Iceland May
Get 80,000
U. S. Soldiers
WASHINGTON, July — Ice
land, the nation’s newest defense
outpost, appeared likely to claim
one of the largest U. S. garrisons
overseas, if not the largest. Lat
est Army figures fix the total of
present overseas garrisons at
118,000.
The disposition of these forces
was not revealed, but Hawaii is
presumably one of the most
strongly manned posts with 40,
©00 soldiers in the May maneu
vers.
Official information of the size
of the British force now occupy
ing Iceland is a military secret,
but seamen who recently touched
at the island estimated the force
at about 80,000 men or approxi
mately six divisions. Informed
opinions of the American garri
son on the barren island indicat
ed that the U. S. force there will
be at least of equal strength as
the British force. , . . I

Nazi Held Ameri
cans Are Released
WASHINGTON, July — Under
| Secretary of State Sumner Well
es announced that the release by
the German authorities of 21 Am
eriean ambulance drivers who
survived the torpedoing and sink
ing of the steamer ZamZam on
April 17 has been arranged.
The repatriation of the ambu
lance drivers was made after ex
tended negotiations with the Ger
man Government and culminated
quickly when a very curt note
was sent to the Axis Nations
stating Americans held as hostag
es must be freed immediately or
nationals of Italy and Germany
will be held in the United States.
The ZamZam was sunk by a
Nazi surface raider.
Welles said he understands the
ambulance drivers are now en
route to Lisbon from some
French port where they have
been held since they landed fol
lowing their rescue.

A Welder’s strike would badly
disrupt plane production.

DEFENSE aitt7
BOND V ^ ^
Q. What is a U. S. Defense Savings Bond?
A. This Bond is proof that you have loaned
money to the United States Government for
national defense. Your Bond bears interest
at the rate of 2.9 percent a year, if held to ma
turity (ten years).
Q. Why should I buy Defense Bonds?
A. Because money talks. To dictators it speaks
defiance. To friends of freedom, it says,
“Here’s my hand!”
Note.—To purchase Defense Bonds and Stamps,
go to the nearest post office or bank, or write
for information to the Treasurer of the United
States, Washington, D. C.

Consuls On Ship
Coin" To Lisbon
i r’
WASHINGTON, July — Act
ing Secretary of State Sumner
Welles disclosed that the United
States had ignored a formal Ger
| man protest on barring of a
‘ group of German consuls aboard
: the naval transport West Point,
1 which sailed recently from New
: York.
! The transport sailed for Lis
bon, Portugal, almost 20 hours
late with approximately 450 Ger;
man and Italian consular officials!
and their families.
German Protest Ignored
It was disclosed earlier that
the German government had pro!
tested because for former consul;
generals at New York and San
Francisco, Dr. Hans Borschers
and Captain Fritz Weidemann,
had been refused permission to
remain in the United States un
til July 31, a fortnight beyond
the deadline set for removal of
all German and Italian consul
ar officials. The two consular of
ficials wanted to go to Japan.
Welles denied by implication;
that the United States had sys
tematically delayed the depart-1
ure of Japanese ships from Unit
ed States ports lately.
Inquiry from Japan
The Japanese, rapidly with
drawing their merchant marine I
from American waters since the
outbreak of the Russo-Gewnan
war, made inquiry concerning
the delay of three departing
ships at Boston, Baltimore, and
the Panama Canal.
Welles said the State Depart
ment informed the Japanese that
such purely incidental matters as;
repairs and local circumstances;
had caused the delays.
When the transport West Point;
sailed for sea, her dock bristled’
with mahine guns and anti-air-i
craft guns.
ITALY DELAYS AMERICANS
ROME, July — Italy moved to
hold American consular officials
on Italian soil for a few days and
halted the train .carrying the con
sular group. The train was stop
ped at San Ramano while en
route to Lisbon in neutral Porfu
There was no exlanation for
the delay except that the officials
were to be held pending the sail
ing from the United States of
West Point.
In the meantime the West
Point, carrying some 500 Italians
and German co nsular officials,
their families and others, were re
ported over 100 miles at sea.

China Wants Pact
1
Mutual
Assistance
■CHUNGKING, July — The in
fluential newspaper. Takung Pao
urged the Chungking govern
ment to enter negotiations with
the U. S.. Britain and Russia for
a mutual assistance treaty.
The paper, presumably with
government consent proposed a
treaty bo drafted for mutual aid
against ths Axis in ths presenl
war, and for reconstruction of
the world after peace is achiev
ed. It was suggested that Foreign
Minister Quo Taichi, the former
Chinese ambassador to London,
take the lead in the negotiations.
Quo conferred with various high
officials in Washington when he
passed through the United States
recently, enroute home from
London.
Japanese sources have charged
repeatedly that a similar mutual
tu-aty already exists.
