THIS WEEK—
(Continued From Ftr*t
INTERNATIONAL-
Hitler appears to be having dif-
ficulty in carrying out his blltz-
kreig against Britain, the furious
air attacks of last week having at
least temporarily been forsaken
Attacks on the British Isles this
week have been of little conse-
quence and were widely scattered.
Size of plane fleets have tjeen ma-
terially reduced and many of the
raids have been made by single
planes. Britain claims to have los^
but one plane and airman to four
for the Germans during the attacks
of the preceding weeks. British
planes have continued bombing o*
German objectives and twice this
wejak sent Berlin residents to air
raid shelters.
The British announced Monday
that their forces have withdrawn
from British Somaliland leaving
the African desert protectorate in
the hands of the Italians.
An outbreak of hostilities be-
tween Italy and Greece appears
certain as feelings rise in both
nations. Italian troops have been
massed on the Greece border and
Greek troops kav^ been mobilized.
The Duke of Windsor Saturday
arrived In Nassau, to assumR his
post as Governor of the Bahama
Islands. He was greeted with a
tremendous ovation.
It was reported Wednesday that
Great Britain is seeking a military
alliance with the United States.
Leon Trotsky, exiled Russian
revolution leader died Wednesday
night from wounds received whdn
Jaeques Mortan Vandendrieschd
a trusted friend, attacked him with
a pickax. The attack occurred late
Tuesday. The assailant is reported
to have laid his attack to orders
from the OGPU, Soviet secret po-
lice, who had threatened to kill his
mother unless he murdered Trot-
sky. He was captured by body-
guards ©f Trotsky.

Built On Cotton
Without the pressure of the cotton system the United
States would have been a half century later reaching1
the Rio Grandie. Cotton culture has built a civilized so-
ciety from the forests and plains, of a third of the na-
tion’s area.
Cotton is the great industrializer and tradebuilder.
To spin cotton, England produced the first steam-driv-
en machines, initiating the industrial revolution which
has remade the world.
Hefc in the cotton belt, businessmen build their own
industrial and commercial structures on the base of the
cotton dollar. Just as cotton lifted the ante-bellum
planter from frontier subsistence status, so today cot-
ton means cash purchasing power to farmers in eight-
een states.
Cotton’s power to build a civilized society is truly
kingly, Wuly imperial. Yet it is power that depends on
you and us afe consumers. It stands or falls on our in-
dividual purchase* of cotton products.
