TALLY the day Emma Raymond,
negro, 341 Lee street, found a
six weeks old baby boy in the
weeds near her home.
Last Sunday that little boy
celebrated his fifth birthday and
it's hard to tell which got the big
gest bonus from fate-the child
less couple who took the baby
into their home and hearts or the
little waif who is already repay
ing them. For during the five
years Willie Lee has developed
into a healthy, affable and smart
child, already able to read and
write. And Edward and Emma
Raymond have developed into
proud and doting parents.
"As Don as | saw that baby
lying at the side of the road

said, shining her teeth. Now

she instructed Willie Lee.
The little boy was mute with
shyness but he eagerly gripped a
preferred pencil and printed
words on a sheet of paper.

MoierioI Costs and Price Relief

Wages and materials are the great costs of
operating our business-together they con-
sumo all but a few cents of every dollar the
Company takes in. Wages are obviously
going to be Highland nobody knows just
how high material costs will go.
In the face of rising costs of materials, the
Company does not see how it can pay the
wage increases recommended by a Govern
ment fact finding board until it has definite
and satisfactory assurance from the Govern
ment that reasonable price relief will be
granted to the Company within a reasonable
period of time. This matter is of such inn
portance that it will not be discussed here,
put will be covered by future advertisements
devoted to both prices and profits.
Speaking for our dealers and ourselves, we
can assure you that no customer is more
eager than we are to resume production. We
are doing and shall continue to do everything
in our power to bring about a fair settlement
as soon as possible.

BRITISH WANT WAR

British Tories were pleased as punch over Winston Churchills Fulton, Mo, speech-for several reasons.
 First, they think it is now less likely that Britain will get its loan from this country, and they do not want the loan. Tory leaders would prefer to work out their own prob- lens by closing an economic ring around the sterling bloc nations and using tabbed currency so they could cnly import goods from Eng land. This was the same plan Dr. Hjalmar Schacht devised for the Nazis.
 Reason No. 2 was Russia. It is highly significant that just one day after the Churchill speech, re- actionary Russia-hater Lord Beav- erbrook called secret meeting of leading industrialists to plan a drive leading eventually to wal with the Soviet Union. Present at the meeting were three members of the Labor Cabinet-including Ar thur Greenwood and Ernest Bevin

and squirmed in his chair as he made the admission.
 Why, did you do that?' he was asked. What grounds was there for such a statement if you knew General Patton had actually been reprimanded?"
 Well, technically I was correct, Smith replied with an air that didn't strike committee members as very convincing. While certain steps. had been taken, there had been no formal reprimand at the time the statement was issued
 Smith appeared contrite about the incident, so committee members didn't censure him or protract the questioning after he made his con fession."
 Note-Gen. Smith was not ques- toned about another famous denial he issued, namely his statement that General Leslie McNair had been killed by enemy action when it was well known that McNair and several other Americans were kill cd by carelessly aimed American bombs near St. Lo.

ABUSE OF HIGH OFFICE

It must have been shocking to Alaskans gathered in the Senate galleries yesterday to hear that the Governor of Alaska had abused the power which is placed in the high office which he occupies to the extent of canceling already approved Federal Works Agency project for the city of Anchorage be- cause some of the people of that city were not "cooperatng" well with Governor Ernest Gruenng.
 Anchorage. before the war, was one of the smaller cities of Alaska with population of several thousand persons With the advent of the national defense program and the declaration of war, this small com- munty suddenly found thousands of war workers Hooking into and some 10000 soldiers stationed just outside of town overtaxng the citys facilities considerably.
 Application was made to the Federal Works Agency for help in improving the ctys water system to meet the increased wartime demands, and the project was approved But after this, claimed Jack Shepard then head of the EVA in Alaska Governor Gruening requested that the project be called off because certain people in Anchorage not cooper ating' with him
 This could mean any number of things. Perhaps they didn't vote for the right political candidates or perhaps they didn't their hats the right way

What Does Russia Want?
(New York Times)

 The world has been startled by reports of addi- tona Russian troop movements in Iran in violation treaty obligations These reports still indefin- ite, but they are substantial enough to prompt our Government to send urgent inquiry to Moscow con- cerning their accuracy and the purpose of such move ments if they taking place.
 The reports come at moment when all Of the official Russian agencies of information and opinion are engaged in propaganda campaign picturig Rus sia as being encircled by hostile and warbreeding monopoly capitalism" This campaign is now reach ing an apparent climax in strong protestant ons that Russia will not yield to anyone or anything, but will continue on her way without turning aside. Yet the argument that through the whole propaganda is that Russia must have security that she must secure all her frontiers and that her only purpose is defense against attack
 The rest of the world well sympath with the desire for security by country which has been invaded twice within generation. But the Russian interpretation of this desire raises inevitable questions Tn the of security Russia has already annexed during the recent the following countries and territories:

But the fact remains, the project was cancelled in spite of the pressing needs brought about by war.
 We certainly think this deal" was an abuse of the high office occupied by the Governor of Alaska and it should be condemned.
 Shepard of course, refused to go along with the Governors demand that the project be cancelled, and later resigned As soon as Shepard was out of the way, the project dumped.

Grand Adm. Erich Raeder pur.
porting to show that Britain and
France once aad considered self
preservation actions against neu-

as governed German ideas Of
aggression against Norway, Greece

documents were declared captured
