They will get about fifty per cent more pay than for reg- ular ratings. A new tax bill will be introduced early in the first session of the new Congress to yield revenue to meet the regular expenditures of the Govern- ment, but just what it will be depends largely on the results of present taxes in connection with the cur rent upturn in business, 4 Bombers going to Creat Britain are equipped with the Sperry bombsight, but the United States has declined to permit British use of the Norden bombsight which is used by our first-line fighting planes. While the Sperry sight is sald to be superior to any possessed by other nations, it is considered more or less obsolete when compared to the Norden sight which remains a military secret. Accepting the proposition that the defeat of Great Britain will leave the United States alone with war inevitable sooner or later, the Committee to Defend America by Alding the Allies insists that our only chance of avoiding war “is by giving all material assistance to Creat Britain and her allies immediately.” Just now, the committee urges great- ly increased arms production because the war “may be won or loet on the American assembly lines.” The Dies Committee recently made public a White Paper, dealing with the activities of German agents in this country, whose activities, in the opin- fon of the Committee, have been financed directly by the German Government through the German Embassy. One chapter of the report detalled activ. itles to stir up bad relations between the United States and Japan with the view to preventing the United States from taking any part in the war in Europe. We heartily congratulate the American Federa- tion of Labor on its action in recognizing the re- sponsibility of labor organizations to prevent rackets and racketeering from preying upon business and the public generally. The labor union that works for the benefit of its members is justified by its results. The same cannot be said about the alleged “union” that has been utilized to blackmail employers into the payment of protection fees and which, in the hands of callous, gangster-like leaders, have never been much concerned with the welfare of the workers, The rackets that have plagued large cities have not represented responsible labor leaders, the rank and file of organized labor of the American people. That the American Federation of Labor is turning its at- tention to their nefarious schemes speaks well for the Federition, which deserves a vote of thanks from the public at large It is worth noting that in the celebration of Columbus Day in Madrid, emphasis was placed upon the influence of Spain in Latin America. The Span~ ish Foreign Minister is expected to cultivate Span- ish organizations throughout Latin America and the Philippines in the interest of Spain and toward the elimination of all Anglo-Baxon influence, particu. larly that of the United States, “which Palange names as its mortal enemy.” (The quotation is taken from a news dispatch published in The Christian Science Monitor.) The effort of Spain to gradually assume political leadership in Latin-America is con- sidered, by many experis, the logical outcome of Spain's association with the Axis powers, It is well known that the “New Order” envisioned by Hitler expects to have free access to Latin-American raw « materials and industrial markets, Development of Hispanic-American loyalty to Spain is considered a logical method to achieve the ends in view, PROTECT THE MORALS OF SOLDIERS Fathers and mothers of men called into service under the Selective Service Act will echo the appeal of the War Department, made to civic organiza- tions, asking them to protect the morals of soldiers when they are off duty by eliminating areas of vice and intemperance near Army . : The Army will take care of men when they are on military War Department says that “the have always been a matter of pride to its person- nel . . .

Beyond the military reservations, in civilian communities, the War Department says undesirable conditions are sometimes found which might be “eliminated if civilians Interested In the welfare of the Army will lend their ald and encouragement to their local clvie organizations who are trying to sup- ply wholesome recreation for the men during their off-duty hours." The people of every community should realize that the Army is thelr Army, composed of their sons and brothers, and that it is in the Interest of the nation to cooperate with the War Department in its efforts to “take care” of the soldiers THE WAR IN EUROPE In any appraisal of the situation that exists In Europe, as Great Britain and Germany continue their struggle to the end, it Is useful, once in a while, to compare the relative positions of the belligerents today with their expectations several months ago Five months have elapsed since the sudden sur- render of France Isolated the British people, leaving them alone to face the onslaught of a foe that had not been checked as Hitler tramped triumphant from Poland to the Atlantic Ocean and from the mountains of Norway to the Pyrennes When news reached Der Fuehrer that F had vielded to the attack of her ancient spemy ler, usually taciturn and hearty jig to the delight of the members of his tourage.

There iz no way for us to tell whether the acquisition of industrial plants, ship-building facilities, ores, fuels and other raw materials have soived some, if not all. of the shortages that made Hitler and his ex- perts anxious to avoid a long war last week we called attention to the serious threats that involve the British and space is hot available now to speculate upon the undoubted im- provement in British prospects for eventual victory since June Important factors Include the failure of Ger- many to launch an invasion, the spirited suffering of the people under aerial attacks, the amazing courage of the men of the Royal Air Force and the sterling performance of British seamen. More vital however, is the promise of almost unlimited supplies from the United States which, uniess checked by Hitler, will guarantee British victory if the empire holds the fighting front. the 50 far TO RUSH SUPPLIES TO ENGLAND It is very difficult to ascertain the extent of the damage that is done by German seria! attacks upon objectives in Great Britain despite the importance of the answer Lo the question From Creat Britain, within recent days, haa come considerable testimony as to raids upon in- dustrial centers. The Germans, we are told, have gent their bombers by the hundreds in massed at- tacks upon particular localities, While we have no way of being certain In our estimate as to the damage inflicted, it is safe to as. sume that it is tremendous, To reach this conclu- sion it is not necessary to believe the claims sent from Berlin. It is only necessary to read the British reports of British raids upon objectives in Germany. Obviously, if British planes can inflict serious damage upon rail centers, aircraft factories and other production centers of Germany, German air- eraft can do the same in Creat Britain, It is known that German planes outnumber British hombers and that the targets, sought by Hitler's alrmen, are com- pact and more easily logited than the scattered ob. jectives that are pounded by the R. A. P. This conclusion leads up to consider the part that the United States must play in upholding Brit- ish morale. As German bombs diminish the efficiency of British productive plants, rushing war supplies, the leaders of Britain must know, beyond doubt, that they can secure the supplies somewhere, regardless of German destruction of factories and plants, Thus, it is necessary for the United States to furnish the supplies that will offset the lost produc- tion of British plants and, in addition, if Britain is to keep alive hope of victory, additional material that will promise, some day, to develop adequate super. fority for British arms. The interest of the United Btates, in sending these supplies, Is not to rescue the British empire. While our sympathy is with the British it does not of itself, justify the role of non-bel that has been asumed by the United States in contradie- tion to its former policy of neutrality, The fact is clearly recognized by people in this country thai the future peace and welfare of the United States de- pends upon the outcome of the war now going on in Furope. Consequently, it behooves the United States to speed-up the production of planes, guns, tanks, mun. itlons and other war supplies In order to assure the British of a plentiful reserve, This is Insurance against having to face a trio of victorious dictators, whose idenls and ambitions will lead them into an inevitable attack upon this country, ones they are re- lieved of the necessity of fighting an enemy at home, THE CENTRF DEMOCRAT, BELLEFONTE, PA.
