FRIDAY, MARCH 26, 1943 HOLD FAST TO THESE BLESS INGS: I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, nd ye have overcome the wicked one. I John 2:14. Plant a Victory Garden James C. Patton, president of the National Farmers Union, suggests that the government invest one bil lion dollars in productive facilities for farmers now producing less than ca pacity because of lack of capital. He warns that the Nation faces acute (hunger unless Congress acts quickly to set up a food policy de signed to make full use of the "pro ductive facilities of 4,000,000 ineffi cient farmen. It all adds up to the wisdom of planting your own Victory Garden. If there results a shortage of food supplies, as many farm leaders fore cast, the family that has grown something to eat in 1943 will be sit ting pretty. How About The Red Cross? The Red Cross campaign to raise funds for the support of its war work is almost over in point of time. Many Americans have overlooked this important phase of war support. The goal set by the Red Cross was very modest, compared with sums raised during the first World War. It is, of course, only a beginning. If tht war lasts well into 194 the Red Cross will need many additional mil lions of dollars and it ought to get them without trouble from the American people. So, if you have not yet contributed to this fund, designed to enable the Red Cross to serve our fighting men, get busy at once. Do not wait for a campaign solicitor to see you; get in touch with the Red Cross representa tive closest to you and give as liber ally as you can afford to. How You Can Support The War Income tax payments on Marcn fifteenth were reduced by the wide qfpread impression that some Con gressional magic would make it un necessary for many citizens to pay their income taxes. Be this as it may the Treasury Department will ask the banks, busi ness houses and people of this coun try for a loan of thirteen billion dol lars next month. Following closely upon the $12, . 000,000,000 borrowed in December Vthe(Aew loan indicates that every citi zen' will have a chance to participate ;h (he war. While no man's dollar ' will kill an enemy of this country, money will provide the weapons to protect our fighting men and enable them to do their stuff at minimum risk. There is no use for us to fool our selves. The war is a costly enter prise and loyal Americans will lib erally share their funds with the government, even if they cannot get to the firing line. Battle For Tunisia American drives along the road toward Gabes, with Gafsa falling un defended to them on the way, and reports of attacks by General Mont gomery's Eighth Army against the Mareth Line, add up to the probab ility that a major assault on General Rommel's position in Tunisia is now I Want Information On The WAVES .in its initial stages. It is possible that the reports of action against the Mareth Line are Nazi feelers. They are not confirmed by General Mont gomery, but his silence does not dis credit them because he is a General noted for doing first and talking afterward. Preparations for a big assault at the end of the rainy season and that means now have been under way for a long time, the only notable interruption being the successful at tack by General Rommel against American positions last month. This has resulted in a shake-up in the American command, to displace Gen eral Fredendall with the lusty, color ful General Patton, after frank dis closures of weaknesses in the Ameri can intelligence service. The swift advance under General Patton is just the sort of thing re quired to inspire confidence in his leadership and enthusiasm among his soldiers. It does not, however, pres age an easy fight. It indicates rather that General Rommel has pre pared strong positions elsewhere which may loom up against American forces when these have lengthened their supply lines and lost some of their momentum. As the United Nations forces move in on the fox in his Tunisia lair they must be prepared to meet a concen tration of defensive and offensive power stored up there during many months by the Nazis. A momentous battle seems to be shaping up, with consequences that could advance or postpone the date for invasion of the Continent from the south. Christian Science Monitor.
