IUlITlSir SITUATION DKSriCKATK Thi.s column sometimes has bce.i aroused of being- too pessimistic about Britain's chances of victory. vic-tory. However, we behec it is only fair to the British to report the obstacles they face, and also wise for the American people to realize the future obstacles which they may face. Therefore, we must report further that there is increasing fear inside the U. S. Army and Navy that Eritain cannot can-not hold out against Hitler. In fact, the British situation, at the present writing, must be described as desperate. This conclusion Is based upon the fact that in the past week Nazi plane have assumed complete com-plete control of the air over Kng-land. Kng-land. The performance of the Royal Air Force Jiaa been gallant and heroic, but of late more spectacular spectac-ular than effective, despite its bombing of Berlin. The ratio of Nazi casualties, as compared to the British, has dropped. British pilots, spending longer hours than any air expert ever contemplated, ere weary and jaded. British airplane production has kept, up better than expected and POO new planes per month take the air. But this merely supplies reinforcements. And 900 planes in a month are nothing when 'you realize that 2,000 Nazi bombers sometimes come over England in a day. U. S. AW jt- Tn view of these developments, two important questions are under un-der discussion in Washington to-dav. to-dav. One is what further help the United States can give Britain to keep her fighting. Two is joint Anglo-American defense plans irf case England falls. Regarding the first, the British Brit-ish already have made it clear that what would help their cause tremendously would be the purchase pur-chase of U. S. Army flying fortresses, fort-resses, and the loan of the famous fa-mous U. S. bombsight. Acquisition of these would permit per-mit the British to carry the -war into the camp of the enemy as never before. U. S. military strategists strate-gists figure that England's slow preparedness start never can catch up with the Nazis; therefore best British strategy is to continue to rain tombs over Hamburg and Berlin. To this end they would also like to get the famous bomb-sight bomb-sight which the Army and Navy have perfected and which is sup- r" t r " i , ' - , : ' n i We Repair All Make3 of Radios and Guarantee Our Work! 8 Mclvin S.

They hinge around the hope that most of trie British fleet can cooperate with the United States in defending defend-ing the Western Hemisphere. Also they hinge a round the strategy of a continued blockade of Europe. After all, Hitler must feed Europe after he gets it, also Germany must have certain strategic stra-tegic materials ouch as tin and rubber. The Br Hi h fleet, still in control of the Indian Ocean, together to-gether with the U. R. fleet in the Western Hemisphere can en-! .force an effective blockade. Note: Those who have talked with President Roosevelt, in the lst few days find him completely absorbed with Britain's desperate predicament.

Smith, recruiter in charge of the Provo navy recruiting station, sta-tion, put it. It seemed to your inquiring 'reporter that Chief Smith was a little incredulous himself of what he had been reading in a sheaf of papers he had on his desk. "I've never seen anything like it in my 17 years" service. Why, this old navy of ours is going to 1? big over 400,-000 400,-000 men four times what we had six months ago. Listen to this list of ships we're going to have: 35 battleships we have 15 now and 10 building; 88 cruisers we have 37 at present; 29 aircraft carriers we now have six; ISO submarines we have 102 of these; and 378 destroyers, compared with 1S7 we have at the present time, which of course doesn't include the 50 we just transferred to Britain. We're acquiring dozens of ships from the merchant marine mar-ine to be converted into transports, trans-ports, tenders, and minesweeps. And as for the 'shoreside' navy we're going to open new shipyards in Philadelphia and Chester, Pa., Eos Angeles and Oakland, Calif., Beaumont, Texas, Birmingham, Ala., Tampa, Fla., and Wilmington, Wilming-ton, Del. Yes, we're going to have quite a navy bigger in a few years than the navies of any two countries in the world." What about 'opportunity knocking,' knock-ing,' your reporter wanted to know. "Well, just this," responded Chief Smith, a smile lighting his good humored face, "It took me 16 years to get where I am in the navy today. I figure it will take a youngster coming in the navy row just about half that length of time. You see, advancement advance-ment will be faster a great deal faster the way the navy's expanding. There'll be no slumps in the promotional system -- no waiting for long periods of time for certain ratings to 'open up,' as T had to do a few years ago.

And the whole story h a pretty good thing to insist on when you're igurirlg heating costs, too. For instance, someone may tell you that you can save money by using such-and-such fuel and so-and-so equipment. All right. Perhaps it's true as far as it goes. The trouble is, it's only part of the story. Let's be specific. Suppose a certain fuel will heat your home for an average of S-18.00 per year. What about your other expenses cooking, water-heating, and refrigeration? Let's say $72 a year on! the average, to be very conservative. conserva-tive. That makes a total of $120 a year for the 1 big jobs. Here's the pay-off: Now suppose Gas heat costs an average of $66 per year. (Don't stop reading. The best part of the story is coming!) With complete Gas service, your other expense: cooking, wa-ter-hrating, and refrigeration will be only about $12 a year. And 'that's a total of only $108 per year. It's the total that really counts, isn't it? (The above figures, of course, are only typical. Your particular partic-ular costs may vary but the proportion' will be about the same, regardless of the size of your house.) Isn't is worth looking into? Come in for further details. We'll be pleased to give you an estimate of costs for your home, without the slightest obligation. r Gas is economical because the rate troes down as you use more of it. And remember Gas is the only fuel that offers you this advantage, because be-cause it's the only fuel that can do t he four his: jobs.
