In other words, Americans are Wor- jod lest Turkev adopt the policy that has been of- ficially followed by the United States for many years, We have surrendered our rights on the high seas in an effort to keep out of war, We pattern our ac- tions upon the same reasoning that led small neu- trals to believe that they could avoid war, Like the little neutrals and like Turkey, we cherish the illu- sion that nobody will hurt us if we are nice to every- sody, including the robber nations that are now on he biggest booty-hunt in the history of the world, re fa ents A HOPE FOR THE FUTURE the United States completes ites two-ocean az an aerial force equal to that of any ther nation, the world may be at peace again Thereupon so-called patriots will arise, through- nafion, 10 assert that we do not need our pe aid thet its costs foo much to maintain fleets.

There will be aur- tate pictures of a new era, offering mankind the op- portunity to relegate war to the ‘relic rooms, When this propaganda begins to be heard in this ountry. let us hope that some clear-headed patriots will have sense enough to remember the desperate need of the United States, at this time, of guns, chips, tanks and planes, If it is not too much to ex- pect from the fates that rule the destiny of men, ial alo express the wish that some intelligent stat-sman of the Nifture day will put the spotlight on the suil'n peoples who will, even then, be arming themselves for revenge. wh Associate Editor | HITLER LOOKS BACK, NOT AHEAD! Adolf Hitler celebrated his fifty-second birthday last week on a continent almost completely domin- ated by his military machine, While he heard the lavdatory speeches of his stooges, he felt the weight of bitter hatred mounting among millions who now despise him and the works of his Nazi regime, It 1s trae that Herr Hitler ean Y00k back upon a ry impreseive year and a half, His army and alr force have sccred notable triumphs, destroying for- m'dable enemies and imposing the Nazi will upon many miilions of subject peoples On the Balkan front, the Fueehrer listened to reports from the front where his super-army is siowly overwhelming an out-nuwmbered forge of Greek and British soldiers Hitler and h's entourage boast of the accom- plithments of German arms, They understand bet- ter than the rest of the world what is ahead in the next few months. The campaign against Yugoslavia and Greece, they know, is the opening round of an engagement which will be Intensified in the next few weeks Confidently, the Nari leaders look for victory and grimly prepare to bring other areas under their domination The democratic peoples of the world face heavy and new humiliations, If not disastrous re they can put an end to the Nazi, No march of German power or from the backs of Euro- uffering defeat bel miracle will hal banish German pean peoples The tvievahlyv 10 oi iemocracy, however, is ov reason to expect i an withstand Ger- n Ora bie tain mal next in the opinion of military ited State . f time year » flood of scales from the Ui 3 the favor Of Lhe wmment in will begin the thought of the Nazi + itself.

Newspapers are dependent upon their press associations for the news they publish and it would be relatively easy for press associations to compel individual newspapers to behave We think it is about timé for newspapermen to implement thelr associations In order to prevent a few individuals, or a few newspapers from dis- crediting the press of the nation. country RUSSIA AND JAPAN AS ALLIES Japanese newspapers, according to the Assocs iated Press, say that it is no longer “a crazy dream” to expect a great war, with Japan, Germany, Italy and Soviet Russia on one side and the United States, Britain and China, on the other, For once, the Japaticse newspapers are right The possibility of such a war has increased with the signing. of the neutrality pact between Russia and Japan. Hitler will no doubt do his best to persuade Russia and Japan that they can easily acquire the territory thev covet by Joining in the assault upen the British Empire. The governments of Germany, Italy, Japan and Rue‘ip are motivated by the common hope of suc- cessfully looting the rest of the world. Together they constitute a formidable thréat to what our people consider modern civilization THelr theories of gov- ernment, including the suppression of popular lib- erty, runs directly opposite to liberal conceptions now in vogue in Great Britain, the United States and the Chinese government, AT WAR WITHIN NINETY DAYS? Representative Martin Dies predicts that the United States will be at war with the Axis powers within ninety days. He thinks that "England and the United States will win the war after a hard, bitter struggle” end- ing with a joint invasion of Italy and Germany through Greece ind the Balkans, Mr. Dies is of the opinion that it is the duty of the United States to fight and to send an army to Europe. We are nol yet prepared to underwrite the prophecy of the Texan although this nation will have to fight before accepiing Nazi domination of the world. { THE OrrFice CAT “A Little Nonsense Now and Then, Is Relished by the Wisest Men” D — Letter By Jesus Reported Found | (Continued from page one) is sufficient for both of us “Letter of Jesus Christ, Son of God, wo Abgar, Toparch of Edessa Rather Ileavy List The Army post was evacuating and one of the quartermaster’s ns- sistants was detailed to make an inventory of the furnishings and equip- {ment of the commanding office:’s offices, After telling him what to do, { the big gun left him to his resources, They found a list a little later on, | something like this: i Decks, mahogany, one: chairs, mahogany, three; rug, | decanters whisky, full, three: decanters whisky, full two; | green, seven; decanters whisky, full, none; threr desgs and if yo! ont beleve me count them; fibe hundrer thiusand ephelanys, green, blue, pur- ple; one pink bison, large biue sopysts; revolving door mat; one wheeeee phwanana brown, one; *® oo oo 9 Goud Way to Get Speed A prolessor was trying to demonstrate a simple experiment in the generation of steam “What have 1 in my hand?’ asked “A lin can” was the answer. “Exactly, Now can any little boy tell is possible to generale a surprising amount of bevond control? he this Un can, it power almost me how with speed and ittle boy raised his hand Willie to a dog's tall MAY answer ® 4 oo High Finance local bi who is greeted one evening by hi A certain well Xn yf thousands of dollars announced Well, Dad 1 “Yes, for how much?” asked the father Ten Ten "1 didn" always talking elight-year- wn wa shot n OK ow I've sold your dog thousand dcliar: thousand dollars!
