The United SUtee ahortly may have on Hi hands two new dilemma (rowing out of the Euorpean war, and both Involv ing indirect but nevertheless powerful aid to the Berlin-Roma entente In its conflict with Britain. They are the question! of (1), dealing with the famine which already Is threatening Europe. and (2) what we are to do If and when Herr Hitler has crack' d the British blockade and de mands American food and war supplies on the cash and carry basis. That the Old World, and es pecially the many countries which have suffered Invasion, Is heading straight into a ter rible food shortage Is the con sensus of observers on both sides of the Atlantic. Indeed, hunger already has appeared in numerous localities, including Belgium. Hoover Bees Peril. Former President Hoover, speaking from the background of bis great experience In di recting European relief In the World war, said the other day that Europe is threatened with "the most disastrous famine in history." He added that if the war Is short there will be a "short famine," but It It runs for many months the problem of feeding Europe will be un paralleled in the history of hu man suffering. It was closely associated with Mr. Hoover's relief headquar ters in London in the past war, and know something of his vast experience in assaying situa tions such as are now being rapidly created. When he con curs with the view that Europe is approaching hunger, it is something to make us sit up and take notice. Mr. Hoover told newspaper men that he had communicated with Germany, Great Britain and the "refugee government" of Belgium, seeking consent for some "third party intervention" to feed the starving. About the last thing the aver age person would imagine, would be that such a Humani tarian proposal might run coun ter to anybody's Interests Wholesale relief, however, un doubtedly would give Britain something to ponder In fact, already has been taken note of. The point is, of course, that England's greatest hope of de feating Germany still lies in economic strangulation of the relch by blockade. Hard as It may sound, a food shortage in Germany Is all to the good for Britain, since it would tend to hasten the collapse of the enemy. Worry for London. But if Germany takes food from Invaded countries like Belgium or Holland, and that food Is replaced by American relief, it actually Is a mighty boon to the nazis and helps them evade the blockade. For this reason, any proposal for wholesale relief In Europe it likely to receive most careful scrutiny In London. The situation which this coun try will have to meet it Ger many should attempt to take advantage of the "cash and carry" privileges. Is summed up in tne following question which has been laid before ma in a letter: "With control of the French Atlantic ports, the axis powers will be able to trade directly with the United States, as well as Latin America. They will certainly be privileged to take advantage of the "cash and carry" provisions of the neu trality act just as well as have the Allies. "While It undoubtedly Is true that a vast preponderant senti ment of the people of the Unit ed States would be averse to dealing with Germany and Italy In any way to help them In waging war, what would this nation want to do in the matter of selling them raw materials, gas and oil, and even war sup plies they might want. If they should seek to run the British blockade?" IVAL FUNERAL IS TUESDAY Mathew Wilbur Austin. In fant son of Mr. and Mrs. Owen E. Austin, of Eagle Point, pass ea away at a local hospital June 30.

It's only natural, therefore, that reading the news paper should be as much a part of everyday life as eating and sleeping. Most people, as a matter of fact,' can't get along without it . . . and practically ever) body reads a news paper every day, not only for the news it brings, but for the interpre tation it presents, the pictures it prints, the entertainment it pro vides, the advice it offers. Small wonder that the newspaper should be the forceful, profitable advertising medium that it is. Small wonder, too, that today, when the news plays so important a part in people's lives, the newspaper is an even more vital and profitable ad vertising medium than ever before.
