example for those of MacArthur
and Eisenhower. They served as
’ the shock troops in the continu-

and human slavery. The boys of
1918 have passed Oh the torch

the boys of World War I for

British government simultaneously but independently prepar-
ed reports agreed today that Great Britain has styjpljed this
country with more than one billion dollars in reverse lend-
lease up to June 30.
The president told congress that while there is no physi-
cal standard by which lend-lease of reverse lend-lease can be
measured, the United States has received less than two bil-
lion dollars altogether, in return for nearly 14 billion dollars
spent by this country, - -

The Boy Scouts will collect oM

helping to relieve the shortage In
in paper that is becoming acute-
We hope everyone will co-op-
erate by putting out their old
paper of all sorts on their front
porches, so that the boys can
collect them in the afternoon
with a minimum of delay. Not
only will the paper help relieve
the shortage, but It will also re-
turn some money to finance ac-
tivities of individual scout
troops. Stores can co-operate in
the campaign by flattening and
saving their old corrugated box-
es. instead of sending them to
the garbage dump*. There is an
expedally acute shortage in such
material, and they will help
themselves by saving this pack-
aging material. Among those
who have set the pace in this
