shipping to the furthermost longi-
tudes of the Western Hemisphere.
DEFENSES BUILT
Work Of terrifying the Arctic
island has been moving at a swift
pace ever since Britain took IT into
protective custody following the
German invasion of Denmark.
For more than a year Canadian
and other empire troops have been
engaged in constructing landing
fields, gun emplacements, bases for
smaller naval craft, communica-
tons and barracks. 1t is assumed
by government officials that these
facilities will be turned over to the
Americans.
Fjords and a rugged coastline
lend themselves to bases for sea-
planes and smaller naval craft
acting as protective cover from
enemy observation or action.
Meanwhile. war department law
yers are investigating whether
Idraftees and national guard units
can be detailed to the island for
training.
Vague definitions of the limits OF
the Western Hemisphere--outside
which these units may not operate
under terms of the Selective Serv.

Proverbs, w, 8.
FRIENDS and fellow citi-
4 Zens,-I do not want to
bore you with dissertations
on vivisectiOn.
II, however, you possess
any consideration for the
hideOus sufferings of animals,
and II you have a realizing
sense that the persistent prac-
tice of pure sadism will de-
base your fellow men, i do not
think you will be bored.
The irascible gentlemen
who FASTENED insOlently to at
tack those good citizens who
believe that the United States
should be at least abreast Of
other civilized nations I'm hu-
name sentiment are going to
be answered in these columns.
Not by your humble cOlum-
mist because the vivisectiOn
bund in its arrogance and in
its Impotence of any restraint
would probably change the
issue to a personal one.
They would doubtless as
sert--and rightly enough
that your columnist is an un-
important person of no espe-
cial scientific standing and of
no authoritative position.
And they would probably
de- lare untruthfully Of
course but insistently-that
his facts were distorted and
his opinions biased, and that
he had been Unanswered"
into an unworthy attitude
through his own ignorance
and weakness, and apparently
through the evil Vaccinations
Of the anti-vivisection soci-
cites.
These criticisms can hardl,
be made of the great people
who shall hereinafter be
quoted.
And II will be found that
these men and women Of great
minds and hearts demand
that vivisectiOn be stopped
ALTOGETHER.
They are not so conserva-
tive as your small columnist
who merely timidly suggests
that America take its proper
place in the ranks of civilized
nations and legislate to pre-
vent "indiscriminate" vivisec-
ton.
We will present i'm sequence
the utterances of leading ply
sicians to explain what vivi-
section actually Is and to
reveal what vivisectionists
actually are.
Then, to indicate what the
attitude of the vivisectiOnists
towards the public Is. and
Finally, to make clear the
necessity for public supervi-
sion.
In adjoining columns will
be found protests from some
of the leading intellectuals OF
the world against the brutal
crime of wantonly and need
lessly torturing, animals il
the name of sO-called science.

The new order, bringing the to-

Face Jury in
Liquor Trial

The Federal Court jury in the
trial of COP National Committee
man Frank D. Mckay and IL other
defendants accused of using the
m / Is to defraud distilleries Of
$500, 900 began its deliberations at
10:45 a. m. today.
Judge Arthur F. Lederle began
his charge 10 the jury at 1852 a. m.
and the jurors filed into the Jury
room SO minutes later. The jury
consists of eight women and four
men.
They were equipped with ballots
bearing the heading "All Guilty"
"All Not Guilty" and a third type
which contained the names Of the
defendants with space to Indicate
individual guilt or innocence and
on what counts of the eight-count
indictment.
At HIS a. m: the juryTequested
a copy of the indictment, all of the
checks that were introduced in evil
dence, all of the income tax re-
turns of defendants entered in
evidence and all letters which the
government accuses the Defend
ants of mailing in furtherance of
the alleged conspiracy.
DENIES PROSECUTIONS
The prosecution ended its case
with speech to the jury by VIII
liam w. Barron, chief Of the ins
dictment section of the Depart
ment of Justice, who replied to
defense charges that the defend
ants were being prosecuted be.
tcduse of political affiliations.
IL am not pleading for q YER
dict of guilty for all of the de-
fendants," Barron declared. "If
the jury assumes that any evil
dence has been presented to
show that any OF the defend
ants withdrew from this
conspiracy, 1 believe such de-
PENDANTS should be freed.
CITES TRIMBLE
This may have been the case
OF James Trimble."
(Trimble, a defendant, Is said
by the government to have been
a partner in the Duo Sales Com
pany. a dummy corporation al
legged to have been backed by
McKay.)
"From the evidence Il appears
that this conspiracy could not
have continued without the
support of Fred Ehrmann,~
Barron continued.
(Ehrmann, also a defendant, was
at one time purchasing agent
and secretary of the Michigan
liquor control commission
MISTRIAL DENIED
Either Ehrmann was q will
ing member of the conspiracy or
loyal stooge of Frank Mckay.
III you find he was only q stooge,
IL Is your duty to acquit him."
Barron's arguments were pre-
ceded by defense motion for q
'lmiStrial which was overruled by
Judge Lederle. The motion was
made by Defense Atty. Fred r.
Walker and was based on the fact
that Henry C. O'Donnell. head Of
the prosecution. referred to tho
failure of the defense to summon
any witnesses.
j Co-defendants with Kay,
Ehrmann and Trimble are William
III. McKeighan. former Flint
mayor; John II. Marolf of Iron
; Mountain, politician; Louis FL.
