'way to the goal of "how to pro-1
duce enough food, doming ana i
shelter so max an men w j "vvto
an amole supply." Goss set up
three euide posts for the 800,000
oranirpri he represents. These
were: "
1. Any program which retards
the production of wealth is un
sound. ' '''
2. The compensation of - each
should be based upon what he
mn tributes to the" eeneral wel
fare. '" '"
3. The prime purpose of govern
mpnt i to nrotect Its citizens
from aeeression. .4-
In addition, Gass warned
sgainst what he termed as "the
grave danger of building an army
larger than our resources will be
able to support and supply ade
quately."
"It would be far better to
have a relatively small army
fully mechanised and adequate
ly trained and equipped than
a Urge army handicapped by
lack of equipment or supplies.
"Some of the reported plans forlt
an army of 10 or 12 million men l
seem to have failed to take intof
consideration that we must not
only furnish the equipment and
supplies for these men, but that
0 we have also undertaken to fur
nish a large portion of the food,
equipment and supplies for our
allies.
"It is high time that a compre
hensive survev be made of our
man power in connection with
the obligations we have already
undertaken," he said.
Other statements made by Goss
Included:
"Whoever writes law or who
ever administers it should never
forget that any price control pol
Irv which will not enable farm
ers to nroduce freely will cause
food shortages and result in in-1
Cation.
"We have attempted control by
putting ceiling on prices, which
only aggravates the cause. It has
been tried time and again, yet in
all world history has never suc
ceeded over an extended period.
It has resulted1 in curtailing pro
duction. . 'black markets' and fi
nally chaos.
"The surest cure for inflation
is an abundance of production.
1 "Agriculture should not ask
blanket deferment of farm, work
ers, but the importance! of pre
serving' the food supply of the na
tion demands that" the necessary
labor supply of this industry be
protected againstrfurther inroads.
"There is a great economic
waste in taking skilled workers
from the farm and then attempt-
ing to replace them with untrained
men,
"We deplore the vicious at
tacks made on congress. They
destroy confidence in our demo
cratic processes. They - create
disunity.
"The grange feels that the only
solution of the farm manpower
problem is a price for farm crops
which will enable farmers to pay
what labor is worth. Such prices
should enable farmers to pay rela-
tivery more for labor than in the
past, for farm wages have never
been able to compete with fac-
wry wages in securing ine oest
-men. t

In the early hours of this dra
matic day, Adolf Hitler had turned
tne mock DacR to June, 1940, de
stroying his armistice with France
on the grounds it was immediate
ly threatened by allied invasion
from the north African coast .
His divisions were moving ,
rapidly through the i so-called

the; great port of Marseille and
the naval station of Toulon, by
way of the Rhone valley and the
Midi. ; J I

French resistance to the Ameri
can forces in Morocco and Al
geria ceased with the capitula
tion! of Casablanca, first city of
Morocco, which was attacked by
land and sea since Sunday.
Rabat, above Casablanca, was
firmly occupied; Algiers and Oran,
main cities of Algeria, already
were in United States hands.
Thus more, than 1000 miles of
Atlantic a si d Mediterranean
coast, all of French north Afri
ca save for the developing bat
tleground of Tunisia, was in the
possession and service of allied
forces for the coming Showdown
with the German and Italian
enemy.
But the Darlan order to end
French resistance applied to Tuni
sia as well as to the rest of
France's north African empire.
Before dawn Hitler informed
bewildered old Marshal Petain
and ; "the French people" that he
had learned "since 24 hours' that
the next allied attack would be
against Corsica and the French
Riviera coast; that therefore, Ger
man; and Italian troops would 00
cupy the Mediterranean shoreline
on j the quickest way through
France" and also "take; part in the
protection of Corsica." L
Aghast, Petain then replied: "I
protest solemnly: accused Hitler
of "suppressing the first assump
tions and principles of the armis
tice" of June 24, 1040, and it was
reported, added that he would in

