PAGE EIGHT MEDFORD MATE TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1939. FIRST CANADIANS AT SCOTCH PORT 'Where The Hell Is Hitler?' First Question Expect No Picnic Says Leader. By Draw Mlddlelon Somewhere In Great Britain, Dec. 19. IF) Cheering, sing ing and shouting, "Where the hell is Hitler?" the vanguard of Canada's contribution to the empire's armies strode down transport gangplanks Sunday and Monday in a fog-shrouded Scottish port. Stolid Scots yelled themselves hoarse and warplanes and guns of men o'war kept watch. Leading the first contingent of the Canadian active service force, which includes a hundred or so United States, boys, was Major General Andrew G. L. McNaughton, grizzled veteran of the World war. "We know this Is not a glor ious adventure but a Job that has to be done," General Mc Naughton told newsmen. Eden Among Greeters Officially greeting the Cana dians on the dock were An thony Eden, dominions secre tary, T. A. Crerar, Canadian defense minister, Vincent Mas sey, the dominion's high com mission in London, and Major General T. S. Bldwell-Webster, deputy quartermaster general of the British expeditionary force. Two thousand Scots formed an unofficial welcoming com' mittee and split the Sunday quiet with their cheers as the identity of the troops became known. Speaking to the troops, Eden said "It may be the struggle on which we are engaged may be long it will certainly be tough we all know that. But In the assurance of the unit of all peo ples of the British common wealth is the certainty of final victory." Travel Long Distance The troops included a battal ion of infantry from the mari time provinces and a hospital corps that had traveled 6,000 miles from British Columbia. The first man ashore was Sergt. Bernard Grcgson, of St. Stephen, New Brunswick, who left his wife and two children to "take a whack at that fel low." The stalwart, tanned men from overseas were like a breath of fresh air In the dingy Scotch port. They cheered the slim grey ships which convoyed them and the sailors cheered back. They cheered the people on the dock and how the Scots cheered backl "It's Canadians coming," one woman shouted hysterically. Hundreds of Dogs Stolen And Sold To Medic College Minneapolis, Dec. 19.

(P) The Roosevelt administration turned down flatly a war loan inquiry from the British gov ernment last spring, It was learned officially today. The "inside story" of pre-war financial preparations showed that Jesse H. Jones and others told the British such a loan from the Reconstruction Fi nance corporation was "out of the window" as a matter of policy, despite the opinions of a half dozen lawyers that it legally could be made. The British wanted to know about government loans because the Johnson act forbids private American bankers lending to World war debt defaulters. At security for a loan of possibly $1,000,000,000, the British pro posed their holdings of Amer ican stocks and bonds. Since the war actually has occurred, the British have be gun selling their American se curities in small but steady amounts. Rumors have been heard of a plan to sell the near ly $1,000,000,000 of British owned securities to a Canadian corporation, but these hpve not been confirmed. Ecclei Plan Followed One of the plans for guarding American markets In case of war made at that time and car ried out this fall came from Marriner S. Eccles, chairman of the federal reserve board. Eccles and George L. Harri son, president of the New York federal reserve board, won se cret authority in April to buy $500,000,000 worth of govern ment bonds if war torpedoed the government bond market. The purpose was to prevent a rapid price change. In the first two months of war, Eccles' group purchased, for the 12 federal reserve banks, $405,000,000 of treasury bonds and $32,000,000 of treasury notes. In April, too, Ecclei devised the plan followed In September of giving banks not members of the federal reserve system the same par-loan privileges en joyed by members. This was intended to prevent small loans from making distress sales of government bonds.
