WEEK -- Commentary on Current Events Naval War Won, Allies Must Win Air War Before Invasion Launched The air war over Nazi Europe is still growing in scope and intensity, comments the New York Times, Every passing day establishes new records for the number of Allied planes that roam the Nazi skies, for the weight of bombs and incen- diaries dropped on Nazi targets, for the number of Nazi planes des- stroyed, and for the relentless fre- quency of the attacks, In fact, in both numbers of men and amounts of materiel employed the air war has assumed proportions which place it in a special category of its own, It has finally taken the airplane out of the category of auxiliary weapon ' and made the air arm a major branch of the armed forces. The air Mar itself has become more than a niere prelude to the main event-- the invasion. It has become a spe- cial phase of a three-dimensional war which demands victory in every phase, and which thereby forces a revision of all past calculations of power, especially as they apply to countries like Great Britain and the United States. "Those Few ...... i It has been an axiom since Ma- han's day that sea power is the de- cisive factor in shaping world his- tory, and especially in winning wars. For naval power, by commanding the seas, also commands the re- sources of the world, and above all assures the communication lines of sea-borne troops. But the modern three-dimensional war is demon- strating that naval power alone is not enough, There is no doubt that without her naval power Bri- tain could scarcely survive. But ft is also true that she could not have survived without those few to whom so many owed so much--the Bri- tish Air Force, which was as in- strumental as the British Navy in * frustrating Hitler's invasion plans. Now the same thing applies to the Allies. The Second Phase For naval power alone can no longer safeguard the communica- tion lines of an invading force. To assemble the necessary invasion force the_Alfles had to win the naval war as the first phase of the total war, and even in that phase the airplane played an almost de- cisive role in defeating the U-boat menace. Now they must win the «air war as the second phase before the actual invasion can be launched. In the end, every war must be won in battle on the ground, which marks its final phase. But without victory in the two preceding phases there can be no invasion, no vic- torious ground battle, and therefore no final victory. Combined Operation It is undoubtedly considerations such as these which prompted Prime Minister Churchill to lay continued emphasis on the air war © in his latest speech, and also to point out to Marshal Stalin the dif- ficulties of large-scale amphibious operations as compared with pure- ly military operations in great land spaces. When the Russian armies -met defeat in the initial stages of the war they could retreat for some 900 miles into the interior and, after organizing the full resources of an * even vaster hinterland, resume the battle with greater chances of suc- There was no such retreat for | . the Apglo-French army, and there cess. will 'be no such retreat for the Al- They must the wookwork quickly extinguished before doing advance from the moment they set foot on the Continent in order to deploy all thelr forces. They must be certain that their communica tion lines remain intact and that the way in front of them has been blasted open." That cannot be done by the navy alone. It will require a combined operation in three di- mensions which would risk disas- ter unless air victory had heen ach- ieved first. Even then, Germany with her interior lines and excel: lent land communications might still be able to concentrate an over» whelming superiority at any in- vasion point unlesy her whole war potential 'has been seriously re- duced. The Russian armies have been accomplishing this reduction at a tremendous pace, and so has the air and naval war which, as the Russians themselves testify today, contributed so substantially to the Russian yictories. Things To Keep In 'Mind These are some of the things to keep in mind when relative accom- plishments in the war are meas- used by the Russian ground victor- . ies on the one hand and the Allied stalemate at Cassino on the other It is necessary to keep in mind that the American Air Force alone, though scattered on various fronts, numbers nearly two and.a half mil- lion men, or more perhaps than the number of Germans fighting on the Russian front. And the con- centrated British 'Air Force must be at least half as large again, It must be kept in mind that the de- struction of German war produc- tion wrought by