Shipping space is needed for the war, and the early mailing of your gifts to friends and relatives in the States will really help this year. They Asked For It (New York Times) During the four weeks ending October 25 the Ger- mans dorpped 100 tcs; of bombs on Britain and the RAF dropped 17,000 tons of bombs on Germany. The ratio is 106 to 1 in favor of the RAF. It does not include operations by the United States Army Air Force, which has been unloading over the Continent at the rate of about 5,000 tons a month. This is what Nazi Germany has to show in the air for six years of preparation and four years of battle. Three years ago Hitler was still arrogant about this matter. In September, 1940, he said: If the British Air Force drops two or three or four thousand kilograms of bombs, we will drop a hundred and fifty, a hundred and eighty, two hundred thousand, three hundred thousand, four hundred thousand kilograms will carry out large-scale attacks o nour cities, and more in a single night. If they say they A PATRIOTIC GIFT " This is the time of the year when Alaskans, just like everyone else, start knitting their brows over the problem of what they are going to give their relatives and friends for Christmas, a problem that is usually taken care of by thinking about a list until the day before Christmas, then rushing out and buying helter skelter. There is one gift that everyone can.start their lists off with right now. Buy war bonds for gifts, Not only is such a gift sensible—but it’s patriotic, easy to mail, something that will be remembered for a long time and a gift not only.to your friend or relative but to the men in your country’s armed forces who need the things which your dollars invested in war bonds will make possible, In choosing other gifts, also, remember, this year above all years, SHOP EARLY. It's not too early now to start your list, to look around.

He said that if Mr. Churchill were determined | to continye the war in this way the Germans would | drop “a hundred bombs for cvery one of his and go on doing so until the British nation at last gets rid of this criminal and his methods.” A year ago last April he was more restrained. He said then that he would “retaliate, blow for blow, until this criminal falls to higher cost of living and higher taxes, shoppers have HAPPY BIRTHDAY NOVEMBER 17 Adelaide E.

This is a lucky wedding| day and seems to presage many love | marriages that ignore practical con- siderations. - Honors are to come to women wearing the uniforms of Army or Navy. Warning is given that envy may cause heartburnings when_promotions are numerous but pieces.” We cannot think that it is because of a unique | tenderness of heart that Hitler and Goering have failed | to carry out their threats. The provocation has bnen} great. United Nations planes have swept across | Creater Germany as far as Danzig and Vienna. They | have wrecked Hamburg and the cities of the Rhine They have struck at Nazi factories wherever they coul be found. They have forced the evacuation of cities. A grim dispatch from Zurich recently said that 1,- 200,000 German civilians had been killed or were ! missing in Allied air raids and that nearly 7,000.000f had been compelied to leave their homes. | This kind of warfare isnt pleasant. No kind of | warfare is. But the Nazis wanted warfare and they wanted his kind. They asked for it in Czechoslovakia | in 1938 and didn't get it. They asked for it in Poland | in 1939 and didn’t get it. They asked for it in Norway, the Low Countries and France in 1940 and didn’t get | it. Now they have it. This is what Hitler taught the Germans to do to other people. Now it is being done to them. It is | not pretty. P erhaps it is educational.

As- trologers foresee danger in many American cities and warn of pos- sible sabotage in certain places. In-| dustrial and food-processing dis- tricts appear to be under portents of special dangers. Cigarette smok- [ hould be especially careful to avoid adding to the usual fire haz- ards. | NATIONAL ISSUES: Criticism | of the OPA will be 50 persistent that a thorough housecleaning of the| Government agency will be de-| manded.

Senator Wiley persisted, wrote an- other letter pointing out the dis- aster to the world after the last war when the State Department presented a finished treaty to the Senate which the Senate would not ratify. He urged that the Senate get Hull’s views and cooperation in advance. But the Secretary of State, ac-! cording to Wiley, refused to budge an inch.
