America Throws
In Her Weight
No doubt about it. America has
definitely thrown her weight in
with the democracies in the titan
ic struggle to turn the scales
against th_ totalitarian powers.
Will aggression and invasion
remain the order or will it be
blocked. Not if Britain and her
fighting allies and the wealth and
resources of America can help it,
The Lend-Lease act, now in
full force and effect, will b im
plemented with the initial ap
propriation of seven billion dol
lars.
Now watch Uncle Sam unlim
ber in a way never before wit
nessed. Factories and mines, ev
ery branch of industry will hum
like a hornet’s nest.
As industry buckles to its huge
task, and an army of workers
are called to countless new jobs;
as millions of Selective Service
enrollces go into training camps;
every individual with income or
earning capacity will be expect
ed to do his part.
This fact is patent in the an
nouncement of the treasury de
partment that it will begin at
once an intensive campaign to
sell billions of dollars worth of
new defens, saving securities to
the public.
Under supervision of Gale
Johnston of St. Louis, the stage
is being set for half a million
persons to assist in the campaign.
Press dispatches say that schools,
labor union and every other or
ganization will be canvassed for
their coop ration. Arrangements
will be made so that bank de
positors can have bonds bought
for them regularly, with provi
sions for purchases to fit any
purse from a few dollars into the
tens of thousands.
The turning of the tide again-:!
aggression is not a task alone for
armies and navies; for armed
forces of th battling British or
the defensive units of the friend
ly Americas.
The Axis powers ate drawing
their sustenance largely from the
adjacent “neutral” nations of Eu
rope. Britain by the same tok> n
is justified in following prece
dent. And this is exactly where
the Americas may now be expect
ed to do their utmost with Un
cle Sam leading off with the first
intensive drive under the pro
visions of the Lend-jLease act
and the appropriation of billion"
that mean the first real barrage
under the all-out effort to halt
the totalitarian onslaught.
CHILE WANTS SOME
OF GERMAN SHIPS
WASHINGTON, March 25
Chilean Ambassador Cabero in
formed Acting Secretary of State
Sumner Welles that Chile want
ed a part in any arrangements
for the purchase of German ships
tied up in New World harbors.
The Chilean government al
ready lias taken over three Dutch
vessels stranded in Chilean ports
and the ambasador denied all re
ports that Danish ships would be
yielded again. There are five
German ships in Chile and two
in United States harbors.
The United States has been re
ported to be negotiating for the
purchase of all German ships in
the Western Hemisphere. Ger
many is believed possibly favor
able to the proposal because of
the danger of loss in any event.

Outstanding in the swift strat
egic and diplomatic movements
on the European checkerboard is
the announcem nt from Instan
bul that Russia and Turkey are
publishing a common declaration
of friendship.
Interpreted to mean that Rus
sia will aid Turkey by every
means if the Turks are attacked
by Germany, the declaration is
fraught with exe ptional signific
ance.
Russia look a stand Saturday
in the tense Balkan situation by
giving Turkey assurances that
Moscow will give Ankara a free
hand in dealing with the situa
' tion involving a third power.
Only a few days prior Anthony
Eden, keen, smooth British for
eign secretary and aides, con
f rred in Ankara with Turkish
and Soviet envoys, and went aw
ay smiling.
Out of it all comes the con
clu-i n that Russia will do her
utmost—and Britain is in accord
, —in blocking any Axis encroach
ment on the Dardanelles or Turk
ish territory.
Obviou ly, Russia is determin
ed at any costs—-irrespective of
her non-aggression pact with Ger
many—to guard hr one cutlet
from the Black Sea to the Med
iterranean. She is willing to con
cede to the Turks their right to
hold this gateway so long as they
re friendly to Rus ia and will
not interfere with her use of the
iwat rway.
Turkey may be confronted lat
er with other demands from
Russia, or the two may put in
together, possibly with, some un
derstanding as to British inter
ests in the region, hut obviously
neither of the three powers ar
willing to give way to German
aggression in that direction. Look
for things to pop if Germany at
tempts a drive toward the Dar
danelles or into Turkish terri
tory.

labor troubles would be eliminat
