AID:
To Reds?

As Nazi Germany and Red Russia
hurled their armies into the most
far-flung battle-line of all human his
tory, the question Of just what aid
would be sent to the Soviet forces
was a moot point on both sides Of
the Atlantic.
The governments Of both Britain
and the United States declared
themselves on successive days as
having solved the question as to the
aid principle by boiling it down to
very simple equation
Anybody that is fighting Nazis
is on our side in this fight"
Britain announced 1t would send
economic and military aid," and
the United States said the same, but
it was not Immediately clear just
how much of the latter there would
be.
England's first move was to IN
crease the effectiveness Of her
bombing raids on occupied France
and German cities, raiding both by
day and by night, and repeatedly
downing many Nazi airplanes.
In fact, the Raj reported the

Evelyn does not like the cabin;
she has been there twice only in the
past year. It means fire-making,
dishwashing, cooking for us all. My
little girl and l love it, but my wife
breads the effort. Last summer she
took Betty-Lou for two weeks to
smart beach, placed Betty-Lou with
my mother for the rest Of the vaca-
ton, and went off herself to Cali
fornia with friends.

She is lovely, gentle, domestic, lone
ly. And God knows I am lonely!
Last summer Ann, her sister and /

"But Evelyn assures me that il

My answer is; it is a deadlock,
and you must grin and bear it,
Don. There isn't any way out, at
the moment. Should Evelyn fall in
love with some other man and ask
divorce, that might be different.
Console yourself that half the lives

ionship. and give patience and time

LABOR:
Not at Ease

Despite the final removal Of all
troops from the plant of North
American Aviation, first and only
factory to be taken over by the army
in order to break strike, labor was
far from at ease, though there were
many factors tending to improve the
situation.
In the first place, assuming that
the Communists actually were in
back Of some Of the labor troubles,
they now found themselves fighting
for their lives Tin Russia) against
the Nazis, and as America was
pledged to do likewise in the "all-
out-aid" program, the Communists
changed their front and were. less
likely to participate in defense
strikes.
But, on the other hand, the basic
desire Of labor for 75-cent an hour
minimum wage as a sort Of level
at which they'd be willing to work
hard and faithfully at most any sort
Of defense task, seemed not at all
reduced, and this was sure to cause
outbreaks in the future.
Example
For instance, 5000 employees Of
the Sperry Gyroscope company vot-
ed to strike. Whether they would
carry it out or not was problemat-
ical, but the specter Of labor trouble
was rearing its head in this concern,
which makes the all-important
bomb-sight.
These workers wanted q blanket
20 per cent wage increase. The
company offered an unspecified
compromise, then added the words,
take it or leave IT,
The workers voted to leave it.

KEMP DONATING
 BLOOD TO GIRL
Benham Street Resident Eager to Help StreptO-
 cOccus Victim

Fred A. Kemp of 12 Benham street is one of the relatively few people who have recovered from streptococcus veridans, blood dis ease just as serious as 1t sounds. After an Hines lasting IS months, he finally recovered after having had three blood transfusions from persons who had previously suf- fered from the same disease. This was in 1884.
 Now MT. Kemp is eager to do what he can to help otheSs recov- er from the dread disease, and has offered to donate some of his blood to Eleanor Sullivan, 20, who is now in New London Home Memorial hospital, a victim of the same ill., ness.
 Doctors at the hospital are not yet sure whether MT. Kemp's of- fer will be accepted. They would prefer 8 donation from some per- son who recovered from the dis ease within the past six months, as blood from such persons would be of more beneficial effect.
 MT. Kemp is one of 35 persons throughout New England who have offered to be donors. He works at the French small tube division of the American Brass Go. In June he gave a pint of blood to the plasma bank accumulated at the Waterbury hospital.

