Things That Are to Be" might well

Most amazing episode came late in
week when White House dramatically

warned United States Naval Attache in
Berlin that refugee-laden American
steamship 1roquois then in mid-Atlantic,
was speeding toward mysterious doom.

That motif of war at sea is to be re-
lentlessness was indicated by other pro-
nouncements of week.
Matching British decision to arm
merchantmen, Nazi press indicated au-
thoritatively that such vessels would be
sunk without warning. German sub

was Nazi scolding:

Warning came after second plea from
Secretary of State Hull that Americans
not sail on belligerent vessels; was fol-
lowed by Hull pronouncement that
United States docs not recognize the
legality of unrestricted interference with
Americans ships and commerce. Never
theless it is believed advisable to
warn all American merchant ships =
Of the special danger"
~ Temperate reaction of United States,
official and unofficial, to Nazi threats
was in marked contrast to 1914-18 era.
Initial German pronouncement of
February, 1915, of intention to sink
enemy merchantmen brought protest
note from this Government For two
years intermittent Berlin Washington
exchange followed. But real bombshell
came on January 81, 1917, when Berlin
announced unrestricted submarine war
fare.

The ELIAS forces now have withdrawn

The mountainous area in Greece,
which is slated to become one Of the

particularly interesting to the British.
But Salonika is. In the event 1t becomes

Britain's lines Of communication with
the Empire may become threatened.
In the last few months the foreign
policy Of the Churchill cabinet was con-
centrated on safeguarding these vital
lines. and number Of compromises
were effected for that purpose.
Britains unfortunate Intervention In
Greece was not prompted by any desire
to restore King George to his throne
but to prevent the establishment Of .
Communist and consequently MOSCOW

government, under the influence of
Moscow, would have become q menace

guard her vital interests, Prime Minister
Churchill withstood q storm OF criticism
from his own countrymen and from the
United States.
In the armistice signed with the ELIAS
nothing is known to have been said in
regard to Salonika. It is true that
the British forces in Salonika have been
strengthened in the last four weeks. But
the fact that the ELIAS forces have
withdrawn from Attica with all their
arms places the Salonika position in q
new light The ELIAS may join the
Macedonian army of liberation and soon
We may be confronted with a new and
not unexpected crisis in the Balkans.
The Moscow government is not in
volved directly in this matter. As q

The crux of the controversy, of course, is that MT. Hull still believes in appeasing Vichy, and the British gave that up long ago.
The British say that General DeGaulle did most of the fighting for the Allied cause in Syria, while Vichy, in resisting, killed many British troops. So they are going to stick with EcC IL.
But whichever side is right the British or Secretary Hull it might pay to work out some teamwork in advance. CHURCHILL'S PEANUTS
Winston Churchill didn't drop in on the President when he re- turned to the White House after his smash-hit speech to Con- gress. Neither did he immediately resume his crowded schedule of conferences.
The first thng the Prime Min lSter did was buy a bag of pea nuts.
A messenger was sent out to make the nickel purchase from Steve, famous Greek peanut vendor who holds forth outside the White House grounds at East East Executive and Pennsylvania avenues.
Then Churchill walked out into the garden behind the executive mansion and fed the squirrels, for which, like Falla, the Presi- dents dog, the Prime Minister developed a great fondness.
Not until the bag of peanuts was emptied did Churchill plunge into the turbulent business of war.

man troops. The relatively few who
heard 1t may not have understood, but
the dispatches telling of 1t and the
broadcasts that were no doubt sent out
later over our short-wave stations to
the interior of Europe also telling about
1t will be heard by many, many millions.
\ \
1t is these millions still living under
the Nazi yoke who sooner or later must
come to understand that the United
Nations do not stand before them as
would-be oppressors or vindictive con-
querorS of their lives but as trustees for
them and their children. That trus-
teesh1p will mean severe punishment
for the guilty, but it cannot mean en-
slavement for the innocent.
Too many persons are ready to push
aside as superf1uous or contradictory
such things as Easter services at the
front. These matters, they will say, are
not proper In war where the main ex-
perience is to kill or be killed. But
the strength of an honest cause Is more
powerful than any physical weapons the
world has ever made or used. If some-
how the speeches Of the President and
Prime Minister Churchill and Marshal
Stain could begin to exude the same
deep faith in the qualities Of human
brotherhood as were expressed In that
Easter service at Casino, the men who
fight on our side and the men on the
other side would derive renewed faith
that the sacrifices they now are making
will somehow some day bring q better
world, world of higher moral values
and a world Of peace built on the only
foundations that can endure -- the
philosophy of human love.

