Hopefully turned toward Holly

young men and women all over the
country as they graduate this June
TO begin the task Of cutting niche

Not in the spirit of throwing cold

sincere desire of informing them
exactly what conditions are, hope
I may save many Of them disap-

In the first place, motion picture
production is highly specialized.
Every position is held by a person

Many engineering graduates ap-

is absent.

not make them of any use. Sound

STAIN IS NOT
CHEERING NOW
(Santa Monica Outlook

One of the most interesting aspects of
the present European situation is the
effect of German successes on Russia.
While Joseph Stain is not telling the
world what he thinks these days it is Il
fair presumption tina. he is not cheering
the demonstrations of nazi military might
and efficiency particularly after the
miserable showing of his much-vaunted
army against tiny Finland.
What hope Is there for the Russian
army and air force To withstand a vic
torous and aggrandi2ed Germany? To
bc sure. the two countries for the moment
are technically IN partnership. but when
he entered this partnership the Russian
dictator certainly never anticipated the
stunning successes which have fallen to-
Hitler
Now he has reason to fear that Hitler
after imposing peace terms on the allies,
will turn the German machine of con-
quest toward the east.

not true Is years ago when war

IF FRANCE FALLS,
WHAT Then?

If France capitulates to German ter
rorism. and Great Britain stands alone
in it's fight against Adolf Hitler, what
q will be the role of the United States?
Horrible as we find the thought OF
French surrender, cold logic dictates
that it must be considered as distinct
possibility. More thar that. the welfare
of the United States dictates that we
must. as a people. adjust ourselves To
the thought, and to thoughts of what
may follow such an oventuality.
For French surrender would re-echo

hearts of the American people. tWould

against the might of Germany and Italy.
would do all in his great power to place
this nation beside the British on the
field of war.
If that is what the American people

American people should make up their

that are bound to come, but in the clear

With all our hearts we pray that
France may be saved from defeat and
humiliation; in the darkest moment of
the war we pray for 4 miracle that Will

and that will snatch eventual victory
out of seeming defeat. With perpetual
hope We remember the dark days of 1911

But, if they do not, then what? That
too, we must be prepared to face.

THE BRITISH FOLLY
IS WORTH REMEMBERING

While we consider as calmly as is hui
manly possible in a time like this the
great decision that must be made by
the American people, it would be we'll
to remember that the danger now threat
ening France and Great Britain is their
fault, not ours 1t is a danger they could
have met less than six months ago But
they did not.
Six months ago Great Britain refused
to buy in America the machine tools, the
tanks, the ornaments she needs so badly
today, and for which she is now plead
ing as only the British propaganda ma
chine can plead. It is hard to say a
thing like that-but if we are to decide
wisely then wisdom dictates that we
must consider the sort of partner we
might have.
Six months ago the Allies, inspired by
British policy, decided to put economic
pressure on the United States to make
this country lift its ban on credits to
World War debtors. And, to bring this
economic pressure, the Allies bought
nothing in the United States but planes
and plane parts. Had they bought the
other things they needed but which they
foolishly decided they could produce
themselves, they would not today be
pleading for help. They would already
have it. Such is the penalty Of short
sightedness.
