SAME OLD GERMANY
(San Diego Union)

(San Diego Unlon)
Those optimistic persons who have
cherished hope that defeat might bring
? chance of heart to Germany will be
disillusioned to read the latest outgiving
of Heinrich Himmler. now presumed to
be the nations official voice, that "Now
or later we shall again extend our front
iars and secure the living space which
our Germanic country needs In other
words, if we don't get away with it this
time, we will try again.
Herr Himmler's idea Of extending Ger
man frontiers. of course, means the con-
quest of Czechoslovakia. Poland, Hun
gary, Yugoslavia and such other areas as
are necessary to secure living space
In brief, the Nazi spokesman forecasts
another German onslaught against civil
ization as soon as time and opportunity
permit rearmament.
That is why peace terms cannot be
anything but rigorous, and administra-
ton of Germany by the victorious Allies
Of a character which will render the
nation miitarily impotent for all time
to come.

SHOWS SAVING
IN SUGAR PRICE

A total of 93,825 pounds of
canning sugar has been issued
through the Big Horn county
War Price and Rationing board,
A. M. Crilly, chairman, said this
week.
At eight and a hat cents pei
pound, the ceiling price in home
owned retail stores, a total of
S7,927.l2 was spent Tor sugar in
the county, Mr.. Crilly added.
II there had been no ration
Ing OF sugar, and if the price
had been allowed to soar as it
did in World War 1, when it
reached the price of % cents a
pound locally, the same amount
OF sugar would have cost Big
Horn county home Gamers a
sum of $26,27l, he pointed out.
The difference in the cost of
canning sugar to Big Horn
county home makers for can
mag purposes alone between the
high prices during World War I
and the ceiling price during
World War II amounts to
S18,343.8 8.
If this much money was
saved to home makers in Big
Horn county on canning sugar
alone, MI. Crilly said, lust
imagine how much has been
saved by rationing and price
control throughout the nation"
