Service, 1343 II Street, N.W., Washington, D. C. In a hospital in an American city one of the great women of the world is tying under treatment for serious but not critical trouble. The doctors have said assuringly that the trouble is not dangerous, that will soon Madame Chiang be well. Several million Chinese are waiting anxiously for her recovery. Although thP matter hat not been formally discussed as yet, it can safely be predicted that when recovers Madame Chiang and she takes the house she has rented In Washington, her mission wtll not be secret long. According to hints dropped In reliable quarters, this mission is to obtain a definite showdown on immediate aid to China in the form of an Allied offensive against Japan. The offensive must be made up of a shuddering and shattering air attack on the heart of the Nipponese empire on Tokyo, on Yokohama, on barbori and cities, on factories and templed hills. At the lame time a huge Chinese army, well equipped with supplies from America and India, must be ready to advance for Invasion. It is explained that Japan is preparing for a knockout blow against China. Its objective is not to control the whole of Chinese territory, but to strike northward from Thailand and Burma; to take Chungking and isolate the Chinese armies which are not destroyed; or permanently to cut these armies off from ail aid from the Allies by blocking off the approach from the Indian border, along the frontiers of Burma and Thailand and the eastern coast, which they already hold. The Japanese would also encourage and aid the formation of a large communist state in China in order to further add to the confusion of the political situation which the invasion would serve to bring about This the Chinese believe Japan could do unless aid from the Allies comes first Military observers here agree that It would not be impossible for Japan to accomplish this. As nearly as I am able to gauge opinion here, the course that the United Nations strategy will probably follow is this: A real offensive against Japan by the spring at least; the strong probability of another front to be opened somewhere else The United States before then. has a million men in its armed forces outside the borders of the United States now. It will have more before long. WN'U FRUfT-bsa- IS. j bout tint AU FEED GRAINS itm Kai-she- k CORN is.)

In some rates, production may be greater. Thus, the farmer is out to get more meat, dairy and poultry prod-ucthides and About tha same production of fresh vegetables for consumption and processing, of dry besns and dry peas and potatoes, sugar and rice. Almost the same production, pasture and forage crops. More fiber flax, hemp, long staple cotton and about the same production of other cotton and tobacco. To get more of these crops, the farmer know that he must plant lest of others. Wheat la an outstanding example. We have enough on hand to take care of normal needa for two years without raising another grain. It would be virtual sabotage to put more land Even- (AAA) tually, goals will be set for each farm, with the producer signing voluntary production contract." A contract which. In effect. Is a pledge to the nation that he'll keep food and fiber rolling to ell fronts, at home and abroad. Broadly, food and fiber goals In pro1943 call for the tame over-al- t duction total that farmer achieved thia year when their effort resulted in an production high 13 per cent greater than that of any prevloua year In American history! Just what doci that 12 per cent gain represent? It represent a gain in produeUon which la more than twice that achieved during the period covering World War L It Is by far the greatest production gain that has ever been made In a aingle year by American agriculture. That gives one a rough Idea of are up farmer what America' against in 1943. Besides wartime obstacles which will grow to proportions, farmer must assume that theyre going to have normal weather next year, another way of saying bad weather compared with this year when growing conditions were better than they've been in years. That means lower yields. The difference will have to be made up by more efficient farming, by more intensive farming, by planting crops where they'll grow best, by vigorous, unremitting effort on the part of all civilians to help farmers get labor, equipment and materials. Waste Must Go. The farmers objective in the Battle for Food, 1943, will be to reach each goal without wasting an ounce of effort, a minute of time, an acre of land, or a sliver of material and machinery. Only by doing this can he reach one goal without jeopardizing his chances of reaching another. He must face the fact that there arent enough land resources in America for much acreage expansion. He must apply the principle of selective service to his acres. For example, he knows that only about seven million acres of land can be added to the 1942 figure of 340 million acres put to row crops, small grains and hay crops. But he also knows that he can make that added acreage count for more by putting It to war crops which bring higher yields than crops he would normally plant By wise expansion of this sort, by shifting other acres to crops that count most, it will be possible to get feed-grai- e five-ye- ever-great- er BEEF CATTLE.

