Economic Reasons
For Present War

Economic reasons for the en-
trance of the United States into the
world conflict were explained to
members of the Ell Centre Rotary
club Thursday by Zachary Bogard,
Brawley businessman, at a Thurs
day noon meeting in the Barbara
Worth hotel.
Bogard, who has the unusual rec
ord of being born in SevaStopoi,
Russia, scene of intense current
battles, educated in China, college
trained at the University of Cali
fornia with post graduate training
at use. has specialized in eco
nomicS
All wars, he explained, are die
tated by economic needs for suf-
ficient vital materials to maintain
community development. OF the %
fundamentally vital materials, most
countries have only few, Germany
having only nine and the United
States eleven. he said
Because all nations must inter-
change, isolationiSm is impossible
he contended, and for the same
reason any peace, to be lasting,
must permit all countries access to
these essentials for existence.
Bogard was presented b. C. R
Hayden, chairman of the day. w
A. Scheniman, club president, pre-
sided and John Kepley welcomed
three new members. They are Ro-

Navy Relief In
Appeal for Help

u. S. Navy relief became a vital
issue in Imperial Valley, as else
where in the nation, when residents
here were reminded that a great
many of their own former neighbors
are now fighting in the nations
Sea-going forces, riSking their lives
and the security of their families
for the sake of victory.
So important does the govern
ment consider navy relief, it was
poined out, that the Navy Relief
Society is one of three organiza-
tions which will receive all money
derived from sale by petroluem
companies of scrap rubber to the
government.
A campaign to help finance navy
relief is under way throughout the
country, a series of advertisements
is being published telling of the
obligations and needs of navy re-
lief. Readers were urged to read
the ads, learn whT they should
help, then tear out the coupons
and send in contributions
Navy relief, known as the navy S
own Community Chest, has been
supported entirely by men in the
service until the losses since Fearl
Harbor sent the demand for funds
tn an unprecedented high level
This is the first and possibly the
only appeal ever made to the pub
lie.

formed 30 years ago by Admiral

DECISIONS EXPECTED
These developments were expected
to result in broad decisions by Mr..
Roosevelt and the British prime min
ister, who also were expected to
discuss the problems of keeping
cpen sea routes TO Britain and Rus
sia, the Pacific war and general
postwar problems.
The tri-poWer accord announced
on June II did not state that a
second land front would be opened
this year, but merely that agree
ment had been reached on the urg-
ent tasks of such a necessity and
there are many who doubt that
despite the constantly swelling AEF
in the British Isles-this can be un-
dertaken during the remaining six
months of this year, due to such
problems as shipping.
The prime minister and the presi-
dent will compare notes on their
recent conference with Soviet For
eign Commissar Vycheslay M. Molo-
tov TO London and Washington.
In a three-hour speech in Mos
cows Kremlin hall before the su-
preme Soviet Wednesday Molotov
said that his consultations in Wash
ington and London strengthened tn
promise of complete Allied victory
over the Axis and that, although
the shipping difficulties are great
the United States will strive to de-
liver $4,000, 900 900 in lease-lend aid
to the Red armies.

Maryland Members
Of Congress 10 Help
Meet Labor Shortage
Growers Fear Loss of
Crops Unless Workers
Can Be Brought In
By the Associated Press.

Maryland's representatives in
Congress, apprised of the States
serious farm-labor shortage, said
today they would lend their support
to efforts to bring farm workers
into Maryland.
The States labor needs were dis
cussed yesterday at meeting Of
Maryland farm leaders, Federal Off
cials and the Maryland congress
sional delegation in Senator Rad
cliffe's office.
P. C. Turner, Maryland Farm
Bureau president, said there will
be a food shortage if sufficient labor
is not provided to harvest crops in
Maryland this summer.
1000 to 5000 Needed.
Farm leaders said the State would
need a minimum of 1000 workers
and possibly 5000 within the next
month or so to harvest tomato and
potato crops.
Tomato growers are preparing to
harvest an almost record-breaking
crop, farm spokesmen said. An in
creased acreage was planted this
spring to meet the demands of the
Federal Government for foodstuffs.
Representative Ward said it would
not be possible to get any apprecia-
BILE amount Of labor to the Eastern
Shore in time for the harvesting of
the spring bean crop.
Senator Tydings, who asked what
Federal agency would be authorized
to furnish funds for the transporta-
ton of workers during the crop sea-
son, was told by farm leaders they
had taken the matter up with the
Farm Security Administration with
out success.
Plan List of Available Men.
Senators Tydings and Radcliffe
suggested that list of available
labor and its location be compiled
so the question of priority for tires
and gasoline needed for moving
workers could be taken up with the
Office of Price Administration.
1t also was suggested that F. B.
Gambrill of the United States En-
ployment Service, who attended the
conference, certify the list of avail
able labor to the Maryland congress
sional delegation for presentation to
the OPA.
Representative Sasscer outlined
the serious labor situation facing
Southern Maryland tobacco growers
and said tobacco growers would be
hard hit" if they could not get help
to set this seasons plants.

Greatest CONVOY
OF Reinforcenenfs
Arrives in India
U. S. and British Tonks
And PIones UnIouded
At Ports in May
By PRESTON GROVER,


NEW DELHI, India, June S.
AS japanese forces pressed to a
point As miles east of India's
Burma frontier, the British an
nounced today that the largest
convoy of reinforcements ever
to come to the defense of India
had been unloaded at Eastern
India ports.
The reinforcements included light
and heavy anti-aircraft guns, British
and American light and heavy tanks
and large number of both fighting
and technical personnel.
Come Through without Loss.
The convoy put into Indian ports
early in May and was so big it
could not be handled at any one
port. 1t came through without loss.
Among the troops were some In
dian soldiers trained in Britain and
other troops with battle experience
in France and Libya.
Crews of Hurricane fighters and
American-built Kittyhawks now
operating in India arrived on the
convoy.
The number of troops and ma
teriel was described as possibly the
largest ever TO leave the United
Kingdom.
Japs Continue Up Chindwin River.
Japanese troops have reached
Homalin, As miles east Of the In
dian-Burman border, and are con-
tinuing to rush troops up the Chind-
win River in Burma, a British
spokesman said.
The spokesman declared the
japanese evidently planned at least
to strengthen their forces holding
that section of territory captured
in Burma.
Homalin is on the Chindwin
River, 200 miles northwest of Man
dalay.
r. A. F. Slows Movement.
At the same time, the spokesman
said, the Raj attacks on japanese
barge and boat movements I'D the
Chindwin River were so successful
that the movement was definitely
slower.
Except for air attacks on the
Japanese in Burma, British forces
are not in contact with them on the
Indian-Burman front.
The spokesman emphasized that
the japanese troops near the Indian
frontier were not strong enough to
indicate the intention of an imme-
diate attack.
