Or of fundamental differences : between China, America and Britain over the peace to be imposed upon Japan after victory. At this crucial turning point in the Pacific war, Japan's military inferiority is evident. Het political position is .no less vulnerable, > Prime Minister Attlee's first statement reiterated that Britain is in the war until Japan gives up or is whipped. Adm. William PF. Halsey's attacks on the remnants of the imperial fleet at Kobe leaves Japan withowt a “fighting navy. Hence she is cut off from her overseas sources of oil, rice and iron. There are a few warships left for suicidal attacks. But there is no longer enough naval strength to fairly challenge the 3d fleet. ' The Japanese air-force “shot the works” at Okinawa and lost. In that 86-day campaign, Japan lost 4072 planes. Qualified American observers estimate her total alr strength now at from 5000 to 10,000 planes, . Against her we have 7500 bombers poised to strike and innumerable fighters to support them. Japan's wartime economic order is being destroyed by inflation, by admission of her own finance minister, Toyosaku Hirose, He has announced a steady drain of capital by an increase of issued notes apounting to one billion yen a month. Japan has been at war now for

nine years and her losses in man- |

power have beén nearly 3,000,000, The last official estimates, some months behind the bleeding of Okinawa set Japan's war losses at 2,700,000,

The longer the war goes on, the weaker Japan's potential becomes. Japan could, however, go on for A year or more on the army and the war factories and stocks of supplies left to her,

a ¢ war department says the POW’s will get the sugar from gov~ ernmenf-held stocks through an arrangement between the War Depart-

ment and the Foreign Economic Administration. This is necessary because sugar has disappeared from the stores in many localities. Other items from government sources in the POW food packages are cheese, chocolate bars, coffee, condensed milk and soap. The rationed items are to be point-free in this food package deal.

Saves Money for U.- 8, One official advanced this justification for the system: The Italian prisoners earn money on governs ment job assignments. Uncle Sam is going to have to help Italy. If POW’s are willing to spend thelr money for food packages, this country will be saved that” much money. ; The plan, suggested by the Ital-

ian ambassador, has the approval |

of, Secretary of War Stimson. It will be handled by the International Red Cross. Circulars offering nine choices of food and clothing packages have been distributed by the war department to the Italian POW’s, The clothing packages offer five choices, the food package four. Clothing selections are for men, women, boys, girls and infants. Some scarce clothing items are included, although used articles also are offered.

Two city rubbish collection trucks left a trail of glass and trash scattered in thelr wake as they careened ‘alon Eeast side streets this morning. 4 Residents from the 1000 to 1600 block on N. Bosart ave, and in the 5800 block on E. New York st. labeled today's episode “the last straw” as they rose in protest against careless rubbish collectors.

They charged that drivers overload the truck and then speed down the avenue while glass, tin cans and paper spill over into the street, Complaints Flood Office

The complaint division of the city’s collection department said there have been previous complaints but that today’s deluge was the worst “in a long time.” Another truck was dispatched to the area to clean up hubble-filled streets. . Residents of the 5800 block on E. New York st. said the collector in that area today overturned. two rubbish containers on the sidewalk instead of picking the trash up. In previous weeks so much trash has been dumped or spilled along that area that home owners have been forced to sweep up the streets before autos could be driven through, they said. :
