LONDON EXPECTS LONG PACIFIC WAR
LONDON, Dec. 10 (U. P.).—The Ministry of Economic Warfare warned of a long war in the Pacific today and said Japan has such tremendous stocks that she can wage total war on all fronts for at least a year.
A blockade is not going to win the war, a spokesman said and it might be “four or five years” before a blockade would endanger Japan. No one should expect a sudden Japanese collapse it warned. Japan is nearing the peak of her industrial expansion, the spokesman pointed out, while the United States is just hitting its stride. He stressed that Japan still was able to divert many workers from export industries to armament manufacture.

if it likes “‘recess” at school.
Of course, it does. ‘Recess’
is an intermission . . . a pause in learning,—with play and sports to make it pleasant. It teaches us of everybody’s need for an occasional pause. There’s a simple, easy way for any busy person to have a needed moment’s recess,—it is the pause that refreshes with
ice-cold Coca-Cola.
if there were no such thing as the pause that refreshes with ice-cold Coca-Cola, it would be necessary to invent one.
People in business
and industry have
learned of its importance in adding to a moment of relaxation what relaxation always needs...the pure, wholesome refreshment of ice-cold Coca-Cola.
