| JAPAN:
Not So Vide?

The statement by Ambassador
Nomura of Japan in Washington
that the bridge between Japanese
and American policy was not so
wide that it could not be spanned
was viewed as perhaps sign of the
weakening of Nippon.
1t was recognized in both Britain
and the United States that the far
eastern menace of Japan was large
ly war of nerves and a battle of
bluff.
The Indo-China move both these
nations could laugh off as a good
joke provided it did not develop into
one of two things-an invasion. of
Thailand, or a move against the
Burma road.
Either of these eventualities, it
was understood, could reasonably
set fire to the powder magazine in
the East, yet japan made no such
move, only issuing statements which
were more and more bitter. Now
Nomura was saying, after 20
minute conference with Secretary
Hull:
''He outlined the position of your
government. I outlined the position
of mine. No conclusions were
reached.
81 believe the gap between the
two can be bridged. 1t would be
folly to do otherwise. have very
strong conviction that it will be done,
but don't just know how"
And that, at least the folly" part
of it, was exactly what America and
Britain had been preaching to Japan
for weeks, since the start of the
move into Indo-China. 1t offered
room for hope that Japan might yet
decline to be the Axis tool.

DEFENSE:
OF Leningrad

The defense of Leningrad, which
apparently was to be undertaken by
the Russians despite the belief of
most observers that a military in
Movement of the city could only end
in its total destruction, drew the
eyes of the world, heralded by the
dramatic announcements of Soviet
leaders preparing everyone for the
imminence of battle.
There was only one way to read
this situation, and that was to under
stand that the Russian army re-
sistance on the Finnish front and
against the pincers attack from Lat
via and the south was crumbling,
that the soldiers were fighting rear
guard actions and falling back on
the Soviet's second city, and that
the civilian population was being
armed to fight it out.
Such a battle had been fought
only once before in recent world
history, and that was in Warsaw,
and the pages of that battle were
filled with stories of the glorious
heroism of the defenders, and of
the ruthless destruction of the city
and thousands of its inhabitants in
the course of the battle.
The story was to be even more
bitter and terrible in Leningrad, not
only, believed most observers, be-
cause of its greater size and popu-
lation, but because of the fact that
the German invaders undoubtedly
were not so "hot" as they were be-
fore Warsaw, and the Leningrad-
ers were better prepared.
1t seemed that the army retreat
ing toward Leningrad was not, like
the Inflated Polish army, a rabble
in rout, but an orderly group whose
losses might have been heavy, but
which was moving backward slowly.
In fact, as the northern forces,
under Voroshilov himself, were fall
ing back, the Russian communicates
told of encounters in the Smolensk
area, although they had admitted
the loss of the city days before, and
some thought this might mean that
the Reds were driving the Nazis
back in the center.
On the southern front the Ger
mans were consolidating their gains,
and the battle of Odessa, sort of a
foretaste of the battle-to-be at Len
ingrad, was admitted by the Ger
mans to have been hand-to-hSnd
encounter of the bitterest sort.
1t was interesting that the Nazis
were admitting casualties of more
than 100000 men, while the Rus
slams were claiming only 100000
Germans had been lost.
The German admission was one of
those left-handed things, as the COM
munique in which it contained said
that the Russians had lost 5000, 900
while the German losses were
"about one-third" of that amount.
It gave an idea of the magnitude
of war in which the admitted cas-
ualties, dead, wounded and missing,
could be that many human beings in
a brief 20 days.

|GASOLINE:
RdtiOns

Most stations in the East were be-
ginning to ration their gasoline Gus
toners in odd sorts of ways, so that
the driver who wanted gasoline bad
ly enough could get it, if only at the
rate of five gallons here and five
more there.
But New York surveyors of the
field reported that even the p. m.
to a. m. curfew was working pref
ty well, with 100 key stations re-
porting a 1914 per cent reduction in
sales.
The second method was also cut
ting sales, though how much re-
manned a mystery. 1t was believed
probable that the better method
would be to enlist the cooperation
of the bigger users of gasoline, such
as the delivery truckers, bus opera
tors, ETC., and also to force some
political jobholders to stop using
their state and city-owned cars for
pleasure driving.

RAILROAD WAGES

RAILROAD employees are de-
manding heavy increase in wages.
If they get it, each farmer will pay
more transportation on the products
he sends to market. Each house
wife will pay more for the food for
her family. The railroads will pass
the increase along to their patrons
if they are permitted to do so. II
not, they will probably be in the
hands of receivers and the several
millions of Americans who have in
vested their savings in railroad
securities will lose. Railroad net
earnings will not permit the paying
out of more money unless more is
taken in. 1t is from such things
that imitation is born.

