TIME FOR ACTION
The recent meeting in Oklahoma City of a
group of Highway YU enthusiasts was another
step in what so tar has been a futile attempt
to secure proper recognition for this impor-
tant road
In the past the highway commission has
used as an excuse for not building the road
the fact that construction of the)Red River
Dam made exact location of the road impos-
sible We all felt at that time that this excuse
was a poor one since any road completed
would have been worn out by traffic long be-
fore water impounded by the Red River Darn
could possibly have covered it
The Present highway commission has
shown no inclination to hide behind flimsy e--
cuses We hope now that some good has
been accomplished and that the actual con-
struction of the road will be started
There is no need for forcing tourists out
of the state to spend their money in Texas
when an inviting highway would make travel
through the southern section of the state more
desirable -
A good road is particularly desirable at
this time when traffic to the site of the Red
River Dam now under construction is con-
stantly growing
WE STICK OUT OUR CHEST
The Madill Record won third place in the
contest for special editions of weekly news-
papers at the Oklahoma State Fair which
closed last week
The edition we entered was the Farm
Edition published last April
It was the largest edition that the Record
ever printed containing local news and fea-
ture stories as well as many pictures concern-
ing local agriculture
Our pride in the edition at the time it was
printed has been increased considerably by
this award Competing as it did with special
editions of weekly newspapers in the largest
towns in the state we feel that the award is
indeed an honor
A!! the work on the edition was done by
the local staff of the Madill Record Of even

IVEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS BY JOSEPH W LaBINE
How to Pay for New Conflict
Is Europe's Biggest Problem
British Taxes Set New Record
(EDITOR'S NOTE—When opinions are express vil in these columns they

Released by Western Newspaper Union
THE WAR:
Finance
Great Britain entered the World
war in 1914 with a 643000000-pound
debt raised her tax rate to six shill-
ings In the pound (or 30 per cent)
and probably spent 11070000000
pounds (about $55000000000) to lick
the Kaiser In 1939 Britain's record
peacetime budget was 1322444000
pounds of which 380000000 pounds
was to be borrowed Most of this
was for defense but what bothered
Britishers most on September 1
when they declared war on Adolf
Hitler was their current public debt
of 8200000000 pounds 13 times
greater than 1914's
To Sir John Simon chancellor of
the exchequer fell the financing sob
Up to the house of commons Sir
John carried his first war budget
SIR JOHN AND BUDGET
U S taxpayers can be thanklul
neatly packaged in the ancient case
(see photo) which exchequers have
used for years Preliminarily com-
mons knew the war of 1939 would
cost more than the last conflict
would possibly last longer and
would positively bleed the British
taxpayer to death Sir John there-
fore surprised no one with his
budget:
To rexe 70000000 extra pounds
this year and 146000000 extra the
next fiscal year Sir John assessed
Incomes at set-en shillings in the
pound or 35 per cent until next
March 31 for the full 1940-41 fiscal
year the rate is seven shillings six-
pence or 37 per cent American
taxpayers should have enjoyed the
comparison:
Income of $2000 per year:
American British
Family with two children None $ 7008
Married couple no
children None 24826
Bachelor $ 40 35040
Income of $4000 a year:
Family with two children 28 72128
Couple no children 60 87126
Bachelor 120 97626
Income of $20000 a year:
Family with two children 1164 804726
Couple no children 1260 820206
Bachelor 1450 832626
Meanwhile fireside economists de-
bated how Adolf Hitler was faring in
wartime Disregarding his pre-war
debt and his funny financing it was
a good guess that even should these
obstacles be overcome the allies'
blockade would strangle him One-
fourth his 1938 imports of $2000
000000 would be cut off including
90 per cent of his high-test gasoline
67 per cent of his grain and all his
cotton rubber wool and tin Even
Russia's new friendship could not be
expected to offset this loss for the
press of war will keep Germau fac-
tories busy thus barring exchange
of manufactured items for Soviet
raw products And Josef Stalin is
not altruistic

BRITAIN'S SHIPPING LOSSES
Submnrines went down zoo
at first denied a battle then each
admitted it and claimed victory The
press could choose between the
Reich's report that one British air-
plane carrier had been destroyed
and a battleship badly damaged or
the report of London's first lord of
the admiralty Winston Churchill
that a German attack had been re-
pulsed with no losses
Day before popular Mr Church-
ill told the house of commons that
a third" of Germany's submarines
hal been destroyed and that ship-
ping losses were about a third what
THE MADILL (Okla) RECORD
they were in disastrous April 1917
Moreover losses were still going
down (see chart) What he did not
point out is that Britain has fewer
boats at sea now than on Septem-

