HALF THE LEGS IN THE NATION. The critics of the government's foreign policy have aomthing to shout about, at last! Here we have a virtual stoppage of the import of raw silk, without regard to the welfare of half the legs in the nation. The ladies, we know, simply can not get along without silk stockings. Nobody blames the good ladies. Cer tainly, the men of the country do not. '* So it has come to pass that this nation takes a more serious con sideration of vague-rights in the Far East and the halting of aggression than it does in the appearance of the well-turned calves of America. What an issue! * . _______________1 BOMBS AND U. S. GUNBOATS " 1 Japanese bombs have been dropped upon an American gunboat, anchor ed across the river from Chungking, China. Damage was superficial and there were no casualties. The Japanese have apologised and this apparently ends the incident. In 1937 another gunboat, the Panay, was sunk on the Yangtze river by Japanese bombs which were dropped in a deliberate attack upon the American warship. The testi mony of officers and newspaper cor respondents, like Weldon James, definitely demonstrate* that the Panay attack was intentional. We do not know whether the at tack upon the Tutuila was plainly deliberate or not but the incident illustrates the danger of the Far Eastern situation and the willingness of the Japanese to take risks. A TREND IN THE WAR The trend of the war ip. Europe may be judged by the fact that Lon don had only one air alert in the month of July. It was the most peaceful month the British capital has enjoyed since the Germans began bombing the great city in August, 1940. In the months of May, June and July there were only twenty alerts and some of these were bomb free. In the meantime, the German cap ital, Berlin, has probably had more alerts and received more bombs than for any similar period in the course of the war. This is indicative of what lies, ahead of the Germans, who have yet to show that Berlin "can take it." The occupation of. much of the German airforce in Russia gives the British a distinct edge in bombing attacks and, what is more important, offers them the' opportunity of sur prising the numerical strength of the German air arm. The United States, through the production of heavy bombers, is playing a big part in bringing about this new condition, which will mark an epoch in the conflict. DEFENSE AND RURAL UNEMPLOYMENT. There was an idea once that the Government of the United States in locating asm plants for war indus tries would be able to do something tween agriculture and industry. Due no doubt to the speed required it has been almost impossible to plan the Vocation of defense industries to take adyantage at available labor the defense program will result ia ? ? .? ?. . ? some improvement of the situation.^ C.
