long to live came true for Matt Ron
ming of Holyoke who died last Friday
evening of heart failure in a cabin on
his farm east of Holyoke.

been making his home with brother,
Martin Ronning, up until week ago.
He had not been feeling we'll for some
time and announced that he was going
to move to his own place about two

live long. When his body was discov-
cred DR.. Butler was called and death
was attributed to heart failure.
The deceased leaves, besides Martin,
another brother in Europe, and sis
ter somewhere in the east.
Funeral services were held Wednes-
day at Holyoke.

BY GEORG STRANDvOLD

This week the Roosevelt Churchill
conference at Quebec came to an end,
and it is possible that it's results will
sho wthemselves in the form of in
tensified war action on several fronts
in the near future; apparently there
is definite agreement that an almost
equal measure of attention will be
paid to both Germany and Japan.
One ramificatiOn of the confer
ence which had not invited Russia
to take part, was that the Soviet
ambassador in Washington, Max
i'm LitvinOv, was Ousted by his
government.
For although Russia comments on the
absence of an invitation to Quebec
were very restrained, it was clear
enough that Moscow did not like to
be left. outside this sixth Roosevelt
Churchill meeting - as it had been
left outside the five previous ones.
CAT the time of the Casablanca con-
ference in January, it was explained
that Stain had been invited but that
he had replied he was too busy fight
ing, so, couldn't Gomez
Beginnings.
There is some reason to believe that
the actual invasion of the European
continent will start fairly soon; there
is also reason to assume that time
and places will not be announced be-
forehand.
In a certain sense, it may be said
that the invasion began when Amer
ican troops landed in North Africa in
November of last year; there the foun-
dation was laid, and when Fascists and
Nazis had been forced out of Africa,
American, British, and Canadian
troops landed on the Italian island of
Sicily, conquering it within less than
six week.

international News Review

Americans, there is a mere jump
across the Strait to the Italian
Peninsula - that is, in other
words, to the European continent.
But even though one invasion route
may lead up through Italy, there are
likely to be several others.
War Against Japan
AS Sicily formed an important part
of the discussions of the European
war, so the American conquest of the
Aleutian island of Kiska - and the
SEEMINGLY imminent conquest of Sal
amaua on New Guinea - was a part
of the background for talks about the
war against Japan.
There were other parallels, for
Japan has recently Jared just as bad
ly as has her European ally, Ger
many - that is, going straight from
defeat to defeat with never victory
in between to relieve the gloomy
monotony.
On the South Sea islands Americans
and Australians have driven the jap
anese from one position after the
other, and in the far north Pacific
these enemies have finally been COM
pletely routed, losing first Attu and
now, the other day, Kiska.
This means two things: One is
that the danger of Japanese in
vasiOn of the North American con-
tinent is more remote than ever,
and the other that the bomber
route from the United States and
Canada to Japan itself win be-
practically unobstructed.
1t may be expected that the UniteR
Nations will establish air bases I'M the.
and they will be an im-
portant factor in connection with the.
business of defeating the NippunesE
empire.
