons farm debt dropped to 5A
billion dollars by January, 1945, with
20 per cent reduction taking place
within the last 5 years.
AS a result Of the war-stinu-
lated economy, farmers have en-
joyed high income, as reflected in
the big increase of both realty and
plant value. Since 1910, worth of
livestock was nearly doubled, ma
chinery and equipment was up one
third, and land values rose about Is
per cent. In addition, farmers hold
ings of currency, bank deposits and
war bonds increased nearly bill
lion dollars during that time.
In reviewing the farm mortgage
picture, the Federal Reserve bank
showed that federal land banks and
other agencies substantially in
creased their investments during the
1905 while those Of individuals
declined. The proportion of farm
mortgages held by life insurance
companies has risen slightly while
commercial banks have experienced
only slight drop.

Slow Driving
On Peck Road

An appeal to all car and truck
drivers to limit their speed to 25
miles an hour On the Fort Peck
highway during the next few weeks
while an armor coat seal of oil and
crushed gravel is being placed on
it was issued this week by r. l.,
Ewing of Wolf Point, district IN
gineer for the state highway de-
partment.
For your safety, the safety OF
our workers. to keep from getting
oil on your car and also to expedite
this work. flagmen and a pilot car
are being used to conduct you
through our operations Mr.. Ewing
said.
Fast traffic over this new work
will tend to whip the gravel off
for the first two weeks, before the
oil sets up enough to hold 1t. which
of course will materially shorten
the life of the improvement. We
are asking all drivers to hold their
speed down to IS miles an hour
and to mistrack while passing over
the entire length of this new work,
so long as the signs are in effect.
Your cooperation will be appreci-
ated: after all it's your road"
The oil mat on the highway has
dried out and cracked to such an
extent that moisture is readily adj
mitted. which hastens the breakup
of the covering, Mr.. Ewing eX-
planned. The work is being done
now is to preserve and lengthen
the life of the road. 1t is being
done by a state highway crew.

Sc0ttieS Lose
Opener to
Coyote Club

Playing their football season
opener at Williston. N. D., Friday
night, Glasgow's Scotties lost tC
the Coyotes in a closely-contested
game, 7 to o.
The Dakotans scored within the
first five minutes. Receiving. they
failed to gain and kicked. A quick
kick back by the Scots put it on the
Coyote 80. Then a smoothly executed
double reverse from a T formation
brought the Coyotes a gain of so
yards and put the ball on the
Glasgow 5. From there, it took four
plays to punch it over, the last a
fake end run.
Play was rough and rugged
throughout the contest. The Scots
took the offensive the third period
and into the fourth, Keeling off
four first downs on passes and
power plays to get inside the Coyote
10 only to be set back by a 15-yard
penalty. Again, Glasgow advanced
to near pay dirt but again was
penalized.
1t was a typical first-season
game. with fumbles and flubbed
passes. but the Scots showed po-
t%entialities for a strong outfit.