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 11.-0P)
-Thomas W. Delzell, 4 trustee of
the Portland Electric Power comf
pany, now in reorganization uiw
der j the bankruptcy act, said
Wednesday at a securities and ex
change commission hearing on the
company's dissolution, plan that
relations: between" Pepco's main
subsidiary, Portland General Elec
tric company, and thevBonneville
power administration ; might af
fect bis estimate of Portland Gen
eral Electric's value. !
In reply to a question put by
Paul Peliason, counsel for bond
holders of interest, Delzell said.
however, that he did ! not believe
a long-term contract with Bonne
ville; was necessary. He added that
Portland General Electric "is in
an enviable position so far as ade
quate and stable sources of power
are concerned."- j.
Delzell was cross-examined at
length on the basis he used in esti
mating Pepco's equity in Portland
General - Electric company and
Portland Traction company, which
he put at $25,800,000 nd $6,700,-
oou, respectively. He also placed
a valuation of $1,210,000 on inter-
urban railways operated directly
by Pepco. 1 .
The SEC must give Its approval
to Pepco's dissolution plan before
it can be placed before the US dis

Canada's prime minister Mac-
Kenzie King and cabinet officials
gathered in Ottawa to commem
orate "the loyal service and sacri
fice" of Canadians in the first war.
In a radio address from New
York, Roane Waring, commander
of the American r Legion, called
for a "peace dictated in the capi
tals of Berlin and Tokyo and Rome
while they are still smoldering
from the wrathful fire of our guns
snd bombs,
The moment Germany becomes
"demoralized" by allied pressure
in Europe and Africa she will be
struck by invasion across the Eng
lish' channel , or, north sea, Prime
Minister .Winston Churchill pro
mised the house of commons Wed
nesday, while the nazis were over
running all of France. ;
"An attack which , will bo
made in duo coarse across the
channel or the north sea re
quires an immense degree of
preparation." the prune mini
ster told the electrified cham
ber. "All this is proceeding but
it takes time." j
"Of course, should the enemy
become demoralized at; any mo
ment the same careful prepara
tions will not be needed. Risks
could be run on a large scale. z
In a message ringing with op
timism, Churchill told the house
it could be sure "that many things
are going to happeltin the next
few days," and sounded an omin
ous warning to the nazi's nervous
ally when he said "We shall short
ly have far greater facilities for
bombing Italy."
Describing axis losses in the
battle of Egypt as "mortal, he
said that the wide encircling move
ment of British and American
forces in North Africa had as its
primary object the "exposure of
the underbelly of the axis, espe
cially Italy, to heavy attacks.
Secretary of the Navy Knox,
declaring that a second front
was now "wide open," said Wed
nesday night that America's
part in this war has just begun
and that there was "a long hard
road stretching beyond this Ar
mistice day to that other day
when we will celebrate. God.
willing, not an armistice, but a
victory."
Speaking at an American Legion
Armistice day observance here,
the navy chief called for vastly
increased production of war ma
terials to feed the armies now
fighting all over the world and
said he had been told by produc
tion officials and workers that the
increase could amount to 20 to 25
per cent without increasing hours
of labor or reducing profits.
"A 25 per cent increase in pro
duction would be equal to' adding
an army of millions of additional
trained workers," Knox declared.
"Such an addition would be a tel
ling blow to our enemies. bringing
nearer , the day when 'this, too,
shall pass sway and we can ad
dress ourselves to the problems
of peace." ,
Of the campaign in North Af
rica, the secretary said:
"A second front is open wide
open! This week we have launched
an historic undertaking. The stakes
in Africa are of. incalculable mag
nitude to us and to all the united
nations and to France, that great
and ancient, empire, the - benign
friend of our infancy as a nation
and our heroic companion in arms
in the first world war. '
' "Stricken5 France will struggle
to her feet again. Great races are
not so easily enslaved."
Secretary of State Hull Wed
nesday characterised Hitler's
Armistice day invasion of un
oecupled Franco as a move in
complete harmony with. Ger-
maay's fixed policy of lawless
ness and utter disregard of the
, most solemn obligations.

Unlike the desert :- fighting,

It's being waged day and night
by radio, newspapers, posters,
pamphlets, movies j and word of
mouth. Hitler's favorite weapon
Is being turned against him.
H For example. In Palestine the
axis plays on the old enmity of
Jews and Arabs. They tell the
Arabs they are being robbed of
their lands snd that "as soon
as we take Alexandria well let
you kul all the Jews if you

j The . American, policy is to

what the United States and her

driving home the lesson that the
people of the middle east can