the air war is far greater than could have been ach- ieved by any other kind of bom- bardment. And it must be kept in mind that at the present rate of losses German air power, on which Hitler depended for victory, is be- ing eliminated as surely as was German naval power. Westminster Hall One of a shower of German fire bombs which were dropped re- cently in the grounds of the Bri- tish Houses of Parliament, burned a hole in the roof:6f Westminster Hall. It landed on the slate roofing of that historic building, rolled down to the edge. where it set aflame, but was much damage. Westminster Hall was built by William Second, son of the Cone. queror, in 1087, and attained its present form, including its famous oaken ceiling in 1399, the last year of the Plantagenet dynasty. From the thirteenth century until 1882, Westminster Hall was the site of the chief English law courts. It was there that Charles the First was tried and condemned and his son James the Second was deposed, Cromwell was formally installed there as Lord Protector and pre- sented with the Bible and Sword as emblems of his new office. Among the notables" condemned to death in the same hall were Wil- liam Wallace, thé Scottish hero, the Earl of Essex, who had enjoyed and later lost the favor of Queen Elizabeth, and Guy Fawkes of "gunpowder plot" fame, who be- came the chief victim of. his own hare-brained conspiracy, SUPPLIES OF NEW CARTONS ARE RESTRICTED ® A Wartime Order limits the quantity of new cartons which a Brewer may purchase. * To fulfill quotas each brewer must re-use every carton returned in good condition. ® Our customerscan assist by: (a) exercising care when opening carton, (b) not exposing a carton to moisture.

More Cotton Used In Food Products Than In Clothes Cotton Plant Yields Edible Qil And High-Protein Cake And Meal For Cattle More cotton is going into food products today than is being woven into uniform and civilian clothing John TF. Moloney, of the National Cottonseed Products Association, says. For each bale of lint, the cot- ton plant yields approximately 140 pounds of edible oil, 400 pounds of high-protein cake and meal, 240 pounds of hulls and 80 pounds of linters, Mr. Moloney told a meet- ing of the Memphis Agricultural Club. Oil for Shortening Cottonseed oil is used chiefly for food, being used in the making of shortenings, table fats and mar- garine, Cooking and salad oils, Mr. Moloney said. In addition, he added, cottonseed oil is largely re- sponsible for making field rations for the armed services more pal- atable because foods made with this oil stand pp without refrigera- tion. As a result, soldiers have bis- cuits with shortening today instead of the hardtack of '25 years ago. "The armed forces also use con- , siderable quantities of cottonseed oil in table fats," -he continued. "Butter will not keep long with- out refrigeration and in many areas refrigeration is practically unavail- able. Under these circumstances, the Army is buying substantial quantities of margarine for over- seas use. Margarine made of cot- tonseed oil and packed in tins re- tains freshness and flavor for a year or more." Feeds and Roughage ,The 1942-43 crop produced enough cottonseed cake or meal, one of the principal protein concentrates, to supply 7,000,000 dairy cows for one year and equal in nutriment to 14,- 000,000,000 quarts of milk or 2,- of beef, Mr. Moloney estimated. Cottonseed hulls are used large- ly as roughing feed for cattle, sheep and work stock, he said, stressing that linters are used today for smokeless powder, transparent bomber noses and gun turrets, self- sealing gas tanks, instrument pan- els and controls, parachute cords and shrouds, photographic X-rdy film and hightenacity rayon tire cord. "Roughly 60 per cent of the lin- ter production of the past two years has been used in powdery" he added. Gunner Bails Out Taking Wounded Airman With Him The pilot ota a 8-26 Marauder dis- closed recently that his tail gunner bailed out of the plane carrying the unconscious waist gunner and that both reached ground safely. Lt. Clifford R. Conrad of Minne- sota, the pilot, said his plane was attacking enemy communications in northern Italy recently when a close burst of flak ripped away all the controls except the elevator trim tabs--only a fraction the size of re- gular controls. The plane went into a climb and then fell off into a part spin but the nose was pointed for home. Conrad managed to get the Mar- auder leveled off and over friendly territory before he ordered the crew to abandon ship, H did not know the waist gunner ras unconscious, Conrad landed in an Italian pig- sty and a group of natives ran to