UNITED NA TIONS
AT WAR
U. S. SERVICEMEN
LEARN ABOUT ICELAND
American servicemen in Ice­
land have found themselves in
the midst of a civilization older
than their own. Iceland has sev­
en times as many books per
capita as the United States. It
has almost no illiteracy. School
children must learn four lan­
guages besides their own—Eng­
lish, German, French and Danish.
In Iceland, the whole American
garrison is housed in a series
of corrugated galvanized iron
huts that look like over-sized
water mains split in two, cupped
against the ground and anchored
to prevent the occasional 100-
mile-per-hour winter wind from
blowing them away. Icelanders
hope that these iron huts may
serve them as Ijarns and even
as houses—after the Americans
are through with them.
BRAZIL GIVES
U. S. COFFEE
The armed forces of the U. S.
recently received approximately
53,000,000 pounds of coffee
from Brazil. This gift, freshly
roasted, now is going 'to the
American soldier in all parts of
the world. By grinding and roast­
ing coffee at overseas bases,
much valuable shipping space is
saved and fighting men receive
coffee of full' strength, flavor
and aroma.
AUSTRALIANS BUILD
FOR AMERICAN USE
The Australian allied works
council spent $182,000,000 on
public works from February 26,
1942, through June. 1943. Of
this amount, more than one-third
was used on work for American
forces. The building of one large
airfield was begun six hours aft­
er the Americans asked for it and
was ready for bombers 17 days
later. Most spectacular item on
the program is the Tocumwal re­
pair and assembly depot which
has 608 buildings and covers
more' than 16 square miles. Nine
weeks after work started, the de­
pot was ready for the first
American plane to land.
The
council also has built on air­
craft hospital for American army
planes, a hospital for American
forces at Sidney, and is now
building a trans-shipment base
for American forces unloading
material sent from America.
"BATTLE BABY” EDITIONS
PRINTED FOR SERVICEMEN
The special services division
of the U. S. army recently in­
augurated a plan of procuring
“battle baby” editions of 24
magazines to be distributed to
all posts, large and small, over
the world. The magazines were
chosen as a result of a survey
of the men’s tastes. Stripped of
all advertising, most of them are
published on thin paper and on
formats of greatly reduced size,
although the type is
legible.
These editions are available only
to servicemen overseas.
MEXICAN LABORERS
SUPPLIED U. S.
Mexico is expected to supply
75,000 workers to the United
States in 1944.
GERMAN PEASANTS
GET APPEAL
In a recent speech, the Ger­
man secretary of state 'in the
ministry of agriculture appealed
to German peasants to increase
the output of potatoes, oilseeds,
dairy products and feed for live­
stock. He warned the peasants
that “the longer the war lasts,
the more severely and the more
absolutely must German peas­
ants fulfill their duty of sur­
rendering (their produce).”
PANAMA LAUNCHES
TO-FARM PROGRAM
BACK-
Panama is launching a “back-
to-the-farm” program to re-es­
tablish thousands of farm labor­
ers who migrated to the canal
zone to work on war-time con­
struction and who won’t be need­
ed when construction stops. The
ministry of agriculture proposes
to establish 20 breeding and dip­
ping stations in the
Chiriqui
and Los Santos provinces. Breed­
ing stock from the United States
will be crossed with native stock.

quotas of their products to the
authorities or who “purposely”
withheld products to sell them
