lions were made in May, con-
tracts have been let for 1,200,
mostly training planes but in-
eluding 56 of the largest and
most modern bombing planes.
Work has begun in dredging
the channel for the “second-
-niring” Panama Canal.
The work of enlarging the
Wavy is proceeding faster than
Army preparations, which are
iSll held up by the delay in
'Oingress in amending the tax
laws to give manufacturers a
chance to break even. The pre-
liminary work of preparing
plans and blue-prints in ex-
pectation of munitions con-
tracts is going on in hundreds
of plants, however.
Henry Ford has agreed to
bnild 4.000 of the most modem
and powerful type of airplane
engines, and is preparing to
go into plane production. The
Packard company is about
ready to start on the produc-

Rolls-Royce airplane engines.

Announcement Surprises
The President’s announce-
ment that he is in negotiation
with Great Britain for the es-
tablishment of naval bases on
British territory in the West-
ern Hemisphere came as a sur-
prise. Nothing has been dis-
closed as to how payment
would be made for such sites
in the West Indies or Canada.
The proposal to deliver 50 of
our antiquated destroyers to
Britain still hangs fire. Either
some such "swap” or the re-
duction or cancellation of
British’s war debt to this coun-
try might be our payment for
the right to establish naval
bases on the islands of Barba-
dos and Tinidad, and in New-
foundland and possibly Nova
Scotia, as well as Bermuda.
AH such plans depend large-
ly upon the final outcome of
the German attack on the Brit-
ish Islands. There is a strong
belief here among military ex-
perts that Britain is certain to
lose. That is offset by the re-
markable exhibition of cour-
age and unity by the British
people, and their apparent
success in their air raids on
strategic German centers and
in fighting off the Nasi air at-
tacks.
The President, in the course
of his inspection of the Army
and National Guard forces en-
gaged in training maneuvers
in northern New York State,
met Premier Mackenzie King
of Canada at Ogdensburg, and
he promised that the United
States would enter into an
agreement for the joint de-
fense of Canada, should Ger-
many conquer the United
Kingdom.
The expectation that Am-
bassador Cudahy, recalled
from his Belgian post “for con-
sultation” wonld either be re-
primanded or fired or both by
cause of what be was quoted
by London papers as saying
about the effect of the British
blockade on starving Belgians,
and particularly because he
was reported to have said that
the German soldiers in Bel-
gium behaved "better than
American troops in the same
circumstances,” did not come
true. Mr. Cudahy apparently
convinced the State Depart-
ment that he had been mis-
quoted.
Blockade Handicap
The British attitude on the
blockade of continental Eu-
rope, however, is proving a
handicap to efforts to get
American Red Cross and relief
supplies to the civilian popu-
lations of the countries taken
over by the Germans. All re-
ports which the State Depart-
ment is able to get point to the
probability of a famine spread-
ing all over Europe before
Spring and millions of persons
dying of starvation.
As a result of Candidate
Willkie’s declaration that, if
elected, he would start prose-
cution against every contribu-
tor to the Democratic cam-
paign book of 1936, that
party’s managers are figuring
on how to give the money
back. The Attorney General
has declared their plan for a
similar book of paid advertis-
ing this year is illegal. And
Mr. Willkie has called on the
Republicans to refund the
money they collected in ’36
for advertising in the Conven-
tion Program.
For he hath said, I will
never leave thee, nor forsake
thee.—Heb. 13:5.
