VOTE FOR A BETTER AMERICA This newspaper feels that the people of America stand at the crossroads in next Tuesday's election. Either our government will be directed to the channels of freedom, as it was originally intended, or it will continue down the road to state socialism, where individual liberties are threatened and personal freedom curtailed. More and more we are being regulated in our lives and business under the New Deal theory of planned economy. This campaign is no traditional fight between the two major political parties as Wendell Willkie, head of the Republican ticket, was himself a member of another political party a few short years ago. Franklin Roosevelt represents a "New Deal Party" not founded upon the traditional tenets of the Democratic party. In the view of this newspaper Wendell Willkie must be elected President and also have a sympathetic congress. California must return its great progressive statesman, United States Senator Hiram W. Johnson by an overwhelming vote. From this district L. H. Loudon needs the support of all who feel the need for Mr. Willkie. For the welfare of California it has been demonstrated that Culbert Olson and those who see eye to eye with him do not represent the best interests of this State.

VOTE NO ON NUMBER 9 Proposition 9, on the November ballot, suggests a well-intentioned amendment to an existing law in the California State Constitution, but the ambiguity of the amendment defeats its own purpose, and should therefore be returned to the amendment's sponsors for redrafting. Voting "No" on Number 9 is the one way to accomplish this desired end. As the amendment stands, it would not only precipitate an endless amount of costly lawsuits, but would impose a definite injustice upon the owners of small fishing vessels. For instance, the amendment would exempt from taxation "all vessels EXCEPT YACHTS of more than fifty (50) tons". What does the phrase, "of more than fifty tons" apply to, to "yachts" or to "vessels"? Certainly, it is not in the public interest to exempt yachts of any size. On the other hand, to exempt "vessels of more than fifty tons" would leave the fisherman out on the limb. Just what does the amendment mean? Your guess is as good as ours. And this is but one of the ambiguities in the proposed amendment. Obviously, a piece of legislation, designed for the State Constitution, should not be composed of the machinery of a guessing game. It's too costly, and too dangerous. Certainly, this glaring ambiguity in the wording of Proposition 9 should make it unnecessary for any voter to guess which way to vote. It should be an unambiguous, unequivocal "No." AMERICAN YOUTHS ANSWER Beginning with the confusion in 1929 and continuing through the practically stabilized depression of the last ten years, the problem of America's youth—with its cynical repudiation of copybook-maxim rules of life, its distrust of elders who had made such a mess of their generation, its "So what?" attitude toward the outward trappings of idealism, patriotism and ethics — has worried pundits and moralists. School papers heralded graduation with the headline, "WPA HERE WE COME!" College students formed the Veterans of Future Wars and sardonically demanded a bonus ships of the royal navy, which been directed against some more important German French channel ports, is pervasive and often inspired by government, speaks of the ability of forestalling the Balkan drive by the imminent occupation of Greek naval islands of Corfu, from which attacks against Italy could stantly be launched, and which it might be possible to flank the entire axis drive to the Dardanelles. Rome dispaired with increasing frequency most the likelihood of a British adjournment against the Fascist position Africa, and states that vast forcements have already been patched from England to Europe forecasts to which consider color is lent by the presence in near east of the British secret for war, Anthony Eden. All these are scraps of evidence which point towards the influence of a widespread British tempt to wrest, in the near future the initiative from the axis. It could be achieved, then the course of the war might change, for with the military initiative there would change also the diplomatic advantage which the Nazis have made much effective use. Hitherto where has the axis been compulsively to admit a major dealthough, of course, such a deal has been the failure of Hitler bring about the speedy conquest England. TOKIO RECONSIDERS PACT—From ecstatic jubilation over the prospects that at moment an agreement might signed with the Dutch East India which would establish a vien Japanese monopoly over their roleum products of that territory, Tokio was, within space of 24 hours, plunged gloom by the casual announcement that all Batavia's supply high test gasoline had already been sold, for a long time to do to British interests. Since it is this very high-gasoline which Japan