New Antiaircraft Gun

AS wacplanes developed their capacity to
fly at great and greater height, and SO gained
comparative safety from antiaircraft fire. it
became necessary to make guns with greater
fire power and longer range to bring them
down. This has been accomplished with the
production of 120-mm anti-ai-craft cannon
which is bigger than any other similar arma-
ment known.
1t is capable of firing twelve shells minute
and has an automatic hammer which sets a
fifty pound shell in the breech, adjusts it's
fuse and rams home semiflexed charge Of
powder.
The gun was assembled at Grand RAPIDS
at cost of 100000 and requires crew of
nineteen. Although announcement of it has
been delayed, the gun is said to have been
in combat. Naturally the details of its per-
Torrance are not forthcoming. Its existence
however, is military information to which the
enemy is welcome.
Its nearest competitor is the Comm antiair-
craft gun which sends projectile half the size
of that fired in the new unit IS, 900 feet into
the sky. The range of the new one is not re.
vealed but, as said. is greater than any now
in action.
Again we find American ingenuity meeting
a challenge

problem of the Baltic port of Memel and help

Hungary, Greece and Bulgaria. But Germany
and Japan were already secretly arming, so
his efforts at the various disarmament con-
ferences of the early Thirties were largely lost.
When Franklin Roosevelt became President
and once more called him into the diplomatic
service Norman Davis had carved out such
unique place in international affairs that he
was known throughout the country as our
Ambassador at LARGE
1T was fortunate appointment which made
him head of the Red Cross just before the war
began. His was the organizing genius required
for the supreme emergency. Perhaps his
heart was more deeply involved in this task
than in any he ever undertook. He did not
give up his post adviser to the President
among the elder statesmen, notably in the
consultations which led to the Moscow Four
Power Pact. But the Red Cross came first.
Through that he could bring measure of
peace and mercy into war itself. bind up
the wounds of conflict and ease the sorrows
of an afflicted people. How nagnficiently he
brought every branch Of his vast agency to

Not Quite Tops

The young baritone of Owassa who aban'
doned an operatc career for politics is not
the youngest presidential nominee OF a major
party in this country. The youngest was Will
liam Jennings Bryan whom the democrats NOM
mated in 1896 at the age of SO. But if Governor
Dewey should win he will be the youngest
man ever to be elected to the presidency.
Even then, he will not be the youngest
president When President Mckinley was as
sassnated Theodore Roosevelt succeeded. On
September IA, 1901, when he took the presi-
dental oath, he was two months and thirteen
days under forty three. On January 20, 1945.
Mr. Dewey will be two months and four days
short of forty three. He would be nine days
older than Roosevelt if he takes office.
Despite his many attributes, Mr. Dewey
seems to fall short of being tops in number
of ways.

Finnish Democracy Doomed

With Nazi troops swarning into southern
Finland, which is now plunged into full military
collaboration with Germany, it seems irn2os-
sible that the little Baltic democracy, which
went astray when Hitler invaded Russia.
should have the strength and possibly even the
incentive to restore its democratic government
when the war is over.
Certainly the democratic regime under
which Finland won the respect Of the world
and made extraordinary progress is doomed.
1t is exceedingly doubtful if the return Of
peace will find the people at large capable
Of reasserting their old spirit and of resurning
their familiar control of national affairs. Too
much Fascist virus has found its way into
the bloodstream of its leaders.
If this should prove true the world will lose
much, for Finland has long set an example
in democracy and national decency.

The New York Times saying that no man
In American life sever devoted himself more
Fundamentally to the public service than Nor
man Davis adds that it is fitting that
he should end his career as chairman of the
American Red Cross, directing worldwide
mission of mercy in the midst of a great
war;
Mr. Davis, the Times continues, was only
thirty eight when he joined 'the band Of
young enthusiasts around Woodrow Wilson,"
and 'for the rest of his life he was fighting
for Woodrow Wilson's ideals'' His death is a
severe blow to the organization he headed
80 ably in this emergency.
The Times has been at some trouble to as
semble outstanding accomplishments in his no.

'He believed that peace on earth was an
attainable idea, that reasonable men could be
persuaded to disarrn, and that their agree

reasonable and persuasive man. From Wash

Leo T. Crowley, foreign economic admins

Australia, New Zealand and India are supply

did Our British Allies are not failing to do

But in view of their tremendous deliveries

are inclined to ask, without any hope of re-

food shortages at home Australia and New
Zealand are giving our armed forces enor-
NOUS quantities of table staples-meat, milk
eggs butter. cheese and fresh vegetables, tho
very things we have gone without in great
measure at home
Sometimes figures are interesting as well as
enlightening. This is one of the times. We
present few as submitted by Mr.. Crowley
During the first three months of this year Aus
tralia delivered to our forces in the Pacific

Since Australia began Lend Lease repay.

have come 100000 pounds of frozen and
canned meat, 100000 pounds of bacon and
pounds of cheese and 40, 900, 900 pounds of
fresh vegetables.
Clearly, h e e deliveries have provided
phenomenal relief to American food producers.
They have taken care of the major needs OF
large military and naval forces made up of
men and women who in normal circumstances
would be dependent upon domestic supplies
They are out of the country and so con-
stitute no drain on home markets so far as the
particular foodstuffs here cited are concerned
What they are not eating at nome, it would
appear, should make just that much more for
home consumers. In spite of this, the popula-
ton of the United States is placed on short
rations by the Office of Price Administration
and told that no more is to be had because
the armed forces need what is withheld from
sale.
Meanwhile butter is accumulated in such
quantities that it turns rancid and must be
reprocessed to be saleable, eggs in storage
