collaboration are Wendell L. Willkie,
1910 presidential nominee, and Her
bert Hoover, former president, the
latter recent guest at the home of
Publisher John Cowles.
Mr.. Willkie advocates adequate
military strength for the United
States ''to implement and, if neces-
sary, protect and enforce its foreign
policy"
Mr.. Hoover in Minneapolis Friday
night said that "the primary safety
of America will always rest in our
strong right arm"
If that be true, that America must
constantly maintain a strong army,
navy and an air force and that such
will be the program hereafter, then
all the more reason for paying up
as much as possible on our indebted
ness now, for there will be large ex-
penditures on such program. If the
world is so full of fight it is also an
other reason for keeping our nose out
of the internal business affairs of
other countries. If American capital
lists want to invest in other countries
let them do so at their own risk.
Capitalization of wealth during
the first World war caused unemploy-
ment, stagnation, poverty and want
in America for number Of years.
The Ruml tax plan today is repetition
of that financial program.
What some of the congressman have
forgotten or have chosen to ignore
is that no one can serve two mas
ters - the nations profiteers and
the nations best interests.
The congressman who voted for
the Ruml tax plan, irrespective of
party label, deserve nothing but de-
feat at the hands of the voters next
year.

THE NEXT WAR BOND LOAN
(Mille Laos County Times)

The next war bond drive in Sep
tember calls for SIS billion. That's a
great deal of money, and some two
billion dollars more than requested
last April - and that was oversub-
scribed by about Is per cent.
Secretary of the Treasury Morgen-
thau is opposed to forced savings,
preferring that American people use
their own judgment in handling the
money and invest part of it in Uncle
Sans securities.
The money has been flowing freely
into the Golfers of the treasury from
all sources, and the direct bond drive
accounts for at least a part of the
government funds used for the con-
duct of the war.

NEWS REVIEW
Continued from Page II

tory to victory in the south, Finland
In the north is showing plain signs
of war WEAKNESS, even to the extent
of debating in the Diet - the one
chamber parliament - the possibility
of patching up separate peace with
Russia, even though Hitler is likely
to resist such move to the utmost.
Like other small nations, Fin
land is becoming more and more
strongly convinced that Hitler is
not as dangerous as he used to
be, and as he still would like to
be, and 1t may be that the Firms,
never fighting as Nazi allies with
any great enthusiasm, will find a
way out of the present Difficult
ties.
At Helsinki, it has always been
emphasized that Finland is at war
with Russia, not because the Firms
love the NaZis, but because they want
to recover territory which the Rus
slams took from them in the winter
of 1939-4O.
japanese Situation.
All information concerning the war
in Europe, and there is now a good
deal of it, points to the fact that
Italy is not far from being knocked
out, and that Germany's final defeat
is greater possibility than at any
other time
The third major Axis power, Japan.
is in no better position Several weeks
ago, the Japanese forces were driven
away from the Aleutian islands in
the north Pacific, and now they are
losing base after base in the south
west Pacific. One of the most i'm
portant of the japanese airfields,
Munda, was lost to the Americans
and Australians some time ago, so,
just now, most of the efforts are
concentrated on the conquest of
Salamaua on the island of New
Guinea. Here, the Japanese surprised
their attackers few days ago by
showing stiffened resistance, but it
did not last long. However, Salamaua
is still, at this writing, in japanese
hands
"AI Is Quiet"
A few days ago word was sent
out that "all is quiet in Denmark"
The military might of Germany had
crushed open resistance after kill
| ing hundreds of Danes, after intern
ing the royal family, destroyed civil
administration, and arresting almost
everyone who was political, social,
and intellectual leader.
But underground" reports
which come from De m ark
through ever so many listening
posts in neutral countries, make
it clear that resistance is by no
means crushed. The Danes are
fighting on, reverting to their
sabotage, and vowing that they
will keep on fighting until the
last Nazi soldier has been driven
| away.
| Throughout the occupied part Of
Europe, the Denmark news had
most heartening effect, for in many
lands, the peoples are waiting, burn
ingly impatient, for the signal for
general rising against Nazism - when
the invasion of continental Europe
becomes something concrete. APP
parently, there is plan to co-ordi-
nate the "silent front" of the occupied
countries with the military United
Nations front - as soon as it is felt
that it is safe to make the final move
against all that Hitler and his
Nazism represent. That hour is closer
now than it has even been.

Cigdret Output
Up 29th Month

NEW YORK, May 24-Produc-
ton of tax-paid cigarets in United
States in March continued its up
ward trend which has prevailed
without interruption since Nov,
1910. With output at 19,943.0l6,-
900 cigarets, against 1879, 870,-
$50 in the same month last year,
April was the 29th consecutive
month to show greater production
than in the corresponding month
OF the preceding year. These fig
ures do not include cigarets sold
outside United States which do
not pay the excise tax of Z cents
a package.
Cigar production dropped in
April but this is believed TO be
due TO substantial amount OF
cigars going into tax-free con-
sumption with services. Tax-paid
output was 45l .899,387 cigars.
compared with 503,536,469 in
April, last year.
Snuff production in April
amounted to 3,S54,154 pounds
compared with 4.034 500 pounds a
year ago while production of
chewing and smoking tobacco con-
tinued TO drop. The total for the
month was 21,2S0,3S6 pounds,
against 23,790,440 pounds in April,
last year.
