AXIS BAD NEWS

The following statement made recently by
President Roosevelt:
I'VE ordinarily do rot release production figures
because they might give aid and comfort to the en-
envy am going to give today just few which are
definitely going to give the Axis Just the opposite OF
aid and comfort
I'VE are well on the way towards achieving the
rate of production which will bring sto our goals
In May, produced nearly 1000 planes and
over 1900 tanks. We also produced nearly 1000 ar
tillery and anti-tank guns This is exclusive of anti
aircraft guns and guns to be mounted in tanks.
And here is a figure which the Axis will not
be very happy to hear-in that month alone we pro-
duced over $4,000 machine guns of all types-nclud-
ing infantry, aircraft and anti-aircraft. That does
not include sub-machine guns If we add those in,
the total is well ove- 100000. All these figures are
for single month
while these figures give you some idea OF our
production accomplishments this is no time for the
American people to get confident We can't rest
on our oars We need more and more and we will
make more and And we must also remember
that there are plenty Of production problems
ahead particularly serious shortages in raw
materials which receiving the closest consider
alton of the Government and industry"

The Aleutian Invasion
New York Times

New York Times
1t is not weather alone that shrouds the Aeutlan
Islands in a fog An obscurity of official comment
also wells them.
First we assured that the enemy had lanoeo
in no inhabited" area The landings were even dis
missed as a Japanese "face-saving gesture Then 1t
was suggested that the islands were too rocky and
forbdding to be of much value to the enemy In thls
stage the difficulty of building landing fields ana
submarine basins was emphasized Later 1T was ad-
mitted that enemy ships had entered Kiska harbor
and that troop barracks HAD already been erected on
shore Now we are informed that there cannot be
more than few hundred japanese soldiers there
If that is the case, why have they not been driven
off? More than three weeks have elapsed since they
were first reported and only known attempt TO
dslodge them has been by sporadic bombing through
occasional breaks in the mist The fogs which per-
mtted them to get foothold in the tirst place
should favor equally determined counter attack
provided it is made in sufficient force Experience IN
the East Indies has repeatedly shown that II sucn
an attack is not made soon it will be too late.
We cannot tolerate this invasion OF the western
Hemisphere We could not hold the Philippines pc
cause they were too close to Japan We must hoid
the Aeutians because they too close to our own
continent 1t would be unthinkable folly to let the
Japanese remain where they are, astride our only
route to Siberia and in the very zone that we must
use to launch an invasion OF Japan

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not cOnapeW
TUESDAY. JULY 81


After early morning hours adverse
planetary aspects are active today.
1t is a sway under which persons in
Government or war authority may
be criticized unjustly.
HEART AND HOME: Women are
subject to stimulating and encour-
aging rule of the stars. Under 1t
their mental vision and physical
powers should be quickened. Good
news from relatives in the Navy is
presaged. This should be favor
able day to demonstrate how much
can be done in preparing varied
menu under war conditions. 1t is
lucky wedding day and many sud
den marriages may be expected. Al
though hardheaded economists and
practical parents may not approve
of wartime marriages the stars
presage many stable contracts that
last through lifetimes.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: AS crops
are watched food problems gain
added interest in the United States
which must feed untold millions.
The stars presage changes in diet
among Americans who will continue
gladly to share plentiful harvests
even though they must surrender
luxuries. Work for persons of all
ages and varying ability will con-
tinue to assure general prosperity
even though high taxes limit buying
powers. Scientific Government
planning will stop initiation to an
extent not quite satisfactory, the
seers prophesy.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Dictatorial
powers for the President will be ex-
tended amazingly after an event of
great potentialities. Partisan pre-
JUDGES may be needlessly aroused,
astrologers foretell, but they declare
that postwar democracy will not be
affected, except favorably. Through
the greatest conflict in all history
humanity is to be educated for last
ing peace, it is forecast. Ancient
injustice is to be eliminated in the
new social order.
INTERNATIONAL A F FA R S:
Battles foreseen as decisive will fol-
low one another in coming weeks
when many surprising moves may
be expected on both sides of the con-
flict. Capacity of Axis powers to
bring out heavy reserves after SEEM
ing paralyzing defeats on land and
sea will mislead expert observers
who think they can safely predict an
early end of the Second World War.
Again astrologers prophesy that by
the end of this year victory for the
. United Nations will be foreshadowed
but at least two years more of bitter
struggle is probable, according to
the seerS.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of a year of domestic
happiness. Financial conditions
should be fair.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be imaginative and ideal
istic They should succeed in ar
tistic pursuits for they will possess
unusual talents.

