6REAT ACHIEVEMENTS
The Axis powers have reoIIy oeeom-
plished q greet deol in the post Il
months.
Not the military conquests. They
have accomplished great deal more
than thot.
They have done other things.
Things they had no deo Of accomplish
ing. Things like these:
They have completely uncovered
to the whole world the naked oudocity,
the shameless unscrupulousness, Of
their plan to force into the Nozi mold
as much Of the world as pIeoses them.
They have resurrected the soul Of
the British people; discredited and driv-
en- from power q leadership which was
Indifferent alike to the Nozi menace
and to internal failure to adjust the Bril-
fish economic and social world to mod
ern times.
They have shown the colossal folly
Of the exaggerated notionoIism which
coused the tiny notions created in CEN
trol Europe by the First World War to
hate and shun one another; they have
shown. them that their only sofety in
future lies in collaboration.
They have destroyed the illusion in
the United Stotes that so greet peo-
pie can remain Indifferent to what goes
on in the rest Of the world; they have
breothed life and reality into q Pan
Americonism, and suddenly switched it
from sentimental ideoIizing to life-ond-
deoth practically.
They have virtually assured greater
degrees Of independence to component
parts Of the British Empire, including
India, when the war shall be. over. They
have shown that oId-foshioned con-
quer-ond-coIonize colonial policies Of
the 18th century are not good enough
for the 10Th.
They have created among Norwe-
eions, Dutch, French, Czechs, Danes,
BeIeions, Greeks, and among all the
peoples Of Europe, nay, Of the world,
myriad masses Of people who know now
to their cost the priceless worth of lib.
erty, who will not soon again let the
Jewel slip from careless fingers.
Seeking to destroy liberty, they
have restored to it the strength and the
dynamic it has not had for hundred
years.
Seeking to turn the clock back to
q medieval despotism, they. have OPEN

'DETTeR RELATIONS
WITH MEXICO

Another corner hos been knocked
off the ttree-yeor oil controversy with
Mexico. Penn-Mex Fuel, q Sinclair sub
sidioy, accepted $500, 900 in Gosh for
it's exproprioted holdings.
"a Thot is small part Of the Ameri.
can and British holdings appropriated
March l8, 1888. Yet settlement OF
even small port is q hopeful sign, and
certainly suggests that Mexico is will
ina to poy for the properties taken over.
If ond as she can. Prompt payment OF
million dollars recently as comPenso-
ton for certain land appropriation wos
also made, further demonstration OF
responsibility.
Mexico hos from the stort firmly
stood on the ground that the taking
over of the oil properties was not con-
fiscotion, but expropriotion-thot is,
the intent always was to Poy for them.
The United Stotes hos never seriously
disputed the right Of sovereign gov
eminent like that Of Mexico to exPro-
priote natural resources like oil in the
ground, always provided that proper
and just payment is made to the own
ers.
3. Thus the whole long-stondine dis
pute has been q matter Of how much
shall Mexico pay, and when. Thot is
where repeated negotiations broke
down. The American companies whose
property was taken over claim voIu-
alton which the Mexican government
does not odnit, but no appraisal hos
ever been made by parties not directly
Interested. Since the principal problem
remaining is that Of setting valuation
mutually agreeable, and fixing terms
Of payment, the thing to do would seem
to be just that.
The Mexican governmental regime
has demonstrated its increasing stobiI-
ity since the appropriation. The change
over from the Cordenos to the Avilo
Comocho regime was accomplished in
an orderly manner for the most part,
ond the new administration hos i'm
proved the financial condition Of the
country and its general business stobil-
ity.
Mexico has aligned it's foreign pol
icy more closely than ever before with
that Of the United Stotes, and has ex-
tended cooperation in military and
onti-Fifth Column activities. Trode and
troveI between the two countries ore
increasing.
Isn't it good time, in the midst
Of O world strife, to demonstrate that
reasonable men on both sides Of the

but here we're $40 millions to

about the rest later.

ALL IS CONFUSION
Right now the building is
in that mad stote Of confusion
that ehorooterizes moving day

building isn't completed, but
such is the demand for office

they're moving in anyhow.
That happens regularly in

Under these happy condi-

HOLLYWOOD, July l2-Be-

Washington finally has halted
the entrance into this country
of German propaganda films.
There has been no formal an
nouncement because legislation
is still being drafted, but the lid
already has been clamped on.
Germany's new war caught
Russia with all sorts of pro-Nazi

Mortal Storm" 81 Married a
Nazi," Underground" MAN
Hunt" and of course "The Great
Dictator"
It's said that .one of the left
wing organizations is black
mailing a few prominent Holly
woodsmen who once made con-
tributions to what they thought
was a cause of liberalism and
the relief of suffering. Now the
radicals are demanding more
money on the threat of report
ing previous donations to fed
eral investigators. One poten-
tial victim is said to have gone
to the FBI and tipped off the
scheme.
