International News Review
BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

When the most recent conference
between President Roosevelt and
Prime Minister Churchill is over, it
is likely the world will know little
more about the further plans for the
United Nations crushing of the Axis
powers than it knows just now. But
there is no reason to expect that a
great deal will be published - only
enough to show what the President
meant when he said few days ago
that major events" are on the way.
Indeed, they are already develop
ing to the extent that on no front is
the Axis in position to report any
thing but defeat.
The Nazi flight from Sicily has
turned into something like a
panic, and if the island is not in
the possession of the American
and the British troops this week,
one may be sure it will not take
long.
On the Russian front, the Soviets
have won another signal victory, by
IllC Uni
city of Kharkov. Here, the Nazis
seem to have been amazed, for they
had formed no correct advance pic
ture of the immense strength of the
Russian forces, especially their artil-
lery.
And on the islands of New Guinea,
New Georgia, and Borneo, American
bombers are inflicting new and ter
rifle punishment on Hitler's Japanese
allies, making it utterly impossible
for them to recover the initiative, or
to win any new victories.
So, the major events" really are
on the march.
And there will be more to come!
War in the Air.
In the bombing war the Nazis
everywhere are getting the worst Of
it, too.
When American and British
planes few days ago bombed
Berlin and Rome, it became clear

Bond Drive Goal
Set At $639,9OO
Director George E. Sausen
Maps Plans For Third
War Loan Campaign.

With quota of $639, 300 as its goal,
of which $235,O00 is the minimum of
the "E'' bond quota, Pine county's
third war loan drive will get under
way September 9 and will continue
through October l under the direction
of George E. Sausen, Pine City at
torney. The ''E' bond total of $235 900
is the minimum that must be pur-
chased by the public. The state
quota has been set at $4,000, 900.
An organizational dinner was held
at Pine City last night to make plans
for the drive in that area and or
ganizational work will get under way
in the northern part of the county
the last of this week or the first of
next.
All To Be Contacted
Mr.. Sausen announces that COM
mittees are now being organized or
planned for the various communities
which will be canvassed as in the
past, and that every corporation and
municipality in Pine county will be
contacted. A tentative quota for each
community is being established and
as soon as the final figures are de-
termined they will be released.
While the third war loan drive will
entail an investment of all surplus
money and capital, Mr.. Sausen said
that the public should remember that
it is not donation, but the soundest
and most profitable investment in
the world, today or at any time. The
net return on the principal invested
amounts to 29 per cent in interest.
