A MONG naturalists who get
IA around for a first-hand
y look at the country's
fauna and flora, there are those
who are more or less familiar
with the family life of the Brown
Pelican-a bird that is found, by
the countless thousands, from the
southern United States to Brazil.
Many of these students of the
Animal Kingdom seem to be of
the opinion that the newborn
Brown Pelican is about the
ugliest youngster that cracks its
way out of an egg.
One of the photographs on this

flattering notion--the one of a

Biloxi, Mississippi, in the Gulf of

I CANNOT understand how so many Ameri-
i can people can take the present threat to
personal and national liberty as unconcernedly
as they do: The avowed determination of
Hitler to destroy all democracies, and the
brutal force used to accomplish this end
If England is defeated and destroyed,
Hitler will have control of all Europe, and
with Japan as his ally, will have control of
all Asia and the East Indies as well as
Australia.
This combination of power in Europe and
Asia could produce three ships to our one,
about four or five airplanes to our one, and
they could put at least 20 soldiers in battle
to our one. 1t is foolish to believe this country
could not be invaded and our cities destroyed
as in France and England.
Our only course, as / see it, is to stop
Japan in the Pacific now; free China and
thus protect Our West Coast. And at the
same time, furnish England with enough sup
plies and arms to win the war in Europe,
thus re-establishing the small democracies.
The way our Congress is stalling and
playing politics in the face of the danger-is
like Nero playing his fiddle while Rome burns.
1 served in the last World War and have
attended West Point, and know what curse
war is, but would rather go through it again
than to know our children and grandchildren
would be slaves to a foreign power

T WONDER what is wrong with
i our draft officials? Why
didn't Hank Greenberg get
deferment? James Stewart got
his.
What I can't understand, and
I'll bet lots of other people can't
either, is this: There are boys
who stand on corners who are
always ready with a remark
when a woman or girl goes by.
There are boys who hang around
beer gardens and dance halls and
pool rooms who either won't
work or can't find a job.
Those men and boys, I'll bet,
at the end of a years training,
would thank the army for
making men out of them. Every
time you pick up paper you
read youth holds up some
place, or molests girls, or a
murder. Those are the men of
tomorrow who need training.

Defend Half of Globe

I BELIEVE that America should concentrate
on her own defense and her own independ-
ence. We should prepare ourselves to defend
one-half of globe, one-eighth of the popula-
ton of the globe and 20 per cent of the
earth's surface.
We should prepare ourselves to defend the
waters of the Pacific, west from the Boring
Sea to the shores of the Philippine Islands
on the South China Sea; to defend the waters
of the Atlantic from the Bay of Fundy south
to the Straits of Magellan, east to the shores
of Africa.
We have to defend the inhabitants Of the
Western Hemisphere and the Philippine
Islands, to protect against invasion by the

DY HELPING England we are weakening
- our defenses 25 per cent. If we block
Japan we will reduce our naval defense pro-
gram 25 per cent.
Selling war materials to Russia, who in
turn sells hers to Germany, will strengthen
the Axis power 10 per cent and increase our
help to Britain that much more, or weaken
our defense another 10 per cent.
This leaves us 80 per cent to protect our
selves and the American continent and this
will be further reduced by spies and agitators
who have or will enter this country under
the guse of refugees sportsmen, students
and professionals.
That is exactly what the Axis powers want
us to do.
l believe that the best procedure is to
stand pat and wait for the showdown; mean
while putting new bearings in the wheels of
our defense industries.
l have spanned the seven seas for nine
from the u. S. A, the more l forgot the mean
ing of the word democracy. Although the
craving stayed within me, it was nowhere for
me to enjoy until set foot again on the only
free soil on the globe.
don't know of one instance when Britain
ever helped any one but England.2We helped
them in 1917 and the only help we received in
return was to forget it.

Many Russian aliens found TO be in this country
Illegally adudged be undesirable have been ordered
to be deported-among them the Russian-born wife of
Earl Browder head of the Communist Party in the United
States.
But by the simple of having all Russian spies
saboteurs agators and undercover agents enter the
United States spurious passports the Russian gov
is able to deny citizenship and refuse visas.
THUS the undesirable and deportable alien fauns the
laws of the United States and remains here, free to
carry the descriptive and destructive errands for which
he originally came here.
The wife of Browder thus remains in the United
States, although her deportation has been ordered
Browder himself is under conviction for having
Travelled between the United States and Russia with
fraudulent passports.
This utter contempt and defiance of American law
should challenge Congress to devise effective
methods for dealing with undesirable aliens-if not to
remove them from the country then to end their SUBJ
versive activities here.

connection with undesirable aliens And the fraudu-
lent passport is not the only device which illustrates

identity by conquest, and thus undeportabe
Obviously the of deportation is longer effee

American institutions and security
Perhaps the establishment of penal island for the
permanent accommodation of undesirable but undepor
table aliens with provision for penalty in the
event of the mainland would effectively solve
this problem.
TNDUBITABLY, that would encourage unwelcome aliens
subject to such penalty to provide their own means
of egress from country and would to discourage
their ilk from coming here in the future.
The Subterfuge of being without country should
be allowed give these people the status of indefinite
or permanent residence in this country
If they cannot be deported, they should at least be
effectively isolated from the society they seek to de-
stroy and should certainly be frustrated in such purpose
The American government has given little evidence
