bulge" should have the unified
support of this country. 1t is
move in the direction we must 60
mich is to make our defense indie
,endent of the strength of any na-
ton but our own. The only criti-
ism of it is the inexcusable delay
md lack of foresight in not having
!One it long ago.
But what we are giving for them
s something else again. 1t has not
been revealed. Neither have the de-
zils of our defensive deal with Can
ada. Canada is a nation at war.
She has gone across the sea to at
hck European power. 1t puts us
position of saying to Europe:
American nations can attack you
but if you counterattack them we
vii fight you"
Perhaps in view Of our geographic
md strategic problem, that can't
be helped. But do our Canadian
nd British secret understandings
70 further? There was some i'm
pication in Mr.. Churchill's recent
eroration that they do-British and
american cooperation" in war
ulling along the Old Man River,
shich is symbol for fateful in
Hitability-the "hotillas of l94l."
rhich sounded like a promise of
american naval Intervention.
Mr. Roosevelt is reported to have
souted the idea that there is any
hing in the deal for bases about
our detaching a part of our insult
tient navy-50 destroyers-to fight
q the side of Britain. But things
hat Mr.. Roosevelt scouts, like his
bird term ambition, have a curious
nd tortuous way of promptly COM
lg true.
No matter how it may be dis
pissed or how warlike lawyers now
pit hairs, the detachment of those
sstroyers is so clearly direct par
tcipation in this war that two years
igo, examining the question coldly,
nere is not an international lawyer

Erded a contrary view as prepos-
krous.
From his Chicago Quarantine"
Peech to the present moment, there

his willingness, if not his inten-
BON, to mix this country up in the
sars of both Europe and Asia. Or
he contrary, with increasing tempo
md intensity, every act has beer
smpletely consistent with precisely
hat aim.
Mr.. Ickes, Mr. Wallace and others
ave emphasized Mr.. WILKES zen

VI. 1ckes has suggested that this
like the God-awful 1886 campaign
there there were no issues except

'ember, had better look that thought

Some of Mr.. Wilkes Republican

WASHINGTON.-It is interesting
to note the manner in which certain
congressman have consistently
squelched attempts to investigate
the state departments cooperation
with the British tin trust and certain
U. S. business firms to prevent the
United States from acquiring suf-
ficient supplies of tin.
With Japan now able to seize the
Dutch East Indies and the Malays,
the United States may have her
tin supply cut off in few weeks
time. Yet up until recently, the
state department played in with the
British tin monopoly, did nothing
about the situation.
Now Sol Bloom, energetic chair
man of the house foreign affairs
committee, has introduced resolu-
ton to investigate the tin situation.
But he faces the vigorous opposi-
ton of Representatives Cochran of
Missouri and Faddis of Pennsyl-
vania, both Democrats.
Interesting fact is that Congress
l. dddlS SOlllSS
vania's twenty-fifth district, in
which is located the Standard Tin
Plate company, which is tied up
with Continental Can and long has
done business with the British
monopoly.
Also Representative Cochran
comes from St. Louis, where the
National Lead company operates the
St. Louis Smelling and Refining COM
pany. National Lead owns part of
Patino Mines, which is the keystone
of the British tin monopoly. Until
recently National Lead has lobbied
against all efforts to establish tin
shelters in the United States, thus
making this country independent of
the British tin trust.

There isn't very much more for

point out that self-evident conclu-
sion.
But the Fourth is certainly a
good day to put in little lesson on
first aid.
Resuscitation has q technique
that should be learned by all vaca-
tionists. In cases of drowning,
electric shock, or Inconsistencies
from fumes - such as automobile
cxhaust-any condition which re-
suits in suspension of breathing,
artificial respiration should be
started as soon as possible, which
means as soon as the victim is
clear Of the causative agent,
whether it be a gas-fillcd room,
water, or the electric wire.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

E. FIVE have had quite a
discussion as to whether you
should or should not open your
windows at night. This would
particularly pertain to children
and if you have a cold, Do open
windows cause you to catch cold?"
Answer-I think, undoubtedly.
that opening the windows at night,
provided your bed clothes keep
you warm, is generally regarded
as more healthy than keeping
them closed. Most people find they
wake up more comfortable in the
morning. 1t induces sleep and
there is an impression that it pre-
vents colds. This applies even
more to children than it does to
adults. In fact, elderly and weak
people probably can overdo the
window raising idea. Statistics
show that in the case of pneu-
monia people do better in the
open air.
