Sinkings Must
Be Stopped
SHANGHAI. China, May—Rear
Admiral Classford, commander or
the United States Yangtzi River
patrol, declared today that the
“Battle of the Atlantic” at “this
moment is being lost by the Al
lies.” He said:
“We not only are facing the in
evitable deft.at of England and
the collapse of the British Em
pire, but also the defeat of the
United States unless something is
done and fast.”
The Admiral told an audience
of Chinese and American busi
ness men that something must be
done to “stop the sinking of Al
lied ships in the Atlantic, which
is going on faster than the ships
can be replaced."

Current Comments
From Washington
Persons no more than middle
aged can recall the time when
motor cars wen so scarce that
the auto race was one of the fea
tures of the county fair. The two
or three leading citizens of the
region who owned horse-less car
riages tom around the dirt track
at twenty miles an hour, giving
the spectators a real thrill. Not
ing that the present car regis
tration is in the neighborhood
thirty million, enactments that
touch the auto come home to ev
ery man’s door. Th order of the
OPM to cut car production twen
ty percent came as a shock. Those
hankering for their first car, and
those studying turn-in values
with the intention of buying a
new one, will find some consola
tion in the news that although
production must be curtailed, an
- flort will be made to prevent a
price rise.
The refusal of the Senate to
grant a mail sub-idy to a second
trans-Atlantic company is at'raot
:ng considerable attention. Charg
es cf fo ti ring monopoly arc
heard. Competition is =aid to be
the life of trad , and the adage
has much force. On the other
hand, ;he present may not be the
proper time to .incur additional
exnen-e in promoting air travel
between the United S at: s and
Europe. Furthermore, until con
ditions settle down, it may be
good policy to put all toe eggs in
one basket and give the basket
the best of care and protection.
Washington is a complacent
town, not easily diverted from
the even ten.or of its way, but
even the most sophisticated ob
serve an activity that is reminis
cent of th.; first World War. Gov
ernment departments hand!
bales of letters from correspond
ents who have plans of offense oi
defense. Hotel rooms are at a pm
rnium. Brief cases are inspected
before their bearers are permit
ted to enter the capitol. These
carrying cameras or packages arc
brought to a halt and required
to deposit their belongings in th'
check room. Rght or wrong,
prop* rly or unfortunately, the
wv. ■ v ••’d ••'■ness of the e- an try
is -prrodiog and stn ngthening.
Looking b ckwnrd over a 12
n n;h, it must be admitt< d that
all has not been well with Brit
ain. Whet happened in Norway
is n t pleasant tn recall. 1, pu;
Mr. Chamberlain on the hot spot.
Ifis successor, Mr. Churchill,

C'lUfs-a was a source of satisfac
tion to him personally, it pleas

Britons are not confronted with
the ta-k of carrying forward a
war, and reorganizing a govern
ment, at the same time.
By an inter-company arrange
iit ni, twenty-five mere ships
.have been made available to car
ry t irward the operation of the
L. nd-Lease Law. Berlin regards
ship transfers as a violation of
international law, a protest
which perhaps should be he1 de'd
it it can be established that the
chief concern of Germany is the
sanctity of international law.
Many are inclined to believe that
the Nazi organization is not : r
pvling Blur op with dead and fill

compli h any such vvir.lesciv.e
design.
The very fact that embottl c!
democracies are calling for he Ip,
makes it evident to anyon that
'■? giving of aid will prolong
die war. Mr. Hitler was n t an
nouncing an important discovery
'h'en he said at much, with a
ci"ilifying “but." T’v. import nt
i: v t is that he .should huv.- ad
mitted that assistance to his m

: 11. The Scripture is au.ha: ty
■ r lie statement that out of the
bundance of the heart the
n ulh speaketh Hitler has on his
mi d .-omc thing that is tioubling

Under the circumst nces. it is
: logical enough that the mind of
Hitler should move on from
doubt to appeasement, even
though he is insincere. ILs alley

Tacoma the same rati = as ap

to pppy only from or to S1 attle,
culminating in the Chamber Tra

cure equal rates.
Every elf rt was made to in

p ly rnd the Northland Trans

only three commodities.
