CHERRY Publisher OUR SECRET WEAPON RESOURCES FOR WAR AND PEACE Weve heard a lot about secret When the in this war. fighting started with the attack on Poland, no one knew quite what to expect. Strange guns, tanks, planes many people thought that these and more suddenly might be produced. When nothing like that happened, people learned to discount the talk as foreign propaganda. Now comes word that America has an important secret weapon of its own. At least, thats what a member of the War Production board said in a speech the other day. That weas invenpon is Americas tive genius. And to date in this war it has produced not one secret weapon, but many.

Coal is one of the piincipal sources of industrial energy the energy that makes its possible to turn out weapons on a scale never before imagined by the mind of man. And oil is the Number 1 necessity in modern war. Experts say that it was largely lesponsible for winning the last war for the Allies and that it will this time. Iiut this isnt all there is to the stories of oil and coal. For both of these resources are making possible new industries of revolutionary significance. Synthetic rubber is a case in point.

EVERYBODYS WAR This is everybodys war and everybody tnust help finance it. That is the gist of a recent statement by Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau in which he pointed to the need for increased purchases by individuals of United States Savings Bonds. During the next year, said the secretary, the nation will probably have to borrow upwards of $35,000,000,000. And then he made this pertinent observation: If the government is compelled to go to the commercial banks for the bulk of those funds, the result will be to increase inflationary tendencies which are already serious. When bonds are purchased with savings out of current income, on the National Distiller THE I RITIS OF HOARDING news dispatch tells of a man wh registered for a sugar ration book and n potted that he had L,000 pounds of sugar in his possession. When questioned, he said that he had feared a shortage two yeais ago and had been accumulating his gigantic stock ever since.

Some authorities have said that there would he no need for sugar i at this time had not purchases the public increased to nn nbnoi mal by level. American meiehants have hei n fighting hoarding. They have been urging he public to buy noi mally, an to pay no attention to wild i unions which say that practically everything we need will soon be unobtainable. That advice is 100 per cent woitli-- ' while. If all of us follow it, there will be far fewer shortages, and can be held to the minimum.

The result is to foster increased interest in a commodity on which 000 Americans depend for all their livelihood and millions of others depend for part of their livelihood. The idea wasnt simply to stir up interest in cotton during a single week. It was to keep that interest going in the future and so encourage the consumer to buy cotton in many forms.
