tional danger later existed, the
,one-year period of training could
be extended by action Of the
Congress.
I do not believe that the dan
get to American safety is less
than it was one year ago when,
so far as the Army was con-
cerned, the United States was in
a woefully weak position. I do
not believe that the danger to
our national safety is only about
the same as it was year ago.
I do believe-I know-that the
danger today is indefinitely
greater. I do believe-I know
that in all truth we are in the
midst of a national emergency.
I am not asking the Congress
for specific language in specific
bill. But I can say frankly that
I hope the Congress will ack-
nowledge this national emer-
gency either for a specific period
or until revocation by the Con-
gress or the President.
The objective is. of course, the
all important issue. 1t is to au-
thorize continuance In service of
selectees, National Guard and
reserve components of the Army
and the retired personnel Of the
Regular Army, with the under
standing that, should the exigen-
cies of the situation permit. early

Because of the swiftness Of
modern events, I think the Con-

through 10 locks. Occasionally the
passengers scrambled out to walk
from lock to lock At other times
during the three-hour jaunt they
listened to Park Naturalist Donald

Mr.. Jett hopes one Of the old

President to take over for defense
purposes up to June 80, 1943, any
military or naval equipment, sup

thereof, or machinery tools, or ma

Property could be taken over only

had carried out from Tobruk a new

success and few losses.

British Say They Win
In Opening Round Of
v for Victory Drive
Campaign Is One Of Series
Of Experiments to Test
Sympothies on Continent
py the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, July Ala British
Broadcasting Corp. executive as
serted today that Britain's V-for-
Victory campaign to raise an under
ground army against Germany was
the first pitched propaganda battle
of the war" and the British appar-
emily "are winning it,"
The executive, European news ed
itor, N. F. Newsome, said the V drive
was one of series of experiments
to test the readiness of peoples of
occupied countries to accept lead
ership from London.
There win be other things to
worry the Germans" he added.
Mr.. Newsome said there would be
other leadership experiments until
one day we feel able to give the word
to the underground army in Europe
to go over the top for us in the final
offensive"
Britous claim "V'' army of mil
lions are modified throughout
German-conquered nations in a
whistling. tapping, sign-painting
campaign now aimed at Nazi ner-es.
Nazis Counterattack.
Mr.. NeWsome said the best indica-
tons of how the victory-V was
catching on came from the Germans
themselves in a feeble counter
attack" by attempting to embrace
the v as symbol for the old Ger
man word "Viktoria."
The British, he added, are turning
this against the Nazi propa gandists
by broadcasting word that, since the
German government approves of the
chalking up of V-signs, nobody need
hesitate about joining the campaign.
CThe German radio broadcast
today 500-word account of how
V-signs had appeared throughout
occupied territories. attributing
this to "the tremendous Viktoria
campaign" The broadcast was
recorded in New York by Colum-
bia Broadcasting System.
1.-The German motto" it said,
'Viktoria for Europe has taken
Holland, Belgium, Norway, the
protectorate (Czecho- Slovakia),
the Government General (Po-
lanO and France by storm"
On the various territories, 1t
cited the use of V on official cars,
trains. street cars, banners,
pamphlets.
t"Pins of the German symbol
have been distributed for the Red
Cross" in occupied Paris. it said.
THUS the German Viktoria
campaign is off to an excellent
start."0
Britains insist that the proper
German word for victory is not
"Viktoria," but "Sieg."

some detail to impress upon Con-
Eress that it would be "a tragic
error" to weaken the Army now by
returning the selectees, National
Guard and Reserve components to
civil life.
He pointed out that under present
law about two-thirds of the Army
will begin a rehabilitation this fall,
and said that if this occurs it would
be almost year before the effective
Army strength again reaches 1,OO0,-
600 men.
The international situation is so
grave now, he added, that I'VE would
be taking a grave national risk
unless the Congress were to make
1t possible for us to maintain our
present full effective strength and
during the coming year give training
to as many additional Americans as
we can
Insisting that schemes and plans
OF aggressor nations" definitely i'm
peril American security, Mr.. Roose-
velt declared that each elimination
by Germany of victim on the
other side of the world has brought
the issue of NaZi domination closer
to this hemisphere" and that I'VE
Americans cannot afford to specu-
late with the security of America. a"
He also pointed out that, since
the United States has a definite
responsibility to aid any other
American republic against foreign
attack, weakening the Army now
would be IAN act of bad faith toward
our neighbors."
Recordings Made.
Before the message was sent to
Congress, Mr.. Roosevelt read it into
microphones set up In the oval dip
lomatic reception room of the White
House as the radio networks made
recordings for broadcasting at vari-
GUS times during the afternoon and
night.
Stephen T. Early, White House
press secretary, explained that this
was done because the President re.
garded the information in his mes
sage as so important that he wanted
to get it to the people of America
in what was considered the most
effective way possible.
Rather than have his words broad
cast to the Nation in many other
voices, since he was not reading II
to Congress in person, Mr.. Roosevelt
considered it worth while to make g
recording himself for the radio net
works, Mr.. Early said.
Preface to Message.
In reading the message for the
radio recording, Mr.. Roosevelt
prefaced 1t with these words:
Because I feel that the message
sent to the Congress today should
be made available to as many OF
our citizens as possible, I am read
ing this message myself for the
information Of the people of Amer
lea"
Mr.. Early said the recording pro-
cedure was both convenient ano
economical for the radio companies
since they were at liberty to broad
cast the message in this way "wher-
ever it fits" in their programs ano
not interrupt scheduled commercial
broadcasts He added that he un-
derstood the message also would be
broadcast by short wave to listeners
throughout the world.
Columbia Broadcasting System
planned to put the recording or
its system at 2:30 pm. The Ma
tional Broadcasting Co. announced
1t would broadcast it shortly aftel
noon and the Mutual System sait
arrangements for its broadcastint
yould be made later.

Al, by the Progressive Farmers
Club, third.
Winners in the evening parade
were: North American-Nesbitt's
first: Grain Belt Beer, second
Banks and Theatre, third. The
evening parade was lighted with
flares and several of the floats
were enhanced with lights. Bombs
were shot from a truck in the par
ade.
Both parades were lead by the
color guard made up of World War
veterans of both the American Leg
ion and Veterans of Foreign Wars.
There were twenty-six units in the
parades, besides the clowns and
pony riders.
Three free shows were present
ed by radio stars from WDAY and
Ambrose and his dog circus. Drum
corps and bands entertained thru
out the afternoon and evening.
The celebration opened Tuesday
evening with a broadcast over
WDAY from the Armory in this
city. This was not largely attend
ed, but those who were present
state they enjoyed one of the finest
shows they had ever seen in Sank
Centre. The dance on Thursday
night was a total failure. The
dance on the night of the Fourth
was almost as successful financial
ly as expected.
The committee attempted to give
everything advertised and that plan
was lived up to without fail. This
was an expensive show and one
that will not soon be forgotten.
The stage entertainment was of
the best and the committee has
had many compliments on its eff
forts as far as the parades and
entertainment was concerned.
Members of the American Leg
ion Post supported the celebration
nobly and through the operation of
their stand contributed a hand
some amount to the committee.
Cooperation of the merchants and
most committee members was ex-
cellent, and they worked hard to
make the celebration a success.
This event was a credit to the
city, and aside from the fact that
the committee failed financially
there should be no reason for ugly
remarks or fault finding.
Melrose has a fine city band,
newly uniformed, and their work
was greatly appreciated. They did
a fine job for us. The Eagle Bend
drum corps and the Fergus Falls
ladies drum corps were also val
liable organizations in the celebra-
ton program.
