NOW comes the new factor Of
~ Soviet Russian influence
overhanging all the Middle East
including Palestine.
Joseph Stain is a hard man
TO WOO. and thus far his favor
toward Jewery has been more
assumed than real.
He has so far admitted no
Jewish refugees from the over
run region of Europe into his
Soviet heaven.
His aid to Zionism has thus
far been confined only to gen.
eral principles expressed in
vague words.
Every one knows that he
would not let the Jewish desire
to make a Jewish state of Pal
estine bother him if II was an
indigestible mass in his en-
pire regardless of principles or
promises.
He wiped out the attempted
Jewish colony in Biro-Bijan in
Siberia when il just didn't work
and created friction with his
Buddhist and Mohammedan
monguls.
Nevertheless, Soviet Russia is
replacing Britain as the hero OF
the Jews.
They may or may not be

eminent. The Russians created
a situation that pushed us out.
They made demands which they
reinforced by riots, mass dem
onstrations and the separation
of the five northern provinces,
which they hold. from the rest
of Persia.
Any one, even a Persian de-
string to visit those five north
ern Persian provinces, must
have a Russian visa-and I am
writing from statements made
to me by Americans who have
only recently returned by plane.
When these demonstrations
were at their height, the Rus
slams placed a food embargo on
the five northern provinces
which normally feed Teheran-
and after not too long. the
prime minister of Persia re-
signed and the Americans quit
their posts.

AS THE struggle for oil
"A around the Persian Gulf
unfolds. it becomes clear that
good old-fashioned Imperialism
is at work in spite of all the
grandiloquent announcements
Of statesmen. And this also is
clear:
; The names Of countries, as of
individuals, may be changed but
the substance remains the same.
! Iran is Persia and the struggle
( for the control OF Persia be-
( tween Great Britain and Russia
has been continuous whether
Russia is czarist or Soviet. And
whenever the United States
steps in. at the invitation Of
the Persian government, il gets
booted out, not by the Persians
but by the i1nperialists.
Back in 1910 the Persian
government decided that it
would invite Americans to
straighten out her finances and
put her on a modern economic
basis. w. Morgan Shuster. an
American, was appointed treas
urer-general of the Persian en-
pire for three years and took
along four American assistants.
CLUSTER discovered before
~ he had been in Persia very
long that Persia had been par
titioned between Britain and
Russia and that although these
countries were competitors,
they joined together to keep out
any American. They made his
life in Persia a perfect hell and
finally forced him out. He wrote
a book, The Strangling Of
Persia" to tell the story. The
name Of that country was
changed to Iran-but il Is still
being strangled.
The struggle of Persia today
has TO do with oil. Be il ever
remembered that the United
States is depicting its oil re-
serves to supply its own armies
and navies and those of its
allies, Great Britain and Soviet
Russia.
Because we have been so gen.
erous. il is TO be assumed that
our allies will recognize our
necessities, particularly our
need for accesses to new oil
fields. The best in the world are
on the Persian Gulf.
l am told by oil people that
American companies have had
representatives IN Persia for 10
months, at the suggestion of
the Persian government. TO ar
range for immediate production
OF oil so that the wealth of the
country could be increased. the
standard of living of the people
raised and the political indie
pendence of the government re-
inforced.
0IL men tell me that the oil
~ sight in the Persian Gulf
field is larger than all the rest
of the world put together and
that il is oil of good quality,
with extraordinarily high pro-
duction.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
r. A. *: On the chart the
nurse gave me when I took my
baby home from the hospital
was-"Abnornal findings: Pos
sible atelectaSis." What does
that mean? He was an eight
pound boy delivered by forceps.
Answer: / am surprised the
nurse wrote that down. Ate
lectasis is a temporary condi-
ton. When the baby is born
its lungs are collapsed because
it has not been living an air
surrounded existence. II this
collapse is hard 10 overcome Al
first IL is called atelectasis. But
it was completely overcome or

ness. we gambled stupidity and almost
fatally with our navy.
We quit building new ships.
We even destroyed existing ships.
FORTUNATELY in time to avoid
L national destruction in a new
war, but unhappily not in time to
PREVENT the present war, we re-
covered our good sense in part and
restored our vital navy in consider
able part.
Pearl Harbor was the PRICE of
that nearly fatal lapse.
Pearl Harbor was not the fault of
the navy.
Pearl Harbor was certainly not
credit to the opportunistic and
treacherous japanese.
The American government which
crippled the navy in 1921 and in the
years thereafter, and the American
people who STOOD for the betrayal,
were responsible for Pearl Harbor.
The navy merely PAID for it's
qualification at the hands of the gov
eminent and the people.
The ruthless and ambitious and
prepared japanese merely took AID
VANTAGE of the situation
But we had come awake in time
to avoid a complete disaster at Pearl
Harbor.
And since then we have devel-
oped a grand navy, magnifcently
grand in ships and weapons, super
latively grand in fighting men and
dauntless spirit.
Now the American people have
daily cause to lift their faces in
gratitude to the navy.
They have cause to lift their
voices in praise of the navy.
They have cause to bow their
heads in prayer for the navy.
They have special and compelling
cause for pride in the navy.
Let us observe this Navy Day of
1914 in that spirit, with acknowledge
ment of its incompatible service and
valor, and with the unbreakable re-
solve that the security and freedom
it is now buying at such cost will
be the permanent possessions of all
Americans for all time.

