Butter Shortage In The S.

tjaiiadiaris who are inclined to question the ncctl for such drastic butter rationing as 15 1n force l1(‘l'(' can take some consolation £10m the fact that, even with the reduced ration, they are still apparently much better off than the aver- age United States citizen. The New York Times, in a front page news article discussing the like- lihood of hiittcr and cheese rationing, says:

"Butter for civilians is so scarce now that it cannot be rationed, but when production in- creases in the Spring to the point where retail- ers can honor ration coupons for it rationing will lie undertaken." l

Iraq Joins Up

The declaration of war against the Axl: by the kingdom of Iraq and it: formal adherence to the Declaration of the United Nations, show: how completely that Arab state has detached Itself from German influences since the col- hpae of Rashid Ali's revolt in the early sum- mer of #1941. Iraq declared war on Germany,

‘In!’ and Japan on the sixteenth of-thi: month, Pmmofion of Anlwmmiun ‘ndxmn n‘

l:

and formally entered the rank: of the United Nationl. ‘ '

It would be a mistake t0 measure the value of thi: new ally in term: of it: :11: or military importance. Iraq ha: an are: of 116,000 square milee, and i: therefore about five time: the :ize of Nova, Scotia, Its population when the 1934 census was taken was 3,561,000- Considerably over 3,000,000 of its people arc Mohammedans.

Iraq’: importance a: a declared member of the United Nation: i: two-fold. Geographical- ly it comprises territory of great strategic value

to the Allies, bounded as it is by Turkey on the w’

north, by Syria and Transjordan on the west and by Persia on the east, and possessing on the south one 0f the molt important port: at the head of the Persian Gulf, it afford: an in- valuable route by se: and land for the transport- ation of supplies to the Middle East theatre 0f war. But most important of all are Iraq's religiou: and racial relation: with the vast Arab population occupying the expansive region: on the east of the Red Sea. The Moslem world is not the menace to the Allies in this war that it continued to be throughout the whole period of the last World War.

This and other colored varieties eliminate the neces- sity for dyeing the fiber and produce fabrics highly resistant to the bleaching effect of sun and laundering. One of the varieties of cotton evolved by Soviet wientiet: i: a hybrid of a number of older kinds, which yields a coarse fiber twice a: strong a: the usual gradel. It is used to replace wool in the production of cer- tain fabrics. In 1943, colored and other new varietie: of cotton will be planted in the USSR on :. wide IGIIQ.
