There are a lot Of so called

very unusual to hear Of an athlete
who alone became so proficient N

That's Bill Maui, the 22-year-old

From the age Of u when h.

listed in an artillery cotps and is

doesn't feel it'll be a cinch to re-

are held. There are a lot of good
youngsters coming up, he says.
And he has lot of respect for the
playing of Fred Kovaleski, the

BOLIVIA is determined TO keep

military officers were also impli-

Some circles expressed surprise
at Bolivia's action. German inllu-
ence, especially in the army, was
heavy. But wherever Bolivian
sympathies may lie, the country's
primary concern ID in keeping it,
own independence. -.
Bolivia fought long and hard
for freedom. From 1909 to 1874
a bitter struggle was wsged
against the Spanish. Colombia and
Argentina supported the Bolivian
army. During this war, Miguel

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 12-be-
hind the screen: You can find
stories of international signifi-
canoe among the routine trade
news of Hollywood. Other day
several companies were sur
prised to receive checks for dis
tributiori Of theirs pictures in
German-occupied countries. In
most cases, these are the first
payments made, and they totaled
several thousand dollars.
The situation shows how anx-
ious Germany is about continu-
ing the pacification of her vassal
states; entertaining picture
might help to counteract some
of the growing unrest. And con-
tinued commercial relations
with Hollywood might ease the
pressure against German propa-
ganda in this hemisphere.
Charlie Chaplin has bought a

He wanted Welles to come along

PIRATES ALL

Ihere IS 0ut one way 10 make SuIe
thot help sent to Britain octuoliy
reaches Britoin," sold the New York
Times recently. There is but one way
to insure the freedom Of the secs. There
is but one way to protect our own do
mestic freedom. Thot ono way is to
send our coreoes to Britoin under the
cover of our own 'novol guns. and if
oorooes or ships ore interfered with by
Nozi pirates, shoot the pirotes down."
Thot point Of view is bosed on the
belief that Killers system Of total die
totorship and our system Of totol free
dom cannot live in the same world.
The triumph of HitIerism would newt
ably mean the end Of individual free
dom and free enterprise everywhere,
and the death of social and economic
democracy.
We ore spending billions to did
England in fighting aggression. and we
are spending more billions to defend
ourselves against its spreod to Amer
ico. All of this is being done in the
name of freedom and of the American
way Of life. The American people have
shown their stern resolution to make
any sacrifice to assure the perpetuo-
ton of this notion. Therefore, while we
are ormine oeoinst the enemy without,
we must likewise defend ourselves and
our institutions from the enemy within.
That means we must protect and
encourage the free enterprise system
the system which has given the Aneri-
can people the highest living and work.
ING standards ever known in the world.
Only in land where any man can
90 into any business he chooses and
prosper to the limit Of his talents and
energies, con the people know true
liberty. The private ownership Of prop
erty-whether it be q home, q form, q
factory or RAILROADS. the very foun-
dotion of freedom and democracy.
There are those in this country who
would force some form of socialism
upon the people, We have seen this op-
piled to the private electric industry
despite the foct that this industry is
vital to defense and has at oil times
proven its obility to meet any and oil
increases in demand for power. They
would notionolize the oil industry de-
spite the fpct thot this industry hos
given US So per cent Of totol world oil
produc tor ond it is oil which wins
war, no less thon guns and oirplones.
They would homstrng the cool indus
try--despite the fact thot this industry
is indispensable to defense and has
shown the finest spirit in cooperating
with government to meet emergency
demands. If such efforts succeed, all
business, big and little. will be the prey
of totoI government and freedom will
be but q meaningless word in the die
tionory.
Our whole foreign policy today is
bosed on the belief that liberty is in
danger, and thot every material re-
source Of the United Stotes must be
given to building arms to defend it,
Thot being the cose, our domestic
policy must have as its eordinof prin-
ciple the perpetuotion Of freedom at
home, and the maintenance Of the pri-
vote enterprise system which has made
that freedom possible.
