that ships are being conveyed, our
losses are much smaller, and the
goods are reaching there, let's not
fool ourselves.
"In second front, / am Of the
opinion that the initial loss may
mean 100000 But, eventually, il
we do not open second front, our
losses will be ten times that amount.
I'm not trying TO scare anyone into
the idea that we're not going TO
sacrifice. But the loss of Russia TO
the United Nations will mean the
hook-up of Japan and Germany

defeat of China and the clearing Of
the Pacific and Bering Straits,
which are only a short distance
away from our own shores.
"Dakar in West Africa, which is
under domination by Vichy France,
is not only now being used by
Nazi subs for its supplies, but it
will also be used for a jumping-off
place for the Nazi hordes who will
try to take Brazil with the aid of
the fifth columnists. People in
this country must open their eyes
to the facts. We don't want any
second Pearl Harbor. The opening
of second front is just one of
the answers we can give 10 the ap-
peasers who sit back while we send
our boys overseas.
"We come from the laboring
class, the trade unions, and we
know what it means when we say

wonder why we have such men as

ON HONEYMOON, TOO

ON HONEYMOON, TOO
That's the story, word for word,
as the little sailor told il last week
when he was in Cumberland rest
ing up before shipping out again.
With him was his wife, even smaller
than he is. They were combining
this vacation with their honey
moon. Married on January IS,
Samuels shipped out from Balti-
more February 5. not enough time
TO have honeymoon.
A seaman for 20 years, Samuels
has been all over the world. He
shipped out February 5 for Turkey
with a load of tanks, jeeps, COM
mand cars. guns, munitions. In
the "a days from the American
coast 10 Capetown, no subs were
sighted and except for continuous
zig-zagging through the Atlantic
Ocean. the trip was uneventful.
In the Red Sea, however. Samuels
got his first taste of action. His
ship dropped anchor one evening.
then moved its position in the
morning. A British craft dropped
anchor on the same spot the next
day and blew up when the anchor
hit an unexploded aerial bomb. Ten
days later heavy Nazi bombers
bombed Alexandria, Egypt. and
killed $50 and wounded 500 civil
ians. Again, in the Suez Canal,
Samuels watched two Nazi bomb
ing attacks and saw British inter-
ceptors down two Nazi planes and
drive off the rest.
In Turkey, where the crew and
officers of the ship on VIII ic h
Samuels sailed were cheered as
the first American shin to reach
Turkish port since 1899, the sup
plies were unloaded.

were sighted three times while
Samuels' ship was still in the Med
iterranean Sea. The ship was Or
dered into port, and Allied destroy
ers and planes engaged the Nazis.
At Alexandria, the ships crew
heard of Rommel's advance, and
heard the sounds of heavy firing
when the ship made its way TO Port
Said. "The British Army officers
and men are no different than those
in the United States Army" Samu-
els said. "The only difference is
that high ranking officials were
having whiskey and soda when
Rommel attacked. These are just
a few instances Of the leavings of
the umbrella man." since the Off
GERS whom I spoke to while at
Suez told us that all they wanted
were the Germans to come to them.
"They were ready. They had
all the necessary equipment for
holding the front, but this was
lost. 1t was a riot and there was
no rear-guard action fought until
New Zealand and Indian troops
were brought from Syria" he ex-
planned.
These actions are just an in
sight of what it means TO wait for
