Nazi Housewives Learn More Hints On Saving Think you’re having a tough time with rationing and scarce commodities? Listen to what they are doing on "the other side” of the war—one reason why our side will come out on top! Although the Nazi soldier at the front may be well fed and supplied, his wife at home is feeling the pinch of this sixth year at war. Each day the German newspapers print hints and orders on how to save more. From the Office of War Information we learr. a few of them:

Washing Clothes I, “Soap can be saved by adding a small quantity of ivy leaves to the water when washing clothing, stockings, and gloves.” Recently the housewives were told that if they did not turn in more meat and fish bones, from which the ersatz soap is made, their meager soap rations would be cut further.

Clothes “Women armament workers are not entitled to work clothes. They are urged to make overalls and aprons out of window curtains.” And only such clothing repairs as take a little time and material may be made. “A piece of cloth eight-tenths of a square meter large, for repair purposes, may be purchased once every three months.” But this does not include any woolen or even partwool fabrics.

Home Healing “Whoever can collect branches, tree stumps, and cones for heating should do so. Loose weeds should be used to a great extent as household fuel.” Bathing Because of the critical gas shortage, Germans are ordered to take showers instead of tub baths. In Konstanz the r*iyor recently de-

creed the sealing of all hot water boilers. Cooking The gas shortage is also seen in orders for cooking. “When making coffee and tea, use only lukewarm water. Meats that take long cooking should not be used in order to conserve gas.” Well, things are a little rosier on this side, aren’t 'they! —Productioneer.

QUASHING Hirohito’s dream of great empire will not finish the United States’ job in the Orient. Chinese, 450 million of them, already are holding out imploring hands toward America. Most of them don't know what they need but this fact only tightens our obligation because we do know what's good for them. They need alow, regular feedings of the diet on which America grew strong. On a diet of Christianity, encouragement for initiative, free enterprise and protection for investments, America grew in 150 years from 13 rustic colonies to be the world’s most powerful nation. China has had none of it. Since the year One China has had everything but a chance, so it had nothing. Fertile soil, timber, iron, coal, oil and manpower, China has had. But China stayed poor. ' China’s FAR-SIGHTED leaders Chance in China are frankly bidding for capital investments from other countries when the war is over. It is America’s invitation; no other bife country will havp capital at the end of the war. Will China be a good place for Americans to invest money in the post-war years? Will it be a good frontier for adventurous young Americans to enter as industrial pioneers? v ~\ Both these questions have the 'same answer. China offers opportunity only if investments will be safe there after the war. Less than ten years ago when I lived there nobody, except in a few favored spots, dared to own a paying business. If local warlords didn’t confiscate such enter-

prises, bandits would plunder them. Ohiang Kai-shek will remedy this, I trust, if he can enjoy

united cooperation from his present allies. A Huge DEVELOPMENTS that Market take place in China in 25 years of private enterprise are staggering to think about. China’s population is three times ours. China has one billion dollars invested in industry, we have 130 billion. America’s capital investment is S6OO per person; China’s is $2.50. Chinese still farm with hoes while their soldiers fight with Amer-ican-made guns. Some short-sighted person is almost certain- to ask: “Why should we help industrialize China, teach them how to build wealth and beat us at our own game?” The idea is silly. We will prosper with China. Prosperous customers always help. For instance, there are 130 million people in the lands south of El Paso. Not one-tenth as many live in industrialized Canada. But Canada buys approximately as much from us. China needs 25,000 locomotives, 20 million tractors and other items in proportion. China also has valuable things to trade for America's goods. It would take 390 billion dollars to make her vast interior like the United States industrially, but nine billion would bring her up to about our horse-and-buggy days. After that she could finance herself. If we can help Chiang Kai-shek to stabilize China politically there is little doubt the cash would be available. /
