Between the Headlines By Fleetwood Lawton RUMANIA AND RUSSIA—The collapse of France was the signal for a rush to get on the apparently victorious Nazi-Fascist bandwagon by the small Balkan nations, and for this none can really blame them. Hungary had secured a seat even before final victory over the French was gained by Hitler. Rumania then began the process of going Nazi. King Carol himself hoped to be the "Fuhrer" of his nation, despite his previous campaign against the Rumanian Nazis. Also despite his previous sympathy, partly expressed and partly implied, toward the cause of the Allies. Hitler's blunt reply to Rumanian overtures was that that country would receive its instructions later. And the general opinion was that Rumania would be divided, part of it going to Hungary in reward for her early move, part to Bulgaria. Russia moved into position to seize her portion as soon as this disintegration began. Russia lost the province of Bessarabia at the end of the last war. It was the problems presented by this province of Bessarabia which prevented Rumania from seeking shelter like Turkey and Jugoslavia, in the shadow of the Russian bear. Stalin's determination to secure its return continued through the Alien Control of Fishing Industry Declared Menace Judge Benjamin Harrison of United State Court is Speaker Here Fishing boats operating off the Coast of southern California must be manned by American citizens as a protective measure to the cities along the coast, Benjamin Harrison, judge of the United States district court for the southern section of California, declared Tuesday noon while addressing members of the Anaheim Kiwanis club and their guests. The meeting was in the nature of a joint service club affair, with members of the Rotary and Lions clubs and other guests present. Judge Harrison, making his first public appearance since taking his oath of office Monday morning, outlined the efforts he had made while federal district attorney in stamping out alien control of the fishing boats, a situation, he pointed out, which was contrary to federal laws. He succeeded, he said, in bringing about a change in ownership of the boats from aliens to citizens, but his ultimate goal of having the ships manned by citizens has not yet been reached. Elementary For Next Year Reduction in the budget the election of a teacher to sing on the faculty staff were meeting of the eleventh Monday night. The budget for the course of $138,200, as compared with $142,21. It was pointed out is tentative in that it must intend of schools before. As the result of the reduction in the budget the school tax also will be reduced, Superintendent M. A. Gauer revealed. The tax rate will be approximately cents, the definite figure to be determined when assessed valuation are known. Last year the tax was 94.12 cents and in the previous year it was 99 cents, Gauer said. Vacancies in the teaching were caused by the resignation Ernest Stump, mathematics instructor, and Miss Barbara C. art teacher. Stump has access to a position in the schools of Wood, Calif., in the northern EVENING UNION TO OPEN AT Russia moved into position to seize her portion as soon as this disintegration began. Russia lost the province of Bessarabia at the end of the last war. It was the problems presented by this province of Bessarabia which prevented Rumania from seeking shelter like Turkey and Jugoslavia, in the shadow of the Russian bear. Stalin's determination to secure its return continued through the years. Now, Russia moved before Hitler or Mussolini were ready and seems to have secured the prize. Carol's long and intricate game of political juggling resulted in his country's being in an almost hopeless position, her relations with both Germany and the Soviet being delicate in the extreme. This is another example of suicidal policy of selfish nationalism. The Balkan nations, had they formed a single bloc with Turkey when that was offered to them, could possibly have wielded sufficient influence to keep Italy out of the war. They certainly could have hoped to defend themselves as one unit. Now, each separate Balkan nation can only seek to make what terms it can with its more powerful neighbors. In this area, where the interests of Russia run sharply across those of Italy, where Germany has long had ambitions of building her "road to the East," the small powers are likely to reap the whirlwind they have sowed. Acceptance of their unconditional surrenders is the best they can expect. Bitter fighting over their territories by Russian, by German, and by Italian troops is the worst and perhaps more likely fate awaiting them. INVITATION — Senator Key Pittman, chairman of the senate foreign relations committee, expressed the wish last week that the British government should move at once to Canada, with the British fleet, and continue the war from there. Pittman said that he considered the defense of England to be hopeless, and suggested that the British Isles should be abandoned to Hitler. Here is one answer to the need of the United States for a two-ocean navy at once—a need which has been heavily underlined by Japan's rapid strides toward Fascism and also toward the revival of the Rome-Berlin-Tokio axis. But how is this proposal likely to be re- Raps Committee The jurist was caustic in his criticism of the fish and game committee of the state assembly when he told of abortive efforts to have legislation passed which would require American citizens to operate the vessels. Control of the committee by the commercial fishing industry prohibited the bill from reaching the floor of the assembly, the speaker charged. In touching on the necessity for the law which he is advocating, Judge Harrison called attention to the fact that the port of San Pedro is surrounded by great oil tanks which supply ships in the harbor: Flooding of the harbor with a thick coat of oil would be a (Continued on page 2) Red Cross Plans Community Party Anaheim chapter of the Red Cross will present a community party in the open air theater of the Anaheim city park during the week of July 14, it was announced today. Definite date for the performance will be set later this week. Members of the executive board of the chapter asked and received the acceptance of the Anaheim Pageant association to stage the show, and the Rev. D. Howard Dow was immediately appointed general director. Purpose of the event is to help raise Anaheim's war relief quota of $2,000. Tentative plans for the program call for dancing, singing and short plays, the Rev. Dow said this morning. Marion Henry Home Burglarized Monday Burglary Monday night of the Marion Henry home at 126 South Walnut street was reported to Anaheim police Tuesday by Henry. Vacancies in the teaching were caused by the resignation Ernest Stump, mathematics instructor, and Miss Barbara Curtis teacher. Stump has accepted a position in the schools of Wood, Calif., in the northern EVENING UNION TO OPEN AT Sunday evening union cottage at the amphitheater at noon and including September 7 o'clock. Rev. Stanley Frederick Geiger pastor of the First Presbyterian church, will deliver the sermon the opening service next Sunday. His subject has not been announced. Music due to service will be provided by daily vacation church choirs, it was announced. Speaker on July 14 will be C. H. S. Hunziker, pastor of Grace Lutheran church. He will be followed on July 21 by U. S. Schauer, pastor of the Sacramento church. On July 28 Dr. Irvin Allen Engle, new president of the White Temple Metropolitan Church, will be the preacher. H. G. Dymmel, pastor of Bethel Baptist church, will do SUBVERSIVE ACCOUNT TO COUNTY'S Subversive activities and object of a talk given Monday and former subversive activist Torney Buron Fitts, at a meet-ups at the Elks club.

