IT'S WAR OF TRADE
He added a new note in viewing
the war as one motivated purely
by economic considerations.
II can't see this as a war of
ideals" he said, but as a clash OF
economic systems. With Germany's
system operating in world trade
and South American marketsl-the
United States would have a rival

all there is to it.

CCC Men Subject

Young men interested in enrolling
in the CCC were assured Friday
that they are not subject to special
draft into the armed forces of the
United States. County Welfare Di-
rector Phil Holman said.
CCC men, however, are subject TO
the same selective service regula-
tions as any other young men of
comparable age. The special train
ing offered in CCC work gives the
enrollees greater chance of OBJ
tanning a better paying key job
when reaching draft age than the
men not SO trained, Holman said
Men now may re-enroll in the CCC
in three months instead of six
months as formerly required.
Applications now are being ac-
cepted by Holman for the May 20
