To-day Finland is without power

thus" Mr.. Knutson said. 1T Is
not so long ago that the ofhcials OF
this administration pointed to Fin
land and the Firms as a shining ex-
ample of honor, honesty and recti-
tude. OF all the nations who owed
us money, she was practically the
only one who did not repudiate her
obligations to this country. Fin
land met her obligations promptly,
proudly and gladly.
"Mr. Roosevelt and his admins

who have longer memories than Mr.
Roosevelt and Mr.. Hull feel hui

HAWTHORNE, Cal, Aug. 8. (UP)
The Northrop Black Widow Pei,
the first warplane specially de-
signed for night fighting, "is capa-
BILE of shooting down anything that
flies" the war department said to-
day in revealing hitherto secret
features of the plane.
The Widow packs a Wallop in the
form of 20 nm. cannon and so
caliber machinegun armament. 1t Is
the largest existing pursuit plane
as large as a medium bomber-and
at the same time, war department
said, is as swift as fast pursuit.
The plane carries armor bullet
resistant glass and deflector plates
to protect crews and ammunition
boxes from 80 and so caliber en-
emy machine-gun fire.
The Widow has full-span flap
for low landing speed combined
with a retractable scoop or spoiler
aileron called lateron. 1t also has
q built-in apparatus for altitude
breathing and individual heaters
for each crewman, the war depart
ment revealed.

laSt-minute sitting in silence be-
fore the holocaust.
The first planes of the mass on
Slaught came over a little before 10
a. IN. They were tie fighters and
dive bombers. The main road run
ming crosSwise in front of us was
their bomb line. They were to bomb
only en- the far side Of that road.
Cur kickoff infantry had been
pulled back q few hundred yards
this side Of the road. Everyone in
the area had been given the strict
est orders TO be in fOXholeS, for
high-leyel bomEers can, and do
quite excusably, make mistakes
We were still IN country 50 level
and with hedgeroWs so tall there
simply was no high spCt-either hill
or building-from where you could
get a grandstand view of the bomb
ing as we used to in Sicily and
Italy. So one place was as good as
another unless you went right up
and sat on the bomb line.
Having been caught too close to
these things before, 1 compromised
and picked a farmyard about soc
yards back of the kickoff line.
And before the next two hours
had passed I would have given ey-

RED VENGENCE
(San BernardinO SUM

(San BernardinO SUM
The threat to the center of the Ger
man line at Warsaw has revived discus
sion Of the possibilities Of Russian veng-
eance in Fastening the collapse OF the
German people.
The Reds have already served notice
that they will bring the military COM
manders responsible for atrocities on
the Russian people to trial at the scene
of their depravity. The Russian advance
and the German fear Of the Russians
undoubtedly has played part in events
inside Germany.
The theory is that when the German
people face a prospect of Red vengeance,
they will pay any price to save their
skins. 1t is a respected theory. 1t may
become the dominating element in the
final phase of the war on Germany. II
the determination Of the Prussian junk
ers is desired as a guaranty Of peace, the
Red army may have a job, despite Stall
ms declaration that he does not wish to
wipe Germany out entirely.
The British have the motive, the
French have the motive but not the pow
er, the Americans have little motive but
much power to lay the lash on a beaten
Germany Only Russia has all the ele-
ments necessary to an effective invasion
in kind.
Imperial Valley press., 1944-08-08

1t we'll may be assumed that France
is to be the first of the Nazi-occupied
countries to be liberated if the plunging
tactics Of General Omar Bradley is pat
tern now to be followed in the invasion.
And with France freed of any real Ger
man menace keen observers believe that
there will be sweeping move spearhead-
ed by patriots to chase the Germans out
of the Lowlands. These observers be-
heve that Hitler has weakened his west
ern strength in men and materiel to make
a last stand against Stain and to set up
a barrier on the east side of the reich
fortress. If this be true to any great
extent, the time for all occupied countries
to strike seems imminent and safe. 1t is
agreed that once the allies pass Paris the
collapse of Germany will be speedy.
Guaging Bradleys speed, that situation
can not be long coming.