Of veteran members.
Inside fact is that the "compro-
Mise" measure was cooked up in .
chamber meeting, called by
Representative Clarence Cannon Of
Missouri, appropriations chairman
and leader of the house farm bloc,
10 which three of the house con-
ferees were not invited.
The three unlimited were Reprs-
sentatives Charles Leavy of Wash
ington, David Terry of Arkansas
and Ross Collins of Mississippi In
meetings with senate conferees on
the deadlocked farm bill, this trio
had supported the Presidents po-
sition that the sale of government
owned grain, for livestock feeding,
is necessary to insure adequate
supplies of meat for our armed
forces
Speaker Sam Rayburn also was
present at the secret meeting, as
were one other Democrat, Repre-
tentative Malcolm Tarver of Geor-
eia, and all three house Republican
conferees, Representative Dirksen
IF Illinois, Lambertson of Kansas
and Plumley of Vermont.

No Truth In The Japs
Cincinnati Enquirer

Our first official representative to Japan was
Townsend Harris. He went to Japan in 1856. Com
modore Perry had opened the gates of the island en-
pre but it was the skill of Harris that opened it to
the enterprise of the world The treaty which he ne
eotiated was an individual achievement, and it
formed the basis of Japans relations with foreign
nations for more than 40 years And before the war
at least Townsend Harris was hero to the Japanese
people who admitted their gratitude to him, and his
houses at Shimoda and the Legation at Tokyo were
marked and preserved shrines
Harris had thorough understanding of the Jap
anese people but he continually commented on the
deceit of the officials and the fact that alsehood
was often employed even when truth would have
served better purpose; in fact among officials IN

INVITATION DANGER

However, the speaker took no part
II drafting the new bill, tried to
dissuade Cannon from retaining the
grain sales ban, pointing out that
there was small hope of getting
senate agreement to this. Rayburn
also reminded Cannon that the
President was greatly concerned
about inflationary dangers in such
:, gislation.
But the bull-headed Missourian
refused to bulge, and other mem
Lers supported him. Later, Repre-.
sentative Leavy of Washington hot
~ protested to Cannon about be-
ing excluded from the meeting.
Il am one of the house conferees
and had right to be there" said
Leavy. Il didn't know anything
about the bill until just before it
was brought up on the floor. Aren't
we observing democratic processes
in the house any more?"
I'm very sorry you were left out,
Charlie" purred Cannon. Il thought
you had gone back to Washington
to take over that judgeship to
which you were appointed"

Japan, Harris reported straightforward and honest
dealings were total strangers. He came to the con-
clusion that the Japs regarded truth as such pre-
cious commodity it not to be banded about light
y but courtesy reserved for friends
The Life of Townsend Harris makes particularly
good reading these days The reader, however is
certain to come to the conclusion as he compares
the past with the present that the Japs have not
changed Their diplomacy still is based on fasehood,
and truth is not in them. The leopard has not
changed his spots.

Governor Rex Tugwell of Puerto
Rico was flying from his post 10
the British island of Jamaica a
short time ago. and just before he
stepped into the plane, the young
naval pilot said
Il don't suppose Wen see any

So they loaded the plane with
half a dozen depth charges. 1t was
a small transport plane, had no
regular bomb bay, so the depth
charges were merely placed on the
seats.

the pilot looked down, said, There

senate in railroading "compro-

retained the ban on sales of gov
