Nazi Bottlenecks (Cincinnati Enquirer) Four major bottlenecks are cramping German war production this year, judging by the best available d of the enemy. The first, and worst, is a shortage of coal pro- The Germans use coal in the production of gasoline, synthetic rubber, chemicals, soaps, greases, and In supplying the power for transportation, elec- | mills. In all, the essential war But, 370,000,000 tons. One reason the German air force may be disput- ing only the major Allled raids is that the available fuel for the Luftwaffe has been cut about 25 per cent. The Nazi air force's requirements of gasoline for 1944 are estimated at 9,000,000 tons, which would require | 270,000,000 tons of coal to produce. Minister Albert Speer recently ordered the manu- facture of artificial gasoline cut down by 2,000,000 tons.

In other words, he can't, even if he wishes, be in favor of something he can't pay for. The advantages of statehood to Alaskans are apparent at once. Under statehood, Alaskans would inherit the full rights and privileges of American citizens, something which they do not have atygpresent.
