AMERICANS have it on the authority of President Roosevelt, himself, that when Jimmy Doolittle & Company winged away for Tokio they took off from "Shangri-la." Now, "Shangri-la" does not appear in our book as an oil producing country. So we won der how the fuel for Doolittle's bombers got to that mythical hod. Frankly, we don't know uie answer. But we do know that on many seas tankermen are braving storms and submarines. Through Hirohito, Hitler, and High Water, they're carrying oil-supplies to power our forces of land, tea and air. They're delivering the goods th goods to help finish Hitler! Hirohito, too! Standard can't say whether they've already been to "Shangri-la" a country which ap pears on neither map nor chart But Standard can assure you that when the orders read "Shangri-la," those boys will get there somehow. Wherever it is, Mr. President whenever you say. General Doolittle they'll deliver. Some of these stout lads work for us. Some work for other oil companies. To every on of them our hat is off. Yours, too, no doubt. So uphold their arm. Back them up by remembering always that oil is ammunition. Vfhether you use much or little makt it tounl.