British fleet, and continue the war from there. Pittman said that he considered the defense of England to be hopeless, and suggested that the British Isles should be abandoned to Hitler. Here is one answer to the need of the United States for a two-ocean navy at once—a need which has been heavily underlined by Japan's rapid strides toward Fascism and also toward the revival of the Rome-Berlin-Tokio axis. But how is this proposal likely to be received in England? Whatever the fate which may be in store for the little islands, it seems definite that moving the government to the American continent will only be undertaken as a last resource. And moving the fleet would leave the islands defenseless. It cannot be imagined that there would be time, or ships, available to transfer even a reasonable portion of the population of the British Isles to the new world. The acceptance of Pittman's suggestion, then would mean the abandonment now of most of England's population, and of all her industrial resources to the tender mercies of Hitler. And what would the British receive in return? The king and his government, together with the small population of Canada would be safe from attack in Canada. A friendly British fleet based on Canada's Atlantic ports would enable the American fleet to remain in the Pacific, and would make this continent invulnerable. But it is to be doubted whether the enslaved people abandoned on the British Isles would regard this as sufficient justification for their being sacrificed. While an eventual British retreat to Canada is possible, it is still not in sight, Tentative plans for the program call for dancing, singing and short plays, the Rev. Dow said this morning. Marion Henry Home Burglarized Monday Burglary Monday night of the Marion Henry home at 126 South Walnut street was reported to Anaheim police Tuesday by Henry.

ANAHEIM GAZETE ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, JULY 3, 1940 Elementary School Budget For Next Year is Reduced Reduction in the budget for the coming school year and selection of a teacher to fill one of the two vacancies exist on the faculty staff were the highlights of the reorganization meeting of the elementary school board of trustees day night. The budget for the coming year calls for an expenditure of $38,200, as compared with the budget for the past year of $42,21.

Entertainment during ning was provided by lodge glee club and Walton in who offered a dance INDEPENDENCE DAY! Current events forcibly bring home to the people of America the priceless value of all that July 4 represents to them. For in the light of the world of today, man's independence—confined daily to a smaller part of the world's territory—and our national freedom are the greatest of those manifold blessings which come to all who live in this land and ours. Independence Day! What pride must have swelled the hearts of those God-fearing struggleers who determined, in 1776, that the people of this continent "are, and of a right ought to be, free and independent." Independence Day! What solemn resolve should mark the determination of every citizen of this country today, to preserve, protect, and defend this American system, born on the original 4th of July, and reared to its position of greatness in modern times. There, there is no iron heel of any dictator's might, to shape people's destiny to suit his whims. Here, rather, is freedom and independence—freedom to live, to worship, to speak and write and assemble together, to enjoy liberty, and to be independent. Whatever may be necessary for the preservation and the protection of these things, all patriotic Americans are ready and anxious to give. Independence Day, 1940, demonstrates bold relief the heritage of Independence Day, 164 years ago; it represents, too, the imperative necessity of remaining in guard, at all times, against those forces, both within and without the confines of our country, which would seek the destruction of American independence and of all which successive 4ths of July will mean to coming generations.
