TAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1941. U. S. Expedition to Guiana Cause of Angry Outburst In German, Italian Press By DeWltt MacKensle (Associated Press Analyst) Herr Hitler's camp would ap pear from nazl and fascist news paper comment to be as much exercised over the American occupat'on of Dutch Guiana as any other recent development and taking the long view of the war situation perhaps the wise men of the axis are right No clearer indication of the powerful moral effect of this move could be had than has been evidenced in the angry outburst of the German and Italian press. That moral effect, which reaches round the world and touches not only the axis and Its supporters but their enemies, would seem to be more important at this Juncture than the military consideration. We have a striking demon stration of the determination of the United States to protect not only Its own Interests but those of other nations in this heml phere. We also have , a display of Pan-American cooperation in Brazil's quick approval, and that's of vast importance to the outcome of the war. The general effect must be to impress all nations with th'j idea that Uncle Sam means business. One would expect it to encourage Pan-American sol idarity, to raise the morale of the allies and their friends, and to provide food for reflection among those nations like Tur key which are trying to tread straight path of neutrality. This sending of Yankee troops into Surinam might even have a salutary effect on the American-Japanese crisis. By an as sociation of ideas Tokyo will be unable to escape the thought that Dutch Guiana Is a sister mlnnv nf thm Dntrh Fast InHif4. which figure so prominently in .the far eastern Imbroglio, Last but far from least and this likely Is what worries Hit ler most the American move Is calculated to have a restraining influence on the Vichy govern ment which Just now la under heavy pressure to make mere 'Toncessions to Germany. Among the things which the fuehrer desires most is use of French colonies for military and sub marine bases, and the occupa tion of Dutch Guiana next door to French Guiana is bound to make the French government pause for consideration. One purpose of sending our troops to Guiana presumably is to be in position to keep the Germans out of the French col ony. That might provide the nazis with a useful submarine base, especially if the nazis should force Vichy to give them Dakar, across the way on the western hump of Africa. It Is to be hoped, however, mai u won i De necessary lor any of our boys to be sent Into French Guiana. It Is filthy, stinking spot which festers with disease under the killing equa torial sun. I've seen lot of hell-holes In various parts of the world, but French Guiana heads the list. The notorious Devil's Island, which Is part ot this colony. Is a paradise com pared with the mainland.

IAS Wrap Securely, Address Fully, Mail Early, Again Besought by F. DeSouza. Wrap securely, address fully, mail early. Yes, Christmas Is getting near. Postmaster Frank DeSouza to day issued his annual appeal for public cooperation so that :he postofilce department! might be of greater service to its patrons in delivering Yule packages promptly and in good condition. Here are some of the postofflce department's recommendations: Addresses should be typewrit ten or written by hand plainly in ink. Complete addresses should be given, including street and number or rural route and box number. Return address should be placed in the upper left hand corner of the addresr side. Tags should not be used. Parcels containing perishable matter should be so marked. To encourage early mailing the postofflce department permits use of the admonition "Do Not Open Until Christmas" on the outside of the parcel. Christmas seils or stickers should not be placed on the address side- By paying an additional charge, pa trons may obtain "special hand ling" to expedite transportation of packages. Special delivery may be used to speed uelivery at point of destination. Valuable parcels should be insured. If packages are intended for delivery In foreign countries, in quiry at the postoffice should be made first to determine whether or not mail to the particular foreign nation la being handled. Patrons should also ask about quarantine regulations of states if plants or ahrubs are to be mailed. I The main thing, however. Is to wrap securely, address plain ly and fully and mail early!

SITES WORLD IE !N ROTARY TALK A thought-provoking thanks giving season address was de Uvered before the Medford Ro tary club at the Hotel Medford Tuesday noon by Father Herald Gardner, rector ot St. Mark's Episcopal church here. "We are passing on to our children and grandchildren a world in debt, bristling with military armament, filled with racial prejudices and natfonal Jealousies and suspicions. We are being more and more regi mented," Father Gardner re minded, "our thoughts and ac tions follow a set pattern. There seems little left of individual responsibility. The church re mains the only Institution of in dividual thought and for this we may be thankful," he said. . We may also be thankful for America, the bulwark of democ racy, for our schools and other typically American Institutions and freedoms, the speaker told his Rotary audience. "There Is a tendency to ob serve a planned period of thank fulness but Thanksgiving should be observed throughout the year it should be spontaneous and spring from the heart." This Is an unhappy generation, the speaker continued. We have designed engines of destruction and have placed them in the hands of those who have little reverence of human life. There is also a obvious lack ot spirit ual reserve. "If you love freedom, support your church" was Rev. Gard ner's final admonition. Frank J.. Newman was pro gram chairman tor the Tuesday meeting.
