POSITIVE ACTION

The history of the war to date is in large part record-for democratic peoples tragic record of opportunities missed of hesitation to utilize stra- tegic chances of reluctance to act while there was time The United States should learn from these errors of sister democraces admitting that lethargy is the most common shortcomng of democratic state.
 Norway was overrun because its leaders could not make up their minds enough to cast their lot with Britain Britain likewise erred in failing to seize the coast of Norway while there time. France erred in failing to take the initiative while Poland remained useful ally. Holland and Belgium erred tragicaly in trusting to their neutrality" in stead of developing cose-knt military relationship with nearby democracies.
 Turkey has exposed herself to seizure by stand ing istlessly aside while her neighbors have been attacked. Britain has made her position inn mensey harder in the Near East by neglecting in months past to establish strong positions in Iraq and by politely respecting the neutrality of Syria
 Perhaps it will develop in few months that Britain has made a strategic blunder in respecting the shortsghted neutrality of Ireland. Certainly Germany in like position would not handicap herself by sedulously avoiding any of Irish bases Ger many acts simply from military motives, based on military logic. That is a great element in her strength. Britain and her fallen Allies have acted from the scrupes of civilized democracies that feel bound respect the wishes of other neutral
 The United States today confronts very closely analogous problem. It French possessions being that Germany's longrange objective is to gain mand of the Mediterranean and then the Atlantic by seizing the bases shore that give such com mand of the waters

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do rot compel"
SATURDAY, JUNE, IA

AuVerSe aspects QOmlnate today when Labor again comes under sin- ister sway. There is a sign read as presaging direction from the United States Government in a period of conflict between. employ CTS and employees. s s
 Heart and Home: As life appears more and more serious, persons of all ages will return to careful con- duct from which are eliminated many customs recently accepted by pleasure-loving men and women. Drinking and smoking among so- ciety folk will be less general. Girls will find it fashionable to be de- corous in words and manners. The far-reaching exigencies of war will cast somber influences upon peo- ples of all nations. Social as well as property values will change. Prosperity in the United States ap- pears assured for several years and it will be wisely enjoyed.
 Business Affairs: Marvellous in- ventions that appear to perform miracles are prognosticated.. Won ders as great as the radio and the ships of the air will be introduced successfully. Science also will take the place of guess-work in many practical quests for mineralsior the location of hidden springs of water Chemistry is to contribute greatly to the knowledge and the welfare of the human race. New lines of manufacture will bring fortunes to enterpriSing businessmen.
 National Issues: Realization and application of the ideals of liberty i and justice for all" will be, ,encour- aged more and more as citizens of the United States recognize their advantages. Adjustments that as- sure cooperation between capital and labor will assure better living conditions for wage e-earners2o of all ranks. According to the seers the economic revolution, long in pro- cess of development will reach it's goal this year by means of wise diplomacy and intelligent Govern ment policies.
 International Affairs: Because history in the making is different from that of the past, the clement of surprise will dominate in com ing months, as it hasesin recent events. This is time to analyze our own faults and weaknesses ir appraising our enemies, the seers declare. Race prejudices and mem- ories of ancient hurts should be overcome. Japan is more valuable as friend than as an enemy. Ori- ental pride and ambitions should be weighed in the scales that meas ure discrimination against an ex. banding population. There is a sigr read as presaging decisive move. ment in the Orient before the enc of the month. .'~

N cisive- crossroads the United States has faced since the Civil War perhaps in all our? history. It is the crossroads of whether to de- clare war.
 The seriousness of the British situation has been known for a long time. But never has it been so graphically and so distressingly painted as by Ambassador Winant. who returned for the express pur- pose of warning that the driblets of munitions we have been sending Britain would not save her; tn q t speeches would not save her; that nothing would save her except the full force of the American fleet. GIVE UP OR BE BOMBED OUT'
 This is what causes such sleepless nights at the White House. Tn e President knows that the Ameri- can people do not want war. He knows that the country is. not yet prepared for war Yet he also knows that probably nothing short of declaration of war will stiffen British morale, give a sufficient shock to German morale, and elec- trify U s. labor and industry into patriotic defense production.
 He also knows, that the decision must come soon. Because Hitler is out to administer the coup de grace to England within six weeks Be cause after that American helI may be too late. After that the British fleet may be crippled ;l gone After that the United State! may have the vast reaches of tht Atlantic and the Pacific to guare all by itself. After that, finally the Monroe Doctrine will not b, worth the paper it is written on.
 That is the reason for the gloom in high places.
 The squirrels may frolic on tn, White House lawn. Lovers ma. bask in the moonlight along tn Potomac. But over the Whit House hovers the grim realization that as far bulwarking Grea Britain is concerned, it is now O never.

How Regal put the X-RAY
on shoe fitting!

You needn't expect any fancy words in this!
I'm just a Regal Shoe salesman - not
professional ad.wrter! But Id like to get
a few things off my chest.
For instance, I've known for a long time
that a lot of wcll-drcsscd men were going
around wearing brutally misftted shoes.
The funny thing was, most of them didn't
even know it! They didn't realize that a
lot of these aches and pains they felt came
from examining their feet into shoes that
were too short. or too narrow, or both. They
didn't stop 10 think that poorly fitted shoe
can't possibly hold it, shape.
Anyway, l hne,c it, but | didn't have
proof So the Regal Shoe Company went
after the facts with an N.RAY MACHINE
In Office buildings and industrial plants,
they X-raycd hundreds of feet of men with
their shoes on. Showed the position of the
bones right in the shoes And according TO
nationally famous foot specialists, those
X.ray photographs clearly indicated that
H4NOUTOF3 is ,ccGring shoes iChich,
on account Of improper fitting, may result

in serious physical and nervous ailments -
euen though they seem to cause only slight
discomfort
That's true even of men who wear the
highest priced shoes.
And that why Regal has spent more than
100000, and 10 years ofresearch, to develop
Prescription FIT"-the exclusive fitting
system that measures and records the length
and width of BOTH feet at once, in SITTING,
STANDING and STEPPING POSITIONS. -. The
cOrlfs most nearly perfect fitting system.
There's more to Regal Shoes than fit and
comfort! There's authentic style! There's
quality of leather and workmanship! And
there world-beating uaiue-because Regal
sells only through 81 Regal Shoe Stores at
one coast-to-coast price, S5.95. And remem-
bcr-because Regal standards Of quality are
never lowered, the Regal price - always as
low as possible - has always been subject
