PHILADELPHIA, June 25 (P) - The Republican national con- vention credentials committee last night sustained the national committee by unanimously seat ing the delegates named by the White faction of Juneau.

French Fleet, Second Strongest In Europe, Does Not Intend to
 Surrender As Terms Stipulate

UNDATED, June 25 (AP) - Ger man and British bombing planes struck in renewed fury as in the peace-still battlefelds of van- ouished France a total of some five million French, German and Italian soldiers quietly obeyed the "cease firing order.
 No Surrender For French Fleet
 The first definite indication that the powerful French fleet, the second strongest in Europe, doesn't intend to surrender as stipulated in the Franco-German armistice, came from Alexandria Egypt, where part of the French fleet still remained in the Egyp- tion port, Britain's main naval base in the Mediterranean. Co., incidentally Churchill told the House of Commons that Marshal Petain uio'atad hiss '.n1est sala4r-9 assurances" to the British that the French fleet would never fall into German hands. Churchill didn't mention the whereabouts of the French fleet however. Wis count Caldecote, Dominion's sec retary told the House of Lords that Britain will make every ef- fort to retain the French naval help. Churchill declared: We hope to reduce France from the ruins and bondage into which she has been cast.
 Fighting Stopped 3:30 Wed.
 The cessation of hostilities on the Western Front and in the Maritime Alps came while the rest of Europe slept. There were few outbursts of joy and none of the whooping shouts and frater- nization which marked the end of the hostilities at the end of the World War. The Italian in- faatrymen merely stacked their rifles and sat down on the noun tain sides and drank hot coffee and wine. The artillerymen left their still-smcking cannons and joined their comrades.

STRENGTH IN UNITY

Whoever was elected to the i'm

will continue to do so be the admin
istration Democratic or Republican
The brightness of those stars is
no brighter for the victorious than
for the vanquished. The sun is no
warmer unless it shines on a uni
fled people. Being Americans be-
fore we are pledged to party, we
will now put our strength into help
ing fight the good fight-togeth-

that he wasn't the choice of all of
the people, only of the majority. May
through wisdom, tolerance and JUS

We stress the Importance of the
working together of all Americans
for not only the good of the country,
but for their own personal happi-
ness. This country has been faced
with peril before, that was what
tempered and steeled the forebears
to make us an America. Their
strength came when they found
unity within and this has not
changed with the years.

THE ZERO HOUR

The very noble bird, the turkey,
approaches the end of November in
fear and trembling. The fatter the
foul the greater the danger. Back
in the old days, the serving of a
glistening, savory, brown-skinned
buzzard was not such a rare occa-
sion. We consider it sort of a fete
day in Kennewick when the menu
contains turkey, for to most tables
turkey is a party dish. Our rug
ged ancestors lacked much in the
way of cauliflower. brussel sprouts,
pistacchi nuts and maple mousse,
but they could certainly take their
turkey as matter of course. AS
enjoyable as is the sight of the
bird reposing in state on the flat
of it's back with garnishes and &C
cessories spread round about, there
comes time when it loses some of
its appeal. A slack season in the

ECONOMIC HIGHLIGHTS

An analysis of the election sta
tistics produces some highly inter-
esting facts. Most obvious of those
facts is that MIR. Rooosevelt's ire
mendous Electoral College majority
gives no indication whatsoever of
the closenesS of the contest. Meas
tred in popular votes, this was the
closest election since 1916, when
Wilson and Hughes were the stand
ard bearers With a total vote of
close to 100000, the Presidents
plurality was under 100000. The
vote cast for Mr.. Willkie was the
largest ever given a Republican
candidate. The Presidents percent
age of the total vote was about 54.5
percent-Which is a comparatively
slim margin, inasmuch as he needed
So percent to win, because of the
excessively heavy majorities the
Democratic ticket always rolls up in
the South.
What this means is that for the

THE THANKSGIVING GIFT

For our bounties we join in pray
erful thanksgiving. For courage
liberty and happiness, we sing q
song of gratitude in recompense. In
appreciation of favors received we
bow our head in earnest supplica-
ton.
Each, of us in Kennewick, though
in his own private world suffers from
sadness and worry, strike a re-
newed note at Thanksgiving time,
the theme of gratitude for our indi-
yidual blessings.
We "give thanks unto the Lord,
and call upon his NAME" as is fit
ting, for whence cometh our benev-
olences? We must also give praise to
our fellowmen, who, directly and in
directly, have taken part in con-
tributing to our benefactions. How
ever poorer may be this other world
which adds to yours and to mine,
that world, through under-priVi-
lodged and fard-pressed, will feel
that their lot is better than that of
thousands of others.
No matter. how much we own, how
small our possessions, the import
ant point is how much do we en-
Joy what we have and do we ap-
praise our gifts with gratitude. We
must remember that gratitude has
the great power of charging small
pleasures and shrinking profound
miSerieS.
We hear little of a modern pill
grim, for that name indicative of |
courage and fortitude, seems to have
disappeared with the first celebra-
ton of Thanksgiving, when fifty |
stalwart souls poured out their |
prayer of praise. The skeptic, who
in his discomfort, derides our state
as sentimental and idealistic, fails
to see that being thankful is SIM
ply using good common sense. This
nation was founded on gratitude by
a tried people living to create a
present and not daring to look into
the future, but striving to found
nation daily, through being happy
for those necessities which they en-
joyed as they hued the wood, hunt
ed the game, raised the grain,
struggled and sacrificed for a
stronghold that was to endure as a
great nation of a great people.
We share one deep blessing with
those Pilgrim Fathers, the under
standing of the Lords goodness, the !!
knowledge of His hand in Our lives
and that, through Him, the pilgrims
of today can find good cause to re-

Now that voters have, for the
fifth time, returned a substantial
majority for the forty-mill tax limit
law, it would seem logical to our
next legislature to turn this OBJ
viously popular measure into a
more permanent form. This can
be done by an amendment to the
State Constitution, already the re-
pository of all other similar existing
limitations upon tax and debt limits.

first time the President has met rea
opposition. AS Time put it, "Be
side a great victory, Roosevelt ais
had the greatest vote of no conf
dence that any President ever re-
ceived" That is not a carping
spoil-sport obserVation-it is Simpl,
the fact. The President won {
clean-cut victory, but he didn't wiz
in anything resembling landslide
Indeed, if only about one million
votes had been cast the other way
| in the big key states it would have
been possible for Mr.. Willkie to have
obtained a two-vote Electoral Col
lege majority, even though the
President would still have had a
popular majority.
The big cities of the country did
much to give the President his win.
He carried New York State by less
than 100000 votes-yet his plurality
in New York city was 100000. He
carried Illinois by a margin of $4,000
while Chicago gave him almost a
100000 lead. While he had an edge
of $4,000 in Milwaukee, his net ma
jority in Wisconsin was but 10000.
Mr.. Willkie ran very well in the
rural districts and the small towns
all over the country, except for the
South. On the other hand, Mr..
Roosevelt's strength in some New
England areas which are die-hard
by tradition, was great
er than before.
MIR. Roosevelt's tremendous ma
jorities in the big industrial towns
indicates that labor was pretty close
to solid behind him, and that John
L. Lewis endorsement of Willkie
did little if any good for the Repub-
lican candidate. The farm vote went
by a considerable major
ity, which indicates that Mr.. Wal
lace was less effective as a cam
oaigner in the farm belt.
What effect Mr.. WILKES total of
y, 100000 votes will have on Con-
yress is now subject of great dis