BY William Kerr, | To the Editor Of The Star, | To the Editor Of The Star:
In The Evening Star, issue of June ~
Mr.. William E. Kerr voices his senti-
ments on number of subjects, Including
the "cherubic, rotund, dynamic Winston
Churchill" Mr.. Kerr also states mite
badly that it is better to live Under
totalitarianism than to be free under six
feet of ground.
Maybe that is the way Mr.. Kerr feels
about it. About SO 44/1O0 per cent of
Americans don't, though. May remind
Mr.. Kerr that many of our ancestors bv
their own free choice took the six feet
OF ground in preference to even the yery
mild tyranny of George III.
Isn't it about time that the United
States stopped kidding itself? For years
we have been so SNUG and cocksure that
no power could ever gain foothold in
America, when all the time deep down
in our hearts we knew we were relying on
the British Navy to police the Atlantic.
I agree with L. r. K, although he has
expressed 1t so much better than could
have done, that the only successful way
to defend this hemisphere is to keep the
Allies from losing. And like l.. r. K, I.
too, pray God that 1t is not too late!

NEW YORK, May 28.-With less
than two weeks to 60 before the list
running of the Kentucky Derby, the
field has narrowed to where the WIN
ner is expected to come from group
of six horses.
This select half dozen is made up
of Col. E. R. Bradley's Burning
Dream: Pot O. Luck, from Warren
Wright's Calumet Farm: Alexis OF
Henry Lungers Christiana Stable;
Col. C. v. Whitney's Jeep; War Jeep,
from Elizabeth Graham's Main
Chance Farm, and John Marsch's
Free For All.
A dozen or more 3-year-olds are
expected to face the barrier at
Churchill Downs June 9, but If the
victor in the $4,000 added run for
the roses is not one of these six, the
race will go down as surprise.
Wednesdays running of the mile
and 10 yards of the Wood Memorial
at Jamaica may eliminate further
some of those now under consider
alton.
Bradley's hopes of winning his
fifth Derby were given a big boost
Saturday when Burning Dream won
the mile of the Derby Trial at the
Downs. The time of 1885 was not
sensational, but he left behind him
such talked-of 3-year -olds as c. c.

Churchill didn't have any credentials, so had to pay SIS, one dollar each for the thirteen members on the plane.
So the cameraman explained to the puzzled Vive- President that a member of the Short -Snorters Club always carried his credentials in the form of marked dollar bill. And if he can catch another member without his credentials, he has to pay dollar for drinks for every person present.
So Wallace, though he never takes drink, was duly inducted into the Short-Snorters, paid $8 for the eight people present, and was given a marked one dollar bill The filming then continued.

The parliamentary labor party, at a caucus, decided to oppose the mo. tion and support Churchill.

LONDON, June lin advance Of
the peacemaking, Britain's Euro
pean policy appears to be aimed at
consolidating her trade position
from the Arctic to Africa and at
developing mutual aid and economic
relations with the Mediterranean
seaboard countries as well as with
her continental neighbors.
This objective has been reflected
in Prime Minister Churchill's for
eign policy review last week. dem

ferences between the United States
and Britain over steps to take with
the Axis and in dealing with neu-
trails, and acknowledged privately by
high-ranking empire officials.
Kind Words for Spain.
1t Is felt that this purpose mott
waited in part Mr.. Churchill's kind
words about Spain and his remark
that he found it adifiicult to nourish
animosity against the italian peo-
pie" and his appreciation of the
Turks good services"
Spain perhaps has been the clear
est example Of British policy. There,
after tenUous negotiations, Gen.
eralissimo Francisco Frances gov
ernment agreed to curtail wolfram
shipments to Germany In compro-
mise to which the United States
agreed only after making it clear
that 1t did so under British pressure.
Since the turn of the war in favor
of the Allies, the United States has
been calling for "get-tough" policy
toward all countries selling goods
which might cost lives. Britain,
meanwhile, has been insisting that
each country be treated in the light
|of separate considerations.
Little Pressure on Portugal.
For instance, Portugal, although
Britain,s oldest ally, has wolfram
commitments to Germany larger
than those OF Spain. With Portugal
at present in no position to resist
warnings of economic retaliation,
there has been no indication that
anything has been done more than
to exert gentle diplomatic pressure. |

Italy through the air AS the result
of a smashing bombing attack on
Fascist warships at their principal
base of Taranto, the balance of
power in the Mediterranean has been
"decisively affected" That is the
assurance which a smile-Wreathed
Prime Minister Churchill gave the
House of Commons yesterday. He
was acquainting it with details of an
action in which naval air force
bombers crippled two Italian battle
ships, including one of the brand
new 35,000-ton Littorio class, and
probably damaged a third. OF Mus
Solini's six capital ships, only three
now remain battleworthy, and the
British Admiralty communique also
announces that two Italian cruisers
and two feet auxiliaries were heavily
struck.
Mr.. Churchill described events al
Taranto as "a glorious episode"
They not only affect conditions in
the Mediterranean, he explained, but
react upon the naval situation in
every quarter Of the globe" BY put
ting half Of Italy's Capital ships out
of action, it becomes possible to
release powerful units Of the British
Mediterranean armada for several
essential purposes-pursuit of the
German pocket battleship now
commerce-raiding in mid Atlantic,
strengthening of British forces in
the battle for Egypt and the Near
East, and dispatch, If necessary, of
fleet units to bolster the position
in the Pacific, freshly menaced by
japanese activities in Indo-Chino, in
the direction of Singapore.
It is the alteration of the Mediter-
ranean picture which is of immedi-
ate Importance With Italy's sea
power decimated, she is appreciably
less capable of lending naval support
to the land and air forces threaten
ing Egypt and the Suez Canal from
the direction Of Libya. The task of
defending Gibraltar against Italo-
German attack by land, sea and air
is also facilitated. Italy's fleet is the
principal challenge to British COM
mand of the Mediterranean and the
empire life line to the east. That
menace is considerably lessened by
the brilliant blow the air arm of the
Royal Navy delivered at laramie.
The effect on the Grecian campaign
should be distinctly unfavorable for II
Duce's ill-starred legions and it will
augment British prestige throughout
the Near East at a psychological
moment. |

