 Symptoms
 There are certain signs and sym- toms such aS persistent lump or thickening, particularly in the breast; any irregular bleeding or discharge from any body opening; any persistent and unexplained in. digestion; any sore that does not heal normally, especially about the tongue, mouth or lips; any sudden change in the form or rate of growth of @ mole or wart that may indicate the presence of cancer. At least patients having any of these signs or symptoms should present themselves immediately to the care of Q competent physician and let him make the diagnosis and iIl- stitute proper treatment.
 To-day" says Dr. c. c. Little, managing director of the Society, 1t is truer than ever before that health protection is national defense. Is- suance of Q cancer stamp by the Post Office Department would give tremendous impetus to tie pro- gram of public education by focuss- ing the attention of the entire na- ton on this disease. Twelve other countries, ranging from France, Sweden, and Turkey through little Monaco, have issued such stamps to combat cancer through education. This country has never done so. We urge everyone who is interested in the protection of himself and his family, as well as in national de- fense, to join us In this plea to the President"

At the time of the tragedy, the newly hired employe had been leaning against a derrick in use on the construction work. Without warning, the mast suddenly collapsed, and in falling snapped an electric wire. The current passed through the wire, instantly killing the man.

the New Deal who picture all busi-
ness and industry as anxious to ex-
plot everybody and everything,
there might be a different story to
tell about what is happening in
Washington today. There would be
instead virtually no opposition
against granted unlimited powers.
The country would be told that after
all as long as Congress is in session
it can take back any powers 1t ever
grants and. if the Congress doesn't
bestir itself then, the people every
two years can elect new Congress.
Against this is the argument that
the administration, by its enormous
power of subsidy and money grants,
can control the elections, but If
American civil liberties and our sys-
tenn of government were really in
danger the American people would
be able to compel majority to take
back powers just as majority forced
the administration to defeat in the
Supreme Court bill controversy.
The pending bill needs amend
ments and safeguards, but its pri-
mary request-to give the Chief Ex-
ecutive power to do anything and
everything on a moments notice,
which may be necessary to our de-
fense and security-will be granted
by Congress largely because it
doesn't dare do otherwise. 1t can't

A more difficult question is CO.
ordination in action. Central ad-
ministrative planning has had to
proceed from a new set of premises.
Policy had to be recast,
On the Pacific we had the great
bastion of Hawaii, and naval policy
was based on the Japanese threat
In the Pacific. Army policy looked
in that direction, too, against in
vasion. Army and Navy jointly saw
the defense of the Panama Canal
as a most vital necessity.
After the Nazi conquest OF the
Low Countries and France the Navy
had to formulate a two-ocean
policy.
Now a Chain Of Bases.
The outpost bastion of the At
lantic policy was Puerto Rico under
our flag, which we had already
begun to fortifv heavily while we
reinforced the Army garrison there
for the defense of the Canal and
the Caribbean. For We must hold
the Caribbean as the primary At
lantic naval defense OF the Canal
and to prevent air approach.
Suddenly out of the blue an island
chain of bases, auxiliary to Puerto
Rico. was dropped into the lap of the
Army and Navy. We also had Ber-
muda oil our main Atlantic coast
and Newfoundland off our North At
lantic coast.
The outlook had entirely changed
There must be new pattern OF
strategy and tactics for Atlantic de-
fense. We were stretching our
striking power from the home shores
by hundreds of miles in harbors and
airfields to be protected by the
Army's guns and Navy and Army

Troops to Leave Soon.
The new Atlantic naval command
and the concentration Of the Army
command of the Caribbean under

be on the way to Newfoundland this