President Is Ending
 Appeasement Policy

I New licenses will have to be ob- tained in the light of the new pol- icy.
 MT. Roosevelt apparently was con- Linuing his policy of parallel action with the British and Netherlands | governments. He conferred yester- day with British Ambassador Lord Halifax. Britain already has indi- cated that Japan would get no mere ! British oil and ti.e empire has threatened to close her coaling sta- tions to Japanese ships. The Meth erlands have suspended an agree ment to supply oil to Japan.
 The president first indicated his plan during an extemporaneous speech to the volunteer participa- ton committee of the office of civilian defense last week.
 In simple language, he explained why this government had sought to appease Japan and his use of the past tense indicated that the policy was being abandoned.
 An expert in the export control office explained that MT. Roose- velt's order means that Japan can get certain oil here, such as crude for furnaces. but only in industrial quantities,
 The empire, it was believed, would be placed in an extremely hazard ous position if it attempted to plan major campaign solely on its reserves, without first assuring con- tinuing supplies of petroleum. Gov ernment sources have said that the length of time the Japanese mili- tary machine could operate on ex- iSting oil stocks would be contin- gent upon the resistance met. Pro- tracted, bitter fighting would de- plete the reserves quickly, officials said. They pointed out. however, that Japan has been building up its reserves and likely has larger stocks than is believed.
 The Japanese embassy had no comment.
 Chinese Ambassador Dr. Hu Shih expressed great qualification" He felt the action would greatly strengthen our morale.
 T think that it will be great benefit to the whole cause of the democracies fighting for freedom" he said. Tt really is a very effec- tive weapon"

 As soon as the machinery is set up, the OPACS will make a general survey of vital commodities to de- termine whether prices have risen considerably over prices that pre- vailed on July 29. For example If meat were the commodity and round steak sold at 50 cents a pound on July 29 and at the time of the sur- vey had risen to $1 8 pound, the OPACS would have power under the bill to call in producers, packers, retailers and all others involved, subpoena their records and take their sworn testimony.
 If it were found that this price increase was unwarranted, an order fixing the price of round steak at a figure conside.ed reasonable by OPACS would Se issued.
 If a packing house or producer differed with the conclusion, either could, within 60 days, file protest which would have to be decided by OPACS in another 30 days.
 If the president or his agent, OPACS, overruled the protest, the packer or producer then could ap- peal to a new emergency court of three members appointed by the chief justice of the United States from among the judges of the dis trict and circuit courts.
 Could Set It Aside
 If the emergency court found the order was arbitrary, it could set it aside and at the end of 30 days this Judgment would be effective.

 Sends oil to Russia
 It was asserted that the United States was licensing "considerable" oil exports to Russia and that plans to ship this oil through the Pacific to Vladisvostok meant the United States no longer considered Japan's feelings" toward its alliance with Germany.
 Government spokesmen withheld comment on the United States eni- bargo on aviation gasoline to Japan pending official reports.
 Newspapers generally interpreted the embargo as ''intenSifying anti- Japanese pressure"
 They said they were not surprised because the move had been expected after the freezing of Japanese funds, and that Japan had made preparations to offset 1t.
 A government spokesman denied reports that Japan demanded mili- tary bases in Thailand. Such re- ports are entirely unfounded. the spokesman said. He saw ground for suspicion In the fact that the re- ports originated in London.
 The foreign oflice-suhsidixed newspaper Japan Times and Adver- tlser criticized acting Secretary of State Sumner Welles for using ''suave words" in a statement that Faw materials in the Pacific must hs available Co an nations on an equitable basaa
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-08-02

As relations between this govern ment and Japan were placed under greater strain, the president estab- lished machinery by which he could instantaneously cut off all American oil supplies to Japan should that government persist in aggression.
 Since 1888, the government has had moral embargo and later actual prohibitions against the ex- port of high octane or aviation fuel and oii to Japan. But the Jap- anese have been buying lower grades of oil heavily.
 Government officials said that the tightening of controls resulted from information that Japanese and German warplanes have been using fuel with an octane ratngi of 50 and below. The existing ern- bargo applied to octane rating of SIS and above.
