In spite of the Fish-Nye-Whee1e
promises that Germany could neve
hurt us on the Atlantic, about rs pc
cent of our coast-wise and other mer
chant vessels have been sunk. Fo
awhile there seemed to be no way tt
prevent this, but lately sinkings have
been much less frequent. We are
probably building merchant ships
faster than we are losing them. We
have lost no conveys or troop ships
The best news of 60 days was wher
Brazil entered the war. Perhaps II
was some port in Brazil, to which the
Standard Oil Company was, as late
af 1910 Oh, ipo IN
for re-delivery to the Axis powers
At any rate, if the Standard Oil is
still doing this stunt, there is better
chance that Brazel will stop the prac
tice than that Attorney General Bid
die will prosecute the president OF
the Standard Oil for treason or deport
him with Harry Bridges. Perhaps
the falling off in submarine sinkings
of our vessels is due to Brazips pre-
venting Standard Oil from refuelling
German submarines. Brazil has As
million people, as great natural re-
sources as ourselves, quite a navy.
A. Brazilian flyer first flew across
the Atlantic. The Allies need air pi-
lots. Brazil can, and will, send thou
sands of skillful pilots to Europe.
There is a large trade between Por-
tugal, Spain and Brazil. While Por-
tuguese, not Spanish, is the language
of Brazil, Franco will think twice be-
fore breaking with Brazil.
In Egypt, Americans and New Zea-
landers have stopped Rommel. Six
weeks ago he seemed likely to take
the Suez Canal from the English.
All eyes of the world are on Russia.
But for the Soviet courage and
strength, every city on our Atlantic
seaboard would be in ruins before
this. The French islands would be
bases from which planes would be
bombing Boston, New York, Washing
ton and New Orleans night and day.
America would be fighting the entire
Axis world alone. All our navy would
be in the Atlantic Japan would be
everything west of the
Rocky mountains except Wheelers
summer home on Lake Mcdonald
Current events indicate that Monies
quieu's maxim is still true, Russia, a
democracy, will finally destroy Ger
many, which is not free government
of the people. Russian oil production
was so per cent more in July 1912
than in July 1871. Oil is the chief
factor of victory in this war.
Our danger of defeat from now on
