1t would be interesting to learn
just what act of Hitler would, in
the estimation of the opponents of
Americas defense policy, justify
counter measures on our part.
Senator Wheeler and others of
the isolation group characterized
our venture in Iceland as an ag-
greSSive war measure and prOphe-
sled that it would be followed by
cur occupation of POrtugals Azores
and Cape Verde Islands. Inciden-
tally, Portugal has been assured
that we were perfectly satisfied to
have those islands remain in neu--
trail hands, and could have no de-
signs on them as long as that con-
dition prevailed.
Suppose we had not occupied Ice
land with the consent and invita-
ton of the Icelanders, and that
Germany successfully. attacked the
British force there and took over
the country? Would the anti-ad-
ministratiOn Senators in such a
case insist that it was none of our
business? 1t is only a hop from
Iceland to Greenland and thence to
Canada. 1t requires no military
strategist to figure out the implied
menace to this country.
We are engaged in a huge effort
to protect this country against pos
sible extension of the Nazi con-
quests. Our occupation Of this
base before Germany could seize it
is just as plainly an element of ma
tiOnal defense as our doubling our
navy and building modern army.
We are pledged to withdraw our
forces at the termination of the
, emergency that brought our ma
rines, or whatever troops are re-
CURED there, to Iceland.
We don't want the Azores or
| Cape Verdes or Dakar, but we
might want them if it appeared
that Hitler meant to occupy them,
for then they would be a threat we
could not ignore.
1t is not a question of hemisphere
cal limitations. Holland and
France, both conquered by Hitler,
have possessions on this side of
the Atlantic. The Axis forces are
using French and Dutch ports as
their chief bases in their assault on
England. Doubles they would use

similar way, ostensibly as attack
ing points on the adjoining British
possessions, if they thought they
could get away with it.

phere. Does anybody suppose that
if Germany succeeds in total con
quest of Russia she will be stopped
| by a parallel of latitude in the
North Pacific? That Soviet thumb
bullying out in Boring Sea would be
most convenient in NaZi attack
on Vancouver and other Canadian
centers on the Pacific, so that Hit
Ter could still - if he gained Siber-
ia - insist that his campaign was
against the belligerent British En-
pire and was not threat against
the United States. Who, even
among the isolationists, would real
ly believe him?
The Icelandic enterprise is part
of the general theory of American
basis extending from Newfoundland

Powell for MGMs Lady Be
Good" 1t was Buttons, the dog
which dances with Miss Powell.
Buttons, which proved such a
find that a part was written for
him in the script, doesn't approve
of love scenes. This was discover
ed when Carroll put his arms
around Miss Powell for a scene.
Buttons, resting on a davenport,
uttered a low growl sprang, and
anchored his teeth in the back Of
CAROLS trousers. A second try by
Carroll produced the same results,
only the CANNES teeth sank into

From now on the action will have

making between Miss Powell and

R, R, EFFICIENCY
AT PEAK IN 1910

New high records in operating
efficiency weer attained by the rail
roads in 1910, according to COM
plete reports just received for that
year, ]. j. Pelley, president of the
Association of American Railroads
announced recently. Summarized,
the outstanding operating perform
ance of the railroads in 1910 fol-
lows:
!. The average amount of freight
carried per train was greater than
ever before on record.
2. Feight was transported over
the rails at an average speed never
surpassed, and approximately 62
per cent higher than 20 years ago.
8. Freight train performance per
hour was approximately twice as
good as that of 1921.
4. Freight locomotives attained a
new high mark in average daily
mileage.
5. Utilization obtained from
freight cars was greater than ever
before.
6. Fuel efficiency in freight serv-
ice was higher than. ever before.
7. Number of freight cars in need
Of repair was lowest on record.
The outstanding feature in rail
road performance was the increase
in the amount of freight that was
carried per train, that average in
1910 having been $40 tons compar-
ed with Sl3 tons in 1889, and SO4
tons in 1929, the year of heaviest
traffic in the history of the rail
roads.

BURNED CHILD BREADS FIRE

John B. Centrum, State Insur-

to safeguard children against fire.
TOO many times, in the course

has been fatally burned or disfig-

child played with matches. The
child got too near stove or a
heater. The child tipped over a
pot of boiling water. Usually when
we read such items in our papers,
we ask, What were that child
parents thinking Of? And yet, year
after year, these pitiful accidents
continue to occur. American par
ents think they are being careful
bnt obviously, they are not being
careful enough.

The time will come when thou
shall lift thine eyes
To watch a long-drawn battle in
the skies;
While aged peasants, too amazed

Stare at the flying feet of Won

Where winds and waves confess

Her ancient triumphs yet shall bow

And reign the sovereign of the
