followed Mr.. McNutt, told the con-
ference the great material and
physical resources of the United
States are at the same time q source
of weakness.
ut is dangerous for us to rely too
much on our material equipment, on
guns and ships and airplanes and
on the mere number of our troops
If at the same time we forget that
no armaments are sufficient unless
they are backed and inspired by the
invincible spirit of the human SOUL"
ne said.
Danger to Defense.
The most serious danger to our
defense is that the average citizen
is not sufficiently aroused to his own
responsibility for the defense of his
country, he asserted.
Most of U.s." he said, 'have not
yet faced this fact. Through our
representatives in Congress we have
voted huge sums of money for the
defense program, but most of us
have not yet dedicated ourselves
actively, not passively-to that de-
fense. The great task of spiritual
rearmament yet remains to be done"
Secretary Stimson asked that the
meeting today throw out warning
to all those "secret enemies who hope
that apathy or disunion will cause a
breach in our defense"

Dialing-for Death

Philadelphia Record)
 It is common knowledge that Germans and cti- zens of the occupied countries are punished for listening to foreign broadcasts.
 Yesterday however The Record-New York Times Foreign Service sent the following, from Berlin:
 For the first time, the press announced today that traitor been executed for regularly listen ing to foreign news broadcasts. The man was Jo- ham Wild 49 who was convicted by special court in Tuernberg- -Fuerth'
 Think what this means. man murdered for the "crime" of listening to radio broadcasts from outside Germany. Knowledge of truth death war rant in the Third Reich!
 The German Government itself announces the execution This is not propaganda; it is official from Nazi headquarters
 Intent of this Nazi announcement is, of course to frighten others out of listening to what the rest of the world has to say Yet in its effect, it is an official confession that long years of Naz barbarism have not yet quenched the will for freedom among the German people

FRENCH SHIPS IN U. S.

It is not supposed to be known, but the State Department recently OK'd a proposal from the Vichy Government to send several French ships now in American waters back to Africa carrying U. 8. supplies to the French
 The State Department figured that if the ships were sent, it might win over General Weygand and se- cure aid for the British. The British also OK'd the deal. providing the French sent an equal number of bot toms back to the U. s. A.
 However, the Maritime Commis- sion put its foot down. It absolutely refused to permit French ships to leave American waters. They are still here.
 The Maritime Commission is made up of sailors and business men, but perhaps they had watched State De- partment diplomacy with vichy Perhaps they remembered Colonel Bill Donovan's useless trip to woo General Weygand; the shiploads of food, sent to woo Vichy; the fact that French military supplies in Syria were sent to help the Ger mans against the British in Iraq. { NOTE: Even some State Depart ment officials now admit that the worst mistake the United States made was ever to recognize the Vichy Government of Marshal Pe- tain.

STEEL PRIORITIES

Proposed solution of this bottle neck is mandatory steel priorities, now possible under the newly enact ed Priorities Act. The auto industry would get only proportional share of the metal left over after alloca- tions had been made for all defense needs.
 Defense orders would not have to wait their turn. Instead, steel. out put would be apportioned arbitrarily on the basis of defense requirements first; the rest divided among con- sumer industries. Incidentally, this last allocation would be in the hands of Henderson, no lover of the auto makers.
 Under such controls it is possible that auto output would be slashed by as much as 75 per cent. There are some defense chiefs who contend that if cut of this size had been made three months ago, there would be no steel shortage now.

The French news agency Havas-Tele- mondial is getting the squeeze from the State Department for dissem- ination of alleged Axis propaganda. The State Department, which con- trols French frozen funds, is shut ting them off to Havas. Ben Cohen has spurned the job of SEC Chairman, will return to London instead.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do rot c0npew
TUESDAY, JUNE "A

