One can hardly overestimate the threat
of Germany to our commitments in South
America if Germany wins this war and
takes over the British trading ships. We
are committed to defend South America
against further encroachment from other
continents. Penetration by Germany
would be peaceful at first, to be follow
ed inevitably by various coups involving
the governments of the South American
republics.
The peaceful penetration would be
through channels of trade, where Ger
many would have an immense advan-
tage, due to the fact that she needs what
South America produces and produces
what South America needs. With us the
situation is not so favorable. South
American countries are our competitors
in production of foods.
Germany prior to this war had begun
her penetration of South America and
had attempted, among them one in Bra
zil Germany was in no way as strong
then as she would be following subjuga-
ton of Britain and France. Nor was her
influence abroad as great.
Only by the closest cooperation with
the existing governments, backed by an
ability to protect them efficiently in time
of danger can the United States hope to
enforce its Monroe policy.

didn't seem much disappointed at
not being asked to make his book

co.'s Rabelais into a ope-rcel short.
Even without the unfilmablc
parts the handel best-seller con-
tains enough material for about
six features. The one being used is
the story Of Joey the boxfighter and
his girl Bella ard his brother Bert.
Most OF the other characters and
highlights In the portrait of Gotham
have been left out. although Frank

commentator Of Our Town" has
been hired as an atmospheric Voice

MD WHAT OF the U.S.?

French capitulation to Germany Gre
ates new problems for the United States
and may bring nearer the day when
positive military action is necessary to
keep Europe's dictators out of this hemi-
sphere.
If Germany attempts to seize French
possessions in the Americas, what will be
Uncle Sans policy?
1t should be, we firmly believe, poll
cy of opposition to the very end, with
every means at our disposal. If Ger
many, or Italy either attempts to set
foot in this hemisphere, then we should
fight. For, once they are given foot
hold here, we could expect in the end
the same thing France received.
If it is necessary. the United States
should take over both British and French
possessions in this hemisphere, We be-
lieve. We could do it in payment for the
debts those countries owe us. And, if
we did not do it, our own national life
may be threatened. Ours should not be
the mistake both Britain and France
made-the mistake of waiting too long.
If we must become imperialistic to
degree in order to save our own democ-
racy, then let us become imperialistic.
But let us never slumber under a blan-
ket of false belief that what is happen
ing in Europe can never happen here. 1t
can happen here-and unless we are on
the alert it will happen.

CAN BRITAIN PERFORM
ANOTHER MIRACLE?

If Great Britain is able eventually to
defeat Germany it will go down In his
tory as the greatest military and naval
achievement of all time.
Never before in her history has Britain
faced such a crisis as she now contrOnts.
| The Spanish Armada, sailing toward
England, was a child's toy compared to
the armored threat Hitler holds over the
heads of Englishmen today. Napoleon
was an infant at warfare compared to
the men guiding the German military
machine in this war.
Never has there been a day when de-
feat seemed so certain for the proud
British Isles.
Yet history-if history is worth any
thing today-throws ray of hope across
the European horizon. 1t lies in the his
toric fact that France has been con-
quered before-Britain never. 1t lies
also in the aging memory of Napoleon
and of the Spanish Armada and of the
pre-Napoleonic French threat to the
British empire Eyes, there was time
when the then French empire attempted
to take over the British Isles). 1t lies in
the fact that the British have faced over
whelming odds time and again-and yet
have lived to build the greatest empire
the world has ever seen.
And yet another hope lies in the first
authentic, eye witness account out of
France relating to the tragic last three
days. Edward Beattie, United Press cor
respondent, told how the only segment
of the defense line in France on which
order was maintained. and where advan-
ces were scored against the Germans, was
that assigned to the British Expedition
airy force. The French-propagandized
as the greatest fighting force in the
world-were throwing down their rifles
and going home, while the British bat
tied through the German lines for five
miles on the only advances made against
the mighty Hitler machine.
Yes, there is hope-even though it is
a scant hope-that Britain may yet turn
back the threat against her shores.
It can do no good to overrate her
chances, however. SO we say, if Britain
wins in the end it will be history's great
lest triumph.

And the love of freedom is still
fierce and steady in the nation to-

It Is. Mr.. President
And no President has ever called
on the American people for effort,
courage, sacrifice, Ind devotion
without receiving those things in
Overlooking measure.
George Washington called for
them when the patriots starved
and froze at Valley Forge. Lincoln
and Davis called FOR them as they
led their tnoriehtarily divided sec
lions, Americans all. against each
other. Woodrow Wilson called for
them when an ambitious European
autocrat once before dashed to bits

Each time the American people
responded, and showed devoti0h

respected. They will not fail to
respond today.

Jobs for June
Graduates
BY DIR. FLOYD w. REEVES
Director, American Youth
Commission

American youth leaving SCHOOLS
and colleges to seek jobs faces a
highly competitive labor market. 1t
would be both unfair and unrealiStic
to saw that all who desire to work,
and have the energy to seek it, can
find Jobs The fact is, there are not
enough jobs to go around.
1t takes about two years for the
average boy or girl to find employ
ment that carries with it any de-
gree of permanence. This does not
mean that most young people walk
the streets for two years before OBJ
tanning their first job. 1t does mean
that there is an enormous turnover
among new workers before they
fir.i the job for which they are
suited.
On a national average, one in
six will be unable to find employ
ment, and will help to swell the
estimated total of 4.000, 900 unem-
ployed young people under "a years
Of age. which today represents about
one third of the nations unemploy-
ment problem.
After painting this gloomy picture
there are a number of helpful Sug-
gestionS based on studies and find
ings of the American Youth Com
mission, which can be of value to
the boy or girl in search of work.
The first suggestion is offered
moro to parents than to young
people, for the search for job
starts from the home. Parents
should realize that the aptitudeS
ard interests of a son and daughter
may be quite different from their
own. and they should not be dicta-
torial about occupational choice.
They should encourage vocational
exploration, but should discourage
wishful thinking. Most boys aspire
to white collar jobs. although 70
per cent are destined to wear over
alls.
Second. a boy or girl should seek
vocational guidance from those
qualified to give it. If they are for
t,inate, their school has a guidance
program.
Even If an individuals school
does not offer guidance. it will be
wise to ask the school principal
or class teacher what he believes he
mr. she is best fitted to undertake.
In the search for counsel it will also
pay to make inquiries at the local
Y. M. c A.. or Y. w. c. A., for
many branches offer occupational
guidance for youth out of school.
Third, most young persons fail to
register at the local public place.
ment agercy. Creation of a net
work of public employment offices
is one of the great social achieve
inents Of recent years, which recog-
MICS the public's responsibility for
helping bring workers and en-
p'oycrs together.
Fourth. boys and girls unable to
find employment should consider
additional education. This is not
always possible, but the more edu-
cation one has. the better the
chances arc of getting a job.
Fifth. If circumstances make il
impossible for youth to continue
his education without assistance, he
may be eligible for the Civilian
Conservation Corps or for a Ma
tional Youth Administration schol-
arship Or work project.
To know what one can do and
the fields in which there are the
greatest opportunities is half the
battle. 1t gives sense of direction
and permits boy or girl to act
with purpose. Above all. it prevents
aimless drift. which is denoraliz-
ing to character.