Vilamlns and Victory During the dark days of 1940 at England, British doctors noticed that superficial scratches which should have healed In a day or two were taking two weeks to heal They found that a lack of vitamins In people's blond was the cause. There's a direct connection between vitamins and victory. largely by the kind and quantity of food they eat. Take tha figures on comparative days lost by strikes and sickness In 1941. About 20 times as many s were lost by sickness as by strikes in that year. And the most prevalent illness was the common cold which, doctors say, can be best prevented by a good diet Good food is the equivalent of millions of laborers. The British, for example, have pointed out that production is 13 to 20 per cent greater when their workers are eating as they should. Vitamin B curbs nervousness and digestive troubles; vitamin C wards off scurvy, bad teeth and many similar ailments. Scurvy was an important factor in the internal breakdown in Germany in 1918. That Hitler knows this is only too evident from the way he is bleeding the occupied countries of Europe. Scurvy has been responsible for more deaths than all the weapons of war combined. Food for good diets is not the only thing the farmer is after as he sets out to meet 1943 goals. He wants fibers and oils and other crops which are vital to the maintenance of our war industries. In 1942 farmers raised enough soybeans, flaxseed, peanuts and cottonseed to produce 330 million gallons of vegetable oil 54 per cent more than in 1941. Our Allies are asking for five times as much vegetable oil as we normally export to all nations. Next years vegetable oil goal calls for about as much as the record 1942 production. H farmers meet the test, the resulting geysers will literally drown the Axis. For vegetable oils are the source of glycerine used in explosives; they are used in protective paints for battleships, planes and other war machines; and they have a thousand Industrial uses to say nothing of their nse in fods and cooking. Suffice to say the farm job in 1943 to farmers and is civilians alike. Perhaps the greatest obstacle will be lack of help on the farm. Fortunately, it is in overcoming this obstacle that civilians can do most to help the farmer. This year, townspeople, school children, professional men and women, college youth and men from army camps achieved miracles on harvest fields throughout the nation. Even British sailors pitched in to help harvest our bountiful food and fiber supplies. Next year the job will be much tougher. The department of agriculture estimates that the nation could use 1V4 million more fulltime workers than there are in sight to do the job. The department has thrown every one of its agencies into the farm labor fight, and it is receiving valuable assistance from other agencies of the government. However, it is going to take the continuing efforts of civilians and others to fill the gap. and Through such sheer hard work on his part the farmer will get his job done. erf la determined man-day- Kai-she- k all-o- Russia's Role In War and Peace Recently ments. It may be a picture colored with the tints of wishful thought, but I present it for what it is worth. The Russians will not quit until the last dog (their version of the invader) is hung. After the peace in establishing they will the kind of a peace which the United States would like to see established. Several reasons are offered as to why many experts utterly misjudged the power of the Red armies. One explanation is that the offensive strength of the Germans was y The next explanation is that the Russian, traditionally, will fight an invader with fatalistic fury, provided he is armed. Although both of these statements are accepted as sound, another explanation is offered. It has to do with the reason why the Russian army was able to put up its remarkable resistance and develop a powerful striking power how the traditional fury was stimulated. This is my informants interpretation, a part of which is not new, but which offers the basis of his prediction as to the future conduct of ' Russia.

And there is hemp. War has cut usual off most of the nations fiber sources. For a time, the navy faced serious shortages in cables, cordage, hawsers and the like. Fiber was also essential to the home front, and badly needed by the army, maritime commision, and for lend-leas- e. Farmers have revived hemp fiber industry that had all but disappeared. It has taker a year this year to get undei way because we had no seed. However, farmers have exceeded their 1942 goal of 350,000 bushels of hemp seed. The seed acquired, emphasis in 1943 will turn to production of actu The result? a al hemp fiber. It is estimated that total production of fiber will be 30 times that of 1942. Most of the fiber will be planted in four states Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois and Kentucky. Cotton has thousands of war uses. One type of army plane has in its wings, tail and fuselage some 650 square feet of cotton linen. The list could be extended indefinitely, not only for cotton but for many other farm crops.

And the various plans had awakened a hope in the people that this regime would give them a lot of the things that they' began to find out other nations had. They were, therefore, fighting to realize the hope that they would get the things which the regime, in which they had faith, had promised them and a part of which they had already realized. Now comes the next step. There has grown up, with the blessing of the Stalin regime, a great respect for many things about America as a country with whose help the Russian can obtain the things which he hopes for and which he knows the Americans possess. Therefore, Russia's aim is to help the Allies win the war and also help with the peace with the expectancy that in return America will help Russia to realize its hopes. That is the way my informant tells the story and, I might add, that is the way America hopes history will one day record it. Questionnaires sWhat are you doing? asked the sergeant.
