The greatest engineering feat In the annals of the United States army was the completion of the Stllwell
road through Burma, by Brig. Gen. Lewis A. Peck, his American engineers and thousands of native labor*
ers. Not only was the road constructed, air fields built, mountains and jungles conquered, the monsoons
defeated, raging rivers bridged, but malaria was licked in solving the problem as General Peck and his men
slaved against time, nature and the Japanese, thousands of miles from home.

EUROPE:
Postwar Pattern
1l_*
While industry is still laying: its careful plans for the day when swords may be beaten into plowshares,
the government has already put into operation its machinery of reconversion for the men discharged from
the armed forces. Thousands of young men are being discharged monthly, and many of them, like those
shown above, have resumed their studies or are receiving training for new vocations.

The Lady D’Artagnans Practice
Admiral to Senator
m
Their historic conference at Yalta
having ended in agreement, the Big
Three departed from the balmy Cri-
mean watering resort determined to
maintain equal harmony on the im-
plementation of the new course they
struck for trodden Europe, en-
visaging the return of democratic
government and obliteration of
Nazism and Fascism.
Thorniest problem in Allied rela-
tions before the conference, the
Polish question was met by U. S.
and British recognition to Russian
annexation of part of eastern
Poland, and the agreement to In-
clude independent democratic lead-
ers into the Red-sponsored pro-
visional government until the people
themselves can name their own re-
gime in a free and open election.
In respect to free elections, guar-
anteeing the people of all the liber-
ated countries the right to pick
their own governments, the Big
Three pledged their support to as-
sist any nation in measures designed
to bring about such polls.
With agreement on the vexatious
Polish problem and restoration of
democratic government in the new
PACIFIC:
Mighty Strike
To Tokyo's 8.000,000 terrified resi-
dents, it was as if the whole host of
demons themselves had swooped
from the skies; to American aviators
and sailors, it offered the supreme
satisfaction of slapping a vicious on
emy in his own backyard, and to mil-
lions of people at home, it represent-
ed the opening of the battle for Japan
itself.
Thus shaped Vice Adm. Marc A.
Mitscher's mighty strike against
Tokyo and the home island of Hon-
shu, with 1,500 Hellcats, Helldivers
and Avenger planes taking off from
about 15 to 20 carriers of the 27,000-
ton class, escorted by a formidable
Declaring that, the Hip Three's
terms for Gftfflfffly released its peo-
pic from nil mural scruples of liar-
jure, Xazi propagandists said: “Ev-
ery enemy a ill be met liy fanatical
men, women and children, who know
wliat treatment is in store for them,
and. therefore, wish to kill, murder
and ftoison all who attempt to op-
press them... ■“
Europe, the Big Three also moved
toward maintenance of such an or-
der by further discussion of steps
on a postwar international security
organization, with the talks at Yalta
designed to meet Russian objections
:o the Dumbarton Oaks plans for
prohibiting any nation charged with
aggression from voting on meas-
ures to bring it in line.
Overwhelming agreement was
reached on treatment for a defeated
Reich, with Messrs. Roosevelt,
Churchill and Stalin determined to
crush German militarism by dis-
solution of the wehrmacht, break-
up of its general staff, elimination of
all industry that could be used for
war production, and complete eradi-
cation of all Nazi and Junker influ-
ences in the nation's life.
Further, Germany would be made
to pay for war damage, with an
Allied commission set up in Moscow
determining on the extent of repara-
tions, probably in terms of man-
power and goods.
Leading daring liberation of 511
Yanks from Luzon prison camp by
Rangers who overpowered Jap guards

screen of fast battleships, cruisers
and destroyers. Though meeting
strong opposition, the aircraft shot
up enemy planes,cratered airdromes
and pulverized other military instal-
lations around the Jap capital.
While the major attack roared on,
with the once vaunted, since bat-
tered Jap imperial fleet falling to
challenge Mitscher's force riding 300
miles off of Honshu shores, other
American warships and army planes
hammered the Volcano and Bonin
islands, 600 miles to the south.
Allies Advance
With their hopes of an Allied divi-
sion blasted ot Yalta, and with the
combined weight of the U. S., Brit-
ain and Russia drawn up against
them, the Germans maneuvered in
both the west and east for a last-
ditch struggle.
In the east, so-called “alarm
units" and the “people's army”
were thrown into breaches to hold
open avenues of retreat for Germun
forces falling back from Silesia to
Saxony as the Russians drove on this
all-important Nazi Industrial dis-
trict, As the Reds pushed ahead,
one wing of this offensive nosed
northwestward toward Berlin, sore-
ly pressed by a frontal assault of
Marshal Zhukov's forces.
In the wcsl, the Germans fought
hard to thwart the Canadian and
British attempt to turn their far
northern flank, drive into the indus-
trial Ruhr and trap Nazi forces
guarding the Rhineland from the
rear.

WAR COSTS
With this war costing the world
some $200 billions a year, or more
than $500 millions a day, In direct
military expenditures alone, the an-
nual expenditure is roughly equal
to the whole direct cost of the First
World war, estimated ot $206 bil-
lions by the Oarnegie Endowment
for International Peace.
Staggering llfough these figures
are, they do hot include indirect
costs of war, such as the value of
human life lost, property destruc-
tion, etc.
WAR PRODUCTION:
Schedules Increase
With emphasis on more bombers
and engine parts, the government
increased its war contracts in re-
cent weeks, indicating that the rapid
pace of the conflict is forcing re-
adjustment of needs.
Besides the boost in the bomber
and engine parts program, it was
revealed, ground troops were sched-
uled to get 21.9 per cent more am-
munition, heavy artillery and tanks.
To meet a critical emergency of
engine parts in battle zones, the gov-
ernment has undertaken a 50 mil-
lion dollar expansion of the industry,
and established special panels, or
committees, in the seven major
plants for speeding up of output.
Labor Relations
Supplementing its previous policy
of plant seizures to back up War
Labor board rulings designed to set-
tle industrial disputes, the U. S.
drew a new weapon to force com-
pliance through cancellation of a
firm’s government contracts.
In following such a course of ac-
tion against the E. A. Laboratories
of Brooklyn, N. Y., Economic Sta-
bilization Director Vinson said that
the U. S.’s procedure was legal, in-
sofar as the courts have frequently
held that no business has an auto-
matic right to getting a government
contract.
Despite the U. S.’s power to influ-
ence compliance with WLB orders
through plant seizures and withhold-
ing of priorities, In addition to con-
tract cancellations, OES Chieftain
Vinson said that still more effective
action could be obtained through
legislation furnishing non-compli-
ance.

G.I.s Long for Civvies
Discharged G.I.s are so anxious
to get back into civilian clothes, a
survey of the Northwestern National
Life Insurance company showed,
that they want alterations on their
new suits “done in the next ten min-
utes”; they shun cheap clothing and
buy good quality suits—averaging
about $45 in price; they don’t shop
around, but go to one store and buy
as nearly a complete outfit as the
store can supply; they usually pay
cosh, even when they could "charge
it,” and they seldom shop alone.
How to
Borrow at 3 V2$
on Life Insurance
ferhaps you have wondered why you should
pay 6% interest for a policy loan, on security as
sound as life insurance. Our answer is: Borrow
from us at Z'h%, if your loan is §1500 or more;
if it exceeds $10,000, borrow at the still lower
rate of 3%. We are making such loans direct,
on the cash value of acceptable policies.
By refinancing an existing loan at this attractive
rate, you may save the difference or purchase
additional insurance. We handle all details. Write
us, giving the name of your insurance company
and amount of loan. Your inquiry is welcome.
