Out Loud
By H. M. L. \
We are sometimes amused in
listening to a radio commentator
on policies ‘and war activities
abroad to ‘hear him refer to ‘“‘my
sources of information, ‘“‘my reports,’’ ete. Now as a matter of
fact he could have no sources of
information other than those of
the various press’ services, unless
he spent an enormous sum _ of
money on his own account. To
equip a private correspondent with
credentials, eating and traveling
money in all countries of war torn
Europe would require an extremely long purse’ which we suspect

ies and people. Another huge police force, assuming that Hitler
over-runs both Yugoslavia and
Greece, will be necessary to hold .
sullen populations in check. In
other words, we begin to suspect
that this victory, if it proves to be
such, in the long run will be another step toward his ultimate defeat, because Great Britain will
still rule on the sea.
}
.
.
The sea is still the key to world
dominion, and while many will
marvel at the prescience of a house
painter who prepared for war by
creating mighty air armadas, and
arming and training millions of
men for his special ‘‘der tag’’ we
are beginning to suspect that even
Hitler’s restless penetrating genius
never grasped the importance of
the sea, at least, not to the extent
that Kaiser Wilthelm did more
than a generation ago. When historians come to sum up the reasons for Germany’s final defeat in
the War of the Forties, we believe
they will: put their finger on the
primary reason, i.e. lack of a
navy.
We have suspected for sometime, as has also the commentator
referred to above, that Britain has
taken advantage of the Italian
failure in its attacks on Greece to
enveigle Hitler into the Balkans.
The farther the Germans can be
dragged from their primary sourcers of supply the more precarious
their position becomes, so long as
they have no‘navy to‘carry them
food and munitions. With the extension of German forces into Italy
and North Africa, the supply problem increases in what might ‘be
called gedmetric proportions. : An
army has to be fed to be effective, and huge increases in the food
demand on populations already on
slim rations with no avenues open
by sea, cannot but increase hazards to Hitler and make his expanded holdings tenuous and risky.
No wonder Hitler is trying desperately to embroil the French
navy in the war against Britain.

Chamber of Commerce
Aims tor Year
By GUERDON ELLIS
(President Nevada City Chamber of Commerce)
One of the most urgent things needed by the Chamber
at this time is to increase its membership. This membership
drive is necessary for two. purposes — one to bring into the
Chamber a new group of younger men who will add enthusiasm to the organization and_ secondly, there is the urgent
need for funds.
From a rather extensive analysis of present funds secured from memberships and liabilities for operation, we shall
have approximately $150 this year to carry on the Chambers
work. This sum is entirely inadequate. For example, we have
already obligated the Chamber in the amount of $100 for a
descriptive folder. If the Chamber is going to accomplish any
of its objectives it must have more funds and the only way .
can think of securing same is from membership. In the past
other benefits such ag dances and fairs have not been a financial success but rather.a drain upon the meager finances of the
organization.
The Board of Directors have already stated some of their
aims for the coming year. The first one which they have laid
stress upon is that they will give careful consideration to all
requests made by the memberships. Another policy laid down
by the board is that they will cooperate 100% with the Nevada
City Council and Board of Supervisors of Nevada County. It
is the desire of the Directors also to cooperate with all the organizations represented in Nevada City and: any programs
they may wish us to consummate.
Already we have under consideration the matter of holding an annual Community Chest Drive which will be made
for funds upon the citizenry once each year.
Several inquiries have been received by members of the
represented in Nevada City and any
programs they may wish us to con-;
summate.”’ .

The Board of Directors will have six standing committees, as follows: Mining, Highways, Recreation. and Travel

the historical lure of this section including data on old buildings, the Donner Emigrant Trail, and other pioneer land
marks.
The Chamber has just contracted for the publication of
five thousand copies of an exclusive Nevada City folder. The
City Council of Nevada City is cooperating on an equal basis
with the Chamber in publishing this pamphlet. It will be a five
to six page folder containing a map of the city of Nevada City
in cartograph. The map has already been prepared by Miss
Madeline Himes and is an excellent piece of art wok. The
folder will contain illustrations of the following activities:
