FOOD FOR BRITAIN
Part of the 14,000 shipyard workers of the Federal shipbuilding plant
are shown here standing idle outside the plant at Kearney, N. J., after
having been called out by the C.I.O. In the meantime $373.000.000 in
defense shipbuilding work came to a standstill. Two cruisers, six destroy
ers, three tankers and two cargo boats are on the ways at this plant.
Russian Citv Aflame After Bombardment
The German caption merely calls this spectacular picture of a city in
flames “the burning of Dunaburg.”
Dunaburg is the Russian city of
Dvinsk in White Russia. It was once a great artillery center for the
Russian army. “Nothing but the complete annihilation of the Soviet
forces will end the Russo-German war" is the conclusion reached in
military circles in Berlin.
Unloading Silk From Japanese Ship
In this sound photo longshoremen are shown unloading silk from the
Tatuta Maru, Japanese merchantman, at San Francisco, Calif. The
cargo, valued at $2,500,000, is being shipped by rail to New Jersey,
where it will be stored pending the outcome of libel suits filed against
NYK Lines, owners of the Tatuta.

In the headlines, lend-lease aid to
Britain is chiefly a story of planes,
tanks, ships, guns and munitions.
Hut these dramatic war supplies are
only one part of the picture.
An equally vital, though little
known, phase of this gigantic pro
gram is food.
Today, practically every ship
leaving U. S. shores for embattled
England carries stocks of food as
part of its cargo. Also lignifleant
Is the fact that this steudy flow of
food shipments differs markedly
from those of World war days.
Then the foodstuffs were in bulk
form—boatloads of grain and fresh
meats
But now. with British and
Allied shipping suffering terrible de
struction. there aren't enough bot
toms to transport both bulky arma
ments and bulky food across the
hazardous Atlantic.
Since the cargo space for bulky
armaments cannot be reduced, and
with the British food situation be
coming acute, food Is being shipped
in concentrated and dehydrated
form. Thus it is carried in the
same ships with arms and muni
tions. taking up relatively little
space.
The extent of these shipments and
what they meant to the American
farmer is shown graphically by the
following list of lend-lease food pur
chases in a very recent seven-wcek

in the story of American freezing ot
funds of those two Oriental neigh
bors, Japan and China.
It was published that the funds
of friendly China were frozen as
well as the funds of unfriendly
Japan.
But unpublished was the
fact that China for four months had
been asking the state department
to freeze its funds, but the state de- J
partment had refused.
China's request was quite unusual,
for most nations object strenuously
to having their funds frozen. For
instance, Switzerland, hearing that
she would be included with Ger
many when Hitler's funds were fro
zen. argued for weeks.
But in the case of China, many
ot her funds are in the hands of big
Chinese merchants and bankers in
Shanghai, who for business reasons
are playing with the Japanese. And
they have been draining Chinese
currency from the country.
So Roosevelt's special Chinese
emissary, Lauchlin Currie, was re
quested by Chiang Kai-shek to ask I
Secretary of State Hull to freeze
Chinese funds. This would have ham
strung the pro-Japanese Chinese.
However, Secretary Hull refused. J
Twice Chiang Kai-shek made the re
quest, but both times it was refused.
In fact the state department even
denied that such a request was
made, presumably on the ground I

BOOTLEG GASOLINE
Red Leader
The days of bootlegging from
Canada may be coming back again,
j In this case, however, the bootleg
ging will be gasoline, not alcohol.
Canada has imposed a ban on sale
of gasoline between 7 p. m. and 7
a. m. on weekdays, and all day Sun
day. But this restriction does not
apply to Americans.
i Now comes the proposal of Oil
Administrator Ickes to impose a
similar ban on gasoline sales in
eastern states.
Result would be
that a motorist would be unable to
buy gasoline in Buffalo or Detroit,
but could cross the river and buy it
in Canada.

PUBLIC nature of advertising bcnc-
JL fits everyone it touches. It benefits the
public by describing exactly the products that are offered. It
benefits employees, because the advertiser must be more fair
and just than the employer who has no obligation to the public.
These benefits of advertising are quite apart from the obvious
benefits which advertising confers—the lower prices, the higher
quality, the better service that go with advertised goods and firms.
