Our race has always thrown back or dominated the Invaders ..." Brave words these, spoken by Premier Reynaud of France as he was tell ing his people of his "last" appeal for help to President Roosevelt. But within four days following this desperate plea, Paul Reynaud resigned re-signed his post as premier of France's "war" cabinet and was replaced re-placed by 84-year-old Marshal Henri Petain, to whom fell the fateful job of arranging a "peace with honor." France, weary and tired under the constant pounding of the relentless German blitzkrieg, had decided to concede defeat.ln order to save what was left of the country from the invaders. in-vaders. Premier Petain's cabinet began its negotiations to end the war through Generalissimo Franco of Spain a friend of both Petain and Hitler. Even before this grave news reached London the British had pledged themselves to continue the war even if France should find it necessary to cease firing. Great Britain declared that Germany had used up her resources in too great a hurry and unless she was able to conquer the allies within s few months all chance of a German victory vic-tory would vanish. Russia meanwhile had stepped into the picture end assumed "protection" "protec-tion" over Lithuania because, according ac-cording to the Soviet, that tiny nation na-tion was busy obtaining Russian military mil-itary secrets that were "threatening "threaten-ing peace."

Evidently the United States does not intend to be caught napping in a similar fashion, should this nation be called upon to defend its shores against invasion. For the $5,000,-000,000 $5,000,-000,000 preparedness program is moving along with increasing smoothness and speed. The President's defense commis-' sion. co-operating with government agencies, has increased the tempo of its program to aid in this mobilization. mobili-zation. From Detroit, likely to be the key point for the mass production of war planes, came news that after Henry Ford and his engineers had inspected two planes sent them by the war department, he announced that his statement of being able to produce 1,000 ships a day, still stood. It was further stated that given giv-en six months notice Ford could turn out this many planes without interruption to normal output of automobiles. Ford emphasized in an Interview that any planes he produced pro-duced would be "for defense only." Paying the Bill Secretary of the Treasury Mor-genthau Mor-genthau believes that the public is "willing and ready" to accept additional ad-ditional taxes to support the defense de-fense program. Most tax experts agreed with him but many cautioned that a hurried revenue bill rushed through congress would have to be reviewed and studied later to see that the tax was distributed fairly among all income groups. POLITICS: Now Is the Time Opening their national convention in Philadelphia the Republican party par-ty faces a difficult task indeed. From its ranks it must pick a presidential pres-idential candidate that will first of all be sble in some manner to match the experience In international affairs af-fairs that the Democratic party can present to the U. S. voting population popula-tion in its candidate. For war or peace, preparedness or lack of it, the foreign situation is to be the biggest factor in the 1940 political campaign. Both major political po-litical parties realize this and many domestic issues, truly Important ones, may be neglected because of it And with knowing this they are concentrating on choosing a standard bearer that will give the American public full confidence that if elected he will be successful in pursuing a wise foreign policy. INDUSTRY: Upturn Since last December, American business has been following a downward down-ward trend but now the picture is changing and according to recent reports of the federal reserve board this trend has been suddenly reversed. re-versed. Government economist and Secretary Sec-retary of Commerce Harry L.

AGRICULTURE: Record Reserve Department of agriculture reports indicate that ever-normal granary reserve supplies of surplus farm products have reached record levels and win be increased this year. This reserve supply held by the Commodity Credit corporation under un-der loans to producers or owned outright out-right by the corporation has a total value of about $1,000,000,000. . Chief crops in reserve are cotton, corn, wheat and tobacco. Smaller amounts of peanuts, figs, butter, wool, mohair, turpentine and resin are held because of loans made last year. This year, loans averaging averag-ing 64 cents per bushel on 1940 wheat, 35 cents on rye, and 30 cents on barley have already been authorized au-thorized and loans are virtually certain cer-tain on 1940 cotton (9 cents per pound) and corn (between 57 and 62 cents per bushel). While farm prices are at a low ebb because of the loss of many foreign for-eign markets due to the war there is a feeling in some quarters that it may become necessary for the Americas to eventually supply most of the foodstuffs for European nations. na-tions. It is known that generally speaking speak-ing these nations do not have huge supplies of food and will be forced to get huge stocks of grain from somewhere. But the situation is so uncertain that the farmer who takes a gamble gam-ble on getting in on some of the "extra-eventual" trade may be left holding a full grain sack. MEDICINE: New Trend Arch foe of any attempt to "federalize" "fed-eralize" or centralize authority in control of the practice of medicine, the American Medical association is now about ready to make available to the public a system or systems of statewide medical care at low cost Details of the plan to be presented are not immediately available but it is known that prepayments to cover cov-er sickness promise to run from $1.50 to $2.50 per month per individual indi-vidual Opposition to any compulsory health Insurance plan was expressed by leaders of the association. Meeting In annual conclave in New York, the A. M.

At least 14 states already have a statewide plan in some stage of development de-velopment EAST SIDE: Accord and Discord On the world's troublesome east side where eyes of the western world are cast in never-ending vigilance vig-ilance there are some signs of accord ac-cord . . . and added signs of the usual discord.

