[ This observation is significant in relation to an- other of Stolper’'s contentions; namely, “it was dis-| belief in Russian help that drove Hitler to invade | Scandinavia, Holland, Belgium and France.” Reali- | zation that the Russian accord would lead to no large scale provision of supplies by the new German ally was “tantamount to the recognition that (mrnmu” could not stand a long war.” If the spring blitzkrieg thus betrayed economic | weakness affecting petroleum supplies, it is not far-| fetched to assume that the intensive air war now being waged against England likewise indicates that Hitler is not prepared for a long war of this kind. The opinion is entertained by some whose judg-| ment is worthy of consideration that it is now Hit- ler's strategy to break Britain's will to resist by re- lentless bombing and air attacks both upon the is- | lands and upon ship convoys. If the spirit of the British people is properly ippraised in this country, their will to resist will not se broken as long as they have food and materials with which to fight. And as regards both, there is nothing to indicate that the German blockade against | the islands has been highly effective. Merchant ships | have been lost, to be sure, but with the added ton- | from Dutch, French and Norwegian sources, the Brit- sh clearly are not confronted with any such acute | situation as that of late 1916 when unrestricted sub- | marine warfare was at its height. | On the other hand, the British blockade against | Germany has been tightened in recent weeks to a | point where imports from important neutrals cannot | possibly be in large volume, This, with the added | burden which falls upon Germany of providing a minimum of subsistence for the millions in occupied suggests the possibility at least that Ger- economic position has been weakened, rather by the developments of the sum- | are: 1 man; | than strengthened, mer, Tin in Alaska (Seattle Post-Intelligencer) The announcement by Jack Underwood, manager of ‘the Washington, D.

The United States depends largely upon Malaya If should seize the Dutch East Indies, | supplies of both these important commodities might be cut off abruptly American chemists have developed several pro- cesses for the manufacture of synthetic rubber. The ynthetic product has several advantages, as com- pared with natural rubber, and several disadvan- tages. The principal disadvantages are that it would cost more and that it would take about two years for the industry to be organized upon a scale to meet national demands. Nevertheless it is gratifying to know that in- dustry can do the job if it becomes necessary. And it is equally gratifying to learn the likelihood that Alaska can produce the tin, manganese and other metals which have become increasingly important |in our rapidly advancing civilization. Incidentally, each new discovery of this nature makes the adequate protection of Alaska that much more essential. Japan Dr. Townsend’s Income (Seattle Times) The tidy sum of $20,412 is claimed by the Fed- eral government as additional and unpaid taxes on the 1936 personal income of Dr. Francis E. Town- The news does not reveal on how much of that year's income the good doctor paid taxes; but adding X to the amount which he is now charged | with having failed to render account, and the total ! must have been very large indeed. Dr. Townsend has had his ups and downs in the matter of personal income since he started out with promise to get $200 or more a month for each and every “senior citizen,” but the total take must have | been enormous.

At the same time it is a bit disheartening to realize that one of the country’s big incomes is derived from the pitiably small means of the country’s aged people, The Italian press charges persecution of their | countrymen in Albania by the Greeks.

This is not a fortunate time for commerce, although the demand | for American exports will be ur- gent, Nationai Issues: Campaign speeches comforting to hostile na- tions will now become too preval- ent among' minor orators. United| sentiment should support defense| plans with increased enthusiasm.| The stars presage changes in Wash- | ington, but not many among ex- perienced statesmen. Isolationists in Congress will become mute as world affairs affright even the pacifists International Affairs: Diplomatic secrets will now be revealed.
