The Casablanca Meeting
THE meeting in north Africa of
President Roosevelt and Wins
ton Churchill so dramatically re
vei led to the world is more effec
tive through implication than in
published fact. If the event was
simply a meeting of two astute
politicians, both noted for ver
bosity, to compose more high
sounding phrases, then It savors
of playing to the grandstands.
However, there Is the Implication
that the meeting had a far more
Important purpose. It Is very
probable that grand strategy was
planned and approved to bring
many headaches to the axis
powers In the months to come.
The meeting, regardless of all
olher possible effects, places the
united nations In the position of
supremacy In the war of nerves
as well as having wrested the of- j
fensive from the axis upon the
battlefronts of the world.
Naturally, the plans tyr future
movements of united nations
armies and the fronts upon which
axis forces are lo tie harried, if
such strategy was develoM'd,
cannot lie publicly announced. We
Can only wait for future develop
ments to reveal the nature or the
conversations that were carried
out behind the closely guarded
walls. But there Is ample indica
tion that there has been agree
ment upon a program In be put
into execution in the near Inline.

rllrJRE was an odd hole in the
new s a couple ol days ago.
A German plane is said to have
dropped a taunting note, wanting
to know why "the Americans
won't come out and fight." The
Americans, the dispalch.es say,
''accepted the challenge" and
made a raid in force to w it.'uu 33
jnlles of tiie Mediterranean ctMsr,
"taking 80 German prisoners."

WANTED us to do, and you may
be equally sure that if we did it it
wasn't just out of bravado.
Our leaders are too smart to
fall into any such trap. If we're
driving to the Mediterranean
coast In that general area wc
know what we're doing, and
probably MEAN BUSINESS.
That's what Rommel fears. If
he doesn't stop at the Mareth line,
thai will be why.

city, to ignore San Francisco, the

John. Hoetlinger, editor of the
Seattle Post Intelligencer, and
Senator Moll C. Wallgren of
F.verett, Wash., are Ihe oliticos.
according to telegrams sent to
Oregon senators. They are ac
cused of trving to bring pressure
on Donald Nelson, chief of WPli. I
to divorce Washington state Irom i
the San Francisco directorate and
create a new district in Seattle.
Mr. Nelson is sending an agent

is satisfactory.

Purchase Limit
Is Increased On
Series E Bonds
Harry O. Pargeler, war bond
chairman of Douglas county, said
today the amount of Series E
war bonds which can be pur
chased by an individual has been
raised from $5,000 to $10,000 in
co-ownership with another Indi
vidual. This does not necessarily mark
the limit, according lo Pargeler.
Ho pointed out that war bonds
to the amount of $5,000 can be
purchased with still additional
co-owners so long as such bonds
are apportioned to the third
party.
i "By this arrangement a family
of four can buy war bonds to
the extent of $20,000" Pargeter
stated. '$10,000 can be held be
tween husband and wife, $5,000
between father and first child,
and S5.000 between mother a-.d
second child.
There is no limit to which this
arrangement can be carried out
between relatives and friends, ac
cording to the county chalrma.1.
"The government puts up no
barrier against an individual who
appears as co-owner with several
others," the chairman stated.
"The holdings of each person is
compound separately. Acting as

bonds concerned are apportioned
to the maximum of $5,000 to each
