your ambition toward becoming a
motion picture chapter play star.

his neck no less than thirty times,

Escaping from a rubterranear

your timing. If you are not where
you should be at any given second
it is just too bad"

JAP-AXIS THREAT

month, ''since Herr Hitler turned
his rage and malice on the civilian
population of our great cities"
Yet, he said, the force of the
blow is failing off," the Germans
have used much of their potential
strength; the Royal Air force has
proved to the world that here at
home, over our own island. we
have the mastery of the air."
Using the Germans own figures
on bombs dropped, Churchill de-
duced that the deadliness of air at
tack in this war is only one-thir-
teenth, or at best one-tenh, of
that from 1914 to 1918.
He took the house ito the other
side Of the globe" then, and dis
closed that on Oct. II the Burma
road to China will be thrown open
to continued movement of supplies
at the expiration of a 3-month
agreement with Tokyo which,
Churchill said, was i n t e n d e d
to permit Japan and China time to
find "a just and equitable settle
ment of their long n deadly
quarrel"
Instead of reaching an agree
ment with China" he went on,
the Japanese government have
entered into a horsepower pact
with Germany and Italy which is,
in many respects, a revival OF the
anti-C omintern pact.
THE pact binds Japan to attack
the United States of America
should the U. S. A. intervene in
the war now proceeding between
Great Britain and the two Euro
pean states. This bargain appears
so unfavorable to Japan that one
wonders whether there r not
some secret clauses.
ut is not easy to see in what
way Germany and Italy can come
to the aid of Japan while the Brit
Sh and United States navies re-
main in being, as they certainly do
and as they certainly will"
The crowded benches echoed:
''They will be-"
Without celebrating, Churchill
said the pact, 'in secondary de-
gree" also was pointed at Soviet
Russia. He added:
Neither Of the branches of the
English speaking rae is accus-
toned to react to. threats of vio-
lence by submission, and certainly
the reception of this strangely ILL
balanced declaration, in the United
States, has not been at all en-
couraging to those who are its
authors"
Concerning Dakar, Churchill laid
the blame for the expeditions fail
ure on the ''mischievous" passage
of three Vichy cruisers and three
destroyers past Gibraltar to Sene-
gal, where they fought off the Free
where they fought off the Free
French" landing force of General
Charles De Gaulle, supported by
bTlIlSu WdTSL1pS.
He revealed that neither the war
cabinet nor the first sea lord of the
admiralty was told that the ships
were approaching Gibraltar until
it was too late. He did say, how
ever, that the French vessels
were prevented from carrying out
their purpose of attacking the Free
French colony of Duala."
Churchill placed the Vichy naval
losses at Dakar as two submarines
sunk, two d~estroyers set afire, a
cruiser badly hit and the crippled
battlehip Richelieu further DAM
aged. Damage that will require
considerable attention" was done
to a British capital ship and a
large cruiser, he admitted. l

Election GOES on, OPINION

Prosecutor Thor Tollefson said Friday afternoon he
was unable TO find any statute court ruling in the
state of Washington which covered such a situation
existing in Tacoma with the death Of G. B. kerstetter
Tolefson said, in his opinion. Kerstetter's
should remain on ballots at Tuesdays election. In
event the deceased candidate should receive majority
of votes it would then be up to the city council TO fill
the post which then would be declared by virtue
of the former senator's demise
However, Tollefson said, should "stcker' candi-
