WIER Who was easily re-eIect«J in Tuesday’s primary over his opponent, Tom D. Abrams, by a majority of 2,140. The unofficial vote stood: Wier 5,819, Abrams 3,679. Sheriff Wier is a native of Jacks township and before his election four years ago was a member of the Clinton city police department. is prepvaring to go into plane pro duction. The Packard company is about ready to start on the produc tion of 3,000 British-type Rolls- Royce airplane ermines. Every other motor manufacturer in the country is in a similar state of readiness to go ahead once the bars are let down. Announcement Surprises The President’s announcement that he is in negotiation with Great Brit ain for the establishment of naval bases on British territory in the Western Hemisphere came as a sur prise. Nothi.,g has been disclosed as to how payment would be made for s'-;‘h sites in ibc Wc.st Indies or Canada. The proposal to deliver 50 of our antiquated destroyers to Britain still hangs fire. Either some such “swap” or the reduction or can cellation of Britain’s war debt to this country might be our payment for the right to establish naval bases on the islands of Barbados and Trinidad, and in Newfoundland and possibly Nova Scotia, as well as Bermuda. All such plans depend largely up on the final outcome of the German attack on the British Islands. There is a strong belief here among mili tary experts that Britain is certain to lose. That is offset by the remark able exhibition of courage and unity by the British people, and their ap parent success in their air raids on strategic German centers and in fighting off the Nazi air attacks. the probability of a famine tpreadn ing all over Europe before spring and millions of persons dying of starvation. As a result of Candidate Willkie’s declaratiorv that, if elected, he would start prosecution against every con tributor to. the Democratic campaign book of 1936, that party’s manager^ are figuring on how to give the money back. The attorney-general has declared their plan for a similar book of paid advertising this year is iUegal. And Mr. Willkie has caUed on the Republicans to refund the money they collected in ’36 for ad vertising in the convention program.

The expectation that Ambassador Cudahy, recalled from his Belgian post “for consultation” would either be reprimanded or fired or both be cause of what he was quoted- by 'London papers as saying about the 1 effect of the British blockade on starving Belgians, and particularly because, he was reported to have said that the German soldiers in THIS WEEK Belgium behaved “better than Amer- uation will figure largely in the i ican troops in the same -circumstan- election rc^uins ices,” did not come true.
