Whatever happens as a result of the war in Europe, North and South America and the Central America that connects them, are being more closely united by new bonds almost every day. Closing of European markets is forcing the American nations into trade relationships which might have taken years to develop under normal circumstances. Many of these require adjustments that may become permanent, will remain even when Europe comes back into the trade picture. For example, if the United States equips itself to smelt Bolivian tin, trade should become permanent in that metal between the two countries. If Brazil rehabilitates its rubber industry, this, too, might form a permanent trade link, no matter what happens hap-pens in Europe or Asia. Many changes and adjustments are being made which, once made and found good, will be hard to dislodge. Quietly but steadily, Canada is moving into the orbit of the western hemisphere. Most Americans of the United States do not realize that even today, as a result of changes made after the World War, Canada is an independent nation. That independence will be even more marked after this war, again regardless of its result. Now Canada puts ah ex clamation point after both its independence and its hemi- chiefly medium and heavy bomb- enhprp infprpsts bv pxchantrintr ministers with Argentina and ers- of 16,000 ordered, only 1"m.

Many southern part of the Hemisphere win serve to bind Canada still closer to its destinies, and give her a more active part in shaping them. It has long been proposed that Canada become one of the nations of the Pan-American Union. This, too, appears to be a development that is merely a matter of the time and the occasion. Canada has large interests in South America, and many of her people have gone there. Canada's increasing increas-ing industrialization' suggests that it may well increase those interests, as it did not long ago in building a new airplane factory in Mexico. Just as it is only a question of time until it will be possible possi-ble to drive a car on a single highway from Alaska to the Argentine, Ar-gentine, so one day all the peoples from Yukon Territory to Patagonia will perfect the machinery of living together Until it shall be an example to the world.

(Continued From P& On) spite modern warfare, still remains re-mains the backbone of the U. S. Army. Under the quiet, steady plugging plug-ging of General George Lynch, the infantry has been making such headway that by comparison the infantry of 1917 looks like an antique. For instance, an infantry regiment regi-ment in 1917 had 2,500 riflemen out of a total of 3,600 men in (the exflft rmmhpr ia nn nffirial I -ne regiment, iiui me moaera m- secret) are still in Canuada await- fantry regiment has only 900 rifle ing shipment. Which adds'.up to this; If Britain One Man's Tragedy When a whole continent is bathed in tragedy, and whole eoples are overwhelmed in grief, it seems almost impertinent impertin-ent to pick out one man's tragedy for comment. And yet sometimes in all this welter of misery, an incident does stand out, illuminating the whole. Derek Jan de Geer, an old man, had been Prime Minister of the Netherlands. When his country fell to the conqueror, he escaped with his Queen, not beaten. But what the conquering con-quering hordes could not do to break his spirit, was done by a simple human relationship. His wife, left behind in Holland, Hol-land, became ill. The Germans would not let her go, harmless though an old and ailing woman must necessarily be. So de Geer surrendered to his devotion to his wife the spirit that cannon could not break. He boarded a German plane at Lisbon to return to occupied Holland and the woman he could not bear to think of as alone, sick, and helpless, among her enemies. . How many million such tragedies are occurring daily in Europe, do you think, among quite humble people whose suffering is not, can never be, known? is to get the 14,000 planes remaining re-maining on order by July, 1942, as the schedule calls for, the minimum export during the next 17 months will have to be around 825 a month a threefold increase over the present rate of deliveries. deliv-eries. Commerce Department figures fig-ures show that in November 241 planes were exported to Britain, while the output was approximately approxi-mately 750. The problem this poses is collos-sal. collos-sal. Ferrying planes by flying them across the Atlantic is more dramatic than productive, since only long-range bombers can be transported that way, and only when the weather permits and trained crews are available. Pursuits, fighters, interceptors and other short-range planes nave to be shipped. That is why those five rusty old freighters were taken out ot the boneyard and pressed back into service, and why England is prac tically scouring the shipping lanes of the world lor every available hull that can carry a crate. Britain Brit-ain has got to have ships if the planes she needs so desperately are to reach her in time. 3D) 11 E FACTORY CO-OPERATION SALE DURING FEBRUARY!

In other words, the modern In fantry regiment actually carries its own light artillery. It can op erate quite effectively without supporting artillery. And instead of going into action, every man abreast, one man to a yard, the modern infantry regiment is able to spread its fire over a tremend ous area In 1917 the U. S. Army did not have one machine-gun at the be ginning of the war and did not have tanks until the war was al most over. So it looks as if the modern doughboy would be equipped to handle himself even more effectively than the dough boy of 1917-18.

Farmers Carrying Heavy Debt Load Editor Herald: After reading the report of Governor Gov-ernor Maw's inaugural address, I gather the following: That there are whole counties In the State of Utah, where the income of the farmers will average aver-age not more than $250 annually: I infer that Utah county Is one of these counties to which you referred. re-ferred. From the county assessor I get the information that loans to the Federal Land Bank of Berkeley, secured by mortgages on the farms, amount to about $3,500,-000; $3,500,-000; and loans to private individuals individ-uals or loan companies secured by mortgages on land in Utah county aggregate about the same amount, $3,500,000. Total $7000,000. The interest on this amount p"er annual is $350,000 at 5 per cent; The county assessor informs me that the total taxes on farms in Utah county annually amount to $780,000. Add these two amounts of outlay necessary to be paid, equals $1,130,000. From the agricultural department depart-ment I get the Information that there are approximately 4,000 farmers in Utah county. Taking the estimate that you made in your speech, that these farmers average $250 per annum, their income i3 $1,000,000 total; In addition to the foregoing the farmers are subject to frosts, drouth, pests, blight and markets; They are getting pretty well discouraged. In your attempts at reformation and reorganization, and reconstruction, recon-struction, please remember the poor farmers. We feel that the burdens of the farmers ought to be proportionate to their income. T. J. SMITH. To Head Rotary ': i ? - ''if """ " "ay A. f Totn J.

Take one point, for instance-the instance-the Nazi medal which opponents of Lindbergh's cool reasoning like to flaunt before the public to prejudice them. Your columns mentioned it only long enough to remind the public of it but with out clarifying the circumstances back of why Lindbergh happenea to get such a medal. The only reason the senate committee brought it up was to clarify the situation. According to Mr. Lwis report, in reply to Senator Pepper who asked Lindbergh how ne Happened Hap-pened to get the medal, the latter explained that at the request of the American embassy in Germany Ger-many he attended a social function func-tion together with other American officials. When he came in he was handed a box with the medal inside. in-side. At the time, there. was no war or obvious friction between Germany and Britain. The Saturday Sat-urday Evening Post stated in a recent article that if Lindbergh had refused the medal it would probably have caused an international inter-national incident. The above is just an example of how newspapers can give out or hold back information in news articles to suit their particular policies. B. A. JENSEN. DEPUTY LEAVES Sheriff John S.
