winter. The Americans are not taken in by this, however, as they remember recent boast- ing claims by the German radio.
Until a week ago, the Nazis were trying to convince everyone that they had lots of food tucked away without having to touch their neighbours, whose supplies would, ac- cordingly, be available for their own use.
The Bremen radio spoke of large supplies of butter and of in- ereases in butter and sugar ra- tions.
Hitler told the Reichstag that food supplies were assured no matter how long the war lasted.
There was no hint in all this that this meant a shortage for the rest of Europe. Yet only a few Jays ago, the German radio an- nounced that Germany was not going to feel hungry but that it would be asking too much for her; to make arrangements for those countries "used for attacks. on Germany,"

**Immediate service," as the new scheme is called, does not mean that the waiting period will be any longer. The men will be do- ing work which would be very useful in an invasion.
