News columns over the weekend reviewed Adoloh Hitlef's inbi ten years as chancellor and president of the Third Or- man ncich. Those same news eolumns almost dailv tll f growing shortage of food in Germany. "IJitler and his German armies," a leading story in one of Chicago's largest newspapers 'T' v"1' ,ilt'1"? enemy more terrible than the almost nightly drone of the RAF, more terrible even than the fightin spirit of the Knssian soldier. That enemy is starvation." And therein lies a fault which, we think, has been with us too long. The American people, possibly, are too prone to under-estimate the total strength of their enemi-s, too un willing to view the picture in the long-run outlook. Ninety percent of us would have said, in January a year ago, that Japan could not last six months in a war with the United States; many would have said not six weeks. And most of ns, since 1938, have been reading reports that Germany is on the verge of stavation, will not last through another sum mer. Possibly not. But the German leaders have something to say about that, In 1937. Hermann Gnprino- tnM tk i,i tu u' ... ' "vim, 1 lie WUIiU still grudges us our place in the sun. We must help ourselves.

And then we are told: 'What o you want with eoloniesT Pay with your gold.' Give us Dae our gold and our land and we will pay you with it. . .' Von Ribbentrop echoed this doctrine, "Germany's Leben srauni is too small, without th Kimnlom antee an undisturbed, assured, and permanent food supply. The ...uum, vi. uemg permanently dependent on the accident of a jswvi or uau narvesr is intoiieraDie. And Adolph took up the chorus, "It is not longer pos sible for some countries to flow milk and honey while others have to struggle for a bare existence." These were the an swers Germany gave in defying a world criticizing her for a desire to expand, a desire to acquire more land, and with it a desire for more food. All this suggests a country without many resources. They felt it themselves, e. p.. Fritz Sternberg, derma n ronotnii analyst points out that "Germany in 1039 was allowing her souners bw grams oi rations as compared with 1,030 in 1913 for a similar period of time (3days)." After some 5,000 words to this effect, Sternberg closes by saying, "If Germany is left to her own resources, famine will overtake her sooner than in the last war, a fact whieh explains Germany's entrance into uie war. Joday, as in VJU, Germany is facing the p ril of being defeated by hunger despite her possible military suc cesses on the battlefields." Today, however in 1943, and going into her fifty-third month of total war, Germany is seemingly as well off as she was in 1939. True, conditions in 1939 hardly pointed to a successful campaign of world-conquering, but with France, the only nation in the world outside the United States totally self-sufficient in food supplies, now completely taken over, Germany's food situation should definitely be on the up swing. The French people will raise crops to feed themselves --and whether Hitler then takes that food and "divides" it or not, it seems logical to believe that the German armies will not be facing starvation. In addition, the last harvest in the Reich was one of the best in years and the minimal but not unhealthy diet established in 1939 has been main tained. It is said that General von Fritseh made the remark that 'while a war might well be ended with bread cards, no mod ern war can possibly start with them." Whether or not that is true, whether or not Germany's armies are facing starvation today, she DID start a war with ration cards 1 The American people might do well to take at least some of the news predicting a German collapse because of food shortages "cum grano sal is." G. W. A. Awards (Continued from Page 1.) ner of the fellowship will be se lected by a committee to be named by Chancellor C. S. Boucher. The remaining awards, to be known aa the "Nathan J. Gold Dis trict Chemurgic Awards," will be presented to the amateur garden ers in each of the six regency dis tricts of the university, who do the most progressive work in the cultivation of new crops with chemurgic value. First prize award in each district will be $25. Second will be $15, third $10. District awards will be made in the fall. Gardeners must file their applications for awards with their county agents before Nov. 1, 1943. Judges of district competition will be a committee of one county ex tension agent named by the direc tor of agricultural extension of the University of Nebraska, and two other men named by the former, The state grand prize of $100 will be awarded by a committee chosen by the chancellor. Coincident with the announce ment of the chemurgic awards, Mr. Gold said, "Chemurgic Re search is the key that will open the door to an ever-expanding and permanent economic improvement in Nebraska. "It will, I believe, ensure greater income for agriculture, and be the means of enlarging industry and employment in the state. "I sincerely hope that these awards will stimulate interest and cooperation in the fine work being done by the chemurgic department of our university." Expressing the university's gratitude for the awards. Chan cellor C. S. Boucher stated: "We are very grateful to Mr. Gold for this magnificent testimonial of deep interest in the University of Nebraska and in the econmic wel fare of the state. The Nathan J. Gold Awards in Chemurgy will stimulate, develop and reward significant research in two impor tant phases of chemurgic investigation." Music . . (Continued from Page 1.) voice.

Offer Undergrad Courses. A wide variety of undergraduate courses in music will be offered as usual in the summer session. These courses will be available to gradu ate students who find it necessary to make up deficiencies in their undergraduate training.

"It is planned that after a short period of basic training many of these men will be returned to one of the selected colleges or univer sities for several months of addi tional schooling in a curriculum prescribed by the War Depart ment." Since University of Nebraska students are just starting their second semester, It would seem that they are subject to immediate call under the program as announced.
