This would be approximately 40,000,000 less than in 1941. Europe produced 1,746,000,000 in 1933 and nearly as much in 1939. During the First World War Europe's harvest fell as low, by the Depart- ment’s estimate, as 865,000,000 bushels in 1917—a year in which the American harvest also ran short, and we grew familiar with “wheatless days.” Estimates of Europe’s yield can, under present circumstances, be little more than guesses. That its harvest should be larger than in the previous war is not improbable mots fertile districts of continental Europe were ac- | tively at war, and the care of crops was left to women; whereas in this war Germany has seen to | jt that, in the states which it has captured and now occupies, harvests are gathered by the male | population. All this does not mean that will have been reduced. The North American com- tinent has raised wheat crops nearly or quite beyond their record. Our 984-million bushel wheat crop has been only once exceeded; Canada’s 608-million crop is the largest ever harvested; so that the whole world's wheat harvest promises 230 million bushels more than in 1941 and, at the Department's estimate of 3,980,000,000, would exceed any year before 1928 S0 large was this surplus production as to lead the Department to remark that the whole world’s carry- over at the end of the current marketing year will be so great as to leave an unusually large supply, even if world shipping were to be resumed in the ‘int,erval Washinglon Merry- Go-Round (Continued from Page One) | !nese opened a ne | withdrawals {lian fighters in "wfluld be easier. t were moved | In | other powerful ero | sleeve—that 1944 Georges D'Argenlieu, to denounce the Darlan dcal spite of the fact that thire wi only eight persons at table, their host was a U.

In our first year of war, 8,192 soldiers and sailors |were killed. In the same period, 18,800 industrial workers were killed on the job and 27500 more were |Killed off the job. Afmost six times as many home- workers were killed as were front-line fight- wfmm !ing men. In the same year, 6335 fighting men were ‘mjul ies totaled approximately 4.000000. And of | these, 160,000 were injured permanently In these grim figures, we find a colossal prob- |lem. It is a war problem, because in one year it 'has meant the loss of about 500,000 man-days of labor, much of it in war plants or related enter- prises, Because more new men are working, and are working longer hours, the accident rate is high- er, adds its toll to the normal rate. To fight this undramatic but important | against industrial accidents, many leading indus- |trialists have banded together to launch the “War | Production Fund to Conserve Man Power.” This is lin essence an expansion of the National Safety Coun- cil to do an emergency job. It is a way of accelerat- ing the safety work of peace-time so as to counter act the upward drift of industrial accidents in war- time. It is truly a part of the over-all war effort Every industrial leader is urged to align him Iself and his industry with this program, which starts with able personnel, a long familiarity with the problem, and a clear insight into what the pres- ent emergency demands in the line of safety work. ‘A\“mdm\l prevention always justifies itself as a humanitarian enterprise. Today, it is more. Tt is qumu-d imperatively, and on a greater scale, as an essential part of the winning of the war. as fatigue accident battlc Hitler’s 'l‘error | (New York Times) | Despite all that has been written about Nazi persecution of the Jews, the facts in the joint state- |nient issued recently in Washington, London and | Moscow in the name of the United Nations will come las a shock to all civilized people who have preserved |a modicum of human decency. For this statement | lis not an outery of the victims themselves to which laany thought it possible to close their ears on the| eround that it might.be a special plea, subject to \doubt. It is the official statement of their own Gov- ernments, based on officially established facts; it is an official indictment of the Nazi rulers and their satellites; and it is the pledge of the United Na- |tions that just retribution shall be visited upon all‘ |those responsible for what one member of the Brit- | ish Parliament rightly calls the “greatest single horror in all history Not since the days of Ghengis Khan has the Western World come even into remote contact with such stark and systematic savagery as is described in this brief document. And that is exactly what Hitler's doctrine of the German super-race and its| right to domjnate the world represents—a terrible, deliberate reversion to the savagery of a primitive age which knew neither humanity nor human rights but saw life only in terms of a tribe to which every other human being was an enemy to be killed or enslaved. The most tragic aspect of the situation is the werld’s helplessness to stop the horror while the war is going on. The most it can do is to denounce the perpetrators and promise them individual and separ- ate retribution. But at least this we know: that there can be no compromise with this evil force. It must be driven from the face of the earth. | If the Chi~ w offensive, such be impossible, If given time, Madame Chiang will argue, the Japs will ccmplete' the gaps in the rail lines between Singapore and China, and thus have an overland transportation route, safe from submarines. Then |no matter how strong the British |and American Navies, they will be no more able to dent Jap supply‘ lines than the Japs can dent our communications between San Fran- cisco and New York. That, roughly, is the powerful ar-| gument Madame Chiang Kai-shek will make.

This is a month in which exhibitions of paintings will provide pleasure to many people hitherto indifferent to pictures. The need of escape from war realities will benefit stu- dents ac well as their elders. Hit- ler's war to blot out culture will! prove instrumental in awakening a desire for it, astrologers prophesy. In England and the United States thousands will turn to the finer things of life.

Members of the Adult Bible Class and the officers and teachers of the Presbyterian Sunday School were entertained at the home of Dr. and Mrs. G. G. Bruce with a delightful evening of music and games. Heavy snowfall of recent days had driven timber wolves out from the mountains and a large pack was in the Sheep Creek Basin, back of Thane, according to men who had recently come down from the Basin John Dolan, prospector, said he saw one wolf about six feet long. The wolves were bold, came close to his cabin in order to look for food, and made the nights weird with their howls, Mr. Dolan said. District Deputy President Josephine Langseth, assisted by her ant grand officers, Sabin Bokinich and Catherine Livie, had ¢ installation ceremonies for the Northern Light Rebekah Lodge, No. 1-A, which made Mrs. Gertrude Jewell Noble Grand, succeeding Miss Ma Garn, PNG, and installed the following new officers: Gertrude Jwell Vera Mead, Impi Aalto, Bd Asplund, Gertrude Laughlin, Freda Swanson, Josephine Langseth, Anna Kromquist, Catherine Livie, Hilda Aalto, Sabin Bokanich, N.
