In a general way, of course, it is realized that Hitler's present plan is to starve out England while still continuing to subject London to tragic air-raids. But most of the population have little idea how des- perate the Empire today needs ships. NOTE: Britain has now received in trade or for cash 50 U. S. de- stroyers and 30 old Shipping Board vessels. But the time is not far off when new requests for U. S. ships will be forthcoming.

Byrns, Jr son of the late Speaker House Priest defeated Byrns although the district hadn't elected anyone | but a regular Democrat since the Jivil War, and although he com- mitted the faux pax of failing to egister so he could vote. Priest, however, had other strong advantages on his side. For many vears he had been his paper’s “good will” reporter, attending barbecues, airs, graduations and civic gather- of the in Practically everybody in the district knows “Perce” Priest per- sonally. Also, Byrns, first elected | as a New Dealer, had chalked up a near perfect anti-Roosevelt record. Priest also made much of the fact that Byrns' speech against the draft hill had won thunderous applause ‘mxm the Republicans. Nashville generally is strong for national de- fense and FDR.

This is the famous “calico” treaty | concluded on November 11, 1794, with the Six Nations of Iroquois | Indians in New York State. Under this pact the Government pledged to distribute annually “several yards” of calico to each member of | the Cayuga, Onandaga, Oneida, Tus- roara, Tonawanda and Allegany tribes in return for their “peace and For nearly 150 years this treaty has been faithfully kept and this | year 3,300 members of the six tribes will receive their ‘payment” at Sal- amanca, N. Y. Each Indian will have a choice of six yards of printed percale or twelve yards of unbleach- ed sheeting. Hard-working and proud, the Iro- quois insist on the cloth instead of its equivalent in cash, and John Collier, able Indian Commissioner, has arranged that the terms of the ancient treaty be carried out with | | pomp and ceremony.
