It was from Kaunas and Vilna that Napoleon launched his drive into the in- terior of Russia, and when Hitler decided on the invasion of that country he followed | the same historic route. Perhaps he will also experience the same fateful and as be- fell that of the little corporal. Anyway, let’s hope so. London celebrated with vodka the en: try of Russia into the European war. Vodka in Russian means “‘little water’, and is apt- ly named for there is little water in it, but plenty of hot stuff. It produces the desire to sing “The Volga Boatman” (in Russian, of- course), just as the bibulous American Tt AP i 4 ade on June 21 by Ur , South A!

There are about 8,- | 000 Germans and 100,000 Italians in a total population of 2,093,000. Clashes have oc- curred between pro-Axis groups and those who favored Britain’s cause. . «For the third time within«a century and a quarter, an enenty «from the’ west eteuek at-Russia in German; troops;gwarmed ayen:the steppes. Napoleon made his attempt in 1812 and Kaiser Wilhélm in 1914, and neither con- quered the vast region. Now Hitler is niaking the attempt with a good chance of | sticcess. He is so sure of emerging as the conqueror that, it is rumored, he will re-| store ezarism and put one of the former | kaiser’s kin on the throne, Although com- | munism is the arch-enemy of the demo- eracies, they are hoping for Stalin’s sue- | cess, presumably because Hitler is the greater menace, even if fascism is a lesser evil than communism. Things like this makes politics strange bed-fellows. Uruguay has been par- | mas’ ‘'invastott’ “wien | borers’ are not alone in against the ballyhoo-seare campaign that seems to be turning their strike into a combination of a Harlan county massacre and a circus sideshow. Without a blow struck or a_ threat uttered, Key West men have seen them- | velves, for the benefit of newspaper rénd- ers, turned inteva gang of rioters, « What's it all Ph a. / > Why the rigt guns, flown here drama- tically from Miami, “as if the strikers al- ready were battering at the gates of the de- fense projects they helped to build? ‘ Suppose the situation had become threavening? And it has not. Suppose the strikers showed evidence of sabotaging the defense jobs or attacking the men who | have returned to work? And they have showed evidence of no such intent. The situation here admittedly might epene omen become dangerous. | to forget that, or to close our eyes to the fact | that their could be trouble. That is why | marine guards are posted at the gates of | the defense jobs, why policemen are patrol- | | ling th Streets day and night, and why the | sheriff's office’ has called out extra' deputies for constant patrol, duty. AUS i But why the talk of troops’ rushing’) here? Why the constant rumors of “in- | evitable” rioting? : There is no quarrel here with the newspapers and news services carrying the | stories from Key West to the rest of the | | state. The news has been sensational | | enough, certainly, and in the form it has | been taking, is worthy of attention any- where. But in the interests of everyone con- erned, isn’t it time to stop the rumor and sensation mill? We expect reasonable pre- — | cautions, andthe publicity can’t be helped, | but this thing is not a circus. | It’s a strike—and a singularly quiet one. FRENCH INDO-CHINA | Recent events have again focused at-, | tention on French Indo-China, which is) | nominally governed ‘by the Vichy regime | | of Marshal Petain, subject to dictation by | | Hitler, but already occupied to some extent \.by Japanese military bases. French Indo-China borders on the | South China Sea, with China on the north and Siam (Thailand) on the west. It’s area of 281,000 square miles is slightly larger | than that of Texas, and it has a population of about 24 million, including some 42,000 Europeans. Its capital is Hanoi, with a ' | population of about 145,000. | } The principal port, Saigon, is 1,044 | miles from Manila, 747 miles from the great British naval base at Singapore, and 1,353 miles from Batavia, capital of the Nether- | | lands Indies. It may thus be seen that | naval bases in south Indo-China would be of great strategic value to the Japanese, if they intend an attempted conquest of the | rich islands of the Far East? For this reason, the {United States, Great Britain and the .. Netherlands | Indies | have long opposed Japanese penetration of | | French Igdo-China, and the question has | been the subject of much diplomatic dis- | cussion. | Germany and Italy have desired to see | Japan become involved in war with Britain | and the United States, in order to divert a | part of their forces, especially the Amer- | ican fleet, from possible participation in | the Battle of the Atlantic. i | MR. WALSH IS RIGHT Tom Walsh, president of the Profes- | | sional Golfers’ Association, is on the right | | track whenehe demands that professional | gamblers be barred from future tourna- | ments, { He knows what happened to baseball | until Commissioner Landis was employed | atid given a free hand to rule baseball after | the famous Chitago White Sox scandal: “He | says that golfers “have built a reputation that our tournaments can be enjoyed by the | public without ‘mutuels’ or ‘books’ and we don’t want to see that’ reputation dam- | aged.” i The attitude of the public toward baseball, football, golf and horse-racing | varies, with the first three Sports having the respect and admiration of the public. The sport of kings, unfortunately, has been bad- ly injured by the betting proclivities that | seem to be inevitably associated with its op- | erations.
