THI ONLY KIND of a peace making imperialism which is possible in the existing situation would be one conducted .jointly by Russia, Britain, the United States and China.

Indeed, such a pr% pos JI is impossible for other reasons.

That is the prime peace lesson of this war — constant alertness against any authority challenging our way of life. Complacency is the sin fcr which we are now .suffering. Our future army, navy and air force must not only be .superior to its problems, but kept politically alert to Its dangers. (Incidentally, the navy always wanted to go in and clean out Japan before we let her rise to a position of momentary superiority in the South Pacific; it could have been done easily some years ago.) ministration scored a decisive victory today when the senate appropriations committee voted to recommend about $3,000,000,000 to maintain the OPA. the OWI and other war agencies at substantial full strength next year. The action came as the senate struggled to complete work on over $76,000,-000,000 in appropriation bills before the end of the fiscal year at midnight The OPA was given its full budget request of $177,000,000 which is $4?,-000,000 over the house total and the OWI received about $33,000,000 including $3,501,000 to keep the domestic propaganda branch alive.

I think we should lay down the basis upon which we propose to live, and maintain peace of the future, and We will think we are secure again through this means alone, and discard our armament, and open the way for some stealthy aggressor, through secret treaties and secret armament, to challenge again our superiority in this world, because ^e will always have enemies as lcng as we are superior. and they will always be plotting to make- themselves superior, whether through domination of a world state, a League of Nations, or what- District courts in Iowa are getting ready to enforce new "rules of civil procedure" prescribed by the Iowa supreme court, which go into effect the first of July, and the new' rules, which are intended to soeed up action by the courts, will make considerable change in the manner in which legal matters are handled in the Henry county district court. One of the rules to which special attention is being given at this time is one that provides for "motion days” to, be held in advance of the regular terms of court, when motions in connection with cases will be presented and argued and ruled on by the court, so that when the case comes up for trial these preliminary matters will have been disposed of. The new court rules provide that after a case is filed the defendant and his attorneys will be given 20 days in which to make an appearance, either by filing an answer or a motion. If this is not done within the time specified, the defendant will bo in default and the action terminated. It is expected that these rules ana ethers provided by the supreme court will eliminate many of the delays that occur in the court room after a case is set for trial, w-hen the prospective jurors wait for the attorneys and the court to dispose of motions.

The game which will begin at 8:15 will be between D and E squadrons. The men have been practicing regularly and enjoy this phase of their physical conditioning program tremendously.

More than 30 submarines were destioyed in the month of May and June saw the Atlantic convoys proceeding almost unattacked. 2. Germany, Italy and Japan must surrender unconditionally ai.d throw themselves on the mercy of the democracies. 3. Every industrial target and military objective in Germany ult mately will be visited by an “adequate exter-. ruinating force." 4 "Very prcbable,” heavy fighting will rage in the Mediterranean “before the leaves of autumn fall.” Into Heart of Enemy-Held Area Washington. D C. (INC)—The navy announced today that United States forces launching a new offensive in the Pacific have landed on Rendcva island at the central Solcmons within five miles of the viral Japanese airfield at Munda. The thrust also brought the American fighting units into the heart of enemy dominated islands apparently with the hope of wresting the Munda base from the Japs to use as a spearhead for a strong offensive in tha outh Pacif c area. The action also moved the advance ane of the American forces in the uth Pacific 170 ni'.les fuither northwest of Guadalcanal in an apparent hcpe of flanking the enemy. Ever since American forces completed the conquest of Guadalcanal, United States airmen have been hammer-,ng Japanese airfields and installations at Villa and Munda as well as Rekata Bay in the central Solomons. Munda was bombed more than 150 times by American airmen since last fall and the fierce sky offensive has prevented the Japanese from using that base for cffensive purposes. Naval officers said they had no ’.n-formation on the possibility of Japanese resistance during the landing which presumably was made by army, navy and marine ampnibious forces. It was recalled that on March 27th, the navy announced that American planes bombed and strafed Japanese positions at Ugall on the northeast coast of Rendcva Island.
