The Miracle of Dunkirk" and the salvation of the battered British army trapped in I landers, arriving safely on English shores, brought a souse of the Divine unequalled in modern times. No such miracle saved the French armies, which capitulated and French army officers under Detain signed the Armistice terms at the same spot of Comiegne as saw the 1918 armistice dictated by the allies to a defeated Germany. With Italy an open enemy, and the great body of people in France a silent ally, Britain continued to fight on alone. The war scene shifted to the Balkans and the Mediterranean as Germans see the French fleet by the British, and the Italian fleet is afraid to try conclusions with the powerful British navy. Attempted invasion of Britain, preceded by mass air attacks by German bombers failed to break the morale of the British. British domination of the seas, especially in the Mediterranean, and British victories in the air with counter bombing attacks by the RAF over Germany, gave impetus to Britains efforts on all fronts. By August the much expected invasion of England became less likely as British bombers scattered the Germans massed on the channel for invasion, and during September, another miracle" occurred when the Germans failed to make the British coast. Help from United States became assured, and the lease of British bases to this country in return for 50 war ships gave cheer to stout English hearts. axis treaty, Then came the an to the United as answer of end the September, by States assiMance to Britain, but the Russian situation is not yet clear, though Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, were already gobbled up by the Russian octopus in July. It is increasingly evident that little inclination exists in Russia for that country to join hands with Japan in any division of the expected spoils of future conquest. During October, RAF bombings of German objectives became increasingly effective, and Hitler and Mussolini conferred on the war crisis, re lilting later in the invasion of Rumania by German troops. Immediately the British opened the Burma road, as answer to the Japanese joining the axis powers, and at the same time the British sank three Italian destroyers. Then came the war on Greece bv Italy, bringing British aid, and by November the world was heartened by the surprizing resistance of Greece, aided no doubt- by the freedom-lovin- g Albanians. In December the Italians are on the run from the Greeks and much of Albanian territory is recovered. At the same time the Italians are on the run in north Africa, and the British air, naval, and land foices are in perfect collaboration in a vast movement against Italian forces which previously had Egypt and the Suez. And so the war at the end of 1910 appears a vastly different thing than at its beginning, and though signs are not lacking of a lengthy struggle ahead, perhaps of years, yet the temper of the British was never better, nad the outlook for final victory and a lasting peace has been strengthened immeasurably. The war situation caused Americas unprecedented conscription measures in peace time, and the tremendous preparations we are making toward total defense. We may be threading a rather intricate pathwy in our efforts to give aid to Britain, for our course is anything but plain or simple. But we have no fears or engage in no debate about our own defense. We aie taking all measures necessary to protect this country from all aggressors. Billions upon billions are being poured into our national defense preparedness program and America is extending her resources in both materials and manpower against any threats from within or without. It is also true that other events reacted to the war conditions. For example, the presidential election broke the precedent of the Third term largely because of the war emergency, and disasters, such as at Kenvil, N. J. in the munitions plant blast, may readily be assessed against sabateurs and Fifth Columnists. The year has also made its assessments in human lives, aside from the terrible toll of war. Senator William E. Borah passed almost a year ago, and the world lost one of its most fearless champions of the truth. Lord of Canada died in FebruTweedsmuir, governor-generary. Leon Trotsky, exiled Bolshevik leader, was murdered in Mexico in August, and Walter P. Chrysler Jr. motor car manufacturer, died that same month. In September William B. Bankhead, speaker of the house of representatives, died, and Sir Henry Grenfell, the good Samaritan of Labrador, died in October. col-L.- s; dlu' linin' nf Irltarmt Entervd mm Jcoad under act of Varch SArur, October fe, Office at Prvro lyST, at the Pott PutoJiioed weekly at Provo, LUA, by ttit Sbaron Cooperative Louctnnl Kescrtse.tioiuu loclauoB of Orem.

DEFINED AMERICANISM AMERICANISM means living up to the ideals and principles of liberty and justice as set forth in'the Deceleration of Independence and the Bill of Eights in the Federal Constitution. Americanism is an ideal, a principle, and a way of life. It recognizes the equality of all persons before the law with special privileges to none. Americanism grants equal protection under the law to all religions, with no favors to any. It recognizes that all men are free to worship God or not to worship God, in harmony with their own consciences. It advocates a total and complete separation of church and largely-commandeere- state. Americanism recognizes that each individual posinalienable sesses certain natural, inherent, rights which no human government has a right to abridge or invade. In the realm of faith and religion it recognizes the conscience as supreme'so long as the individual respects the laws of decency and the equal rights of his fellow men. enumerates certain fundamental Americanism rights as superior to governmental authority, such as free speech, a free press, including the freedom to circulate literature, the freedom of worship, the freedom to assemble, the right of petition against grievances, the right of trial by ones peers, and the right of sovereignty as a people. All these liberties are recognized as belonging to the people instead of to the government, and the government can only correct abuses of the same for the protection of the public. Americanism stands for an equal opportunity for all to acquire projierty rights and to enjoy the fruits of ones labor and enterprise, as well as an equal opportunity to aspire to public office, including the Presidency of the United States. Americanism recognizes the right to criticize abuses in'the government, to disagree with political policies, to differ in religious ideas and modes of worship, and to tolerate opposing opinions whether right or wrong, so long as they do not result in harmful acts or violate common decencies. Americanism recognizes the Constitution of the United States sa supreme authority to which all three branches of the government are subject, and which to defend and preevery public official is serve inviolate, in peacetime and in wartime. Americanism seeks by means of liberty under law to promote peace and happiness for each and all, regardless of political or religious faith. Americanism stands for a republican form of government instead of a pure democracy, and advocates that the sovereignty of the ieople should never be .surrendered to dictators, but should be exercised at all times through representative government.

We began the year with a life and death struggle by little Finland against the great communistic forces of Russia and are ending it with the struggle of the little country of Greece against the fascist forces of Italy, which seem destined to have a far different ending than the Finnish capitulation to Russia, which happened last March. Everywhere during the early part of the year the cause of democratic nations seemed lost. Norway was swamped by Germans from within and without, and b" May 3 the Norwegian army sought peace, and British and French withdrew. Then swiftly followed the debacle in Holland, Belgium and Luxembourg, apd France was penetrated by the German armies to within 80 miles of Paris by the middle of May. The German victories continued until by May 21 the Channel ports were reached, and it looked like 300,000 British troops were lost, surrounded by the victorious Germans.
