Packages for prisoners of war and internees. Americans taken prisoners of war or interned by Germany and Italy regularly receive standard American Red Cross food packages, shown here stacked like bricks in the International Red Cross warehouse at Geneva, Switzerland. U.S. prisoners of war receive one package a week as soon as the Red Cross is notified of their capture and location. Internees receive one package every two weeks. As of December 9, 1942, Germany and Italy had reported 243 American prisoners of war and 1512 interned civilians. Each package weighs eleven pounds and contains evaporated milk, buscuits, cheese, cocoa, sardines, pork, beef, chocolate bars, sugar, coffee, powered orange concentrate, prunes, cigarettes and smoking tobacco

Forty-two keys to victory. Somewhere in the field with the U.S. Army, comprehensive clerical work is carried on between maneuvers. Unless those typewriters not essential to the war effort are turned in by civilians to Uncle Sam, the shortage of sufficient machines may materially cripple the speed and facility of army operations

How lend-lease strikes at the Axis. Lend-lease supplies shipped to United Nations include more than planes, tanks and guns.

Longshoremen are accustomed to stacking bags of flour for shipment along with weapons

Packages for prisoners of war and internees. A Red Cross Canteen worker, Miss Mary Dougherty, inspects a Red Cross food package going to an American prisoner of war. Packages like this are sent regularly from International Red Cross headquarters in Geneva to American prisoners of war and interned civilians held by Germany and Italy. One a week goes to each American prisoner of war whose capture and location have been reported and one every two weeks to each interned civilian. Twenty thousand such packages were sent to the Far East on the neutral diplomatic exchange ship Gripsholm last June, together with one million cigarettes and other supplies for American prisoners and internees in Japan, occupied China and the Philippines. Much larger quantities are now on the Gripsholm pending final clearance with the Japanese for her sailing on a second trip

The four freedoms. In the sky the distant rumble of attacking planes come closer and closer. European civilians have heard this rumble hundreds of times, and they know what it means. Here in America we have not heard it, but because we know what it means we are arming to the teeth to defend our people. Strong national defense means freedom from fear for our people
