Announcement Due

Washington officials made no
effort to deny the reported meet
ing, nor did the President himself,
who has been made aware OF the
widespread and persistent reports.
Some quarters advanced the
opinion that the reported meeting
was the democracy'S own war of
nerves against the Axis, while
others insisted that the President
shortly would have another dra-
matte announcement to make TO
the world. once Churchill was
safely back in England.

to Hitler or CD to help Britain
with naval vessels and aircraft in

Remember the outcry back in 1884
when President Roosevelt diverted
2SS million dollars for the construc-

For The Boys In Camp

The campaign is on raise funds throughout the
country for the United Service Organizations which
have taken upon themselves to provide recreauonal
and religious for the rapidly lncreas
ing numbers of boys in the army camps scattered
throughout the country. AS has been pointed out
many these camps located small cities OF
but few thousand population, and when 1t comes
that the number of soldiers in camps is many times
the normal population of that city or town, It can be
readily how inadequate are the recreatlonal and
religious facilities. The government has noted this
condition about to erect recreational
centers each large camp, where the boys can
read relax play games, and engage in restful activi
ties during his leisure time and also place where
he meet his parents and other visitors who may
to camp. Our local boys in camp, along with
thousands other boys will keenly appreciate such
accommodations.
The movement to raise money with which to equip
these recreationa is nationwide with Thomas
E. Dewey of New York, national chairman. The plan
is to raise 100000 600. Scattered throughout the
country this will not fall heavily upon any In
this county the quota is only $500, and one is
pected to give more than dollar. The American Le-
gion has charge of the local campaign The drive is
a most worthy one, and the response should be met
literally and warm-heartedly.

Aluminium Drive

AS was noted in this paper last week. H j. Leggett
has been named county chairman for collection Of
old aluminium for the federal government in its
defense program When the county commissioners
made the appointment, Mr. Leggett had not been con-
suited in the matter, but that did not make any diff
ference him. he is feeling that 1t is his
patriotic duty so do For his services Mr. Legget
will not draw penny; either directly or indirectly
And in this connection will also state that the gov
ernment is not paying anything for the aluminium
this fact should not keep those who have ole
aluminium ware from gathering it up.
During the World drive was made to collect
walnuts to be used to make gas masks. This time il
is for old aluminium, which is badly needed in the
manufacturing Of arpanes. Let hope the response
will be generous.

1T DEPENDS ON HOW
YOU MEASUR RE

Ex-president Mr. Hoover SCOTS
at the japanese peril-stating that
Japan is 5000 miles away from con-
tinental United States. Well, Alas
ka is part of the United States AMI
Toxic is not much farther FROM
Alaska than is San Francisco. If
Russia is conquered by the Hitler
legions, the Pacific shores Of Siberia
might become either Hitler out
posts, or be taken over by Japan,
whose itch for conquests in that
direction perhaps exceeds her desire
to spread out to the Dutch East
Indies. and the rest of Oceania.
AS Walter Lippman phrased the
situation recently: The question
posed by the Russian war is wheth-
er ports and airfeldS of eastern ST.
IBERIA are to remain in Independent
Russian hands, or are to be seized
by Japan. or are to be controlled by
some sort of puppet government un-
der Nazi, or Japanese, or Nazl-Jap-
anese control"
That is how Mr.. Hoover's 5000
mile security belt shrinkS in the
light of present possibilities. Some
of the Russian air bases are WITHIN
a hundred miles of our Alaskan sta
fions. Actually, the easternmost
point of Russian possession and the
westernmost outpost of the United
States are not much farther apart
than Baltimore and Washington.
Perhaps in view of the potentiali-
ties of the Russo-German war, the
Importance of material aid to the
Soviet Outfit may be appreciated.
1t amounts to a great deal more
than our distaste for Bolshevism or
Bolsheyic habits, customs or eX-
cesses-which have no more to do
with what the defense Of America
demands, than Joe Stains. pipe or
complexion.

STRAIGHT FROM WASHINGTON
(By Stephen M. Young, Congress
man-at-Large, Ohio)

When thieves fall out, honest
men get their due. When interna-
tional bandits fall out, peaceful ma
tions profit. The longer Hitler's s
and Stains forces battle, the better
the opportunity for western hemis-
phere defense. The Hitler-Stalin
fight gives this country a breathing
spell. This may not be very long
breathing spell Should Russia be-
come helpless Hitler might then
sweep Great Britain from the Medi-
terranean and force her to sue for
peace Many congressional leaders
feel that very shortly the issue con-
fronting our government will be to
encourage Great Britain to make
peace with Hitler or to help Great
Britain in the war with a purpose
to defeat Hitler
Are the Wiseacres So Wise?
Our military wiseacres in Wash
ington claim that Russia will be
made helpless by September and
