NO ENEMY AIDERS

Washington newSmen, encoun- tering a growing trend of officious censorship by military brasshats' got a kick out of story Austral- ian Prime Minister Menzies relat- ed during his recent visit.
 One day, Menzies received a cable from London that Australian troops had made their first con- tact with Italians in North Africa and had acquitted themselves gall lantly. Thrilled, Menzies rushed to Parliament, which happened to be in session, and read the message.
 Two hours later he got another cable from a high official in Lon- don, protesting that Menzies &C., tion had given "aid and comfort to the enemy" Menzies shot back this reply:
 "If Australian troops made con- tact with the Italians, the Ital- ians are fully aware of it and you can be sure it was no aid or com- fort to them

relative increase last month shows that military plane output at long last is entering the mass produc- tion stage.
 . There were two chief reasons for the May letdown in total output labor trouble and lack of processed aluminium.
 At the Consolidated Aircraft plant. which is making urgently needed heavy bombers, a bitter AFL-CIO battle to unionize the men led to perceptible showdown of workers and production. But even more serious was the drop in two and motor bombers at he Boeing plant in Seattle because 4 an aluminium shortage. For 8 time work stopped there altogether.

Facing the Issue
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Cincinnati Enqu1rer)
 In the one great issue of the day there are only two sides: One either opposes Hterism or supports it. To attempt to retire. to make no choice, as the isolatonists do is choice in itself By refusing to oppose Hitler the neutral supports him. His un- willingness to act is act for Hitler
 This is truth which the solationsts have been unuilng-and are fundamentally unable-to face. Instead of facing it. they choose to become indig- nant accusing their critics of falsely impung pro- Hitler motives to them. This is, however, unfair. For those who want to defeat Hitler merely are saving that irrespective of the nobility of their motives the isoatonists effectively aiding Hitler What is important after all, are not the motives behind solationsm, but it's consequences we are dealing with realities and results We not writ ing a treatise ethics.
 This fact is presented with irresistible clarity in little booklet, "The Wave of the Past" by R. H. Markham published recently by the University of North Carolina Press To those who still are waver- ing this book should make it abundanty clear that isolatonism is dead, blind alley in world so closely knit and in which the opposing philosopnies are so deeply irreconcilabe that middle course possible We cannot appease flatter, or temporize with the NaN tyranny. We must resist, or succumb. Those unwilling or unable to resist succumbing and advocating the same course for others
 The issue as MT Markham shows, is no minor cne Hterism is the resurgence of black and bloody despotisn as old as the meanness in human nature To call it the of the future is to call wrong right to mock all truth and expression and to give in without a struggle to something no more inevi- table than thousand lesser evils which men of good will have been able to eradicate
 This is not the time to quit. It is the time to take sides consciously, solemnly, noby, and not by default"

HOROSCOPE "The stGrs incline
 but do not compel"
FRIDAY, JUNE 27

rR1OA1 IONE ~
 There is one strong benefic as- pect today which should be help full to trade and manufacturing Adverse influences are mildly ac- tive.
 Heart and Home: Good news through letters or newspapers should cheer the household under this configuration which tends to- ward self-deception and anxiety Pessimism regarding the future should be sternly. overcome, but there should be true realism in the contemplation of possible effects of war upon residents Sof the United States. This nation will come of age as the greatest of powers, but many of the most pleasant condi- tions of American life will be for feited. The. rising generation will pay heavy penalties for the mis- takes of progenitors.
 Business Affairs: As conventions of many sorts multiply, discussion of current problems will reveal ex- tending prosperity in the United States. One of the pressing ques- tions vii be the training of skilled mechanics. There is a sign read as seeming to indicate compulsion for labor unions which bar appren- tices. In a machine age both boys and girls must be taught skill in the use of the hands This week is lucky for vacations and should be profitable for hotels.
 National Issues: The need of ob- literating all race lines and all rec ognition of foreign origins among Americans will be- realized at this time when the generaE welfare de- bends more than ever upon unity of thought and action. Negroes are to contribute valuable and highly intelligent aid in war preparations and will produce real heroes in various fields of activity. Clearer vision of world potentialities will accent patriotism.
 International Affairs: Peace sug- gestions will appear from many quarters. A few Americans will advocate an armistice as method of leading to adjustments which will save the Western Hemisphere from aggression. The seers warn of Nazi treachery and double-dealing. They read in the stars imperative causes for prolonged warfare which brings lasting results. The death of a European statesman will awaken anxiety. Today may be a date for a decisive move in diplo- macy.
 Persons whose birthdate 1t is have the augury of a year of sub stantial progress. Many friends and much happiness are indicated.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be intelligent and in char acter and mentality fitted to make much of their lives.

PLANE PRODUCTION

That drop in plane production last month from the April high of 1889 to 1884 was a shock to De- fense chiefs, who had expected out put to top l.500. However, there was one bright spot in the other wise sour report.
 Total aircraft output was down but a higher proportion of fight ing planes were turned out last month than ever before. Previous ly, more trainers than fighters were produced. But in May this ratio was reversed, with 55 percent fighters against 45 percent train CTS.
 This is of utmost importance Trainers are easily made and have never been a headache. It Il fighters and bombers that present real production problems, and thu

MACHINE TOOLS STOPPED THEM

Nearly a year ago plane plants were allocated fixed amounts of the limited output of aluminium, and Boeing's May alloment fell short of requirements It was iin- possible to make up the deficiency -as a result, in turn, of the long Allis- Chalmers strike.
 The Milwaukee machine tool plant makes aluminium fabricating machinery. Production of ingot all minimum has risen steadily. reach ing 52,000000 pounds in May, which was ample for current needs. But there wasn't enough machinery to process it.
 Defense chiefs promise firmly that this months plane showing will be different, with the total up around l,5Oo in July and even better gains in August. By October it is predicted plane output will hit 2,00O.
 These forecasts are based on the imposition of stiffer priorities on fabricated materials necessary for bombers, thus ensuring unham- pered production for speeded up schedules. Practically half of this months aluminium output, 53,0OO,- 900 pounds, has been assigned to plane production.
 British output is around l,5O0 a month. Once the U. S. reaches the 1000 level. the combined total will give the democracies equality with the Nazis in plane-making capa- city.