Our Glorious NAVY
By HARRY n. SCHlACHT

TODAY is Navy Day.
We honor our naval heroes.
We hail their glorious record and
splendid achievements.
1t marks the S6th birthday of the
late President Theodore Roose-
welt.
He is the father of the modern
American navy.
OUR navy has unfinchingly stood
Owatch and ward over our bless
ings in which our faith is
grounded, and in which repose
the safety and security of our
people;
Our navy, from whose every mast
proudly floats the STARS and
Stripes" has never meant ag-
erosion.
1t has always been the mighty arm
of our national defense.
TODAY, let us also salute our
i merchant marine, the life line to
our battle line, and the United
States Marine Corps, whose
famous march-step song tells
how they have fought From the
Halls of MOntezuma to the
Shores Of Tripoli."
OUR gallant seamen and women are
Owriting an eternal page in our history.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-10-27

In their veins flows the blood of our
nations heroes and patriots.
They are showing the world that they
are worthy beneficares of their
heritage.
They are battling for mans freedom and
human dignity, for faith and fireside,
for honor and justice.
They are fighting and dying that civiliza-
ton may endure.
The epic of their deathess heroism
fulfilled our promise, sustained our
traditions and added to the majesty
of our nation.
WHAT American has not been thrilled
w by their deeds of valor at Bataan,
Corregidor, Midway, Wake Island,
Coral Seas and the Aleutians?
They have indeed maintained the tradi-
tions of Barry, Jones, Decatur, Perry,
Farragut and the other great names
carved high on the scroll of naval fame.
They are facing the menace outflung from
foreign shores, meeting again the
challenge as met in the years before,
under the spangled folds they are
ready to give all that they have so
that our flag shall live.
THE Bible tells us that the stars in
Il their courses fought against Sisera
and they always fight against those
who seek to enslave the free.
May God speed the day when our glorious
navy will say, to all the world, in the
words of Commodore Perry:
I've have met the enemy and they are
ours"

The Political Action Committee
articles Sidney HImans Political Action Committee
By GEORGE E. SOKOLSKY

III
WI years been discussing the pros
poets of establishing an American
Labor party similar in form and
character to the British Labor party.
Such an organization would, Of
necessity, be anti-communistic.
Efforts to establish it have failed
because of Communist interference
and connivance.
The Political Action Committee
has now doomed this proposal, for
the Political Action Committee is not
only a Communist tool but it has
established itself not to advocate
principles but to support one inevi-
table and indispensable man, Frank
D. Roosevelt.
THE Socialists and more conserva-
i tive labor leaders and workers
fear the consequences of this move.
They recall how in the formative
DAYS of the Russian revolution the
Communists destroyed every demo-
cratic element in Russian life and
finally supported the dictatorship of
StaIin-a single individual of UNI
limited powers.
They recall that even the old Boil
sheviks, the original leaders of the
Communist party, to say nothing of
other parties, have all disappeared so
that Stain today stands alone, die
tator over all the Russian people.
They recall how the Communists
sabotaged all democratic elements in
Germany prior to Hitler, actually by
their conduct paving the way for the
Nazi dictator
And they also note that unbe-
lievably huge numbers of Com
munists switched over to the Nazis,
leaving the Socialists and conserVa-
tiVes to their fate.
They recall that Leon Blum
government in France, which was
socialist and offered France a new
deal" was fought by the Com
munists whose strikes and demon
STATIONS weakened France until it
could not defend itself.
And they note the Communist
pressures upon De Gaulle at this
moment.
No group distrusts the Com
munists more than the anti-Com-
munist elements in labor and they
understand the problem better than
most of the American people because
they have a constant experience
with it.
Communism represents the dis
ruptiOn of organized labor. the sacri-
flee of the individual worker to the
program of a political conspiracy.
A ND these same anti-Communists

the Political Action Committee as a

ated no principle, which stands for

THIS is the day observed annually
i by the American people in honor
of the navy, sponsored by the Navy
League of the United States, and
concentrating the founding of our
naval establishment in ITS by the
Continental Congress,
The year of the navy's founding
was year of many great events, but
none greater than the creation of the
fighting maritime force which is hon
ored today.
The battles of Concord and Lex
ington were fought on April 10.
On June II the name of Bunker
Hill was made immortal in American
history.
Paul Revere had made his famous
ride from Boston to Lexington.
All these were stirring and vital
events.
The American Navy came into be-
ing as one of these vital events.
Our nation achieved it's independ-
. ence with the indispensable aid of
the navy.
It has been maintained as ma
ton with the unfailing support of
the navy.
IF AMERICA ever loses it's indie
i pendence or ever fails to sustain
itself as nation, that dread event
will unquestionably and inexorably
be the consequence of our neglect of
the navy.
Significantly, we are now in the
midst of great struggle in which
such dread event might have &C.
Cured.
Today, the American Navy stands
formidably and invincibly at the
blazing Pacific crossroads from
which presently we will emerge with
victory.
We will be assured of peace by
that victory.
We will remain in possession of
our security and happiness because
of 1t.
But few short years ago, after
emerging from another great war
with victory and peace and chance
