BRITISH A WAR K OF CONGRESS
Although the average Britisher
will be amazed if FDR is not elected
to a fourth term, recent weeks have
seen the British press and public far
more aware of the possibility of Re
publican victory.
When Governor Dewey began his
recent speaking tour, he rated about
one paragraph per speech in most
London papers, with an editorial
tending to deprecate the GOP stand
ard-bearer. Enthusiastic Republican
Representative Karl Mun it of South
Dakota remarked that when he ar
rived in Lor.d r. early in Septem
ber, he ret dt d a macnifvtr.g glass
to fir.d any icfi rer.ee to Oewi y—al
ways rc.'ened to bv the Brit..-h as

GOOD NEIGHBORS
PROVIDE COFFEE
The back.-tage story in rt gard to
the near threat of of!"• e rationing
is that the Good Neighbor policy
paid dividends hist month. Brazil
ian friendship enabled us to avert
either collee rationing or a cot Tee
rise in price. The American house
wife will be in $18,000,000 between
now and Christmas because of the
Good Neighbor policy.
U. S. retail cot Tee prices here have
been frozen since December. 1!'41,
but the cost of producing coffee in
Braz.il, Colombia, Salvador and
Venezuela has not. Growers there
have been clamoring for higher
prices.
The governments of these four
countries have been under constant
pressure from powerful coffee inter
ests to get better prices in the
United States, fn general, the grow
ers of Venezuela, Colombia and Sal
vador have had partial support from
their governments, but the Brazilian
•government has refused to press for
higher prices.
As a result, growers have been
tapering off in their acceptance
of orders from the U. S. A.
Gambling on an early end of the
war, they decided to build up
stocks for immediate sale to Eng
land, Sweden. France and Spain.
(Coffee will keep in the bean for as
long as five to ten years.)
This refusal of growers to accept
new orders led the War Food Ad
ministration to recommend ration
ing to OPA Administrator Chester
Bowles last summer. Bowles op
posed rationing then, though agree
ing with WFA Boss Marvin Jones
that we should not raise the price
of coffee.

1,000,000 BAGS A MONTH
When brilliant Brazilian minister
of finance, Souza Closta, was in
Washington last July, he guaran
teed us a minimum of 1,000,000 bags
of Brazilian coffee for each of the
four months from September
through December. Costa promised
extra large shipments from Brazil,
risking the extreme anger of Brazil
ian growers in the interest of U. S.
friendship.
Meanwhile, the administration
found itself unable to buy coffee for
delivery even next year. The Brazil
ian guarantee is only for the re
■mainder of this year, and the Ameri
can people drink more than 1,000,-
000 bags a month, it has been point
ed out.
It was at this point that Marvin
Jones and Chester Bowles went
to assistant Pres. Jimmy Byrnes
with their problem. Byrnes advised
immediate rationing. He knew that
the threat of renewed rationing
would cause plenty of worry among
the coffee growers.

Truce Clears Battleground of Civilians
- ■
When Dunkirk became the center of operations. Allies and Germans agreed to a truee in order that
civilians could leave the city. Views showing them leaving are typical of other cities along the route of
the advancing V.inks. Allied headquarters say that the Dunkirk truce plan may not be followed in all other
cities. Individual commanders will decide in the future.
Holland in Ruins as War Rages Toward Berlin
Typical of most nolland cities, Nejmegen. hit by German and Allied bombardment and shelling, shows
the effect of the war upon that country. American soldiers aid in cleaning up the city as well as take care
of snipers left behind by the retreating Nazis. Cooperation of organized Holland underground has made it pos
sible tor Allied troops to advance rapidly. Nothing remains standing in wake of Nazi retreat.
Coastguarclsnicn Cast Ballots
Coastguardsmen at a replacement pool in the South Pacific exer
else their right to vote along with millions of American servicemen
all over the world. These men are awaiting new assignments to coast
guard fighting ships in the Pacific and will win back the Philippines
and carry fighting troops in Japan. Early reports indicate considerable
interest on the part of oversea veterans, with considerable soldier, sailor
and marine individual campaigners at work.
No Place Like Our Old Iloinc
Even when it is in ruins like this one at Scarperia, near the Gothic
line in Italy, there is no place like home. Using a shell hole in the
wall for a daor, the c;r/s'e return and lay plans on building a new
home without fear of 'jiiler Depression from the Nazi yolk as was
their lot in the past.

Gerald 1,. K. Smith, testifying be

choosing between Dewey and
Hoosevelt is like choosing between

careful, llerr Goebbels will sue him
for plagiarism. . . . Kditor and Pub

When a Nazi war prisoner died
on an American ship returning here
it was decided to bury him at sea
an hour after the black-out —when
the garbage was dumped too.
Several of the accounts in the pa
pers about the "I'nrier Cover"
author being ejected from Gerald
L. K. Smith's press conference by
jthe frightened Smith, exposed by
the author, appeared to overlook the
big point in the story. Instead of
nelittling author John Roy Carlson
for being kicked out. why didn't they
emphasize his heroism in going un
escorted right into the enemy's
booby trap?
Love Letter: "Dear W. W,"
writes correspondent Hay Josephs,
who covered South America and put
it in a new click called "Argentine
Diary." "Buenos Aires has a new
newspaper—an underground paper,
in which its big feature is a col'm
titled: "Kl Winehel do la Argentina.'
, The name was suggested when they
learned you uncovered many a raw
deal in the U. S. A.
"Practically all the dailies there
have been gagged and strait
jacketed by the gov't, so that under
ground papers have sprung up ev
erywhere. 'Winehel' gives out with
the inside stuff in back of every
move made by the Fascist chiefs at
the Casa Kosada (Argentina's pink
White House). He prints documents
suppressed by ollicialdom. tells the
facts deleted by censors and ex
poses the 00-la-la secrets of Juan
I'Vron, Mussolini imitator, and No. 1
man in Argentina. The big-shots are
going loco trying to learn where this
new 'Winehel' gets his stuff. Caught
reading him means the concentra
tion camp at Patagonia. This is your
monument in Argentina."
Our best unreliable source from
Berlin just airmailed the following
flash. It seems that Adolf and Goer
ing had a tiff, again.
Adolf spotted a new medal on
Hermann's uniform and said: "How
many times, Hermann, I told you
dot you must not vare more mot

"Oh, mein Fuehrer," whined
Goering, "diss is not a new mettle

Dinah Shore is the victim of a wild

' There will be no fanfare about it,

U. S. . . . A British officer is the
defendant. The case will be heard

Beltsville, Md., near Washington.
He recently fought a duel in Ha

paper publisher. Belt missed. The
publisher refused to fire.
Judging from the way some
gazettes pass over the crimes of
the Axis, the only way for Russia
to get treated well in the press over
here is to declare war on us.
Oh-you-Kid Dep't: There was
some comment on Cong. Clare Luce,
with one of the lads hymhing her
