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. New U. S. Fighter in Flight One of the most recent photos of Bruno Mussolini. 23-ycar-old son of Premier Benito Mussolini, who was killed in an air accident at Pisa. Italy. An officer In the Kalian air force, young Mussolini flew in the Ethiopian campaign, and with the Italian “volunteers'* In the Spanish civil war. No details of the air accident were given. \\ inners 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 period: 20.483.175 American cheese, 35.820,000 pounds; corn starch, 3tl.t>48.630 pounds; frozen eggs, 4.458.650 pounds; dried eggs. pounds; canned fish. 1,083.052 cases; dehydrated soup. 4.400.000 pounds; soy beans, 0,070.000 pounds; dried beans. 40.770,000 pounds; corn sugur, 5,696.000 pounds; enzymes. 3.360 pounds; dried apricots. 9.986,- 000 pounds; honey. 3.557.300 pounds; enriched flour. 399,000 pounds; con­ centrated orange juice, 92,302 gal­ lons; vitamin A. 2.547.183 units, vi- tamin Bl, 3.965 kilograms; peanut butter. 1.762.000 pounds; lard, 28,- 662,720 pounds. Note—Management of the lend- lease food program is under the Surplus Marketing administration, aided by the U. S. public health service, the British ministry of health and the Anglo-American food purchasing committee.

Y., winning the Hambletonian There was one unwritten chapter cup. Both arc shown above. 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 I that it came not through diplomatic channels, but through Mr. Currie i who is only a White House secre- I tary.

A Fast One 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.

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.
