Germany, under Hitler, drunk
with victory, srorm talk of
peace, declaring "the drive to
crush the military power of 1U
opponent would go on with no
relenting." They want annihila
tion of the French armies. It
la the same German with new
leaders, that in November, 1918,
was not so intolerant of peace.
Then their relentlessness was
wrapped In the cry "Kamerad."
They whined for peace, and,
sad to tell, they got it, with
allied arms within their own
borders, and facing the devas
tation they had wreaked upon
other lands. Come peace again,
it is best, the statesmen of the
victors, leave their Ideals at

e Your Daughters Participate
PARENTS of girls between the ages of 10 and 18
years should by all means Interest themselves In
the Girls' Day Camp, which opens here Wednesday
under the sponsorship of the Girl Scouts.
As usual, this year's Day Camp will be held at the
recently created municipal park on Bear Creek, south
of Medford.
From the very start, this nation-wide Day Camp
movement for girls has appealed to us
Because it is open to ALL girls who meet simple,
sensible physical requirements;
Because it opens new avenues for wholesome com
panionship with other girls;
Because knowledge of useful arts and crafts is im
parted by competent instructors;
Because CHARACTER as well as physical de
velopment will be stressed.
THERE has been a decided lack of similar group
activities in which ALL girls may take part. Thus,
the fact that membership in the Girl Scouts or in any
other organization is NOT necessary for participa
tion makes this movement all the more valuable and
worthy of this community's support. The type of com
panionship such a camp will afford is necessary for
youngsters of this age makes them better fitted to
fill their place in a society where good neighborli
ness is a nece&sary requisite of good citizenship. Cer
tainly, from observation of previous camps, this an
nual gathering of girls does much to instil the right
MENTAL ATTITUDE in young minds at their most
formative stage.
'THERE is no denying this fact. Group activity of
this nature or any other type CANNOT, even for a
brief time, take the place of firm, kindly, sympathetic
HOME GUIDANCE. Character, with proper moral
and social balance MUST be gained first in the
HOME. Such movements as this Girls' Day Camp,
however, are highly valuable in SUPPLEMENTING
this essential home training.
The public spirited Medford women who have
generously assumed the task of conducting this year's
camp well recognize this fact
e
THERE will be an "open house" session for parents
this year, just as there was last year, and fathers
and mothers should certainly avail themselves of this
chance to see how worth while the Day Camp idea
really is.
So to these parents we say let YOUR girl take
i part in the 1940 Day Camp
The benefits from wholesome companionship with
other girls and the instruction she will receive from
capable carefully planned instruction will be many
and lasting. H. G.
Fate of French Fleet May
Decide Future of England
By Oewlit MacKenale
. With France compelled to
give way to the Teutonic ava
lanche which Is grinding down
the country, what next?
England has sworn to battle
to the end. The measure of Brit
ish difficulty In performing this
great task will, to my mind, de
pend In considerable degree on
the peace terms Imposed on
f ranee.
In carrying on the fight
against the most powerful war
machine ever known, England
will depend as heretofore on the
ast superiority of her resources
and on her tremendous navy to
win through. But If she should
lose the aid of the French navy
o Germany, she would be con
fronted with a grave situation.
Control of Sea Periled
The British navy something
more than 2.000.000 tonnage
is the biggest thing afloat. The
French fleet totals about 81U. i
000 tons and the Italian 718 000
Germany did have some S79.000
tons at the outbreak of the war,
but much of that has been des
troyed.
Now if you will do a bit of
simple arithmetic you will see
that the addition of the Krench
licet to that of Italy, and what
is left of the German navy
would bring the German-Italian
strength perilously close to that
it-i..- v.n l.t

however, that Hitler threatens
the French with terrible penal
lies if this Is done. That certain
1 , , , , . ,
; ly would raise a dire problem
' ' .... r . . ..
The same might be said of the
Krench air-force. Theoretically
t would be f-asible for the !
i'rench to send their planes
winging across the channel to
their ally. Practically, such an
operation might result In fierce
Gennsn sanctions.
We shall haw to wait and see
what the fntcs produce.
Rushing Tactics Win

was possessed.
On May 22 French Premier
Reynaud declared If the allies
could hold the German rush Just
a month they would be three
quarters way to victory. But
they weren't able to hold the
rush.
Britain's problem, as was that
of France, will be to avoid be
ing smashed before it can get
its resources into action. The
latest word from London is that
the government no longer will
depend on economic exhaustion
of the enemy but will go all out
in getting equipped as fast as
possible to meet the blitzkrieg
blow for blow. Much of that
equipment, of course, is expect
ed from American factories.
Most observers still hold to
the theory that if Hitler doesn't
win his blitzkrieg in the near
future, his lack of resources will
preclude victory. Italy brings to
the partnership little in the way
of resources excepting more mil-
Itory equipment.
Britain will try to meet Ger
many not only in battle but to
maintain that great naval block
a1e which has cut the reich off
from virtually all sea borne sup
plies. Whether Britain will be
able to keep up the blockade
may depend on the disposition
of that vital French fleet.

Also believe it or not I have
a fairly good conscience. True,
some of my sins haunt me of a

One of the Troubles I can't

tell you about it, I promise, as

or the other. This Trouble was
presented gratuitously by a
medical colleague, who had only
the kindest intention.
The other Trouble that bur
dened my conscience and spoiled
my sleep was a doubt whether I
had dwelt cogently enough upon
the value and importance of par

K IS THE WORST
I
If it Is hard for some young
persons to keep a pledge or to
decline alcoholic Indulgence
when "everybody" in the com
pany is drinking or when some
thing Is being celebrated, the
reason why it is difficult is be
cause the young person's health
has been neglected, and is there
fore not so good as It should be.
It is as easy for a healthy young
person to keep a pledge in such
circumstances or to drink a toast
in non-alcoholic beverage or to
adhere firmly to his or her own
Intention to remain a teetotal
abstainer as It Is for a cham
pion athlete in training or; say,
a young person whose religion
prohibits indulgence in alcohol.
In an earlier talk I set forth the
fundamental reason why a
drinker drinks, namely, con
sciousness of his or her health
inferiority and the desire to for
get it for a brief spell and feel
as healthy, smart, strong and
capable as any one else. The
same psychology applies, I be
lieve, to the conditions involved
in taking the first drink. To me
It seems perfectly obvious that
if the young person enjoyed per
fect health the amnesia, mo
mentary forgetfulness of reality
spurious delight or Joy to be ex
perienced under the influence of
alcohol would have no entice
ment. The young person who en
joys perfect health finds being
alive thrilling enough.

Communications
We WILL right !
To the Editor:
Just been reading your edi
torials concerning war and
peace. I don't think we Ameri
cans are advertising ourselves
as we should. Europe has got
the Idea we won't fight. Italy
got that idea and now see the
results. Germany thinks that
before we could get ready it
will all be over.
Truth is truth, why not come
out in plain words and tell
those dictators we will fight
when they go too far and let
them guess how far that may
be?
Cod hates a coward. Just
think of a man afraid to do
right. He that knoweth to do
good and does it not. Our
country is in good position to
make a good bluff. Why ad
vertise ourselves that we won't
fight? I don't believe such doc
trine is true Americanism. I
can't help but challenge any
man's Americanism who says
he won't fight. With Individ
uals, so with nations.
If we won't fight why all
this preparedness fuss? Are
we trying to deceive someone?
I honestly believe no-fight ad
vocates should be investigated.
They are helping the enemy of
our America. Europe wants
us to get Into internal strife for
they know that will weaken
us. If we stay united they can't
overrun us.
