Why has no bombs been dropped over London in the last sixty days? _ Why has the Atlantic——the life-line of Britain — been made safe again? Why have the Nazi submarines—which Hitler terrifyingly described as his ‘pack of wolves,’ been apparently reduced to the meekness of lambs? Why aren’t the French Fleet and the Army a part of Hitler’s military minions? Why haven't the Japanese in the Pacific and Germany jn the Atlantic been challenging America’s one-ocean navy with a tewo-ocean thréat? . Why. have the Latin-American Republics been turning their backs on Germany? Why have the occupied countries of Europe, including “‘Petainized’’ France, been showing increased signs of restlessness and resistance?

Grass Valley Phone 45 Keystone examples as THINKING OUT LOUD Why don't the American isolationists still speak of the hopelessness of the battle of Britain and the futility, if not the folly, of sending supplies for a losing fgiht? : These are some of the questions that have no doubt been suggested to the minds of even the most casual observers during the last ten weeks or more—more specifically since the outbreak of the Russo-German war of June 22. These are questions that imply a change in the conflict abroad in favor of the allies in marked contrast to the dark disaster that appeared to envelop the western democracies a year ago with the fall of France, and with the furious attempt of the German Luftwaffe to flatten out Britain with mass-air bombings. ea The answers to these questions lie primariiy in the “magnificent resistance’’ of Russia to the Nazi juggernaut. It is a resistance which, in the language of Raymond Clapper, writing from London on last Tuesday, “has made the biggest change in the fundamental balance of the war.”’ It is a resistance that is an extension of the resistance of Britain to the eastern front, in the sense that if Russia goes down, Britain may go down, and that if Russia stands up. Britain will stand up—so great is the inter-dependence. No American can wish ‘the one well. without wishine the other well; and to indulge _ the prejudice that Germany should annihilate Russia, but that Britain should annihilate Germany—an experience that John Gunther related of an American woman ‘“‘upper cruster’’—is to risk a bloody catastrophe. In terms of American interests, aid to Russia is aid to America. It is aid that is comparable to a community of citizens supplying rounds of ammunition to their policemen in order to keep a ring of gangsters from preying on their lives and property. You may not like the paunch or politics of the policeman, but they are a lesser poison than the gangsters themselves. While there is nothing noble in an on-looking community of citnzens arming their policemen for a desperate battle against gangsters, there is good sense in helping those who want to help them. America must come of age. The criss-cross of emotions and contradictions of the mind must yield to the clear task to stand united against the enemy who preys on confusion.— Contributed. ; CAMPTONVILLE.
