Bookshelf ... The High Barbaree by Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall A Catalina Flying Boat lies ditched in the Pacific after its death struggle with a Jap submarine. Its radio has been destroyed, its water tanks- punctured, and three of its crew killed. But the Cat still floats, and in it the two survivors, Aiec Brooke, the young pilot from Iowa, and his navigator, Gene Mauriac of California, sweat out the hours as they wait for rescue. Days of overcast--on one of which they see a plane that does not spot them--are succeeded by an endless stretch of brassy heat. They know they have drifted far out of range of Henderson Field, and as the hours pile up and the water runs tow, Alec begins to reminisce about his home town in Iowa, about his sea-faring uncle, and about his boyhood dream of a tiny Pacific Island, an island marked "Existence Doubtful" on the old maps, an island toward which they might even now be drifting . . .

Proposed Loan To Great Britain "Deal" of Vital Importance to all United Nations The loan of $4,400,000,000 arranged last week by British representatives with the United States government has- two features--an advance of $3,750,000,000 to Britain, to be used to re-establish domestic economy, and $650,000,-000 by way of a Lend-Lease balance. The essential aspect of the $4,400,000,000 loan is the good it can do the two Countries (and the world) in setting up the basis for new trade agreements which will permit a free flow of world-trade The major trade concessions made by Great Britain will work to the advantage of the United States, by opening up new markets to American industry and agriculture. It is not inconceivable that these renewed markets will add more billions to the national income of the United States in one year than the amount of the loan. In fighting the war, says the New York Sun, Great Britain entirely exhausted its working capital. The British still are in a strong pi Mil busi r all ( jrld. They and an established reputation for sound business dealings, but they haven't the goods with which io stock their shops. It is now proposed that we help them by supplying working capital. If we do so we can hope that the channels of world trade once mere will be open to ourselves as well as to Great Britain and other nations. If world trade cannot be established in in orderly manner, the "alternative for Great Britain will be inability to buy goods from us Population of U.S. Over 140,000,000 The Census Bureau has an nounced that the population of the United States passed the 140,000, 000 mark about Oct. 1.