him carrying a jug of wine and later helped him get back to his base, There he learned that the tail gunner had picked up the uncon- scious waist gunner and jumped, First he pulled his companion's chute and when it opened he releas- ed lis own, OTTAWA REPORTS That Tenant Farmers Are On The Increase In All Provinces Of Canada Except Quebec In the forty-year period from 1601 to 1941, the number of farmers who own the land they live on has dropped from 87 percent to 75 per- cent, according to figures of the economist brauch of the Dominion Department of Agriculture. Of the nine provinces, only Quebec is the exception. In that province owner- operated farms increased from 90 percent in 1001 to nearly 93 per cent in 1941, ' . The years between 1028 and 1933 wlien farm prices dropped to their lowest level saw the most rapid drop in owner-operated farms across the Dominion. Of the 550,000 full owners" who operated their farms in 1941, less than one-half, or 48 percent, had mortgage indebtedness. The prairie provinces, hit hard in the previous years with drought as well as de- pression, ranked highest in indebt- ness. Ontario stood at the hali-way mark, and Nova Scotia reported the best standing. * Getting package bees away to a good start depends on a number of things, according to C. B. Gooder- ham, Dominion Apiarist at Ottawa, First of all, those expecting pack- age bees should arrange with their nearest express or customs officials for prompt delivery. To house the bees, one hive fitted with 10 drawn combs or full sheets of foundation is needed for each package, and from 10 to 15 Ibs. of sugar or honey is required to feed them. "When received the packages should be stood in a cool shady place, and the bees fed by sprink- ling a thin solution of sugar and water on the screenings of the packages. Wait for late afternoon or evening to release the bees in their hives unless the weather is cool and cloudy. * . It is not the bees you receive that will produce the honey crop, the Apiarist points out, but those which' can be reared between the time the 'packages are placed in the hives and the time the clovers are inn. bloom. This means that the bees mustn't be allowed to. run short of feed at any time. Start feeding as soon as they are in the hive and keep feeding until they are well established and obtaining enough from needs. Their best food is honey but it should nevér be given unless one is certain that it has been pro- duced by disease-free" colonies. White sugar dissolved in water is PIPE THIS em ne Col.

The island is only 120 miles from big Jap base at Rabaul. King Takes Cover At Invasion 'Battle' Live shells screamed overhead as the King watched British troops prepare for the forthcoming Euro- pean invasion during a two-day visit to army units, The battles were so realistic that at one time His Majesty, with a divisional commander and his staff, had to take cover behind a pile of tree trunks as massive explosions sent showers of earth over their heads. As the Royal Enginests laid a minefield with anti-personnel mines, the King suggested they be called "man-killers." In a 300-mile trip by road and rail, the King saw picked troops practicing beach assault and night raids, He saw the latest pattern of tanks and some of the newest weapons. The largest percentage of sui- cides occurs between the ages of 65 and 75, the fields for their the best substitute. Provincial apiarists will supply the necessary permits for sugar for feeding bees on receipt of full name and address, number of packages or colonies to be fed, and the minimum. amount of sugar required. . . There are good prospects that Britain will want four or five times as many fresh apples from Canada in 1044 as she received from the short crop of last year, But the Do- minion Department of Agriculture points out that prospects for this increased trade depend on three "ifs", 1f Canada has abundant supplies: Ii ocean shipping permits; If Canada's position for pack- ages, packing and ipland transpor- tation permits, * . * As a result of last fall's cam- paign in Ontario and Quebec, over 60,000 Ibs, of milkweed leaves, and more than 10,000 Ibs. of whole milk- weed plants have been turned over to the National Research Council where they are being processed, according to Dr. HM. A. Sean, Sci- ence Service, Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture. It is hoped, Dr. Senn says, that the large scale experiments now being carried out in milkweed collected by the rural schools of Ontario and Quebec, will confirm the indications of prev liminary experiments that the gum from milkweed may be uscful for blending with synthetic rubber.
