round top, cut from plywood with
a keyhole saw, screwed in place.
The skirt of the cover was cut in
a perfect circle which was marked
on the fabric by using a tack and
string and pencil for compass. A
small circle the size of the table
top was then marked in the center.
This was covered with the plain
material with the raw edge turned

WORLD WAR IL:
Ne1U Angle

The many-faceted chances of war,
which had seen Hitler reaching an
other peak of successes, suddenly
seemed to veer more to the British
American side following the dra-
matte conclusion of the Roosevelt
Churchill talks at sea.
Not only did the eight-point pact
between the two executives strike
with a powerful sound across the
front pages of the globe, but the
promise of aid to Russia was re-
portedly based on the assurance felt
by Britain and the United States
that the Soviet troops would be able
to hold the Germans at bay through
out the winter.
Indeed, Mr.. Roosevelt on his re-
turn to this country, made such a
positive statement, declaring that
consumers goods" such as food
stuffs, would be made available for
Russia during the rest of the sum-
mer; that it was assumed the Rus
sian winter would bring at least a
partial halt to hostilities, and that
more substantial aid could be made
ready by Britain and the United
States for the opening of the spring
campaign.
All in all, there was quiet con-
fidence as to the outcome of the
war, and its continuance through a
considerable period of time, that
was in sharp contrast to the feelings
of menace and of instability that
had been marking the news at the
outset of the Presidents dramatic
vacation trip" on the Potomac.
Beside this sort of feeling through
out Britain and the United States
and particularly since the President
said he did not believe this country
was "any nearer in the war" than
it was before the conference, the
rumbling criticism of congressman
and the byplay of press criticism
over mere matters of pictures and
the identity of reporters at the
scene seemed small potatoes"
Because Churchill presumably
was being well informed by the
British military mission in Moscow
as to the real carrying on of the
war in the East, and if the Presi-
dent was so broadly confident OF
the continuance of the Soviet de-
tense, it was reasoned that he must
have good authority.

NEW ROUTE:
For Planes

What was declared by the White
House to be "an important step to
speed delivery of planes to the Brit
ish forces in the Middle East came
when the President announced a
new plan for ferrying aircraft to
Africa.
Under terms of the arrangement
worked out with Pan American Air
ways, planes needed by the British
will be flown from the U. S. to Ber-
muda, thence to Natal, Brazil and
across the Atlantic to Africa. Pan
American will return the fiers to
the United States.
1t was pointed out in the Presi-
dents statement that the route was
so arranged that at no time would
the U. S. fiiers pass through the
zone of actual warfare"
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1941-08-28
PRESS:
Its Reaction

The press reaction to the Roose-
elt-Churchill conference and the
eight-point statement was far from
unanimously favorable.
The criticisms, however, ranged
all the way from an echoing OF the
Berlin reaction that it was poor
plagiarism on Wilson's IA points, +"
down to a milder reproach that
Roosevelt should have risked his life
on the battlefield of the Atlantic.
In the main, however, the leading
independent papers of the country
agree with the philosophy and the
idealism of the statement, though
almost all of them agreed that it
was a carefully timed and dramat-
ically staged counter peace often
sive'' against that expected to be
launched by Hitler now that his
campaign against Russia was about
one-third accomplished.
There were many smaller side
lines of criticism, however. Some
papers had headlines about zone
way censorship" apparently believ-
ing that certain British newspapers
and press associations had been
permitted to be represented.
Most of this died a quick death
when it appeared that the London
papers were much upset by the fact
that the American press, not repre-
sented by photographers, got the
pictures first.
Newsreel men expressed annoy
ance when these pictures showed a
movie man in action, and the fol-
lowing day, when they saw the
movie reels, they primly announced
that they were rotten job, the
work of a frank amateur" appar-
ently-"Off center out of focus and
under speed"-and that 1900 out of
1000 feet had to be thrown away.
So it seemed that America, after
the few days of keen excitement and
still keener criticism and some
praise, was quietly going back to
its job of making munitions and
training soldiers, and that the best
luck of all went to the people of
Rockland, Maine, for they had a
chance to turn out in force and
cheer.
And to questions of correspond
ents as to how Ensign Roosevelt
and Captain Roosevelt had hap
pened to be in on the conference,
the President just smiled and said
it was accidental"

JAPAN:

Official Washington was given a
good idea of the narrow peace mar
gin maintained by present jap
anese-American relations when a
ship sent to japan for the purpose of
evacuating somewhere between 120
and 400 American nationals was re-
fused permission to enter a port.
The japanese announced that
they would let the ship in if its
only purpose was to return the 20
U. S. officials involved, but that the
private citizens and missionaries,
would have to remain in Japan.
The state department, not wish
ing to magnify the Importance of
the incident, said it was believed
that the Nippon government had
some thought of a sort of "ex-
change" of the American nationals
for japanese here.
But state department officials did
not hide their chagrin over the stu
alton, and said that it made it i'm
possible for them to quiet the natu-
raj alarm felt by relatives of
Americans in Japan for their safety,
but also for other Americans domi-
ciled in other parts of the world
under Japanese domination.
