THE
AMERICAN
STORY

Much Of the talk nowadays is
OF the commodity shortages
caused by war priorities. In a
world at war, military 3
necessarily come first and civilian
needs second.
Not enough attention has been
paid to the remarkable fact that,
in spite of the magnitude of our
arms effort, the American people
have been caused so little discom-
fort.
Everywhere else in the world
the strictest kind Of ~rationing is
the rule. Only In the United States
is there abundance Of all the ne
cessities and many OF the luxuries.
That is partly due to the fact
that this is a rich country, posses
sed Of b%oundless But
resources in the raw are of value
to no one. They must be pro-
duced, ~processed, manufactured,
distributed, before they can con
tribute to economic and social
life.

For Some a Thanksgiving E,

We ar again in the season when men give thanks for benefits
and blessings. That is WISE and JUST. Yet this year more than ever,
somber thoughts must mingle with our thanks.
As a people, we Americans give thanks for a blessing that
IS a blessing because it has been denied to SO many others-for having up
to now been spared the ravages of war.
AS a community, ur Illinois Central territory has been
blessed by good crops and a considerable revival of indusHy. We hope both
nay continue with profit eventually on a sounder basis than that of the
present emergency.
As~ra1roaders, W who work on the Illinois Central are thank
full that we have been able up to now to meet the test of greatly increased
demands for III service. We thank the shippers and receivers of freight
who quickly loaded and promptly released our cas.
YET WE KNOW that further tests III coming and that the
railroads will have to be assured the materials they need to keep going
AND WE KNOW, TOO, that one reason our task up to now has been
Iiehtened has been because of dslocaHons of industry incident to national
defense, and we deplore the resulting unemployment and losses.
Therefore, in giving thanks for what we have, let us resolve
to work toward a future which will even more certainly bless and safe
guard us all

George Sees Move
On Russia PRECEDING
Invasion OF Britain
Senator Believes Nuzis
Are Planning TO Close
Eastern Door First
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Chairman George of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee ex-
pressed the belief today that Ger
manys concentration OF troops on
the Russian border was a move to
CLOSE her Eastern door" before at
tempting an invasion Of Britain.
Discussing reported troop move
ments in Eastern Europe with news
men, Senator George said Germany
did not trust Russia and realized,
If she did not obtain economic con-
cessions from the Soviet and If an
invasion of Britain failed. that Sta
lin might move against the Reich.
He said he believed Germany saw
a long war ahead. that she needed
more oil and wheat from Russia,
and that Nazi divisions were being
sent TO the border as a threat to
enforce such economic demands.
Sees Russia Acceding.
Russia will probably give in 70
these demands" he added. If she
feels she can do so without causing
an internal uprising"
Discussing recent suggestions that
the United States take over the
French island Of Martinique in the
Caribbean as a precaution against
TOO close cola abora ton" between
Mo 1i T-arFo1 nv ard tho Nlrh,-
ernment, the foreign relations chair
man said he was definitely against
such a move at this time barring an
open threat Of Axis action in the
Atlantic.
He also thought II would be "un-
wise and would be using little COM
mon sense if the United States
moved against Dakar, French West
Africa or Portugals s Azores and Cape
Verde Islards on the other side Of
the Atlantic.
Even If the Nazis did seize Daksr
George said they would constitute
only a nuisance value and not
real threat to American shores.
Differs With President.
On this point Senator George
apparently differed with the stand
the President has taken In his
fireside chat May 81 Mr.. Roosevelt
said specifically that control or
occupation by Nazi forces OF anv
of the islands of the Atlantic would
jeopardize the immediate safety OF
portions of North and South
America ."
Senator George was asked whether
his attitude regarding Dakar and
the Portuguese islands might change
if Germany moved into Spain and
Portugal
He replied in the egative. adding
that in this event. the British feet
probably would take over the Cape
Verde Islands and other important
bases
Senator George talked with news
men after Senator Wheeler, Demo-
crst Of Montana issued formal
statement saying certain inter
ventionist advisers of the President
both in and out of the Government"
were urging an invasion Of the
Azores. Cape Verde Islands, Dakar
and Martinique.
Said Senator Wheeler:
Il hope the President will not
listen to the warmongers in or out
Of his cabinet and thus drag US into

Germans Wait Reply
To Protest Against
Closing Consu|ates
Note to U. S. Denies
Agencies Here Acted
In Improper Manner
RH the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, June 18.-The dispatch
of Germany's protest against Presi-
dent Roosevelt's order closing all
| German consulates in the United
States brought momentary lull
today in discussion of the tense
German-American relations.
The Germans are saying nothing
further. but apparently are taking
the attitude that the next step is
up to the United States. American
reaction to the German protest Is
awaited.
Asked whether the episode might
be considered closed with Germany s
formal presentation OF protest, an
authorized spokesman said:
mo. The reaction to our note is
awaited"
Text Kept Secret.
The text Of the protest was not
disclosed, the only indication of its
nature being a general statement
vigorously denying that German
consulates in the United States had
been guilty OF any conduct injurious
to America.
A communique announcing the
German step was issued late last
night and came as surprise be-
cause throughout the day author
lied spokesmen said the matter was
being thoroughly and most carefully
studied and that Germany would
not permit herself to be forced into
hasty decisions.
The communique. issued by
DNB, official German news agency,
said:
The North American Govern
ment in a note on June 16 re-
queSted the German Charge d'Af-
faires 10 direct German consular
officials within its sovereign terri
tory as well as members OF the
German Library of Information, the
Transocean Agency and the Rail-
way Co. to leave the United States.
Says Charges Unfeunded.
The basis given for the request
was that the involved German Of
ficials had conducted themselves in
an inadmissible manner. The Reichs
government has rejected these
charges as unfounded and despotic
and made the sharpest protest
against the North American govern
ment's action. which is contrary to
agreement"
The German protest came close on
the heels of an official announce
ment that the Reich had taken nee
essary steps to counter American
action in freezing German funds.
Here. too, no details were revealed
concerning what the German coun-
termeasures would be.
Newspapers as late as this morn
ing apparently had not received
instructions on how to tackle the
situation, refraining from editorial
comment and publishing only the
official announcement
