ring in the Philippines under General
MacArthur? Are they on the job only
forty hours a week and do they get
time and a half for overtime and
double time for holidays and Sun
days? The trouble with us is that we do
not comprehend that we are at war.
Let it be hoped that we wake up be
fore we are waked up by Butler's
heel in our faces, or Hirohito's foot
on our necks 1 That thing is far from
impossible. Jja. fact, we are heading
straight for it, though we do not
dream it nor di,di we dream that the
Japs could sneak up on us and knock
the daylights out of us at Pearl Har
Dor.
Those JaDS are smart: thnv lrnntv
how to fight and they . have the
things to fight with; and they are KO
plagued little they are hard to hit:
HERE IS ANOTHER POINT
Why is it that a man with hia chin
pulled back, his chest stuck out and
his stomach held in looks dominant?
The answer is that the very act of
pulling back the chin, sticking out
the chest and holding in the stomach
makes a man feel .dominant. There is
something masterful about the mili
tary posture which impresses those
who hold it and those who behold it.
BEYOND IMAGINATION
A soldier boy writes to us from the
Pacific coast, "I might be able to
imagine myself under the heel of
Hitler, but I'll be doggoned if I can
visualize myself with a Jap's foot
on my neck."
What is worrying some folks is
that while we are actually losing this
war, and when our only hope of win
ning it lies in all-out .production of
planes, tanks, guns and ships, we
still have a forty-hour workweek in
our war industries. If we have men
work more than forty hours a week
making the things our fighting men
must have to fight with, we are re
quired to pay those men time and a
half for each additional hour they
work, and double time when they
work on holidays and Sundays.
How about our boys who are fight- 1 tlement of lend-lease costs. The pact

to consider suggestions "from all
quarters" for increased production.
The rresident in a radio address,
said, "We Americans have been com
pelled to yield ground, but we will
regain it oon. Wa and not our ene
mies will have the offensive; we, not
they, will win the final battles; and
we, not they, will make the final
peace. Actually we are taking a heavy
toll of the enemy every day that goes

Mr. Roosevelt said, "Germany,
Italy and Japan are very close to
their maximum output of planes,
guns, tanks and ships. The United
Nations are not especially the U
nited States of America." He asked
Americans not to stop work "for a
Bingle day until the war is won"
not to demand special privileges for
any one group, and to give up con
veniences cheerfully when necessary.
FOREIGN RELATIONS
Under Secretary of State Welles
announced two agreements signed
with Brazil to strengthen solidarity
and to provide lend-lease aid to Bra

THE WAR FRONT
The Navy reported U. S. Naval
forces sunk 53 enemy ships between;
December 10, 1941 and February 24,
1942, probably sank seven more and
damaged five additional. The Army
announced from December 7 to Feb
ruary 27, it probably sank at least
19 Japanese ships, seriously damaged
31 others and shot down 245 enemy
planes not including 165 Japanese
planes shot down by the American
Volunteer Group serving in the Chi
nese Army. The Navy said in the
first two months of this vear 116
ships of United Nations registry

ARMY
Congress completed action on the
new 32 billion dollar appropriation
bill, providing more than 23 billion
for the Army, five billion dollars for
lend-lease, and the remainder for ex
pansion of the Merchant Marine. The
President by Executive Order reor
ganized the Army to. speed up and
coordinate military action. The Pre
sident set up three basic units under
the Army Chief of Staff, for Ground"
forces, Air forces, and "Services of
Supply" each with its own com
manding general.
The House passed Legislation in
creasing from one month to one year
the payment to dependents of the
salaries of members of the armed
forces captured by the enemy.
ine Legislation would also increase
the pay of officers and men serving
outside continental U. S. by from 10
to 20 percent. The President estab
lished the Army specialist Corps, a
unit of uniformed civilian employees
who may be appointed to War De
partment positions regardless of
Civil Service status. War Secretary
Stimson announced soldiers are no
longer required to obtain permission
before they can be married. He said
men with dependents may enlist or
reenlist if they sign a statement that
their .dependents have sufficient means
of outside support.

State College. "They donttwant lard,
when they buy pork," he 'declared.
The desirable type of nog to pro
duce now, as always, Prof. -Hostet-ler
said, is a fast-growing, easy-feeding,
prolific type that will yield
desirable cuts of pork at live weights
from 200 to 240 pounds. To produce
such a hog requires proper feeding,
including adequate amounts of pro
tein to build muscle and lean meat,
and to aid growth.
"Because swine are fed chiefly on
grain, which tends to produce fat,
particular care is needed to provide
sufficient protein of the right quali
ty in their ration," the State College
leader advised. "Important as they
are in hog rations, none of the cereal
grains furnish protein of good quali
ty. It is necessary to use efficient
protein supplements."
Prof. Hostetler ..pointed aub-'tnat
