KUCHEL, Editors and Publishers Entered as second-class matter at the Post Office at Anaheim, California, under the Act of March 8, 1879. OUR DIVIDEND If we look back we will find that Winston Churchill said the following in 1937: "There is one way above all in which the United States can aid the European democracies. Let her regain and maintain her normal prosperity." In that year Britain was not begging us to send obsolete tanks, planes and destroyers to help save the democratic way of living. We then could help much better by helping ourselves. Our answer was turmoil. The supreme court packing fight tore the nation in two. Then class war was preached from the white house, subversive elements were coddled. Vitriolic abuse turned American against American, drove enterprise under cover, disrupting national sanity and balance. The tragic dividend is apparent now. America menaced from every quarter. Fifty over-age destroyers sent to Britain. War materials produced as fast as desperation can drive. Sixteen and a half millions registering next month for the draft. Billion poured out for defense. America does not want to send destroyers, planes, tanks. She does not want the draft. She does not want to spend the treasure. We are doing it, not because we want to, not because Britain asked us to, but because we have to. In 1937 we could help others by helping ourselves. In 1940 we must save others to save ourselves. Between the Headlines By Fleetwood Lawn STALIN MAKES HIS MOON Despite all the efforts of Berkansis is a direct conflict between Hitler and Stalin, in which Britain is not immediately involved. The dictated terms of the Vienna settlement by which Rumania was forced to cede a large portion of Bessarabia to Hungary was no victory over Britain, an axis spokesman said; it was her method of erecting a bar against further Soviet expansion in southwest Europe. Although the implications of this clearly understood in Modern there was no immediate reaction for the simple reason that only the immediate use of Red army could have offered sufficiently speedy counterattacks and that would almost inevitably have involved a head-on clash between Russia and Germany. War between these two nations now would be diametrically posed to the present policymaking more than the idea of being engaged in armed history. The tragic dividend is apparent now. America menaced from every quarter. Fifty over-age destroyers sent to Britain. War materials produced as fast as desperation can drive. Sixteen and a half millions registering next month for the draft. Billion poured out for defense. America does not want to send destroyers, planes, tanks. She does not want the draft. She does not want to spend the treasure. We are doing it, not because we want to, not because Britain asked us to, but because we have to. In 1937 we could help others by helping ourselves. In 1940 we must save others to save ourselves. Three years of turmoil. THE AIRPLANE COMES CLOSE TO ANAHEIM The westward trek of multi-million dollar orders for warships and aircraft are fast laying the foundation for a tremendous forward industrial surge. Within the past two weeks 250 million dollars worth of naval craft and last week's new award of 36 million dollars to our busy aircraft industry brings to 677 million dollars the amount of business on their books. The new airplane factory located almost in Anaheim's backyard presents a challenge to this community. Thousands of men will soon go to work there and the payrolls will run into tremendous sums. Every employee must have a home. Let us, here in this city, firmly resolve to let nothing stand in the way of getting some of these people to settle here. The Mother Colony offers advantages, in some ways not parallel in any nearby community, to the home seeker that cannot be overlooked. Our schools, our churches are unsurpassed and our city tax rate the lowest to be found. By spring it is estimated that at least 100,000 men will be employed in our southern California aircraft industry. The largest plant will be in close proximity of Anaheim. Let us sell Anaheim as a home to some of these people. Marine Captain Lauds Officials Park Superintendent Given Compliment in Letter to Mayor Pearson Public officials are not surprised to receive criticism occasionally, but when letters of commendation and appreciation are received, that is another matter, Mayor Charles A. Pearson received a letter falling in the second category last week, and passed it on to the newspapers so that the city officials involved could receive their just dues. The message came from Capt. R. E. Shell of the United States marine corps, and is quoted: "On Sept. 12, 1940, I had the pleasure of stopping over in your beautiful city for a few hours en route to Los Angeles. At that time I had my battery on a road" Paul R. Martens' Rites Conducted Paul R. Martens, 44, resident of Anaheim for 23 years before moving to Santa Maria about 10 years ago, died last Friday at the Sawtelle soldiers' home, and funeral services were conducted there Tuesday afternoon. Martens was a World War vetran and a member of the American Legion. He also held membership in the Masonic lodge of Anaheim, and the Woodmen of the World of Fullerton. Among the survivors are Martens' widow, Mrs. Della Martens; three children, Robert, Dorothy and Roy; his mother, Mrs. Anna Martens of Anaheim; two brothers, William of San Bernardino and John Martens of Anaheim; and four sisters, Mrs. Margaret Crosley of Los Angeles, Mrs. Ida Duncan of Anaheim, Mrs. Agnes Nordeman of San Diego and Mrs." War between these two nations would be diametrically posed to the present policy both, for Germany dislikes more than the idea of being engaged in armed history with the Soviet so long as Berlin remains a most active foe Stalin's eyes, war would most troublesome and inefficient manner of achieving his aim since he probably can obtain he desires through adroit and direct political scheming. armed forces of the Soviet, so as their effective power remitting something of a mystery, are no more value as a threat than would be if the full extent of its capabilities were revealed. was clearly shown by the coerverable lessening in Soviet prosecution which followed the camp against Finland.

