BARCtAY A CO., LTD. • Detroit; Peoria Sû Mi/C/V? uninterrupted series o f military suc cesses. Furthermore aggressive oppo . .lion to Uie Churchill leadership has appeared within the Commons. It is led by Hore-Belisha who was dis missed as war minister more than a year ago fo r alleged inefficiency. And while the opposition is small in numbers it has some strong talking points and if allowed to go unanswer ed might create a serious internal problem at a time when the highest attainable degree o f British unity is vital. Prime argument used against the Churchill policy is that he takes too many chances, or, to use a racing term he bets on too many long shots. The disastrous Crete a ffa ir is the latest example o f this. In reply Mis Churchill said that b- cannot and will not figh t a cautious, defensive war. He said that the enemy must be har ried at all times even though the cost to the British army is heavy. And fin» ly he said that the Crete adventure ha.- justified itself by distracting Ger man attention and German military energies from other areas. On the other hand British sea con trol despite heavy losses remains un questioned. The Italian navy with many o f its vessels sunk is largely bottled up in port and seems to have little taste fo r battle. The German navy has often shown courage but, at least so fa r as surface vessels are concerned it is considerably smaller now by comparison with the British fleet than when the war began. And English reports say German submar ine losses have lately been very great. Equally important Britian seems to have achieved a minor miracle in iirming and fortifyin g her island after the terrible disaster in Flan ders which ended with extraordinary evacuation at Dunkirk. The bulk o f British equipment was le ft on the French beaches. American reporters tell o f British regiments marching thru the streets o f London without even rifles. Today Britian is literal ly and armed camp with the finest o f defensive equipment, including according to some new devices which will give the Germans an unpleas ant surprise if they try invasion. Most important o f all perhaps, Britian has apparently gained con trol o f the air at home. Reliable re ports say the R A F has done wonders in destroying attacking planes o f the Lu ftw a ffe. She is receiving consid erable numbers o f long range multi engined bombers from this country ■which aie enabling her to increase her raids over German and German- | dominated areas. | W orst phase from the British vieM point remains the shipping problem. It was recently necessaiy to impose new and very severe food restrictions in England,,, today British diet is definitely inferior to German’s. War materials get first place in the ships and only a subsistence minimum of other materials are brot in. It re mains to be seen w'hat a ffect thi.- may have on British morale. Mr. Churchill also said recently that if England is no worse o f f in six months than she is now she will have reason fo r self-congratulation. In other words he apparently feels that the time o f great crisis is at hand. The period o f fine weather is here and the unpredictable Hitler may have some world-shaking plan: in mind fo r the summer months.

To. be gin with it is clear that the Germans have been immensely superior on land, England is nowhere the N azi’s equal in equipment and it looks as if the British high command lacks those qualities o f thoroness, imagi nation and cold daring which char acterize H itler’s general staff. Every battle fought on land has ended in victory fo r Germany and routs for the British. Even the British succes ses against Mussolini’s spiritless troops in A frica were afterwards competely offset when the German legions moved in. a jT M K E ll FRIDAY, JUNE 27; 1941 7 ••Thanks fo r the lovely dinner!*' w ill be oft-repeated music to your ears when you cook with a General Electric Range.

Friendliest Border in the World years ago in dedicating one S OME of the several international bridges between the United States and Canada, President Roosevelt, with prophetic insight referred to the international boundary as “ the ’one which JOINS our two coun tries.” Never was that so true as t%day when in all things except the political, Canada and the United States are as one. One hundred and twenty years ago the Rush-Bagot Treaty was signed between Canada and the United States. It ended forever the possibility of strife between the two nations which since have gone for ward as neighbors in an under standing and friendship that never vas more knowing or stronger than it is today. When the centennial of the signing of that treaty was ob served. the school children of Brit ish Columbia and Washington poured t-heir pennies and nickels j and dimes into a common pot and , tmiit thr f- a • A n ! vrMch dies the line between Bellingham.

Americans have won and hold i full affection and esteem of t * Canadian people aad not more so anywhere than in British Columbia, the most westerly province of the Dominion. Instead of being re stricted. the border line between Canada and the United States is more open than ever. On the British Columbia side of the line there is a mat with welcome on it that stretches from the most east erly to the most westerly limit of the province. No passports, no visas are needed by Americans to enter Canada. Except for restric tions upon photographic activities within certain small, prescribed military and naval area whi h every reasonable person will under stand, there ore no regulations to prevent the visitor from goi.ig where he wishes, doing what he wants in Canada hut because In these parlous days the United States must also take precautions. it is advisable for \ mm visitor* to bring with them pr> of t their citizenship, such ar a birth ertifl- cate, naturaliza i : certifies e, tax bill or car licen' . n < r t » estab lish their ident.-ty v ith American Immigration authorises on return ing home.
