IRELAND, WEAK SPOT
IN BRITISH DEFENSE
(Oroville Mercury-Register)

(Oroville Mercury-Register)
Army men rapidly are drawing les
sons and conclusions from the successful
invasion of Crete by air. One OF the con-
cluSionS is that the Germans would be
unsuccessful in such an invasion of Eng
land. Scotland aad Wales but might be
successful in an invasion of Ireland,
where the British are barred The Irish
would be no match for the rapidly de-
scending Germans. and they could arrive
in their transport planes and gliders de-
spite the opposition of British fighters
in the air Ireland, one can predict, will
be the weak spot in the British defense.
We wonder what the British will do
about the Island of Cyprus, located east
of Crete and near Syria The British
need that island, and although it is said
to have weaker defenSeS than Crete, 1t
is farther from the airdromes of Greece
which the Germans used so effectively
in their quick round trips by air to Crete
Maybe the lessons learned from the in
vasion of Crete will serve the British
we'll.
Probably it is 200 much TO hope that
the Irish have learned from Crete that
they are practically defenseless against
the Germans. Up to now they may have
thought that the British navy is suffi-
cient protection Maybe they will con-
sent to let British army help them. That
is unlikely But if they don't an inva-
sion from the air seems to us to be eX-
tremely likely, although it would be an
effort on so great a scale as to slow up
the German war machine in other the
atres, Just as the effort against Crete
so occupied the Germans thev allowed
the British to go unhampered into Bagh-
dad.
The lesson drawn in the United States
is that this country needs many long range
fighters and bombers to protect its is
land bases, and that these fighters and
bomberS, if in sufficient numbers, would
be more effective than units of the fleet.
In a way, this is good news for us, since
it makes less imperative the division of
our fleet now based in the Pacific. For
the same reason it is bad news for Japan.
But most important of all Of the con-
clusions that the military men are draw
ing is the fact that Ireland is the real
threat to Britain and that Ireland, so
anxious to keep out of the war will be
conquered before Britain is, if the war
gets that far along.

Gayda declared that the axis is

To-day he wrote, "a new offens-

of military and political forces in
both Europe and other parts of the
world-for either defense or Of

About Censorship

Newspapers in the United States
are not censored. They must not
be, even should the emergency be-
come more critical
We have the word of Lowell Mel
lett. head Of the Office of Govern
ment Reports, that no censorship
is contemplated We have the word
of George Creel. who managed such
matters during the World War,
that it doesn't work anyway, even
when voluntary Both men ought
to know what they are talking
about.
There can be only two reasons
for censorship of newspapers. One
is to manipulate people at home.
The other is to keep information
of military value away from posi-
BILE enemies abroad. The first we
don't want. The second is the sphere
in which to operate.
Free, democratic peoples can be
told the truth. If it is bad. so much
the more reason for telling them.
They will hold firm, even when it's
bad Britain proves that.
Good sense indicates that infor-
nation of military value shall not
be passed on to enemies or potent
ial enemies. That's the place for
censorship. When a piece of infOr-
nation Of value to a potential enc
my becomes known. what happens?
1t Is Immediately passed ON to the
country interested
Now military information is a
perishable product, like fish. If not
received in time, its no good. Mod
ern conditions being what they are.
It can be assumed that no military
secret tan be kept forever. If il
IS delayed long enough. however,
that is enough for practical pur-
poses.
Thus it may be seen that CEN
sorship is apt to do the one thing
1t should not do: namely, becloud
local opinion; while falling to do
the thing 1t ought to do: namely,
preventing the enemy or potential
enemy from getting the information
IN time to do it any good.
Voluntary censorship keeps little
news from going abroad, especially
since the cables abroad are uncen-
sored. ShortwaVe radio and the
cablesl Those are the points to
choke off information going abroad,
not censorship of American news
papers. True, such restriction is
not air-tight. The news will sift
abroad sooner or later, but prob
ably too late to be of value.
That IS the sort of restriction
which Creel recommended, with his
World War experience with volun
lafy censorship back of him. That
Is the sort of censorship. together

Russia Wiihdraws
Greek Recognition;
Sovereignty Lost

MOSCOW, June 3 CUP) = The
Soviet government today withdrew
its diplomatic recognition of Greece.
A communique by the foreign
commissariat advised the Greek le-
cation that Russia no longer con-
siders diplomatic relations valid IL

egnty" and the fact that Russia
no longer has diplomatic represent
atiVes in Greece.
The action conceded with the
departure from Moscow of Milan

members of his staff.
Russia withdrew recognition of
JugOslaVia in similar manner after

and mobile field guns, from the
Italian Dodecanese islands and had
hugged the Turkish coast to escape
British naval craft.
There was a series of unconfirmed
reports: That a state of siege had
been declared in eastern Syria; that
French troops were massing on the
Iraq frontier and that telephone and
telegraphic communication between
Syria and Egypt had been sus-
pended.
While none of these reports could
be confirmed here, it was under
stood that the Germans we're occu-
pying several air fields in Syria,
that the number of German MN
tary men going to Syria in civilian
guise was increasing steadily, and
that for six weeks Germany had
been massing troops and airplanes
in the Dodecanese islands, and seek
ing ships which would be capable
of moving a large military force.

