Russia Guards Her Sea Outlet

Outstanding in the swift strat- egic and diplomatic movements on the European checkerboard is the announCem- mt from Instan- bull that Russia and Turkey are publishing a common declaration of friendship.
 Interpreted to mean that Rus sia will aid Turkey by every means if the Turks are attacked by Germany, the declaration is fraught with exc ptional signffc- ance.
 Russia took stand Saturday in the tense Balkan situation by giving Turkey assurances that Moscow will give Ankara free hand in dealing with the situa- ton involving a third power.
 Only few days prior Anthony Eden, keen, smooth British for eign secretary and aides, cen f rred in Ankara with Turkish and Soviet envoys, and went aW- ay smiling.
 Out of it all comes the con clusian that Russia will do her utmost-and Britain Is in accord in blocking any Axis encroach- ment on the DardaneIles or Turk ish territory.
 Obviouzly. Russia is determin- cd at any costs-irrespect.ve of her non-aggression pact with Ger many-to guard h-r one outlet from the Black Sea 10 the Med iterranean. She is willing 10 con- cede to the Turks their right to hold this gateway so long as they gre friendly to Rus ia and will not interfere with her use of the wat rway.
 Turkey may be confronted lat CT with other demands from Russia, or the two may put in together, possibly with. some un- derstanding as to British inter ests in the region, but obviously neither of the three powers ar willing to give way to German aggression in that direction. Look for things to pop if Germany at tempts a drive toward the Dar- d9nelles or into Turkish terri tory.

EDITORIAL America Throws In Her Weight

No doubt about it. America has definitely thrown her weight in with the democracies in the titan ic struggle to turn the scales against the totalitarian powers.
 Will aggression and invasion remain the order or will it be blocked. Not if Britain and her fighting allies and the wealth and resources of America can help it,
 The Lend-Lease act, now in full force and effect, will b. i'm plemented with the initial ap- propriation of seven billion dol lars.
 Now watch Uncle Sam unlim- Der in way never before wit messed. Factori.s and mines, ev- cry branch of industry will hum like a hornets nest
 As industry buckles 10 it's huge task, and an army of workers are called to countless new jobs; as millions of Selective Service enrollecs go into training camps; every individual with income or earning capacity will be expect ed to do his part.
 This fact is patent in the an nouncement of the treasury de partment that 1t will begin at once an intensive campaign to sell billions of dollars worth of new defens2 saving securities to the public.
 Under supervision of Gale Johnston of St. Louis, the stage is being set for half a million persons to assist in the campaign. Press dispatches say that schools, labor union and every other or ganization will be canVasSed for their coopsration. Arrangements will be made so that bank de- positors can have bonds bought for them regularly. with proVi- sions for purchases to fit any purse from a few dollars into the tens of thousands.
 The turning of the tide against aggression is not a task alone for armies and navies; for armed forces of tn battling Briti1h or the defensive units of the friend ly Americas.
 The Axis powers are drawing their sustenance largely from the adjacent neutral" nations of Flu rope. Britain by the same tok-n is justified in following prece- dent. And this is exactly where the Americas may now be expect ed to do their utmost with Un- cle Sam leading off with the first intensive drive under the pro visions of the Lend-Lcase act and the appropriation of billions that mean the first real barrage under the all-out effort 10 hals the totalitarian onslaught.
