A Zurich newspaper, Die Tat, said that to the bureaucrats “the novel or a horoscope sheet.” Actually the coal shortage and the reduced electrical energy dur- jing the winter months are major factors in the country’s paper shortage.

Let them come; we stand brave- ly at our posts, armed with secret weapons, with which we will annihilate them.” | But military men here said that the Jap will not be able to weather the storm nearly as well s did the Germans, and that they lack the chemical and mechanica! genius of the Germans to produce weapons that would be compar- able with the V-bomb. | “The threats amount to noth- ing,” one military man. said. “The Japs, struck from every quarter, and at their wit's end to meet the threat to their home- land, are using everything they have against us, and, if they have secret weapons, they would have been directed against us long since.
