New York Times-"In ordering
the occupation the President has
acted as commander in chief of the
Army and the Navy, and no one
can successfully dispute his author
ity to do so or question his duty to
take such protective measures as
the situation seems to him to re-
uuire. We may also be sure
that no fine-spun theories about
the geography of Iceland, and no
academic debate as to whether 1t
lies lust inside or outside what we
call The Western Hemisphere will
prevent the overwhelming mass of
our own people from giving full ap-
proval to the course the President
has followed. ."
New York Herald -Tribune-"Here
again is action of the sort for which
the times have been so desperately
calling. This is strictly a de-
fensive move. But it is dynamic
defense. II is defense that
moves hundreds of miles into the
NaZis' pretended war zone, unmind-
full of the threats with which they
have sought to sustain it. because it
understands the vital character of
the objective II the full pos
sibilities of this new move are only
utilized now with firmnesS and

Kansas City Star-The sending of
American forces to Iceland on invi-
tation Of the Icelandic government
is a sound measure of a national de-
fense. The seizure of Iceland by
Germany would constitute threat
to Greenland and to the North
American continent.

come manufacturers and merchants.
And in their advertising they describe
and offer their goods. The banks and
the finance companies and the power
companies and others add their help
by telling us how we may finance new
things we want or save up to buy them.
Over in the ''Classifed' section of the
newspaper we find offers of jobs and bids
for work by which we can earn the money
to buy the things we want.
Put all this together and you have Busi-
ness, American style. Keep it together and
you find millions of nice folks with nice,
comfortable, wel-eqmpped homes. There
is still room for improvement Our freedom
of speech and freedom of choice in America

st. Paul Pioneer Press-The
right OF the United States to
keep the ocean open in its own de-
tense is every bit as good as Hit
lers right to close it by acts of
piracy, and a great deal better un-
der the teaching of international
law.
There are some Americans who
doubtless will feel that America
ought not to press its own right to
self-defense to the point of risk
ing conflict with Hitler's self
asserted right of aggression-but
not many.

VI didn't kno1v anything about home
insulation, automatic furnaces, elec-
trio washing machines, radios, modern
furniture, automobiles.
Such things, if they were invented
at all, were "new."
How does the news of new things
travel? How is it that one day all
our homes lack some useful piece of
equipment and almost the next day
millions are buying and using the
new product?
Along comes a newspaper. 1t tells
Mr.. and Mrs. u. S. A. all about new
things. This is part of the service a
paper renders, just as much as is the
reporting of fires, elections or base
ball games.
