GRASS RANGE REVIEW Washington, D. C. BRAZIL AND U. S. OFFENSIVE Though the landings on North Af- rica were a carefully guarded mili- tary secret between high British and American officials, one other coun- try let in on the secret was Brazil. In fact, Brazil, through Foreign Minister Oswaldo Aranha did some important spade work for the United States in regard to vital Atlantic islands, the Azores and Madeiras. These lie along the route of the American supply line to North Af- rica, the Madeiras close to the Af- rican coast. Therefore, it was considered pos- sible that the Germans might at- tempt to use these islands as sub- marine or even air bases, or that the United States in turn might need the islands for emergency bases. Both island groups are Portu- guese. So, long ago, Brazil, which looks to Portugal as its mother coun- try, made informal diplomatic soundings to make sure that these islands would line up with the United Nations in case of emergency. * • • SOLOMONS vs. AFRICA One thing that got under the skin of high U. S. army officials during the weeks just before the North Af- rican landings was the navy's policy regarding the battle of the Solomon Islands. Though all the details had not been worked out, it had been def- initely agreed with Churchill and the Russians to start some kind of second front operation this summer. However, the navy also claimed that it could start the Solomon Islands campaign simultaneously without taking any ships out of the Atlantic or disturbing the Second Front prep- arations. The admirals promised the war department that the num- ber of ships used in the Solomons would be very small indeed. But before the Solomons opera- tions had lasted many weeks, the navy had used several times as many ships as it expected—some of them sent to the bottom of the Pacific. Ships were taken off the supply lines to Russia, despite def- inite promises made to Russia. Ships were also taken off the supply lines to England to such an extent that supplies to England dwindled to a driblet. • • * LESSON FROM ALEUTIANS Inside the navy it is pointed out that one of the best jobs Admiral Nimitz ever did was to let the Japs get into the tip end of the Aleutian islands. This proved to be a beau- tiful decoy, like flies to molasses. The Aleutians were too exposed for the Japs to defend safety, too near our bases. As a result, the Japs lost 10 de- stroyers—a big chunk out of any navy—and we are continuing to whittle them down with no loss to ourselves. U. S. bases are now so close to Kiska that U. S. planes bomb the Japs every day without fail—and bomb them so badly that recently no Jap fighter planes have been put in the air. Apparently they are all smashed. But in the other end of the Pacific, army strategists fear that we may have got ourselves in the same posi- tion as the Japs have in the Aleu- tians—with our necks so far stuck out that, despite current successes, we have lost more ships than the Solomons were worth. • • • TRISTMAS TRAVEL The railroads have been negotiat- ing with the schools and colleges to extend their Christmas holiday pe- riod so that it will begin before the usual Christmas home -going dates and extend beyond the usual return- ing dates. The purpose was to get rid of the school and college traffic before taking on the ,burden of the furlough movement of soldiers, go- ing home for Christmas. This longer vacation would be okay with a lot of girls and boys, but most of the schools and col- leges have turned thumbs down. They said they could not change their schedules. Result is that the American rail- roads will carry the greatest bur- den in history during the period from December 15 to January 5. The peak will come between Decem- ber 20 and 24, when the railroads will have to carry: (1) Home -going students; (2) the, usual heavy civilian Christmas trav- el; (3) soldiers on furlough; (4) sol- diers on week -end passes; (5) the normal troop movement, which will not be suspended for Christmas. So between December 15 and January 5, civilians are asked to stay off the railroads! • • • AFRICANA c s Frenchmen listening to Roose- velt's broadcast to the French peo- ple in the French language won- dered who wrote his speech. They said it contained grammatical er- rors and sounded like schoolboy composition.

Immediately after the outbreak of the world war in Europe in September, 1939, more than 500 Red Cross chapters throughout the nation began making large quantities of surgical dressings for our army and navy. In addition, a large number of dressings were made to be used by Red Cross relief organizations caring for the suffering civilian population in the war -torn countries of Europe. As the war progressed and spread to more and more nations of the world, this pro- gram of surgical dressings was gradually enlarged and extended to Red Cross chap- ters in practically every coun- ty in the United States. To- day more than 3,000 Red Cross chapters are busily en- gaged in making surgical dressings for our army and navy according to' standard specifications and methods furnished by them. More than two million women throughout the nation are now making surgical dressings for our armed forces under this program. By the end of October, 1942, they had made more than a hundred million dressings of all kinds and were embarking on a very large program for the coming year. The making of surgical dressings is a very important work in which nearly every woman can partici- pate, no matter where she is lo- cated or how little time she can spare. Many thousands of volun- teers are needed for this work and every one of the 3,350 Red Cross chapters participating in this program in nearly every county in the United States needs help. During the past month, ten mil- lion surgical dressings made by volunteers in American Red Cross workrooms were sent to Russia for Russian soldiers wounded at Stalingrad.

But this is no or- dinary winter—it is a war winter when Americans must con- serve every car and truck and tire until after victory is won. So there is a new appreciation of Weed Tire Chains which pre- vent skid accidents and help get through snow without delays. Examine your Weeds—if there are broken links have them replaced. Take chains off when no longer needed, and clean them after using; it pays. If your used chains are worn out get new Weed American Bar -Reinforced —for double mileage. Or Weed Regular, standard of value for 39 years. Look for the name \Weed.\ AMERICAN CHAIN DIVISION York, Pa.