WHAT SUCH A BUYING
INCOME WOULD MEAN

The story was rejected by this news
paper because it was palpably mlslead-
ing and its implication untrue. To OBJ
tain such family buying power, the aver
age income of Ell Centre families would
have to be more than $4,000 year
Among ten families, to obtain total aver
age income-not buying poWer-of even
$3.50 a year. there would have to be
one earning $4,000 year, three earn
ing $4,000 year, three earning $4,000
year, two earning $4,000 a year, and one
earning $500 a year. We are not admit
ting any fault in admitting that El Cen
tro has no such ratio.
The S4070 figure was obtained, of
course, by dividing the estimated family
population of Ell Centre = 2700 = into
the estimated purchases in El Centro-
S10,990, ,000-for 1910. The computation
completely ignored the fact that large
percentage of purchases in Ell Centre
are made by farmers and others living
outside the city limits. and in other parts
of the county. 1t was not fair TO them.
Ell Centre didn't need to stretch the
figures to boast. There is plenty to be
proud of in the fact that the city did to-
tai business of over ten million dollars
in 1910 When you've got something like
that to talk about, why strain to make
it bigger?
People will stop deprecating chamber
of commerce talk when they have con-
fidence in chamber Of commerce figures.
Our chamber of commerce needs that
confidence, in order to inspire deserved
confidence in our valley.
Let's stick to facts-they're inspiring
enough.

CENSORSHIP
(Santa Ana Register)

(Santa Ana Register)
Some people who will not write ar
impersonal rule of patriotism. or right
and wrong, have taken exception to our
criticism of the Presidents speech. Their
norm or unit by which they measure pa
trotism is blindly acquiscing in what
ever the government does. If this rule
had been followed we never would have
had this government If it had been fol-
lowed we still would have had slavery.
For the American people in these try
ing times to be obliged to accept blindly
every act of our government without
criticism, under the guise that it is un-
patriotic to criticize would be the worst
thing that could happen to the American
people.
If there is to be no criticism, verbally
or in the press, how would men, like
Chamberlain be superseded by other
men?
If there ever was a time that our pub
lie spirited citizens and the press needed
to be courageous and point out errors
and things that are destroying our own
freedom and our ow prosperity, it is now.
Imperial Valley press., 1941-06-03
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
SHOULD STICK TO TRUTH

The quickest way in the world to kill
confidence in your goods is to misrepre-
sent them. And once folks find you've
been misrepresenting things, you're be
hind the eight ball. You can't even sell
the best product in the world, because
people don't trust what you tell them.
That lesson, learned long ago by sue
cessful merchants, comes into sharp TO-
Gus in Imperial Valleys own confidence
campaign.
Imperial Valley has everything it
needs to inspire confidence. 1t has more
than nine-tenths of the other commupi-
ties in the United States. 1t has enough
outstanding features to fill book full
of bare factual statements listing them
without adjectiVeS. We don't have to
misrepresent Imperial Valley; the truth
is astounding enough.
The Ell Centre chamber Of commerce
has done a great job of carrying on the
confidence campaign to educate Imperial
Valley people to the excellence OF their
own community. 1t is unfortunate that
such grand record should be marred
even slightly, by one unfortunate burst
of over-exuberance Except that we ad-
vance only by studying our own errors,
the misrepresentation should be over
looked. We consider it purely in the hope
that such consideration will avoid a rep
etition of the same error.
The error came in a lengthy news re-
lease issued by Secretary Manager Rob
ert Hays of the chamber of commerce,
and subsequently rejected by this paper
but published elsewhere. 1t was spot
lighted, unfortunately, by additional cir
culation in the chamber of commences
weekly news bulletin after mature
thought should have shown the mistake
that was originally made.
The news release said, in effect, that
Ell Centro's effective buying income per
family in 1910 was S4,070. If true, that
would have placed Ell Centro next to
Beverly Hills as the wealthiest communi-
ty in California. The news release de
clared that Ell Centro was in this posi-
ton.

These summaries go to government

Dredging Adds Shells
To Bermuda S Attractions

HAMILTON. Bermuda. Nov. l.
One of the few things Bermuda
lacked from the visitors viewpoint
was an abundance of tropical shells.
Today. thanks to construction of the
new United States bases here, such
shells are plentiful along the coral
sands in certain areas.
The remote shores of Longbird
Island. rarely visited by tourists in
bygone years. are now a popular
rendezvous as Bermuda's shell
rush attracts cyclists from the more
populous centers.
Shell hunting began here two
years ago when Bermudian dredges
deepened the channel at Flats In
let and pumped great quantities of
sand into the fields near Shelly Bay.
The word soon got around that
shells were there for the taking, and
amateur naturalists exhausted the
supply in month or two.
Mamoth dredging operations at
Longbird have provided an almost
inexhaustible supply. however, and
before the bases are completed many
million more shells will be uncov-
cred.
