CONSIDER the plight ot the communist In America. If it were not for the fact that his doctrine Is so inimical to the tenets of democracy, he might, Indeed, be an object for pity. If anyone has a right to be chagrin ed and puzzled, surely the com munist Is that person. Communism In the United States suffered Us first great blow Just at a time when It was .beginning to show a depression fed growth. That was when the Great Father Stalin climbed In bed with Hitler. American communists stammered and fal tered with their alibis, while a great many of the fellow travel ers washed out the henna and re verted to tholr straw blonde stage. But the sterner communist, reeling from the major blow, finally succeeded In a rationali zation of his new position. He revamped the organization for a new campaign. Father Joey was now a .friend ot Hitler. The Unit- CO OIUIL'H Wtta Ulliuuini." uj,wu great industrial campaign to provide arms for Britain to beat Hltlcrism. Communism could best serve by sabotaging Ameri can defense industries. Strikes, slt-downs, and the var ious other weapons of the com munists were employed. While the defense Industry has not been halted at least it has been somewhat retarded by the labor strife which, undoubtedly, has had much In the way of com munistic encouragement. Now with all the finality of a home run with the bases loaded comes the break between Ger many and Russia. Russia will want American aid the very aid that the communists have been trying to sabotage. What will they do now? Must they com pletely reverse their former la bor stand and go all the way out tc stimulate defense industries to save communistic Russia? If so, how can they reconcile their previous position of fomenting strikes for "the welfare of the working class?" The commun ist and the nazi fifth columnist heretofore have worked hand and glove. From now on It will be fist and fist. Surely the poor communist Is In a tough spot. Perhaps that communlstna.l hookup Is the secret. Perhaps a little Judicious prodding and chip on shoulder methods might precipitate a wee hit of internal strife that would eliminate both groups In this country. At least, li wouldn't be any loss to us, Editorials on Newt (Contlnuad from PM 1.) country Is definitely oned with.

British officialdom, you see, is encouraging no wishful think ing. Wishful thinking undermines morale, and Britain needs to be unfailingly tough In these criti cal days. DRITAIN'S No.,1 problem Is to protect the British Isles, come what may. If thjoy are lost, the war will be Irretrievably lost. DRITAIN'S probable strategy Is to get Germany spread out as thin as possible over as much of the world as possible. Getting spread too far and too thin ultimately caused Napoleon to crack. It may cause Hitler to crack. JZVESTIA, of Moscow, soviet government newspaper, says today: "Neither through the forests nor the steppes, the mountains or the seas will the enemy ever step across the forbidden bor der." Words and, as Octavus Roy Cohen says, "they don't mean nuffin'." What will count will be Rus sia's deeds.

For 'Safety' Move BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., June 24. (API Thomas W. Tillery, rancher of Stauffer, Ventura county, California, said today he had sent the following letter to President Roosevelt: "My son, Thomas Wlnslow Til lery, Jr., has just been crushed to death in submarine 0-9. He died without a chance to resist In an outdated, unseaworthy craft. His mother and I find little comfort in knowing that tho modern prod ucts of America's defense effort arc being given to a foreign pow er. Our remaining son becomes eligible for draft in July. "Tom was a valuable man to his country. For seven years he work ed loyally to earn his rating of machinist's mate, first class. You, too, have sons who have acquired rank and position in the armed forces. If they are serving on sis ter ships of the 0-9, or ' arc de pendent Upon obsolete equipment, I beg you, one father to another, transfer them to positions of safety. Then, If we arc attacked, they may die honorably In the face of tho enemy, rather than helplessly at the hands of their own government. WEATHER STATISTICS By U. S.

Summer School of 4-H Wins Highest Appreciation By PATRICIA CALKINS Another 4-H club summer school has come and gone and was voted by all attending as be ing the best ever. More than 2100 boys and girls from all over the state were In attendance. Around 65 Douglas county club members were there this year. fcvery morning was given over to classes of a number of differ ent kinds. The girls had Instruc tion In many lines of home econ omics and simple crafts, while tne boys' classes were held In the Interests of farm crops, live stock and forestry. On Thursday, the last day, the whole morning period of both groups was given over to judging contests. Club members were given their choice of what line of work they wish ed to Judge. The assemblies were held every afternoon and evening. Both were most enjoyable. There was always a number of very in teresting speakers, a few enter tainment numbers, and quite a bit of group singing at the after noon assemblies. In the evening either a stage program or a mov ing picture was enjoyed. One evening two radio plays written j oy i n ciud memDcrs were given over the air. The afternoon period was more elective. There was a choice among moving pictures, puppet shows, museum tours, reading, sports and crafts classes. Swimming was also enjoyed on some days. One of the especially interest ing features was the exchange of dinners between boys' and girls' houses. On one evening half of the boys from a house went to a gals house and half of the girls took their places at the boys' house. Then they chose partners and went to dinner to gether. On the last evening a formal dance was held in the ballroom of the Memorial Union building. This, was one of the big events of the session, looked forward to by nearly everyone. There were parties for those who do not dance but the dance was the main attraction. Truly, a grand time was had by all, and everyone returned home determined to attend sum mer school another year.

DAILY DEVOTIONS DR. CHAS. A. EDWARDS Jesus used the stranger and our attitude toward him as a test of Christian virtue. He judged our religion by our re lationship to a stranger. "I was a stranger, and ye took me in." In other words, I can tell what kind of a Christian you are by the way you treat a stranger. How would you rate in such a test? What reactions take place when a stranger ap pears on the scene? Is it one of resentment, or jeolousy or sell fishment or do you respond with a desire to help? It is no ticeable the businesses and banks and commercial con cerns do not fail to cater to the stranger. They see in him a potential customer and with a more or less selfish motive, they receive the stranger with open arms. The church is a place where we need to be more concerned about the stranger. There Is often a sort of aloofness and coolness to ward them. People are satis fied with things as they are, and a lack of interest in the stranger within our gates. Love ye therefore the stranger. See in him a potential friend, and an opportunity to express Christian fellowship. "I was a stranger and ye took me in."
