BULOVA Pilot Tears U. S.-Built Ship. Away From 6000-Foot Waterspout.

By GEORGE WELLER Copyright, 1941, by The Indianapolis Times | and The Chicago Daily News, Inc. { BRAZZAVILLE, French Equa-| {torial Africa. Aug. 26.—A giant waterspout rearing itself not at sea! but in the heart of the Africa jungle! | threatened the life of Free French| | Leader Gen. Charles de Gauile on | his recent trip from Cairo. { He flew here~for the celebration today. tomorrow and Thursday of the first anniversary of Free France. | Brazzaville is the Free French cap-| ital, the only seat of a government-! in-exile on its own soil. | The American-built transport plane carrying the Free French| leader was crossing the Equatorial] forest in Uganda at 5000 feet when] it became entrapped in a terrific, tornado. a common phenomenon: in Central Africa. { The British pilot tried to avoid] the storm but the plane was] snatched toward the center of the] tornado, where a whirling water] column of terrifying dimensions was clearly visible. The plane passengers estimated that the column towered at least] 1000 feet above the plane. After] a severe shaking, the pilot man-| aged to tear the plane from the] storm’s vortex. | Upon landing Gen. de Gaulle led! the passengers in a tribute to the| pilot's skill.

“Under these circumstances, al-

be done. “It does not seem possible to avoid inflation completely unless we really come tc a ‘new era’ in the history of money, prices, inflation, and government management.” He said that it hae been his experience in 50 years of public life that “new eras turn out to be old mistakes.” “I do not believe the present situation will prove to be an exception,” he said. Meanwhile, the rank and file of the convention, continued to make themselves surprisingly inconspicuous for men and women on a holiday in a strange city.

But Senator Davis told delegates and other members in an open ses-

Senator Davis today will advocate the expenditure of $50,000 of lodge funds to expand the lodge hospital, Mooschaven, at Orange Park, Fla. Now a home for aged members of the lodge, Moosehaven would, after the enlargement, be available to all members, at minimum rates, who were sick and needed extended hospitalization. Moreover, a resolution will be introduced, and prebably passed, to raise a huge fund to bs spent on lodge members now in the armed forces of this country and Canada. The money would be a levy of $1 on members, and would be administered by a »oard to be named later.

even more directly than American interests, in the Far East. Japan is a more immediate threat to British interests than Hitler is to American interests.

The British are acting with realistic caution toward Japanese aggression, in the same way that the United States is acting with realistic caution toward Hitler's aggression. The Japanese may go on to a point where they bring down the house upon their own heads, and Hitler may go on to a point where he brings the United States fully into the war. But I think it is more clearly recognized here now than ever before that America’s course will depend upon future events, and that it is wishful thinking to expect active American belligerency on the basis of the present situation. 2 = 2

What Britain Expects

WHAT IS WISHED for by Britons who fully understand the

to be necessary for the protection of American interests, is that the United States throw everything it has into production of armaments, with two purposes in mind: 1. To give the maximum amount of equipment to Britain and Russia. 2. To be preparing ourselves so | that, if events force us to act, we shall be ready to act with effective force. I think well-informed people here now expect no more than that, unless and until there is some fundamental change in the situation. But they have a right to expect that we, in our own selfdefense, shall do no less.

Must Realize Peril

AS CHURCHILL SAID, there is a difference in degree as to the menace. But it is not a difference in kind. It would be a fatal miscalculation for American people to assume that because the menace is one degree removed, it does not exist. This war is being waged on an enormous front. Now Iran has been added to that long front. Incredible amounts of materials are being used up in the fighting. This consumption expands directly the load on American munitions’ production. The British and Russians will have to lean heavily upon American production if they are continue their campaign through the next year or two of war that will be necessary. Unfortunately one must write in generalities. American officials have been given the specific figures. Those figures will put American industry to test. American production alone will not win the war, but certainly without American production the will-to-win that exists over here cannot be fully effective. = = =
