HEALTHFUL TOKENS
Italian tokens won’t poison you. we vyete sited to learn 1mm
a release sent out by the Office of Price AdminUti ation.
I ntil receiving that release we hadn’t given any thought
to the possibility that tokens might be dangerous to health.
But it seems that the U. S. Public Health Service has been
making a series of tests on this subject which ha/e convinced
them that the token materials, "which are chemically inert
Mnder normal conditions" are non-toxic, turn-poisonous and
"not detrimental to the public health and weltaie.
We could not find out from the release whether it is sale
to let the baby chew on them, but we did lin’d that they do
not lose color even if Soaked in water for long periods o!
time. So, from the standpoint of what the dyes might do to
the human system, there seem- to be little danger that they
might come off.
The conclusions of Ol’A make token- sound so delectable
that anyone reading: the release might feel that they should
he eaten direct rather than -used for the put chase ot food.
The only omission seems to la that there is no mention ot
their having a vitamin content.
JArANtat buuuu
11' wars could be won entiiejy by dollars expended, the
Japanese budget t'oi 1P44 would be comforting to all Ameri
cans. For in spite of the fact that’the Japanese budget culls
for «rt per cent of the total income of that country to he spent
for war. the total is only 60.000,000.000 yen. or approxi
mately $1 t.sOiMiOn.nOO.
Although that is a tiemendojas amount toi a ■ ountry the
size of Japan to be spending when we compare it with our
own budget of * 100,000.000.000 it doesn't look like much.
It is doubtful, however, if any comparison can accurately
lie made of what armaments Japan can get with tier Id billion
ax against ourlOO billion. Our costs loi labor and mate! inis
are undoubtedly many times a~ great as Japan'. On the
other hand. our up-to-date manufacturing equipment may
more than offset those differences.
With so main possible things to consider, the dollai figure
becomes useless as a measuie ol production. lint the most
encoir Ring factor about the Japanese expenditure is that, it
•Japan is pouring* k0 per cent ol its total income into war. that
nation cannot afford to continue the wai for an indefinite
period. Japanese leaders sometimes talk ol trying to win the
war by making* it last as long as possible, hut the figures
would indicate that Japan would suffei more than we would
intcrnulh if the war is prolonged.
OBJECTIVE NUMBER ONE
Military requirements wil. IhUO nearly lil'ty pei cnn 1,1

tionably civilian gasoline consumption will he c r drastically
under normal needs* It is tc the credit ol the oil industiy
that everythin;: possible is being done to ea-e the civilian pe
troleum problem .vhile contir uing to meet every need of the
aimed forces. William K. 1'. yd, Jr., cb.m man of the I’e
troieum Industry War Council, recently reviewed some of the
accomplishments of the petroleum industry in IlM'i. They
included: (II The ■ drilling' of r.'pproximately lS.ri.'nl new wells
for oil and gas. of which about la,anil were development wells
and about ;!,4f>0 wore exploration wells which it 'tie discovery
late of the lirst 10 months continued to the end of the "ear.
probably imeovered something over fdid new sources of oil.
<2l The construction and completion of two •‘Big Inch" pipe
lines from Texas to New York and 14 lesser but none the less
important pipe line pi ejects to aid oil 11 ansporta' ion. () The
completion or near completi <i of 72 new plants ‘or the pro
duction of 100 octane and other military gasolines, lubricants,
and explosives, and for the production of butadiene for syn
thetic rubber. In a few months 122 of these vast new plants
will be supplying more than 10 times the amount of loo octane
gasoline that was available at the time of Pearl Harbor, (4 1
The adjustment of industry operations so as to do more and
make more with less manpower and fewer materials.
The petroleum industry did these things despite the fact
that the price of crude oil was inadequate to achieve maximum
exploration for new reseiVes and maximum recovery from
known reserves. The demand of war for maximum oil pro
duction require that costs and prices be brought more nearly
in line with 1 f»44. This should be. the immediate objective of
the price regulators.
WILLING TO DIE—FOR WHAT?
A news release from Pearl llarhor telling of Hu* attack on
the Marshall Islands, said: “ The troops must make land
ings through machine gun and artillery fire, must secure the
beachheads and push forward, often yard by yard It will be
willingness to die which will capture the Marshalls
A news release from Deficit of approximately the same
dateline reported that: “A sit-down of mote than 1,000 work
ers in support of demands foi a 10-cent ait hour wage in
crease threatened production in the Ford Willow Run bom
ber plant.”
A news release from Edgewau-r Reach, New .lersey, also
of the same approxihate dfft«. gave an account of how two
union men had been expelled iiont the union for conduct
“unbecoming to union men." Their offense was testing 22
to 24 trucks a day instead of the union decreed average of 10
or 12.

a long sought goal in the aviation
industry. In Miami, Kla., the
