DR.. Nasatir, an authority on
South American affairs and former
vice-consul of Paraguay, warned:
South America is actually clos

States For years South Ameri-
cans went to Europe for travels
and education The United
States was too busy with domestic
expansion 70 take much notice and
feeling of deep distrust for the
Colossus of the North was built
up among the 20 South American
nations"
The distrust was so deep that
a decade ago at a pam American
conference the representatives OF
13 South American nations were
ordered to watch which way the
United States voted and then vote
opposite, Dr. Nasatir declared.
The feeling was so great during
the Hoover administration that
when President Hoover visited
South America, every possible SOL

for the resumption Of blockade run

More important than any physical
gains to Nazi Germany, however. are
the gains she has made in prestige
as a result of her astounding con-
quest of Norway in the very teeth
of the allies. The fact that Ger
many dared to leave the shelter of
her strong defenses and expose her.
self to direct attack by the allies for
the first time is in itself moral
victory of the first order in view of
the unsettled relationship between
the belligerents and the remaining,
uneasy European neutrals.
Military authorities are of the
opinion that Germany will make
little effort to extend her gains in
Norway. but will undertake at once
to consolidate her holdings and reap
every possible advantage from them
before proceeding to the next phase
of the war.
Sweden in Grave Position.
What this phase will be, few are
willing to predict, in view of the fact
that the whole essence of the Ger
man strategy Is to do the unex-
pected. There is no Disgusting the
fact, however. that the position OF
Sweden is of the utmost gravity
and none of the military observers
would be surprised to see 4 speedy
German campaign for subjugation
of the Swedes. although Sweden is
better prepared than any of the ma
tions which so far have been
smashed under the German heel.
The German navy undoubtedly
has taken terrific beating as a re-
suit of its exposure to the British
sea power during the Norwegian
campaign. The Swedish navy,
though small, would be formidable
opponent for what remains of the
German fleet and, with the aid OF
alert coast defense units, might
make it very difficult and danger
Gus for the Germans to establish a
beach-head on the Swedish coast.
1t might be easier and less costly
for the Germans to launch an Of
fensive against Sweden from the
Norwegian border. counting on tre-
mendous air superiority to soften
the tough, well-equipped Swedish
Army.
Military observers do not antici-
pate an allied offensive at any time
in the near future against the new
German north front across Norway.
A German position either from
Trondheim or Namsos east to the
Swedish border would be easily de-
Tended, especially il time is given
for consolidation and preparation of
positions. The front against which
allied ground forces would have to
operate would be narrow, rough and
very difficult. A large. exceedingly
well equipped force, with strong air
support and an excellent source of
supplies would be required to make
much of an impression against such
a German position.
The only immediate hope for an
allied success which would in any
measure Offset the German sue
cesses would be the defeat of the
Nazi garrison at Narvik and an i'm
mediate drive along the railroad
east from Narvik to the Swedish
iron country. The full success Of
such move, however, would entail
the invasion of neutral Sweden and
unquestionably would precipitate the
Nazi conquest of that country, and
might even stir Russia into q re-
newed offensive in northern Scandi-
navia, it is feared.

INVESTIGATE THOROUGHLY, THEN
ACT

The matter of erecting a new fire
station in Coolidge for the new fire
truck that was purchased this summer
has brought about various opinions as
to location and type of building.
One group wishes to erect the build
ing adjacent to the justice of the peace
office, in which are located several
county officials. Another group feels
that location there hazardous to street
triffic and desires the building should
be erected on another lot in town which
would have to be purchased. Still an
other group says the county park deed
ed to the Board of Supervisors by r. J.
Jones should be the place for the fire
house, since that would be an ideal To-
cation for other city government build
ings that might follow in the future.
AT any rate, thorough consideration
and investigation both with the Arizona
Equitable Rating Bureau and the true
concensus of local opinion should be
dealt with before any decision is made
What might seem foolish now, could
possibly prove to be entirely wise in the
not too distant future. We feel certain
that Coolidge will not make the same
mistake that many municipalities have
made in failing to plan adequately, and
for the future.

publishing for George A. Nown this
week.)
Dear Editor
| am submitting herewith my objections to
having the fire department building on the court
house lot.
My reason for making this objection is that
some of us citizens bought this lot and gave it
to the county for court house and now need
a ladies' toilet and mems toilet and more court
room the lot. Also at the time of
elections gatherings OF any kind held at the
court house. the fire truck could not be taken
out of the building without considerable trouble
and loss of time. Besides, truck would have
to go either right or left If built on this lot:
whereas, on separate lot it could go in all four
directions
This small truck that we have now will not
last very many years and we will have to buy
larger one. and at that time the building will
be large enough
Yours truly