Eastern Front
After a 20-day siege during which
It was 'bombed and burned into
an unspeakable inferno" during
which thousands of civilians died
from bombs bullets pestilence or
horsemeat diet Warsaw surren-
dered and the war in Poland was
over
Western Front
After a month of see-saw fighting
during which French-British troops
apparently had the upper hand
(thanks to Germany's pre-occupation
with Poland) the battle of Sieg-
fried vs Maginot apparently got un-
der way French pressure was
heaviest near Zweibruecken in the
Saar region and at least one report
said that heavy French cannonad-
ing smashed a hole in the main Sieg-
fried line between Merzig and Saar-
bruecken Certain it was that heavy
artillery assumed new importance
for the French war office admitted
enemy shells were falling in small
towns behind the Maginot line For
the moment Premier Edouard Da-
ladier could tell his council of min-
isters that the situation was "most
satisfactory"

Dramatic volumes might have
been written last month about how
Europe's war whipped the slow
stream of U S life into a raging
river filled with whirlpools quick-
sand beds and bottomless pits At
Los Angeles Mrs Josephine Mair
filed a notarized document forbid
ding her two sons from "participat-
ing in any activity called war" The
U S fleet began secret battle games
In the Pacific a vast naval training
program was planned at Hawaii's
Pearl harbor and President Roose-
velt urged a cessation of foreign
purchases of war materials that the
U S might create its own reserves
While Texas' Rep Martin Dies
waved the flag to forecast all Com-
munists and Fascists in government
jobs would soon be ousted while
the American Legion in convention
cut its foreign tie with the Federal
Interallies des Ancien Combattants
while two-thirds of the people (in a
Gallup poll) said they don't believe
German news reports congress
wrestled with neutrality and ap-

land's loot with Herr Hitler was

ropean power that must be watched
Great Britain and France were
confident that if left alone Russia
would give Germany more trouble
than co-operation despite their kiss
over Poland's prcstrate form First
there was talk in Moscow diplomatic
circles of a "sphere of influence"
division in which Russia would con-
trol the Baltic and Germany the
Balkans But later it looked like
Russia was taking everything:
Esthonia's nervous 'Foreign Min-
ister Karl Setter scurried to Mos-
cow with explanations of why an
interned Polish submarine had been
allowed to escape later sinking a
Russian freighter His explanation
was "unacceptable" and soon So-
viet troops warships and planes en-
circled Esthonia Under this pres-
sure and while Moscow radio at-
tacked the Esthonian government
the little nation soon found it wise
to sign a "mutual assistance" pact
which grants Russia the right to
maintain naval and military bases
on islands off the Esthonian west
coast Latvia and Lithuania her
neighbors wondered which would
be next
Turkey's Foreign Minister Sukru
Saracoglu was there too and soon
there were sr 1kd repotts of a RussRumanian-Bulgarian-Turkish
"Black
sea bloc" which would smash Adolf
Hitler's hope of Balkan expansion
Rumania between two fires was
leaning Moscow-wise and away from
Berlin Bulgaria's special envoy to
the Kremlin established a Moscow-
Sofia airline to be followed by a
trade pact Jugo-Slavia had a rep-
resentative there too on a secret
mission
The only fly in this ointment was
Herr von Ribbentrop and the 35 "ex-
perts" who came with him from
Berlin While Dictator Josef Stalin
stayed in the background like any
well-behaved master mind should
Premier Viacheslav M: Molotov
called the tune that made big Ger-
many dance as violently as the lit-
tle Balkan and Baltic states The
mere fact that Hitler's men had
gone to Moscow and not Stalin's
men to Berlin offered good evidence
that Russia has grown in one month
from a silent sulking and overgrown
boy into a dominant European figure
which der Fuehrer must fear
Only strengthening this suspicion
was the oMcial German news agen-
cy's report that Russia has agreed
to co-operate in an attempt to bring
peace between the Reich and the
allies Obviously Herr Hitler was
frantically sparing no effort to end
the war The previous weekend had
brought a peace feeler from Benito
Mussolini but the result had been
negative Therefore Germany had
coaxed and begged Russia into
the peace effort even though the
price for this co-operation was a loss
to German prestige !lt eastern
Europe International observers
guessing that Adolf Hitler had found
himself playing with fire decided
that Der Fuehrer may yet be con-
sumed by the fire of Josef Stalin's

ELECTRICITY
I your PENNY WORKEIL
Have you ever paused to weigh the full value of
your electric service to list the benefits 771 re-
ceive from it and its low cost?
Perhaps you haven't because your electric
service has been so constant and dependable that
you probably have' accepted it matter-of-fact
as the sun or the air
Then too trends of the past few years have
made it more difficult to place the real value on
low cost commodities and services The expencli-
tures of billions by government and the many
taxes levied to pay the bill have obscured the
true worth of penny purchases
That is why we believe it timely to suggest
that you place the true value on your electric
service because it is purchased with pennies
and not many pennies either because the cost
of electricity used in the average home served by
0 G & E is only TEN PENNIES PER DAY Not
much is it?
"Peony electric service has been accomp-
lished by voluntary rate reductions both in tinses
of prosperity and depression These reductions
were posible due to efaciency in operation cmd
your acceptance of the manifokl uses of electricity
Thus the coot 01 electric SWAM has consistently
woo down whoa cit costs of liwk211 bused damply
upward
