THE IMPORTANCE
OF SEA CONTROL
Chicago Daily NeWs)

(ChlcagO Daily NeWS)
We here are safe today, not because
We lie behind two oceans but because
the American and British fleets control
those oceans. Hitler can raid the ocean
highways, he can hit and run, but he can
not stop the conveys, as long as there
are war vessels and planes enough to do
the conveying.
If Britain were suddenly overthrown,
this situation would change completely.
In short time, Hitler, using the ship
yards already available in conquered
Europe, could build a navy which, in
alliance with that of Japan, would out
number ours at least two to one.
If our Navy, attacked in both
oceans at once, should be crippled, or
even temporarily disorganized, Hitler
would be able to do what the British
have done--that is, move large land and
air forces to fight on distant shores.
Hitler is committed to policy of world
domination, to which, if Britain fell, the
United States would remain the ONLY SER
lOuS obstacle. We do not believe he would
attempt direct invasion of this country.
He might possibly try to land in Can
ada. 1t is more likely, however. that
he would sail to some part of South Am
erica where he had been assured in adj
vance of strong support from a Fifth
Column.
For US, the possible loss of sea control
IS the real danger. For us, this war is
war to determine who shall dominate
the waters of our two oceans.

1t is to grant freely to fellow
Americans all rights and privileges
one asks for oneself. and to expect
as much from them.
1t is to keep for oneself certain
corners Of the mind, certain phases
OF intimate and personal life, Sc
cure against a state to which the
people themselves have said Keep
Out!'
To be an American? 1t is to be a
man, or a woman, before men and
before God, with dignity which God
breathed into man when He made
him only a little lower than the
angels, and crowned him with glory
and honor
That is what it is to be an
american. That is what we cele-
brate on May l8. That is the ideal
to which we dedicate ourselves.
Where we have fallen short of it,
and the instances are many, that
IS the measure of our failure to
achieve in full the task we have
set ourselves, the most glorious
task a people ever undertook.
Our failures as we'll as our sue

TO ourselves, and looking at them
squarely each of us can yet say

THERE'S NO
COMPARISON
Editor, The Post-Press:

Editor, The Post-Press:
As per your request that | write you
a letter about Imperial Valley. as | see
it today, compared with the conditions
when | first came here, there are so
many things one could say regarding
the changes that have taken place | am
afraid that it would sound like fiction
instead of facts, should we go into de-
tail.
Briefly speaking When l came here
33 years ago next month farm land was
selling from 500 to $3.50 per acre for
land under cultivation, in crop. and near
town. paid the top price $3.50 per acre
for so acres 3 mile south of the city
limits Of Ell Centro. Prices Of farm prod
ucts were low. hay So to 81 per ton, 100
pound feeders hogs So per head. can't
aloupes and watermelonS were too cheap
to harvest, barley 90c per hundred, and
good land would rent for only around ST
per acre or l / of the crop on a share
basis. Living conditions We're not like
they are today | think the cricketS were
larger, the roads were dusty and mos
Quitoes more playful. No electric lights
or fans on the farms, yet land sold New
people coming in on every train.
What have we today?
Good roads, electricity on the farms,
wonderful schools, modern homes, and
the farming conditions many times bet
ter than ever before. The best land now
renting from $50 to $50 per acre or net
ting better than 10 per cent on your in
Vestment, and yet there are some people
who still think it is unsafe to put your
money in as Bill Smith or John Doe told
him so.
Ever since time immemorial we have
had knockers and we will have them long

HOT NUMBERS.
HOT WEATHER

The actual weather in Holly
wood was appropriate for the go
ingS-on in the tropical night Club
set of Navy Blues. Sultry and hot,
Hula gals all over the place. Above
the bar one of those old four-blad-
ed ceiling fans revolved laSAy;
above that, and out OF sight of the
camera. a husky prop man stood
OH q platform and turned the fan
with a crank.
The camera turned, voices and
an unseen orchestra began the
theme song. In marched Ann
Sheridan, wearing something brief
ly nautical and was hoisted to the
shoulders of a couple of bartenders.
In came Martha Raye, hula cos
tuned, to be boosted onto the bar.
In pranced six photogenic cutieS.
IN outfits much too elegant and
modest for a honky-tonk chorus.
Everybody sang. Miss Raye, wrig-
Cling with discretion, moved along
the TOP of the bar and backed in
to the slowly moving fan. Register
ing panic, she grabbed two of the
blades, was swept off her feet and
began to revolve rapidly as the un-
seen prop man labored at tAe
crank.
Evidently this was the finale of
the picture. It certainly looked like
q good place to stop.
