On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

Last year, during the session of the
legislature, the Mesabi range become
very much perturbed as to what would
happen to Ely and the Vernilion range
IN case the Weber-Carley bill, limiting
tax levies to a per capita basis, was
passed.
Ely was not in the least affected by
such a bill and has never over-Stepped
the charter limitation Of the city's tax
levy. Nevertheless, We were "tarred
with the stick" of overspending as being
of the iron ranges, the only spot in
the state where tax money flowed ike
water for luxurious schools, recreation
centers, parks and other improvement"
as was stated in the legislature when
the Weber-Carley measure was de-
bated.
The tax riches and spending of range
communities attracted the attention OF
the balance Of the state and the bill
limiting the tax levies was the result.
with the further proviso that all Min
neSOta would profit from snare OF
iron range taxes. The bill created a
furore in the range towns and COM
mittees were named to lobby the legiS-
lature and sit in on the hearings to
protest the passage.
In Justice to the work Of several
influential members of the range dele
cations and their promises TO put
their houses in order" an interim
committee was named by Governor
Stassen to visit the range towns this
summer and report their findings a.
the 1941 session. In the meantime
range committees were formed to get
facts and figures to present to the
interim committee when they met. Nc
Ely man is on this committee it beine
considered strictly Mesba range af-
fair. Attorney Gina Of Eveleth was
made secretary.

always given Ely the go-by and we here

One-Day Honeymoon

That bride may reject the
bridegroom after the first day Of
the honeymoon is one of the
strange marriage customs of the
Todas tribe of southern India. The
groom becomes an object of de.
rision and is forced to leave tho
village. Only the bride has thif
privilege; the groom cannot re-
fuse to continue the marriage. The
tribe live in the Nilgiri hills, in
the state of Madras; their Ian.
guage is quite distinct from other
Indian dialects, and they have 8
religion entirely their own. Only .
few of the tribe are left, and buffa
loes are their standard of wealth,

the end for British survival hopes.
The first wireless peep from that
fleeing raider would have given
Britain's hunting sea-dogs a clue to
her whereabouts, a scent they were
eager to pick up. The fact that
Britain's navy has successfully
screened merchant conveys for
more than two weeks from a re-
petition of the raid speaks vol
umes for admiralty efficiency.
Britain's Prime Minister Chur-
chill referred in parliament the
same day that the surface raider
struck to a need for naval bases
in Ireland. Probably he had not
yet heard of the incident as he
spoke, for he talked only of the
Nazi U-boat menace to Britain's
sea life lines.
1t was the closer-in bottlenecks
he had in mind. All tonnange des-
tined to England west coast ports
must converge through the North
channel into the Irish sea, or via
St. Georges channel at the south
entrance of that sea.
Those are England's danger
points, the hunting grounds for
Nazi U-boats based in German-oc-
cupied continental ports from Nor
way to the Bay of Biscay.
That was given point only yes
terday when radio stations picked
up distress calls from at least two
British ships and a Swedish
freighter saying they had been tor
pedoed about 400 miles off til e
Irish coasts.
AS the lapse of many days with
out renewal of attack farther at
sea by surface raiders proves, that
phase of the Nazi invasion specter
laid, Britain can spare the ships
to deal with any sporadic appear
ances of Nazi surface craft.
Had Nazi strategists sent out all
available big ships earlier, while
Britain was concentrating her
home fleet against the invasion
peril, a far heavier cor in ton
mage destroyed might have been
chalked up. Presumably such
ships, like much of the Nazi u
boat flotilla, were assigned to
guard a barge-ferried attack on
England if and when it came.
If that is the case, appearance
of the raider on November 5 was
fresh and convincing evidence OF
Berlin abandonment of the invasion
idea weeks ago. Even though they
may be repeated, such raids now
take on the character of either boil
STEERING German home morale or
a mere nuisance for the British
navy. The incident has been great
ly debated by the final loss &C
counting and Nazi failure or ina
bility to follow through. 4

PRESSURE ON p

ANKARA, Turkey, Nov. lo-R-
German Ambassador Franz V o n
Papen conferred with the Turkish
foreign minister for nearly an hour
tonight in an interview in which
the future of Turkey may have
been decided.
The nature of the conversation
Adolf Hitler's ace trouble shooter
had with Foreign Minister Sukru
Saracoglu was not disclosed, but
it was presumed he delivered
terms for Axis acceptance of Tur-
key in the projected new Euro
pean order"
In an interview later with the
official newspaper illus, Won Pa
pen denied that he issued a state
ment in Berlin to the effect that
Turkey should submit to the new
European order and that Russia
is interested in naval bases on the
Persian gulf. These reports had
been widely circulated in the Turk
ish press.
The German embassy likewise
declared without foundation re-
ports that Won Papen would fly
back Immediately to Berlin.
Saracoglu received c Papen
following audiences with the Greek
and British ambassadors, who
called separately.
The Turkish cabinet meanwhile
discussed enforcement of regula-
tons in areas put under martial
law yesterday.
Commenting on Rumania's join
ing up today with the Rome-Ber-
Observation-Disclosures Axis, the Turk
ish radio said tonight: 'It makes
no difference; Rumania already is
in German hands"
Situation Grave
However, the impending Berlin
visit of Bulgaria's prime minister
and foreign minister appeared to
underline the gravity of the situa-
ton, since Turkey has warned Bull
garia not to adhere to the AXIS,
and, more directly, to refrain from
attacking Yugoslavia or Greece.
The official radio declared Italy
had suffered a damaging blow by
setbacks in Greece and that if Ger
many came to Mussolini's aid now
it would be a final and devasta-
ting blow to Italian prestige"
'It is more probable" the radio
said, that Italy will attempt her
own salvation and this is not the
time for Germany to interfere"
There was intense diplomatic
and governmental activity follow
ing yesterdays proclamation of
martial law in European Turkey
and on the Asiatic side of the OAR
danelles.
