Unfortunately, the problem is not so easily solved.

Should Hitler gain and remain in control of Great Britain, the northern countries, the continent of Europe, Africa, and of the Middle East, we would become a second-rate power and be dependent upon or no invasion. Watch the Politicians As a guide to public opinion, the way our senators and representatives vote it worth considering. Senator La. Foliette is very close to the president, yet he strongly opposed him when the lease-lend bill came up. The senator knew that the majority of his constituents were not in favor of the passage of this legislation.

Not alone in Wisconsin, but. in Minnesota, Illinois, and Iowa, the people were generally opposed to this bill. This does not mean that the Middlewest is in love with Hitler's form of government. Rather, it is either concerned over We talk of our ideals and beliefs, yet shut our and plug up our ears to the real sights and sounds of the day. We seem mainly interested in acquiring and spending the new-found wealth that the defense program ia bringing.

As a nation we must wake up. Unfortunately, through lack of individual responsibility, we may be smashed economically if not physically. Our deficiency of. spirit may lead to our disintegration. We must all speak up for righteousness, heed the call to sacrifice, and toil- to the limits of our capacities whether we be a workman, banker, farmer, or housewife.

Yet, they are put into office to represent and interpret the wishes- of their electors. Hence, the position they take upon matters of national, policy constitutes a good barometer of sectional belief and public opinion. My advice to the members of congress however, is to get back home more often and personally tell the voters "what's what."

The army revealed its plans for maneuvers--the greatest in history--yesterday. They will begin on a small scale May 24 and last until late fall.

The 30th and 40th divisions of the National Guard will be used in First army exercises Oct. 6 to Nov. 1 in the Carolines if the men still are on active duty. The 45th division will be used in Louisiana Sept. 1-30 in the mimic warfare between the Second and Third armies.

Selectees also will participate in the maneuvers. War department spokesmen noted however, that no additional legislation, is required to extend their one year training period. They are held on reserve for ten years after thi period, and President Roosevel has authority to order them to active duty. 12 NAZI PUB WERE SHOT 1 Venezuela has increased its petroleum production until now exports more than 10,000 barrels a month.

A I I A (Continued from One) air ministry, engaged a German Junken-88 bomber, "chasing it moonlight 30 out to tea, firing intermittently all the way." The final burst of set the bomber afire and as it went down, the clouds glowed red," the air ministry said.

A squadron leader shot down his second Dornier-17 bomber in two nights. In another area, British squadron came upon two raiders and got them both, one crashing at sea, th- other on land. The principals in all these fights wheeled, banked and dived over a blackedrout countryside, their tracer bullets describing vivid patterns in the sky. The German losses now totaled 49 in 36 hours, including 14 yesterday and 24 the night before. For the first nine days of May the totals were 85 night raiders and 32 day raiders destroyed.

The night raiders are combers, carrying crews of four or five, and the day raiders are mostly single- seat Messerschmitts, carrying one man. If is thus estimated Germany has lost 400 airmen in nine days. Whether they are killed or descend safely by parachute, the crews of all destroyed planes are lost to the German air force except in the few cases where are shot down over German airports in northern France and make parachute landings.