Marring is usually tha first important step that a girl takes as an Independent Inde-pendent person. Before that advice and influence have been used liberally by uncles, aunts, mother, father, everyone. By KATHLEEN NORRIS HER marriage is usually the first important step that a girl takes as an Individual, independent person. per-son. Before that everything has been more or less discussed dis-cussed by the family, and advice ad-vice and influence have been used liberally by uncles, aunts, mother, father, every- one. Even Anna, waiting on the family table, has had her word to say. "Don't you go off east to college, col-lege, Miss Jane. You stay where your friends are," says Anna. "Mother needs you, lovey," says Grandma. "I'd just as soon go a little easy on the financial end," hints Dad. "Now, whether you go or stay home, let me talk to you about your clothes," says Aunt Margaret, Mar-garet, who works in a frock shop. Jane goes to college. Immediately Immediate-ly the agonizing question of a sorority so-rority arises, and all the girls tell Jane such contradictory things that she frequently goes Into hysteria before be-fore deciding between the merits of Kappa and Theta. When she buys clothes her chum goes along. When she gets an invitation in-vitation Mother suggests a yes or a no. The books she reads, the hats she wears, the dances and nightclubs night-clubs she frequents are all a matter mat-ter of mass selection; Jane only asks to be allowed to do what the other girls do. Then comes the awful moment when she has to make up her mind whether she wants to marry Dick or doesn't Nobody can help her here. Mother says she likes Dlclr but then she likes lots of other boys, too. Dad nods his head thoughtfully while murmuring: "nice young man. Very good head." But that's as far as be will go. The girls chorus to Jane that they think Dick is divine, and among themselves say quite different differ-ent things, and Jane knows that they do. Loyalty First Problem. In selecting Dick she learns, with a little first premonition of the gravity, grav-ity, the pain of wifehood, that she has to be loyal to him. She can't criticize him any more, or laugh at him. She can't let anyone else criticize criti-cize him or laugh at him. One of the bewildering features of an engagement en-gagement is this first obligation of loyalty. Often the effect of this on the engaged en-gaged girl is to make her feel lonely. lone-ly. She wants everyone to approve of her choice, indeed to envy her. And if Dick fails her in any way It is much more natural for her to turn back to the old group, and see him ssHhey do, rather than sticking to her own secret conviction that he can't do anything wrong. No saying was ever truer than that misery wants company; sometimes one sees engaged . girls or young wiv.es scting very skittishly, saying things They don't mean at all, and all the time eyeing Mama and the girls to see how they feel about .Dick's ab- L surditjeiu,.. tlCoetfinctti that she, the bride, thinks him rather" rath-er" ridiculous, too. ' ,-- And yet all the while she wants him to be 100 per cent loyal to her; it breaks her heart, it crushes her, if he shames her or laughs at her in the presence of his old friends or his family. Where Treable Corks.' Old friends and family I It Is in these quarters that so much of the trouble arises, and there is need of loyalty. Sometimes a bride rather rath-er likes her husband's brothers and men friends, they sre so admiring snd so much funt But there never was a husband yet who really liked to have his wife's married sister, her aunt Mattle, her high school Loyalty there is any essential quality that bride must acquire or possess it is a feeling of loyalty to her husband, hus-band, according to this message by Kathleen Norris. If marriage is going to be lasting ana enduring, loyalty must be present pres-ent Naturally, the choice the makes isn't going to be perfect. Everybody has a few faults and the new bride must soon realize this and make allowances. al-lowances. If she doesn't she finds herself in plenty of trouble before too long. With loyalty goes its counterpart iriMt This too is vital to a happy wedded life. With these two elements ele-ments no marriage can fail. brother or even her mother snugly ensconsed in his especial chair when he reached home tired and hungry, hun-gry, and there never will be. 'Talk about loyalty!" says Jane. "Why, I'm always going to put my mother first and Dick Brown may as well know it!" But that isn't the answer, and if Jane's mother is a sensible woman she'll be the first to admit it. As for the old school friends, when with a visible and violent effort, finding them for a third time enjoying en-joying his home in the late afternoon, after-noon, Dick makes himself be civil to them. Jane is amazed to feel her spirit flaming suddenly into resent ment She loves Dick, but it is utterly ut-terly unreasonable of him to dislike dis-like Peggy and Joan. And surely, just because one's married one needn't be disloyal to old friends! Loyalty, Haven in all Tempests. It does sound Irrational And yet if Jane wants her marriage to con tinue, wants to build a complete and happy and successful relation ship between herself and her new husband, she will often have to be irrational, and he will, too. They will often have to forego reason for that higher attitude in which all logic disappears in the warmth of confidence and love. All marriages have their difficult moments, but these moments will be safely weath ered as long as there is rockbound. unfailing, instant loyalty between a man and his wife. So put that into your spiritual hope-chest first of alL you brides of June. Love is a beautiful thing. and while young love and passion last they fulfill the law; they brim life with ecstasy. But when they waver, when they are overclouded for a time, then put loyalty in their place. Be digni fled, be silent about the trifles in which your new husband falls you. Whether he is at a bridge party and playing pretty poor bridge, or at a golf club and far behind the others at golf, or floundering In some conversaUon that threatens to make him ridiculous, or ill at ease in some group of your old friends, make him feel that your admiration and under standing are his as a matter of course. He won't mind any of the humiliations or awkwardnesses of the evening If he knows that you are" right, beside him, his- wife, and glad to be his wife, and Teady to talk it all over on the way home.

"We go about in a very nice crowd, most of the boys are more success ful than Walter, and certainly I am not going to make much of him for things he hasn't done and pretend that I like being poor -better than 1 would like being successful!"
