Japan's losses. on the contrary,
we're heaviest toward the END
of the war when the American
Navy moved into her home wat
ers and finally engaged her
fleet in a number of major en-
gagements, totaled 333 Qncluding
IL battleships, 20 carriers, 38
cruisers, 1872 destroyers, and 1879
submarines).
Due to the fact that the Navy
worked in convoy, anti-subma-
rine and amphibious operations
in the Atlantic, primarily fight
ing a submarine fleet and land
based aircraft. none of our bat
tleships, carriers or cruisers were
lost in that Ocean. But the Ger
man submarines, il will be re-
membered, did take a very heavy
toll of our merchant shipping in
1912 when they sank more AL
lied tonnage than the total sunk
by the japanese merchant ships
during the entire war. We were
successful in putting into effect
successful countermeasures a.
gainst the German U-boats in
l943, and by the end of the war
some Ills German submarines had
been sunk.

for distress over the prospects
of starvation. especially in the
defeated countries, when we real
re that the minimum emergency
diet recommended by the UNRR

even this is below what nutri-
tionists consider safe.
While ii is noted that our for

u. S. Navy
Now that the japanese war
has been over for several months
and figures are available a. to
our naval losses, requirements,
etc, it is easy to see how the
U. S. Navy, with the industrial
strength behind it, was success
full in crushing Japan's once for
midable Navy.
Before Pearl Harbor the United
States had 345 major combat
vessels as compared with Japan's
239. Despite heavy losses and
the tragic toll taken on our ma
val strength at Pearl Harbor,
this country was able to attain
a wartime fighting strength OF
1864 vessels; while Japan, due
to the fact that she lost the in
dustrial resources necessary to
keep her shipyards going in the
heavy bombing raids on the ia
panese mainland, was only able
to build UP her major vessels
to 438.
Sea losses for the United States
which we're heaviest during the
first year of the Japanese war
totaled 260 (including 2 battle
ships, 5 carriers, 10 cruisers, II
d~estroyers, and So submarines).

The Worlds Diet

As We have pointed out pre-
viously in this column, about all
many hundreds of thousands of
people in war-torn Europe have
to look forward to during the
coming winter is hunger and
in many instances-starvation
and death by disease due to lack
of adequate food. Legislation to
provide additional funds for the
United States contribution to the
United Nations Relief and Re
Mobilization Administration (the
Agency set up to feed and c1othe
the destitute throughout the
world) has been enacted for the
present fiscal year, and an APP
preparation for the ensuing year
is in the mill.
The following list, showing
the difference in diets in the in
dividual's daily consumption of
( o o d in various countries
throughout the world, proves
quite conclusively that u. S. lar
der is far better stocked than
that of any other country:
United States, $500 calories
daily per person; Denmark, 5000
calaries daily per person; Eng

son; France, 1000 calories daily
per person; Russia, 1000 calories

INTERNAL REVENUE
SENDS OUT BILLS

Joseph D. Nunan, Jr., Commissioner
of Internal Revenue, announced today
that separate bills are being sent to
approximately 100000 taxpayers who
postponed payment of part of the "m-
forgiven tax" shown on their 1943 in
come tax returns. These bills are being
mailed by the collectors Of internal reve-
nue. in the taxpayers home districts and
are payable not later than March is
1945.
Commissioner Nunan explained that
this type of payment is due from only
about 100000 out Of the estimated
100000 individuals who are required
to file 1914 income tax returns by March
15 1945. Therefore, in order to avoid
confusing the majority of taxpayers who
must file 1914 returns but do not owe
any unforgiven tax for the previous year
the Bureau of Internal Revenue is treat
ing these items as entirely separate
transactions.
The bills for ''unforgiven tax arise
from the switchover to the pay-as-you-gc
system of income tax collection. Tc
avoid collecting two years taxes from
individuals in one year, Congress for
gave in most cases at least rs per cent
of the individuals l942 tax and added
the unforgiven part to their l943 tax
At least one-half of the unforgiven part
was payable March Is, 1914, and the
balance is due March IS, 1945. 1t is this
balance for which bills are now being
mailed

APPEAL IN WARD
CASE LAYS 29
ERRORS TO JUDGE

CHICAGO.-FP)-A court decision
ruling against the government in It's
seizure Of Montgomery Ward 81 Co was
wrong on 20 counts, u. S. Atty. J. Albert
Woll contended in an appeal filed here.
Charging IL errors Of fact and II er-
rors in conclusions of law and judg-
ment," Vol said u S. District Judge
Philip L. Sullivans decision erred when
it failed to find that Wards refusal to
comply with National War Labor Board
directives established by Congress for the
peaceful adjustment Of wages within the
limits of the national program for the
wartime stabilization Of wages and
prices"
VOL also said Sullivan erred in find
ing that none Of the plants or facilities
of Ward "is equipped for the production
of articles or materials required for use
in the war"
The appeal further alleged that sulli-
van was in error in holding that Presi-
dent Roosevelt's executive order, under
which the Ward plants we're seized, was
'in any respect illegal, unconstitutional
or unauthorized"

HUMANE SOCIETIES

HEIENA-A House Bill No. 290 de-
signed for the protection of dumb ami
mails, introduced by Representatives M.
d. O'Connell and Frank Tierney, both of
whom are from Silver Bow county, and
Don Anson of Beaverhead was referred
the so-called Appropriation commit
ee of the House, consisting of Williams,
I ugherty, Oliver, Chaffin, Kimpel, Stout,
Armstrong, Hazelbaker, Wilson, Bovey,
Simpson Hall, Toole and Troy Evans.
The bill was summarily killed by the
committee without hearing nor was its
sponsors given an opportunity to be
heard.
The humane societies of the state were
sponsoring the bill with the object Of
curbing cruelties to dumb animals. Rep
resentatives of these societies personally
interviewed members of the committee
for their reason in killing the bill. Some
advanced the reason it would require a
few dollars to maintain humane off
Ger by the state.
The humane societies are indignant
about the bill they sponsored being
