Beneath the Stars and Stripes unfurled

America stands to guard the world

From missiles and invading hordes

Which threaten men with unsheathed swords.

Through every man, each volunteer

Well rid the earth of death and fear

By showing enemies our might

Of free men armed to win the ftght.

Placing "principle" before profit, two Seattle woodworking machinery manufacturers have refused an opportunity to provide Russia with automatic lumber-sorting equipment despite U.S. State Department approval of tne aeit which would help Russia build "the largest and most highly automated sawmill in the world."

M. E. Hillman, head of Republic Electric & Development Company, and Gordon B. Anderson, president of Puget Sound Fabricators, Inc., both of Seattle, declined the subcontract opportunity from Yarrows, Ltd., of Victoria, B.C., despite the size of the estimated $150,000 order and a $40,000 profit.

Mr. Hillman has been quoted as saying that Republic Electric would "have no part in handing the advantage" to the Russians "to close the gap in the superiority of North American technical know-how f.rom 20 years to two years." Anderson, whose firm was to supply fabricated portions of the six REDCO patented memory-control systems, stated his company will have nothing to do with "giving aid and comfort to an enemy."