Fish-Why, isn't that enough?
Tish-I suppose it is, but if that is
a fact, then the cat next door must
know ten foreign languages besides.

Thinking and Feeling

With most of us feeling dulls into
thinking as we progress along the
road, and woe to that man who
has never learned to think, for if
he lives into old age he will be
a plague to himself and a nuisance
alike to those who think, or feel.

AS We Look

It was John Ruskin who said it
long ago, but it is still true that the
man who looks for the crooked
things will see the crooked things,
and the man who looks for the
straight will see the straight.

IRAN:
And Britain

Inc BRUSH demand on Iran tnat
she expel all Nazi agents from her
borders, and the Iranian refusal to
obey, turned eyes again to the
Middle East and Near East, and
showed that Britain, conquerors of
Syria with the aid of the Free
French, realized the need of
strengthening the position of her
forces in that part of the world.
Few doubted the ability of the
British, with the possible aid of the
Russians, to take over little Persia,
and present to the Nazis coming
down from the Ukraine, or wishing
to, firmer front. It also would ex-
tend the common frontier with Tur-
key, and allow Ankara to have an
excuse for maintaining a stronger
pro-British neutrality.
Trans fears were realized when
British troops under the command
of Gen. Archibald Wavell crossed
into southern Iran and at the same
time Soviet Russian forces moved
into northern Iran from the Cauca-
sis. There was resistance encoun-
tered, according to the early reports
from the fighting fronts. London
sources indicated that the move
ment into Iran came to foil Nazi
coup. The move was seen as a di-
rect action to the refusal of the Iran
to give a satisfactory reply to the
British and Russian request that
Germans be expelled from the
country.
Iran was powerless militarily,
though with an army technically
measured at 120, 900, to halt British
invasion in similar force to that
which moved in on well-defended
Syria, but she was in an important
position geographically for Britain
Middle Eastern defense, believed one
of the next tactical moves of the
war, as the weather in northern
Russia was about to tighten into win
ter temperatures and SHOWS.
TRIPOLI:
The lengthening range of Raj.
bombers was bringing the harbor of
41lpO2ly hC01SC1 UdSS
for Nazi-FasciSt operations in North
Africa, more easily within reach.
Ports of the character of Tripoli
being rare in northern Africa, the
latest of these bombings, during
which Is tons of explosive were
dropped, were said to show that the
British are putting into effect a plan
they believe utterly necessary-the
preparation for the switching of a
major Nazi offensive to Africa.
The harbor was reported badly
damaged, and it was the British
plan to continue the attacks with full
power until its use as a landing and
supply base would be seriously i'm
paired, if not put out of commission
altogether.
Using American-made 'Mary-
land" bumbers, the British stated
that they were flying low, with all
10 machine guns firing, and raking
the Nazi and Fascist transport col
umns when they were landing, also
that they were taking a heavy toll
at sea

HITLER is MORTAL, just as we

than that of other mortals. With his
death will come an end of the vast

Guiding those of the Germans. II

KENT:
Il Junket

The duke of Kent, the king of
England's younger brother, having
flown the Atlantic, having flown
from coast to coast over Canada, in
speeding war work and training in
the dominion, dropped in on Presi-
dent Roosevelt at Hyde Park, and
then made rapid trip over Ameri-
can defense centers.
His schedule brought him to New
York, Hyde Park, Norfolk, Va,
Washington, D. c., and Baltimore,
Md, within a few days, and he re-
ported himself vastly impressed
with what he saw.
In the latter city, assembled and
nearly ready for its test was a navy
bomber SO big that it made flying
fortresses look like tugboats along
side an ocean liner.
Just as pursuit ship could mes
tie under the wing of medium two
motored bomber, the latter could
sail under the wing of this new
monster of the air, with a wing
spread about block long, and an
ability to fly when and where it
pleased, perhaps to fight its way
successfully through a squadron of
enemy fighters and come through
still flying.

BRIEFS:

Fort Dix: Seven soldiers escaped
their sentries in guardhouse break
from Fort Dix. One of them was
later found shot to death. He was
shot, not by one of the sentries, but
by a policeman off duty.
San Antonio, Texas: An army re-
cruit, asked for his preference for
service, said he'd like to join the
parachutists. Surprised, the SER
geant asked: "Any experience?" A
little, the recruit allowable had
been a chute jumper with an aerial
circus for four years.

WASHINGTON, June II tP - The President, reporting that Little over $75,OOO,0O0 of de- fense materials have been trans ferred under the lend-lease law, told Congress that 'sWe will help Britain to outstrip the Axis pow CTS with munitions of war and we will see to it that these muni tions get to the places where they can be effectively used to weak en and defeat the aggressors." He made no mention of the methods to be used to insure delivery.
