'P "Unswerving loyalty" to Canada in the face of Italy's declaration o( war was pledged by more than 300 ItnloCana dians, representing a score of Vancouver and district Italian clubs, at a mass meeting last night. The Canndian Italian W a r Vigilance association grew out of the meeting, and Angelo Branca. Vancouver lawyer and member of the Italian colony, who presided, asked for con tributlons to open a fund for purchase of an ambulance to be given the Red Cross by the as Clowns t o tot loo Late to Claa ifj Ada la 140 p m. Br Dewitt MacKensle Someway I have feeling that Italy's entrance into the war isn't the straw that' going to break the camel's back. Please don't misunderstand I'm not underestimating the un doubted increase in the danger to the Anglo-French allies, whose peril already is great. Still it has yet to be demon strated that Mussolini can throw his weight to such advantage that It will crush the already overburdened French armies. Must Crush France That is Hitler's sole business in life at the moment to crush France. The success or failure of his plans for also overthrow ing the British Empire are prem lsed on the collapse of the French. Hitler's business must bo Mussolini's business from now on. Hence, Berlin's Jubilation ov er the Duce's action of rushing in for the kill at a moment when tie epic resistance of the Poilu Is causing the Germans a terrific loss of life and Irreplaceable supplies. We shouldn't forget that neither Germany nor Italy ran stand a long war because of lack of resources. That's their own great danger. We must wait to see what Mussolini's line of attack is be fore being able to estimate the damage. But to return to my opening figure of speech, we mustn't make the mistake of as suming in advance that the camel's back is necessarily going to be broken by this straw or any other. Air Force Main Peril It Is true that the Italo-Germ an hook-up may force the French to surrender. But it may not. I should say that the greatest Immediate danger to France is the powerful Italian air-force. The French could take a lot of knocking about In their African possessions or Corsica, for in stance, without being laid out In continental Franca. But if Mussolini should drive his bombers at the heart of France the position would be much more grave. So far as Invasion of Italian troops from the south la con cerned, Mother Nature has done mighty well for France in the chain of Alps which run be tween the two countries. On the coast of the foothills of these great mountains, the French have created artillery bases, tank pits and cement pill boxes for machine guns. Back in the range some, if not all, of the strategic peaks have been forti tied. These command the val leys. France's big worry of the mo ment, of course, if the holding of that terrific German drive on Paris. The big danger spot, to my mind. Is the French left wing which is being rolled back from the coast along the Seine. What if Paris Taken? And what if the German army captures the capital? Does this mean the end of French resis tance? Whether this would cause the capitulation of France would, in my mind, depend on whether the French army of the north was at the same time smashed and put out of commission. If Weygand can save his troops and equipment one would ex pect him to carry on in some other position. There are various lines of re sistance to which Weygand could withdraw south of Paris for a stand until Britain could organize resistance. There is for instance, the valley of the great Loire river which cuts well across France from the west coast. A stand might be made there. South of this line would be hoth agricultural and Industrial areas to support the effort. 1 don t know where Weygand would make a stand, but there are places available, and Pre mier Reynaud has declared that the French will fight to a fin ish. SPECIAL TRAIN TO TAKE CCC YOUTHS E Quarterly Movement Starts Tomorrow; Replacements Due Here About July 1 charged with operating "an In sanitary dairy" and telling milk without a license, is scheduled to appear In Justice court here Thursday and enter a plea.

CHERRY HARVEST IN FULL SWING; Y Harvesting of the Rogue river valley cherry crop is now un derway, both Bings and Royal Annes being picked for barrel ing. The barreling price Is re ported at five cents per pound. ' The barreled cherries will eventually become maraschinos. A few cherries are now ripe I enough for the commercial mar ket. Most of this type will be shipped to the San Francisco market on consignment. Assistant County Agent C. B. Cordy estimated the cherry pro duction of this section at 330 tons. I Ideal weather conditions pre vail for development of the cherries. The tomato crop, estimated at 2S0 to 300 acres, is progressing favorably also, and some of the 1 early market varieties have green tomatoes. I Haying is In full swing In many sections of the valley, and the warm sun is welcomed, for curing. Irrigation Is underway, with no water to waste, and some re strictions In use. The rains of a week ago left the Talent dis trict with some flood water. It was previously in slightly better shape than the Medford district, which remains unchanged. Quarterly movement of CCC enrol lees to the east and south for discharge or re-assignment will begin here tomorrow morn ing with the dispatch of a special casual train taking 92 men from Camp South Fork. South Fork is a Rogue River national forest camp which, among other things, provides man-power for forest fire sup pression. Until replacements come from the south, the camp will have only about 40 en- rollees left. Replacements are expected around July 1. Starts at Marshfield The casual train to leave here tomorrow morning was to depart today from Marshfield with en rollees from Camps Sitkum and McKlnley in the Medford dis trict and from a number of camps In the Vancouver Bar racks district.

Two baggage cars and a kitchen car will be added to the train here. The CCC cars will form part of the regular morn ing southbound S. P. train, but at Ashland they will be made up into a special train with Fort Knox, Ky., as Its destination. The train will also take enrollees from the Sacramento CCC dis trict.
