PAGE 8TX TWO NEEDS DF BRITAIN SEEN EASED BY F. R. Br DWTTT MacKENZIE Special News Service Writer President Roosevelt has taken seven league stride toward solving the two most urgent needs and they are dangerous ly pressing needs of Britain and her allies in their present critical position production and transportation of sinews of war. This move has come without a moment to spare if the allies are to be sustained. The European conflict has reached a crisis where the outcome is as finely balanced as an egg on the edge of a knife. A major defeat on either side might start a debacle. We may say that the vital question of transportation of es sential supplies is fairly well solved, for in the face of repeat ed axis threats the president says that "all additional mea sures necessary to deliver the goods will be taken." It must be assumed that it is within the power of the United States to ensure delivery of the goods. There was finality in Mr. Roosevelt's "it will be done." That means business. If the axis attempts to carry out its declar ation to drive our aid from the seas, it also may mean war. We should have our heads buried in the sand if we didn't recognize that possibility. The outcome of the war, as the president indicated, is pivot ing on domination of the oceans. He pinned the point down with this: "If the axis powers fail to gain control of the seas, they are certainly defeated." So much for the question of transportation, without which all our efforts at production would avail nothing in the way of aid for the allies there still remains the matter of produc tion which the chief executive also has taken In hand. From the standpoint of the al lies, quickening of speed in our manufacture is of the utmost im portance. Britain is not getting what she needs to meet the as sault of the most powerful war machine the world has known. Two requirements which are a matter of life or death to her are warplanes and mechanical equipment, such as tanks. Lack of those two arms has defeated her on land, and daily the evi. dence increases that the nazi air fleet Is a grave challenge to the British navy, which thus far has retained domination of the sea, apart from the submarine cam paign along the Atlantic lanes. If the British lose the battle of Crete and their position today is reported as serious it will be due to their lack of air power, upon which the nazis have de pended almost exclusively. Two British cruisers and four destroy ers have been sunk in this con flict by warplanes. The fate of Crete won't decide the battle of the Mediterranean, upon which so much depends, but it will have a telling effect on the outcome. Britain can't afford to lose the great conflict for control of the Mediterranean. She may lose it if she doesn't get fresh equipment, and get it fast. She must have long-distance bombers, and long-distance fight ing planes if she is to check the German drive into the near east and against Egypt and the Suez canal. She Is looking to Ameri can production for these, and every day of delay in turning them out adds to her very def inite danger. Memorial Service Silver Lake Event SILVER LAKE Memorial services conducted in the Baptist church Sunday morning by Rev. C A. Waterhouse were well at tended by local people and a lumber from Ft. Rock and Sum mer Lake also. Following the program a bountiful basket din ner was served. Rev.