most urgily requires because the Ameri Beginning with the confusion in 1925 and continuing through the practically stabilized depression of the last ten years, the problem of America's youth—with its cynical repudiation of copybook-maxim rules of life, its distrust of elders who had made such a mess of their generation, its "So what?" attitude toward the outward trappings of idealism, patriotism and ethics — has worried pundits and moralists. School papers heralded graduation with the headline, "WPA HERE WE COME"! College students formed the Veterans of Future Wars and sardonically demanded a bonus in advance. Youth in large part appeared to have decided life is a farce, a trick, a false show—to have gone soft and defeatist, without will or purpose. Then America called on her youth to register for national defense, and there were whispers of dire misgivings—talk of possible anti-draft riots, of wholesale scandalous attempts to evade the law. And then came a paradox like a burst of light: a magnificent, unanimous response of 16,000,000 young men, marching as one—rich, and poor, white and brown and black—to answer the nation's call to duty. Youth's answer is of itself a telling indictment of a society that had forced the rebellious "so what?" attitude. Youth resented the depression its elders had somehow brought upon it—youth wanted work, not doles; wanted action and work and real responsibility. Handed a real and mighty and precious job, asked to accept solemn responsibility, to incur risks, to make sincere sacrifices for the defense that must make America secure from all enemies, American youth of today responded precisely as America youth responded in '76 and '61 and '17. To any who would threaten the United States and to all who had come to doubt the integrity of the youth of this land, the young men of America have given their splendid answer. CHICKENS STOLEN Theft of six Rhode Island hens and one rooster, valued at $10.50, from his home at 1005½ East Santa Ana street, was reported to Anaheim police Saturday morning by Carmen Aguilar. The theft occurred Friday night. Any Garment "It’s Needless to Pay More—Riskey to Pay Less." See Austin's American Cleaners ad—Class. "Cleaning, Pressing" Between the Headlines Fleetwood Lawton BRITAIN DISCARDS THE DE-INSIVE—It is now becoming increasingly obvious that, in the air, British are losing from the phase of the rule of Europe, wherein they urgently were abandoning them against odds and generally striving for no more in the staving off of apparent heat, to the second phase, as the members of the royal air force now ever-increasing fury begin to pay the war to the Reich. Probably it can safely be said that the British Isles have withdrawn the heaviest blows which could directly strike at them, that the prospects of a Nazi history by invasion are now negative, and that all signs point to serious and increasing British intensive action, and that not alone the air. The bombarding by ships of the royal navy, which has been directed against some of the most important German-held French channel ports, is perhaps symptomatic of the new offensive suit which is developing. "Theses" of London, always authoritative and often inspired by the government, speaks of the advisability of forestalling the Nazi invasion drive by the immediate expedition of Greek naval bases as the immensely important aid of Corfu, from which heavy LET HIM TAKE ITI NATIONAL DEFENSE PROGRAM Four From Anaheim on Graduation List Registrar Mabel G.

Immediately, the chief of the Japanese mission was recalled to Tokio for consultation. The more fiery sections of Japan's press began at once to speak of military measures against the recalcitrant Dutchmen, but the United States Asiatic fleet lay in Manila harbor, concentrated against a possible emergency. At Hawaii, the main body of the American navy was rapidly being brought up to full war strength and no longer could Tokio assume with easy assurance that an enemy bluff could again with impunity be called. For Japan, the outlook could not be described as bright. Military measures now offer no better than an even chance of anything other than calamitous disaster. This was the position into which Tokio had maneuvered itself, and, although bellicose threats were plentiful, and, for reasons of face, must be expected to continue, a new note began to creep into the statements of high Japanese officials. According to report, the British ambassador was quietly informed that the three-power treaty with Germany and Italy was designed to have no more than a propaganda value, that it contained secret escape clauses which Tokio might now be glad to invoke in exchange for some unspecified conciliatory gesture from Britain. But improbable is it that either Britain or the United States can now be coaxed into adopting once again an attitude which, only too well tested over a long period of time, produced far from satisfactory results.
