President Hits
At C.arteIs in
World Tradinq

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8. CUP -
President Roosevelt said today that
the defeat of the Nazi armies would
have to be followed by the eradica-
ton of German cartels and strin-
gent restrictions on cartel prac-
tees in international trade.
In a letter to Secretary of State
Cordell Hull, the President asked
Hull TO keep your eye" on the
whole subject of international car
tells because we are approaching
the time when discussions will al
most certainly arise between us and
other nations
The President read the letter To
his news conference and added the
verbal comment that the subject Of
international cartels would become
most important in the next six
months.
The letter TO Hull outlined the
American Traditional opposition TO
private monopolieS and likewise the
liberal American principles Of free
international trade for which Hull
long has fought.
Unfortunately, a number of for
eign countries, particularly in con-
tinental Europe, do not possess such
a tradition against cartels," the
Presidents letter said. "On the en-
couragement from some Of these
governments"

sian participation in the war against
Japan depends on the outcome of
November's election, Senator Claude
Pepper, Cd, Florida, asserted here
on his arrival from California.
Under President Roosevelt many
factors promise Russian participa-

saving of tens of thousands of A

much time" Pepper declared.
Mr.. Roosevelt, Pepper claimed,
can get Russia on our side in the
war against the Japanese as soon
as Germany IS whipped. We could
pour troops into Siberia through
Alaska fast enough to guarantee
Stain against initial reverses dur
ing any time lapses between closure
of the main Russian offensive and

Pepper said he believed that if

war and the granting of Siberian
bases to American forces until the
cycle revolved again and an Amer

Real life begins
For a sinner, that sins
When he lays his burden down
And says, 20 God, .
Strike me down with Your rod
For no good in me is found.
Forgive me right now
And I'll show the world how
A saved sinner can stand and
stay" FPS. 51:13)
God will then take him
And cleanse him from sin
By washing them all away
And will bear all his load
Along life's weary road
Till he comes to the very last mile.
So won't you stop now
And let God show you how
You can live this life with a smile.
P. S.-Just repent of all sin
And by Faith accept Him.
