GIVE LOYALTY PLEDGE
Vancouver, B. C, June 11.
'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.

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. Subaltern Frank
lin L. Wilson of Camp McKinley
will be train commander. There
will be 251 enrollees in all from
Medford district camps.
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.
Officers Returning
All of the administrative train
personnel will return to the Med
ford district around July 1 with
CCC replacements for companies
of the Sth corps area.
Other casual trains will pro
ceed at intervals from this and
other 9th corps area CCC dis
tricts- until the quarterly trans
fer has been completed. The
