Liend-bease Munitions Saved A i vi r, American Liives Infes, tanks, guns and other fin- munitions constitute 68 per of all lend-lease goods sent to Allies, accord mc to Leo T. ley, Foreign Economic Adminis- Crowley points out that these pons have been the equivalent out J4 per cent of our nroduc- nd that the remainder, or 84 pnt has been retained for use by wn armed forces. ' i American people should never ight of the fact that munitions Hed for our fighting Allies en- them tb continue the war st Germany. While it is incon- le that either Great Britain or a would have given up, even ut lend-lease assistance, it is us that the munitions they re-1 J from this country enabled them I . greater war effort. rreater the effort of our fight Hies in the strfiggle against our ', es, the fewer the American j Ities in the Inarch to victory, raid not be overlooked that , British or Russian soldier, ig as the result of lend-lease lions, means that an" American , r, or sailor, is not required to lis place. This is the justifies-1 c tion. Nazis Plan Propaganda For Post-War Period The State Department says that photographic copies of German docu ments reveal a well-arranged plan to perpetuate Nazi doctrines and dom ination after the war. This unequivocal statement should be accepted iby Americans and their attitude toward post-war develop ments should be governed by the realization that the Germans will probably attempt to set up a long term program, designed to give them another chance to rule the world. It would seem impossible for us to forget this fact, but the air will be filled with rflany voices and much propaganda when Germany is defeat ed. There will be many Americans more interested in creating ill feel ing between the United States and our allies of the present struggle than in warning the people of this country against Nazi propaganda. The State Department tells 1 0f Crorman plans to rebuild economic, j rinancial and military control through renewal of pre-war cartel agree ments, to recover property seized by the Allii's at the beginning of the war, to share in all technological de velopments and to maintain a pro paganda program to soften up the Allies "through a subtle plea for fair treatment of Germans." If the people of this country fol low the example they set after the last world war, they will be persuad ed that the Germans are being harsh ly treated, that stories and revela tions about German aims are but a continuation of war-time propaganda and that the news comes from Ger many is untainted. The German strategy, ifter the war ends, will be based primarily upon an effort to divide the United States, Great Britain and Russia. Every Nazi trick will be attempted in the three countries. Consequently, in the United States we will hear much about the evil machinations of the British and Russians and, unfor tunately, there will be people in this country to fall for the yarns. It should be obvious to all Ameri cans that the peace of the world de pends upon the cooperation of the three great Allies. If the United States, Great Britain and Russia manage to work out a program that will enable them to cooperate and de velop peacefully, there is little pros pect of another world war at any Don't Neglect Them! Nature designed the kidncyi to do I marvelous job. Their task ia to keep the flowing blood stream free of an excess of toxic impurities. The act of living iltell ia constantly producing waste matter the kidneys must remove from the blood If good heath is to endure. When the kidneys fail to function as Nature intended, there is retention of waste that may cause body-wide dis tress. One may suffer nagging backache, persistent headache, attacks of dizziness, getting up nights, swelling, purRness under the eyes feel tired, nervous, all worn out. Frequent, scanty 01 burning passages are sometimes further evidence of kid ney or bladder disturbance. The recognized and proper treatment ia a diuretic medicine to help the kidneys get rid of excess poisonous body waste. Use Doan'i Pills. They have had more than forty years of public approval.

If the three powers fail to main tain the friendship, forged under the threat of German domination, there is no scheme available, or tq be de vised by the mind of man, that will prevent the outbreak of another ti tanic war. Both Houses Investigate Domestic Meat Shortage With both the House and the Sen ate conducting investigations into the food situation, it ought to be possible for an impartial inquiry to establish some facts. There are a number of stories go ing around about the meat situation. Despite the shortage in meat shops, packers admit that 80,000,000 head of cattle are in the country, which is pretty near an all-time high. Packers say that they cannot buy and sell livestock at controlled prices "without losing money." OPA officials bluntly deny that the packers are losing and assert that they made about seven times the' re turn they made in pre-war years. Profits have increased in hogs, ac cording to the OPA, while declining on beef cattle. Moreover, the OPA says it has expended about $170, 000,000 in subsidies to packers, with most of the money going to beef cattle packers. Other facts, or assertions, include tne statement that Canada has sur- plus meat, with much of it going to Great Britain but some left to share with the United States. It is said that Argentina has considerable quantities of canned meat, hut it does not get into the United States. While the packers charge that OPA price policies are forcing them to choose between "going black or going broke," James Brownlee, dep uty price administrator, points to high profits by the packers, the num- I OP A useOUO CbW Preparation a-dW4 Eimntl I 2(g I 9 America demands the utmost in farm output to win the 1 1 war.

It is hard for people to know the truth in the midst of such "conflicting assertions. Of course, it is realized that the owners of cattle are interest ed in higher prices and that packers are, quite naturally, interested in profits. The OPA is supposed to be interested in controlling prices and preventing inflation in the cost of living. When conflicting statements are made by cattlemen, packers and OPA officials, the presumption of the aver age citizen will be that the OPA is correct. The burden of proof, so far as public opinion is concerned, is up on the cattle raisers and the packers to prove their case. With two investigations now go ing on, they have their chance.

Usually the edges of fields bordering wood land are unproductive, due to root competition from trees. A strip of shrub Iespedeza or parallel strips oi shrub and sericea Iespedeza in this border will keep bushes and briars from growing next to the crops and at the same time favor the develop ment of desirable species of wild life. Shrub Iespedeza will provide ex cellent food and good cover for quail when grown thick enough to shade out other plants. Sericea is a poor food but serves well' as a cover, pre vents erosion and can be cut for hay. The Albemarle Soil Conservation district furnished the shrub Iespedeza seed and the North Carolina Depart ment of Conservation and Develop ment furnished the sericea Iespedeza seed for the wildlife borders on the two farms mentioned.
