Nogales Needs An Army Post

RUMORS are flying thick and fast that NOgales is
~ to have an army post.
It's good news if true but it would not be surpris-
ing to learn definitely cantonment is to be To-
Gated here We had one during World War years and
other years when Uncle Sam thought Nogales needed
protection.
Under the governments giant new national defense
program, calling for the greatest defense machine
the Western Hemisphere has ever seen, army posts
will be established at strategic points and is
more strategical than Nogales located right up
against nation reported to be infested by German
spies, separated from that country by only a wire
fence, and wholly unprotected at the present time.
In these days OF parachutists also known as "unn
brella men, and these days of fast moving motorized
equipment, and thousands of planes which can
wing their way across the in few hours, anything
is liable to happen and Uncle Sam cannot take too
many precautionshe can't afford to be found asleep
at the switch in any part of his vast domain.
Without ample protection at important border ports
and coast towns, Hitlers umbrella men some day
might land in your back yard Just few days ago a
parachutist came down in Ireland-quite distance
from the main fighting front.
Hitler's apostles of misery are reported to be as
fleas dogs back in most parts Of the world, in
cluding the United States and Mexico. Such column
about the downfall of Norway and Holland and might
stir up lot of trouble in Mexico, Canada and the
United States
If Hitler whips Great Britain and gets the big Eng
ish fleet and actually is determined to conquer the
world it stands to reason he will move fast in an
endeavor to transport troops across the Atlantic.
Should they land in Canada Mexico his next step if
Uncle Sam ism amply prepared, might be attempt
ed invasion Of the United States and naturally if
attack comes from Canada or Mexico it would be
through unprotected border ports.
Hitler would think twice before attacking Ameri-
can points protected by troops.
