BERTIE AND BOBBY SELL AMERICA SHORT Whether the United States is constructing naval base in Northern Ireland is, of course, some- thing we don't know very much about.

Portland, THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, FRIDAY, JULY 11, l94l ‘appeascment was.slain by Hmn's awv:d !hat Pes mark and Norway cherished, that Holland an gum trusted, that Rumania and Bulgaria sought to maintain until the pressure upon them became too that Yugoslavia lost in a few terrible days, The Senators, because they in their wisdom, and b, | contrary to the overwhelming sentiment of the vast majority of American citizens, oppose the foreign policy of this government, are selling American life and liberty short to preserve a beautiful dream which has been shattered by rude awakenings everywhere it has come up against the ruthlessness and greed of Nazi Germany. Wake up, Bertie Wheeler and Bobby Taft! This isn't fairyland. This isn't a game. This isn't poli- tics, This is Armageddon. Cutting Red Tape (Seattle Post-Intelligeticer) During World War I there Were frequent com- plaints about Army and Navy red tape, the assign- ment of a perfectly good cook to learn how to navi- gate a truck while an experienced truck driver proved a mess in mess hall work, and so on. Almost inevitably similar complaints have been heard this time. It is encouraging to report a different case which | came to our attention recently. The man in the case is a naval reserve officer |and the other day he received a notice from the Navy Department to get ready to go to Greenland | for duty. There ensued a correspondence which we repro- duce only as to its gist, with the note that the ac- tual language was more formal: “Why in the name of common sense should I be sent halfway around the world when all my experi- ence has been in Alaskan waters? You might need men like me there.” “0. K., mister. Glad you told us. Get ready for 2 Alaska.” He's going to Alaska at once. Evidently sound sense can cut through red tape, posal strikes us as not at all bad. But we didn't sit a fact that ought to be noted wherever red tape down to write an editorial about that, What we would like to point out is this. Hitler makes a move against his enemies, the first they know about it is when German shells begin to whiz, tanks to blitz, planes to bomb and parachut- ists to shower down. What wonderful help it would have' been to the de fighting for their lives #f Nazi Germany's Wheelers Bobby Tafts had and them for ound the world that “on re- liable authority” Hitler o launch a para- chute invasion against Crete or was moving an army into Libya to attack the Suez Canal. Of course, the Bertie Wheelers and Bobby Tafts of Germany, if that nation is so unfortunate as to have such individuals, do not have access to infor- mation of the sort we entrust to our Senators. a called rters tol 1 ti slicatios was about may still be entangling a service man in his rela- When tions with his Government.

RUSSIA One of the key factors in gaug- ing the Russo-German war is that the Germans are marvels at trans- portation; the Russians are not. As long as the Red Army can force the Nazis to fight a digging- in, slow type of warfare, Hitler's forces are up against it. But when- ever Nazi mechanized columns are out ahead, dodging through Rus- sian wheat fields, then even if they sometimes get cut off from their own forces, the advantage is very much with Germany. So far, the Nazis have employed exactly 'the same tactics they used 80 successfully in France, cutting through enemy line 1 one mechanized spearhead 1 widen- "originally called the Russians simply abandon them\ The Nazi pill is simply a tablet on the roadside.
