U. S. TO BE IN WAR, PREDICTS
 R0TARIAN HEAD Mig Bor|eske Is Visitor Here Enroufe to Sif-
 ka, Fairbanks

If you believe in a thing, sooner ol later you're going to have to get out and fight for it." District Gcvernoi R. Vincent tNig) Borleske of Re tary International said today in pre- dieting that the United States would eventually be in the war.
 Borleske, who visited Juneau en- route to Sitka and Fairbanks to in- stall charters for new Rotary Clubs said he had been telling Rotary gatherings for the past fcur years that there was going to be war and that we were going to be in it.
 sh3 Up To Us
 "A fellow like Hitler doesn't quit until he's licked, and maybe were going to have to help lick him" the Whitman College football coach and athletic director said.
 The District Governor spoke of the inspiration he had received in hearing Canadian Clubs throughout the District sing "Therell Always be an England
 Bcrleske said tnat though dark ness now lay ever the British Em- pire, they're going to emerge again because they're right"
 He declared that Rotary would help after the. war in solving the problems which will confront the world. This is where we failed last time and let lasting peace slip from out of grasp, he said.
 International Police
 Remarking that it is necessary to have police force in etoIy town even in this most civilized country in the world" Borleske said it was equally necessary to have an inter- national police force which could tell people like Hitler you can't do this.
 Borleske, visiting Juneau for the second time in his year as head of Rotary organizations in the worlds largest district, has travelled 27,OOO miles calling on the 86 Rotary Clubs under his supervision. He is on a years leave of absence from Whit man College at Walla Walla.
