...THE WAR
"A powerful American force
equipped with adequate weap-
ons of modern warfare and un-
der American command, is to-
dau landing on the Mediterron-
ean' and Atlantic Coasts of the
French Colonies in Africa,"
President Roosevelt said in a
statement issued by the White
House late November 7. This ac-
tion "provides an effective sec-
ond iront assistance to our he-
roic allies in Russia."
The U. S. Force split into 3
parts and struck at Algiers,
near Oran on the Mediterran- j
ean coast of Algeria,, and on the |
Atlantic coast North and South'
of Casablanca. The War De-
partment stated late November
8 that the offensive was advan-
cing rapidly everywhere along
1,500 miles of coast against
light French resistance. Algiers
capitulated within 24 hours.
The Vichy Government broke
off diplomatic relations, but
Secretary of State Hull said the
main purpose of the Vichy pol- I
icy of government during the j
past two years was simply to
pave the way for the military

drive into the Western Medit-
erranean.
"The landing of this Ameri-
can Army is being assisted by
the British Navy and air forces
and it will, in the immediate
future, be reinforced by a con-
siderable number of divisions of
the British Army," the Presi-
dent stated. "This combined al-
lied force ... in conjunction
with the British campaign in
Egypt is designed to prevent an
occupation by the Axis armies
of any part of Northern or Wes-
tern Africa, and to deny the
aggressor nations in a starting
point from which to launch an
attack against the Atlantic
coast of the Americans.
"The French government and
the French people have been
informed of the purpose of the
expedition, and have been as-
sured that the allies seek no
territory and h&ve no intention
of interfering with the friendly
French authorities in Africa,"
the resident's statement said.
"This expedition will develop
into a major effort by the al-
lied Nations and there is every
expectation that it will be suc-
cessful in repelling the planned
German and Italian invasion of
Africa and prove the first his-
toric step to the liberation and
restoration of France."
The President told the French
people' by radio and by leaflets
that the American forces were
going into their empire as
friends, to "repulse the cruel
invaders who would remove for-
ever your rights of self-govern-
ment, your rights to religious
freedom and your rights to live
your own lives in peace and se-
curity . . . We assure you that
once the menace of Germany
and Italy is removed from you,
we shall quit your territory at
once ... Do not obstruct . .'.
this great purpose."
Lt. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhow-
er, Commander of the Ameri-
can forces in the European the-
atre, is commander in chief of
the allied invasion force. Gen.
Eisenhower, in a broadcast to
"Frenchmen of North Africa,
promised not to attack the
French themselves, upon certain"
conditions. Those conditions
were specific and he repeated
them many times in his broad-
cast.
Maj. Gen. Lewis M. Brere-
ton's headquarters in Cairo re-
ported November 7 that Amer-
ican fliers shot down 45 enemy
planes against a loss of 6 of
their o\yn in the Middle East
from October 1 to November 5.
In addition, the announcement
said, the U. S. Fliers have- ser-
iously damaged an uncalculated
number of tons of enemy ship-
ping and knocked out a num-
ber of tanks and other motor
vehicles.
The Navy announced that at
least 5,188 Japanese, by actual
count, have been killed in three
months of land fighting in the
Solomon Islands. Navy Secre-
tary Knox reported earlier that
U. S. casualties were less than
one-fifth of Japanese losses.
The Navy said 369 Japanese
aircraft were destroyed there in
October alone. A Navy commun-

Labor Supply

ported that between now and
December 1, 1943, industry will
need 4,500,000 additional work-
ers, and of this number, 3,000,-
000 will be women. The Office
of Defense Transportation said
180.000 women will get jobs in
the "traditionally male" trans-
portation industry in the com-
ing months. Agriculture Secre-
tary Wickard said that success

America's feathered and four-legged armies are very much on their toes these dajs.
Yeast vitamins used in fortifying animal feeds have done wonders in recent years to
better the quality and propagation of livestock and poultry. Did you know that the
Home of Budweiser is America's biggest single source of these vitamins?
Year after year, we have striven with rescarcli and resources to better the methods
and facilities for brewing Budweiser. To do this, a laboratory specializing in ferment-
ology and nutrition was necessary. Discoveries made in the laboratory and in the
plant have led to the development of products contributing to human necessity and
progress. Some of these products would appear to have only a remote relationship to
brewing, yet, they are the result of scientific research into many allied fields.
Endless research in making the world's leading beer
has led to other products
