They may be small in numbers, but they not only know exactly what they want, they are working night and day to attain it. And unless all signs fail it will not be long before the .world will clearly see that wore than any other poitical minority in existence they are willing to fight and die for their political beliefs.

Bv the way, in that list above, we left out the most striking example of all China. The war is eoine badly in China and for one out standing reason China is not only fighting with her back to the wall against Japan, but is torn asunder by the above-mentioned world revolution. In fact Brooks Atkinson, war correspondent of the New York Times, who has been in China many months and made a careful study of .the internal situation in that country recently declared: "Chiang Kai-Shek, it seems, is mora concerned with maintaining his political supremacy than In driving the Japanese out of China." i AND that supremacy consists almost entirely In tMittinnr rlnum nnrl Voeninor rlnwn Hi A f.hinVsA Communists who control northwest China.

News Behind The News By Paul Mallon Washington, Nov. 28 Where are the cigarettes? This year the country is producing the second largest tobacco crop in all its history. Last year it pro duced the big gest The fig- ure for this year will be 1,072,000, 0 0 0 pounds of flue cure, the type used in cigar ettes. Of this, Paul Mallon the govern. ment is buy ing, through the commodity credit corporation, 400,000,000 pounds for lend-lease. Most of It will go to the British for their cigarettes, leaving us only two thirds of our crop. a a a. THE , government, you know. has had restrictions not only on the growing of tobacco but on the amount to be releas ed to the cigarette manufactur ers. At the start of the year, it announced it would give the makers for American cigarette production only 482,000,000 pounds, then in August it upped this figure to 878,000,000, in September to 624,000,000, and finally, In October, to 668,000,- 000. Within this situation I think, is the basic cause of the diffi culty, A flurry of excuses are being offered on every side, but this one gets at the heart of the problem. True, cigarettes are not made out of current tobacco. The leaf is aged generally from two to three years, sometimes more. But the crop curtailment, man aged releasing, lend-lease proc ess above described has "been going on for many years. . Obviously, our managed econ omy in tobacco has not worked any better than Is noticeable in other farm and industrial lines. Indeed, the commerce depart ment bureau of foreign statistics more than a year ago was able to forecast the precise shortage situation which has now de veloped, and the prophesy was based largely on the factors above described. Obviously, not enough tobacco was permitted to be grown three or four years ago to take care of the tremendous demand from Britain, which has constantly in creased from year to year and the war Increase In our own consumption. a ' AFTER this explanation, most n h. ... ... -J fered on every side have au thentic RnrnnHarv mnllf.nHnn Our people are smoking much more aue to war strain ana swol len pocketbooks. .

LET HIM Paul F. Berdanler United Feature Syndicate, tne. J'Tf Olive Barber's I Observations Folk behavior: Because de mand is greater than supply, a new courtesy among clerks has developed. When competition was keen, clerks often tried to sell an article to a customer against the customer's better Judgment. Now that the clerks know they'll sell the article in any case, they not infrequently advise the would-M purchaser against buying. It pleased me the other day, to hear a clerk say to a woman who was trying to find a becoming hat, "Well, we've tried them all and I can see you are no more satisfied than I. Why don't you try the store down the street. They carry a larger line of hats than we do." Waiting In line at the post of fice to mail a package, the wait was lengthened because a boy brought a package which was poorly wrapped. It was being sent over seas to his brother in service. The woman at the win dow exclaimed over the awk ward wrapping, then raised the window grill, took the package and rewrapped it herself. Though tha waiting line was long, I saw no looks of irritation. Every one in the line seemed interested in the rewrapping of the package. And again it came to me as it so often does that we're pretty fine folk. I didn't see the following in cident but a friend did and told me of it. The meter system Is used here for parking cars. If the car isn't moved, or another nickel deposited when the time limit is reached, the one guilty of over-parking is given a ticket to appear at the city hall. He is then fined a dollar. My friend happened to be near a car the other day when a little woman rushed out of a store and to her car. She had parked overtime and she knew It She was ooorly clad, as were the four children waiting for her in the car. When she saw her parking 'time had been ex- tended, she exclaimed over this and spoke about it to the chil dren. "Oh," said a miss aged 7 or so, "a nice man came along and talked to us. He looked at the meter, then put some money In it. Then he went away." Little incidents like the above seem especially dear during these times when "men's Inhu manity to man" is a constant and increasing horror.

Lack of Lemons Due To Demand By Flu Victims Washington, Nov. 28 (U.R) Your grocer may have "no lem ons today" sign but don't blame this latest shortage on the Oc tober hurricane which blitzed the Florida citrus crop. 1 The agriculture department today cited last year's influenza epldemlo as the villian In the case. "Flu" and cold victims drank so much hot lemonade and lem on Juice that little of the fruit went into storage and growers harvested their lemons before they reached full size in order to take advantage of good prices. The department pointed out that practically all commer cial lemons are grown In Cali fornia. The heavy medicinal use has shown up now when storage supplies are low and harvest of the new crop is Just starting, the department said. It .prom ised that lemons from tha "good sized" 1944 harvest will appear on the market by mid-December. TOO MANY HEADS Sacramento, Nov. 28 U.R) Walter F.
