"I do not hesitate to say that right

Civilian industry is giving way to
war industry and war industry is
controlled by centralized political
power" he said. THE task We must
assume when the war is over will be
not only the restoration of civilian
industry, but the restoration of
authority of the citizen over his
government and over the organiza-
tions through which his economic
needs are served"

GAS-GERMANS
ARE DESPERATE.
That's What Jugoslav Govt
Official Declares; Tells
of Escape Trip.
An act of desperation.

That's what Franc Snoj said here
when he read newspaper reports of
the use of poison gas by the Germans
on the Russian front.
Mr.. Snoj, who left Sunday to speak
on the Mesaba range, told Ely
acquaintance that Hitler's use of gas
indicated the desperateness of his
position.
The minister of state in the exiled
Jugoslav government was forced to
flee from his country when Hitler
took over about a year ago, arriving
in England after a breath-taking and
dangerous trip.
With other governmental leaders, he
flew by airplane to friendly country.
Travelling at great height, they used
oxygen masks for eight and a half
hours. From there, they Travelled by
boat for 81 days arriving at New
York Then came a flight by bomber
to London.
Mr.. Snoj has crossed the Atlantic
twice by clipper.
| He was fairly familiar with the
United States through newspaper
stories, but the great distances be-
tween the East, the Middlewest, and
the West astounded him

WHO is
DIR. west?

On Feb. 8, 1910, the Boy Scouts of
America was incorporated, and shortly
after DR.. James E. West was asked to
become its executive officer. He accep-
ted for a six-month period - which
stretched into 81 years.
DR.. Vests life story is remark
able human document, but it is typi-
cally American, exemplary of the
principles of scouting.
Orphaned as a child in his native
city of Washington, D. c., he was
placed in an orphan asylum. He be-
came afflicted with an illness that
left him a cripple.
Determined to make his way for
ward and live a life of usefulness, he
employed his personality, his force,
and his perseverance to overcome
handicaps and obtained an education.
For a year and half he lay
strapped in a bed, a 115-lb. weight
strapped to one leg. The orphanage
considered that nothing further could
be done, and released him.
Then came night job in a laundry
which put young West through hlgn
school.
! Later a day job as a stenographer in
the war department and a night one
in a Y. M. G. A. financed his law
studies He was admitted to the bar
AS a practicing attorney he was
instrumental in developing Washing
toms juvenile court, typifying his in
terest in youth He became recog-
nized authority on conditions affect
ing youth throughout the nation.
In 1910 he left his legal practice
beckoned by the possibilities in new
youth program. He became executive
officer of the Boy Scouts of America
Since then honors conferred upon
him have been many. He will observe
his Goth birthday Saturday, the day
he leaves st. Paul to come to Ely
for the canoe camp dedication.