This is an unimportant day in planetary direction. It is fortunate for promoting plans, but leaders in important activities may be de- layed or obstructed.
 Heart and Home: Increased. work for the public veal will engage women of all classes as midsummer draws near. During vacation days wise householders will reduce ex- penses and prepare for coming months when economies are neces- sary in the promotion of national defense which will entail taxes and greatest demands upon the average citizen. The cost of living inevita- ply must increase. Families wi 1t h foresight will curtail usual expenses now and will practice simplicity in entertaining their friends.
 Business Affairs: Housing prob- lems which have increased in many manufacturing centers will extend to prominent cities where rentals must rise. Again housekeeping methods will be altered to conform with changing conditions, social and financial. Hotels and boarding places will be largely patronized by floating population, swollen by numbers of European refugees. While preparing to face future exi- gencies families should not neglect summer recreationS.
 National Issues. Tolerance should be practiced, although sinister sug- gestions are disseminated by we'll meaning citizens and fifth column agents. Unity of thought and &C., tion. is imperative as foreign war centers shift and perilous policies appear to be obligatory for h e United States. Famous visitors will contribute anxieties to the complex relations existing among the na- tions of the Earth. True patriots will demonstrate democracy by giv- ing to the utmost of their service and their material resources.
 International Affairs: Mexico is to give evidence of friendliness with its northern neighbor by splendid cooperation, while many tourists from the United States will explore the country. Gradually, the Western Hemisphere is to concentrate power and economic interests. Opposing political parties may cause temper ary internal difficulties as the sum- mer closes, but the stars seem to promise growing sympathy and un- derstanding.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of good luck unless wise procedure be dis placed by rash performance. Decep- tion in business or domestic matters is probable.
 Children born on this day prob ably will succeed in one of the ar- tistic professions. Bohemian friends may become handicaps unless con- mon sense guides in mature life.

While the dictatorships spill anothers blood. the democra- cies must store up weapons to spill whole lot more of it.
 One can we'll imagine the thoughts of Josef Sta lin today. He kicked away the opportunity to de- stroy his greatest enemy, just the democracies almost did. The German military power of l941 never would. risen but for the benevolent asss tance Russia in the late lamented friendship pact of 1939 Stalin made this possible. Now the war will destroy him. In the sense, Mussolini made strong Germany possible when he listened to the blandshments which kept Italy behind the Alps when Hitler seized Austria. This strong Ger many which he helped build has long since de- stroyed Mussolini Today he joins weakly with his ally in the attack on Russia, though all he has to contribute to that attack brave words, which probably were written for him in Berlin. Hitler is
 tll using Mussolin particularly just now in an at tempt to divide American opinion the subject of the newest turn in the war. The Italians whoop about holy communism, hoping to con- vince Americans-Catholics especially-that the Axis is pretty fine thing after all. But Americans will not be deceived The Italians joined Germany for cowardly assault upon the Catholic nation of France while Germany was still an ally of Russia There nothing holy about Hitlers warfare. He is fighting Russia because the campaign serves his ends He will fight us later-if give him the opportunty-for the reason.
 It is up to not to give Hitler chance to break out of Europe. Aid to Britain must be in- creased. So must aid to China, now that all Rus sian aid will cease. Japan must not be allowed to move an inch.
 It is time for the United States to get tough. Because countrymen, this is mighty tough world.

STATE FARMERS
ARE NOW FACING
MANY PROBLEMS

Maryland farmers are confronted
with additional problems in meeting
the demands for increased production
of certain commodities that are most
needed in the defense program be-
cause of the continued drought, ac-
cording to DR.. T. B. Symons, director
of the University of Maryland extern
sion service.
Dairymen and stockmen have been
forced to begin using their supply of
silage at an early date. and they will
also find it necessary to feed more
heavily of grain feeds in order to
keep production of their animals from
dropping off, DR.. Symons states. He
advises, however, that they plan care
fully to prevent any slump in milk
production by their cows, or slowing
down in growth of their meat ami
mails, as result of the lack of pas
lures.
The problems are not confined to
the present, or the immediate future,
DR.. Symons points out. Feed that is
being used now might have served to
carry the stock in the late winter and
early spring, if pastures had carried
the load at this time. 1t will be nee
essary, he states, to give more than
usual attention to planning for best
use of the feed supply available in
order to keep the stock at a high lev
ell of production until feed produced
next year can relieve the situation.
An extensive educational program
is being planned by the Extension
Service, DR.. Symons says, with a view
to helping farmers plan ways and
means for meeting the quotas of pro-
duction asked for in the defense pro-
gram. Milk, eggs, tomatoes and green
peas for canning, and farm gardens
are the products for which the need
is most urgent at present and for
which Maryland farmers are asked to
increase their production in 1912, ac-
cording to DR.. Symons.