TIME FOR CHRISTMAS

(RlVerSide DAILY PreSS)
Not much more than a month for the
overseas Christmas shopping. That Is
an amazing announcement for mldsum-
mer. From September Is to October 10
is the time to send the boxes for certain
delivery by Recember 20. Anything sent
after that is likely not to get there IN
time.
Retail stores are now filing priority
applications for cartons which meet
army regulations. Other boxes may be
used. but they must be not more than
Is inches long, not more than sc inches
over all The box approved by army,
navy and WPB is the right size and
shape for easy slowing on board ship.
There is one good thing about these
Christmas regulations-they will prob
ably not become a habit In the European
theater this looks like the last overseas
Christmas for most of the boys now
there Americans are all hoping-and
with some justificatiOn-that victory
may be ours and rehabilitation may be
we'll on the way before Christmas, 1914.
For the far east-well, that is for fore

GEARING UP NATION
FOR POSTWAR TINE

Considering the gigantic task ahead tor
this country in changing over from war
to peace, it as well be conceded and rec
ognized right now that we are on the
very eve of that undertaking. Congress,
state lawmaking bodies and every agency
that may have something important to
do with the transition program must not
longer cling to the theory that nothing
can or should be done until there is left
no doubt of the war issue The time Tor
any doubt as to winning the war long
is past: in fact it never existed. But
now il is matter of getting under way
every possible activity that will be con-
nected with reconversion. To put it off
longer can not have vestige Of support.
For those who contend that any def
mite move now would interfere with war
efforts, they may keep on feeling that
way. The necessity to act now outweighs
any contention of these groups. On the
other hand, there is everything to lndl-
cate that the very start OF gearing up
for the postwar days will, in fact help
the war needs. There already is a tend
ency to let down in vital war production
as daily it becomes more and more ap-
parent that the end of the war now is
a matter of months and not years.
There is this challenge before the peo-
pie today-will it not be possible to con-
tinue and even increase the tempo III
peace over war times? Most certainly
the incentive is greater-to build for
peace prosperity rather than to meet
wars emergency destructive demands.
For the timorous the recent confer
ence of governors of twenty-siX states at
ST. Louis, is cited as pace-maker True
enough. that conference was called and
+oI f pamGaiOn
But it was called in the face of declara-
tions from groups fearful that any ac-
tion now will set back war efforts
Some sound proposals were formulat-
ed there and when it is considered that
these state executives represent great
majority of the population of the coun-
try notice must be taken of their con-
vening and their reactions to the call
to begin to set our house in order.
The feeling that no time must be
wasted in getting down to cases on pre-
pairing the country for the moment
when word will come that the war has
ended, has begun to take form in con-
gress and the program to adjourn from
day to day this month after reconvening
last week has been changed and house
and senate members have been called
back with the rapidly changing situation
on all battlefronts as the urgent reason.
Manifestly, and all competent observ-
ers emphasize it, there Of necessity must
be a sharing of the immediate program
by state and federal set-ups, and that
was one of the situations to receive at
tention in dispassionate and logical dis
cussion at the St Louis meeting.
These twenty-six governors know pref
ty we'll how they are going about the
matter and are losing no time in blue

MR.. WALLACE AS
AN OFFERING TO CLIO

Released BY western Newspaper Union.

MIX. WALLACE AS
AN OFFERING TO CLIO
WASHINGTON.-The guessing as
to whether Mr.. Roosevelt will pick
Mr.. Wallace as running mate again
has been whetted somewhat lately
In the congressional smoking clois-
tiers, but 1t is a rather dull game.
The frequently publicized move
rnents for Speaker Rayburn or
Senator Barley as requirements
hardly represent any action or any
attempt at organizing a fight, but
rather the preferments of senators.
The A. P. and ms tried to con-
duct polls Of the senate, and found
most democratic legislators yawn-
ingly surmising Mr.. r. would prob
ably select Wallace as an offering to
CLIO, and that nothing they could do
or say would make much difference.
In fact, most democratic politicos'
seem to have decided to watch their
tongues most carefully, and thereby
have created strange situation,
not unlike the period of frozen
silence which prepared the way for
the third term campaign.
On a free vote of the democratic
side of both houses, either Rayburn
or Barley would run far ahead of
Wallace. A few months ago, few
legislators would have hesitated to
say so.
At that time also, the CLIO was
highly unpopular. Since then, CLIO
has not changed, but it's political
action committee has started spend
ing the 100000 appropriated for the
campaign with some successes in
the primaries.
The fall of Starnes in Alabama
and retirement Of Dies has been fol-
lowed by defeat of Costello Tin the
aircraft workers district in Los,
Angeles) and the defeat of Senator
Holman for republican denomination
in Oregon.
Holman was defeated by former
public member of the War Labor
board, Wayne Morse, generally re-
garded around here as not I'M
friendly to CLIO. The congressional
Interpretation is that the CLIO went
into the republican primary, as
there was no contest among the
democrats, and gave enough votes
to defeat Holman, who was not espe-
cially popular anyway.
