President Roosevelt is studying a plan of Economic Warfare aimed at the
Achilles Of The
By EVERETT HOLLES
United Press Cablo Editor
WASHINGTON, March 12 (UP).-President Roosevelt and his advisers are studying a vast and costly plan of economic warfare against the Axis powers to strike at what they believe to be Ger- many's "Achilles' 'heel" and perhaps open the way for a British offensive on the continent.
The plan involves na- tions on four continents and, it is believed by re- liable Washington obser- vers, will be put up to: Congress now the lend- and-lease proposals are adopted.
The United States would throw its vast resources, money and prestige into the scales augmenting Britain's Axis blockade- in an effort to break down the German war machine through preventing vital supplies of oil, copper, cot- ton and minerals from flowing into the Reich,
At the outset of the con- flict it was believed that the British could win by a continued stalemate, such as existed when I accom- -panied Under-Secretary of State Sumner Welles' on his "fact finding" tour of Europe for President Roosevelt a year ago.
But Hitler's blitzkrieg con- quests last May and June shattered that theory.
British Blockade
The British blockade can punch holes in the German war effort still, along with constant British bombings, but it is realised in Washing- ton that Birtain can achieve a clear-cut victory only by force of arms at sea and in the air and finally on land.
Constant British bombings of Germany's vital centres of industry, power and transport. combined with the blockade, may weaken Germany but it is recognised both in Washing- ton and London' that in the end Hitler must be driven from the countries he has oc- cupied if the victory is to be Britain's.
Advices from Britain in- diente the United States must help to tighten the blockade as urgently as it must provide Britain ean carry the arms-if the day arrives when

war.
Transportation Britain believes transpor- tation is, perhaps the most

vulnérable piece of armour in the German war equipment, more acute than ever since Hitler's lines of communica- tion stretch from the Arctic circle to the Mediterranean and the Black sea..
Thus Germany's crying need is said to be oil and the United States can go far to aggravate this need.
The British estimate that Germany is able to obtain about 11,000,000 tons of oil annually against a need of at least 15,000,000 tons, even after ruthless rationing. This available amount is said to in- clude about 6,500,000 tons of Rumanian oil, plus Germany's synthetic output. The British contend virtually no Russian- produced oil is reaching the Reich because the Soviet needs all it can refine.
Oil Supplies
Still, Rusala is shipping some oil to Germany through Rumania and the Danube route and British Minister of Shipping Hugh Dalton public- ly has announced Britain's

"suspicion" that United States fuel is feeding Hitler's tanks and armoured vehicles.
MAY WE GO,
During 1940 the United States exported to Russia about $110,000,000 in goods, including 1,300,000 barrels of. oil, most of it shipped across the Pacific to Vladivostok in American tankers. Although there is reason to believe vast amounts of the United States exports finally appeared in the form of guns, tanks and shella for Germany, the United 'States has been wary of cut- ting these shipments by em- bargo because of Russia's un- certain foreign policy.
As long as there remains a scant possibility of clash on German and Russian relations and so long as Russia serves as a restraining influence upon Japanese moves, Washington is reluctant to take any-nction. The State Department has no illusions that Stalin might join Britain against Hitler,. everything possible is be- ing done to keep him from go- ing over to Germany's side completely.

There's a Little Job for Everybody
HE Lad from the Elephant and Castle comes Into the hut with a shocked expression on his face- the dazed, frozen expression of a man whose best friend has suddenly hit him in anger-and Boys:--
"You'll never guess what.” We ask him, “What?” "You'll never guess," says the Lad from the Elephant. "Not in twenty million years."
"What is it?"
"And some people,” says the Lad, "say Join the Anny and see the world! Join the Army and Scrub the ruddy world, I say: Join the Army and peel the ruddy world. Join the Army and polish the ruddy world!"
"But what is it?"
KO
The Lod from the Elephant says: "Go and look at the Delal},"
Some of us out. Company notices are pinned in a frame out- side the Company Office-daily orders which every man has to read.
We look. We read. It is fate: It is written:
ALL MEN No. 55 HUT..
POTATO PEELING.
The Lad, who has come to have another look-for he cannot bo- lleve the evidenco of his eyes anys: "Fatigues! We ret fati- guest"
*
The Orderly Sergeant, who is standing near us, with his book and his bicycle, says: "What do you expect? Toffee-apples and a trip to the Zoo?"
"We done enough fatigues before we.come 'cre," says the Lad.
The Sergeant replies: "What do you mean, enough fatigues? Why, you horrible man you never have enough fatigues in the Army."
"Spud-bashingt" says the Lad, "You're idle," asserts the. Ser- geant, "that's what you are-Idle..
You want to be waited on hand and foot-that's want you want. You're a grouser; you sprend alarm and despondency."
"I come 'ere to fight," says the Lad.
"You'll fight when you're told to Aght," says the Sergeant.
M
The Good Boy from Godalming asks: "Will we get a lot of fatigues here, Sergeant?"
"You'll get your share. Every- body docs. We don't have ser vants here,
"First of all, your hut's got to be spotless. There's a room Inspection every morning. So each man has to do his little job. Everybody puis his own bit straight,, dusis his bed. "And sweeps under it.
Then one man sweeps all the dirt up; another carries it to the dump and sorts out the waste paper; another cleans the coal box; another refills the fire buckets; an- other polishes busins.
"Another scrubs the benches; an- other has to see that the brushes and brooms are clean; another puts the kit-bags in a straight line-and
30 on.
"There's a little job for every- body. You muck in, in this army.
"Su remember, Smartie, that you're in the Army now, and do things for yourselves. I've done fatigues; Die Company Sarnt. Major's done fatigues: the Regi- mental Sarnt-Major's done 'em, too. It's one of those things.
"So you'll bash them spuds and turnips with a good grace. Sco?"
" bash them spuds and tur- nips," says the Lad from the Elephant. "But I won't ruddy well bash 'en wiv a good grace. Cause I don't like baaliing spuds, Ser- Keant."