Pearson received a letter falling in the second category last week, and passed it on to the newspapers so that the city officials involved could receive their just dues. The message came from Capt. R. E. Shell of the United States marine corps, and is quoted: "On Sept. 12, 1940, I had the pleasure of stopping over in your beautiful city for a few hours en route to Los Angeles. At that time I had my battery on a road march and we were looking for a place to have supper. Through my liaison officer, Lt. Nicolson, we made contact with your park commissioner, and through his personal efforts and hospitality we had a very enjoyable time in one of your fine parks. "It is my desire through this letter to express appreciation to you, your park commissioner, and to the people of your lovely city for a most enjoyable and hospitable visit. My officers and men join me in this expression." By park commissioner, Capt. Shell meant Rudolph Boysen, park superintendent, who assisted the marine corps officer in locating his group at the park. City Engineer E. P. Hapgood also played a part in the arrangements. Philatelic Society Meets in Anaheim Mrs. R. L. Martin was hostess to members of the Orange County Philatelic society last Thursday evening at her home on East Center street. The meeting was devoted to poster stamps and exhibits were shown by Earl Lee of Anaheim and Sherman Denny of Huntington Beach. R. L. Martin also showed notice pictures of recent trips he and his wife took to the Hawaiian Islands and to the Grand Canyon. At the close of the meeting a hamburger fry was held in the patio.

His ability to speak Spanish fluently aided the Anaheim osteopath in his long, first-hand study of the country and its peoples. Dr. Adams, who started life on an eventful day, the day that his native town, Allendale, Mo., mustered its little company into the Civil War, has led an eventful life ever since. His travels have not been confined to Mexico, but also include everything from Central America to Alaska. He stopped off long enough in Old Mexico City in 1889 to marry Maria Arias, and five years later decided to settled down in Anaheim, where he has since made his home. Dr. Adams received his training in osteopathy at the American School of Osteopathy, which is the oldest in the country. Despite the fact he is 70 years old, Dr. Adams still maintains his practice at his office in his home at 312 North Lemon street. Want Ads 25c, 3 lines, 1 time.

MICHI The Vehicle Code gives pedestrian the right of way records of the Department Motor Vehicles show the teries are filled with people insisted on taking it. But England was not cowed by threats, nor could Goering's air force secure the dissolution of her defensive power. The British blockade is tighter than ever and October is only a few days away. One radio commentator has repeatedly stated that Hitler had planned to solve the acute problem of these Latin American obligations by effecting the deliveries through the use of masses of giant transport planes based at Dakar, in French West Africa. Supposedly no fewer than two thousand of these planes were ready to start operating a cargo service across the South Atlantic and so break the strangling blockade. Of course the story, which the commentator presumably obtained from German sources, is absurd. There is no airport in the world capable of serving as a base of operation for two thousand planes large enough to carry important loads across the Atlantic ocean. The primitive flying field at Dakar could not house twenty such craft, much less service and maintain two thousand of them. The basis in fact of the fantastic "exclusive story" is the preparation which the Nazis have been making for the resumption of a South Atlantic air service on a modest scale, and chiefly for its propaganda value. Considerable improvements have been made to the Dakar air field, and the service was soon to be underway. But even these plans have been interrupted by uncertainty regarding the attitude of the surrounding French colonies which may at any moment join de Gaulle. To offset this possibility three French cruisers, escorted by a similar number of destroyers, recently were sent to Dakar by the Vichy government. That the British allowed these vessels to pass unmolested beneath the shadow of Gibraltar seems to prove London's confidence that these units, far from suppressing any pro-de Gaulle sentiment, are more likely to join these Frenchmen who fully realize that France can hope for nothing but the most abject subjection should Hitler secure final victory. And this would put an abrupt and final halt to any and all Nazis plans for a South Atlantic invasion for the simple reason only the immediate use of the army could have offered a sufficiently speedy countermove that would almost inevitably involve a head-on clash between Russia and Germany. War between these two nations would be diametrically opposed to the present policies of Germany, for Germany dislikes not more than the idea of becoming engaged in armed histories in the Soviet so long as Britain maintains a most active foe. In Stein's eyes, war would be a test troublesome and inefficient manner of achieving his aims, since he probably can obtain all desires through adroit and indirect political scheming. The need forces of the Soviet, so long their effective power remains something of a mystery, are of far greater value as a threat than they would be if the full extent of their abilities were revealed. This clearly shown by the considerable lessening in Soviet prestige which followed the campaign against Finland. Therefore Moss goes to considerable pains to explain that the calling up of any reserves is a move directed against capitalistic encirclement, and Nazi propagandists enthusiastically affirm that relations between Germany and Russia were far more cordial. The steadily increasing pressure with Russia is directing againstmania nevertheless shows belated any doubt the true state of affairs. The preparations have all been made. Russian troop concentrations on the Rumanian frontier complete, formal protests continuing alleged border incidents have been sent by Moscow to the Romanian government. Only one officer is lacking from the familiar term of aggression, and that is arrival of the psychological agent. So experienced a master commander as Stalin certainly will move until that moment is ended, but the indications are it is now close at hand for, as the Germans exult that Balkan problem has been solved. The Soviet press darkly hints at a satisfactory settlement of Rumanian question is still to achieve and trouble must be detected. The danger of a disastrous defeat for the axis in south-Europe was never more imminent.
