Unlimited Emergency
A HITLER controlled world is out
so far as the United States is
concerned. That, in no unmistak
able words, is what President Roose
velt told the world and the Latin
American neighbors in particular in
his tensely awaited address ' Tues
day evening.
That the Axis' conquest in Europe
has now reached world proportions
and is threatening the very portals
of the Americas, the president rec
ognized in proclaiming an "unlimit
ed emergency" in the United States,
an act for which our people were
prepared, but which brought forci
bly home to the neighbors to the
south a more critical situation than
they had known to exist.
This emergency situation was said
to affect the lives of every person
in the country. It calls not only for
redoubled efforts in the manufacture
'. of war materials, but through tha
Office of Civilian Management, it
places a duty upon everyone to do
his bit in an enlarged program of
defense. According to informed
commentators, it puts the country
on a war basis throughout, and clls
for a greater unity of our people
than has at any time. before existed
since the European conflict started.
What the president depicted as
cause for the unlimited emergency
is enlightening, and indicates not
only a thorough understanding of
world affairs by the chief executive,
but the abilities of a commander-in-chief
to organize for action. The re
sponse of liberty-loving people will
be unanimous.
Declaring freedom of the seas as
vital to the preservation of human
liberty throughout the world, Pres
ident Roosevelt stated that Axis ac
tions were threatening such freedom,
that even now they were maneuver
ing to establish island bases which
-would form bases for actual invasion
of the western hemisphere.
Such moves are in fact "attacks"
upon the Americas, and the presi
dent said in no uncertain terms that
jsuch attacks would be met and re
pelled, though they be a thousand
miles from the mainland.
This paper has before said that
there is no turning back in the
course that has been followed, and
we now stand ready to render every
service to the end of fulfillment of
the president's stated program. No
one, not even the president, wants
shooting, but with him we say dem
ocracy was established by winning
a fight, and it can not now be saved
by surrender.

Urgent Call Made
For Navy Recruits
Thirty-five thqusand additional
men are urgently needed for the U.
S. Navy by June, 30th, announces
Lt. G. F. DeGrave, officer in charge
of the Portland recruiting station.
He continues:
This means that the . Portland re
cruiting district's share based upon
population would be approximately
750 to 800 recruits.
As you know, the navy is our
first line of defense, and the ships
of that navy, ships already built,
ships building, and ships joining the
fleet each day from our merchant
marine, must be manned. -
These crews mut be trained prior
to joining the ships of the fleet. The
naval service has always offered
to qualified young men tremendous
advantages, but the navy today has
more to offer than at any other time.
Selective service does not apply to
the navy. The navy depends upon
voluntary enlistments entirely. The

regular navy and the naval reserves.

As an operator in both farming

over seed may sell all they raise on
their allotments just as cooperators,
and they may store wheat raised
outside their allotment, or may sell
it and pay a penalty of about 48 or
49 cents a bushel. If they store their
excess they are eligible for a loan
on that part of their crop, but at a
rate 60 percent of the regular rate.
Wheat farmers of Oregon cannot
afford to neglect the opportunity to
vote, and I urge all farmers in Ore

votes in favor of the quota.
The referendum will be conducted
