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.

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!

!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