in Cairo.
Looking ahead. he forecast leg

these he mentioned expanding ex-

Learmonth, both Of Maracaibo,
Venezuela, while the East and West
victors were Mrs. A. G. Bryant and
Mrs. G. H. Drury, both Of Ketchi-
kan, Alaska.
Due to war conditions in Europe
and Asia, the Olympic Committee In
New York which prepared the l6
pre-fixed par" deals played In the
contest, was delayed in receiving
returns from many remote places,
and the international leaders could
not be determined until all reports
had been submitted and examined.
Only 10 countries participated In
the event. whereas there were play
ers in AZ different countries last
year. War prevented England and
France and most Of the middle
European nations from taking part,
but nevertheless there were Olympic
games In India, Australia, New
Zealand and even in China and
Japan. South American countries
showed increased activity, and as
a result two citizens of Venezuela
captured first place in the inter-
national honors.
The match was conducted under
the auspices Of the American Con-
tract Bridge League, which from
time to time has made known the
national and State winners as the
score sheets were proven, but the
winners of the grand prize were
not announced until after the last
returns were In from Central China,
which required more than two
months for transmission.

IN the meet beginning this week.
The exception will be the worlds
championship masters pair contest
won In 1899 by Harry J. Fishbein
and Robert Appleyard. Both will
enter the contest but will not play
together.
In the other masters events. the
-Four Aces combination of Oswald

Impossible, London Says | BY the Associated Press. | By the Associated Press
LONDON. Feb. 25.-Any attempt
to withdraw British troops from
Singapore would have been sheer
murder" because Japan controlled
both the air and sea about the
island, an informed source said to-
day.
He disclosed that the British had
only merchant shipping at the smok-
ing city of Singapore at the end,
that there were no warships or air
protection for any ships which might
have been used to take of the troops.
In the evacuation of the naval
base all oil accumulations were
denied to the enemy" through
planned destruction, this source de-
clared, and the japanese therefore
would have to rely on their own
tankers to supply their invasion
forces in the Netherlands Indies.
He said he believed Prime Minister
Churchill's announcement in the
House of Commons yesterday of
recent increase in shipping losses re-
ferred to the overall Allied situation
rather than to British losses alone.

to determine at present the extent

day, returning discharged service

Der of athletes available. College
athletics, which have been using
mainly teen-age competitors. may
be among the first to feel the
strengthening effects of this addi-

remain, however. The Office of De-
Tense Transportation says that its
burden will be even greater after
We day in moving men and equip
ment to the Pacific theater of war.
/ A 15-point program for cutting
travel by college teams has been SUBJ
mitted to the ODT which said today
that the principal points presumably
will be put into effect.
Baseball took the lead in volun-
tarily curtalling travel, other sports
have followed suit, and these re-
ductiors will stand through 1945 or
until Japan is crushed, the ODT
said.

firmly against demands for an armi-
stice. He repeated that he wished to
transfer the government to French
Africa and continue the war from
there and was opposed by Petain and
Gen. Maxine Weygand, command
er in chief of the reeling French
forces.
Reynaud testified that at a cab
met meeting on the day he formed
his government, Petain read letter
threatening to resign as vice pre-
mier if an armistice were not &C
cepted.
The next day I received the
great British project for union be-
tween Our two people" Reynaud
said.
He added that Camille Chau-
temps, former premier and men,
Der of the Reynaud cabinet, opposed
the plan, saying he did not want to
see France become a British do
minion. He testified further that
Chautemps declared it was possible
for the government to leave France
without first getting terms of the
armiStice.
Il was then left with no choice
but to resign, for I was in the
minority" he said. That night
explained the situation to the cab
met and President Albert Lebrun
asked me to enforce the policy of
the majority replied I will never
apply it. for if the majority opinion
of the cabinet prevailed, France was
lost"
He testified that while the armis-
tice was being discussed he argued
with Petain and Admiral Jean
Darlan over the French fleet. Asked
if the warships would be given to
the Germans, Reynaud 7aid Darlan
replied:
Il would sooner put it out to sea-"
Later, at Bordeaux, Reynaud
quoted Darlan as saying: "I will see
to it that the fleet does not fall into
German hands"
He testified that Darlan-since as
sassinated in Algiers, where he was
collaborating with the American in
vasion-sent orders to the fleet COM
mand to sink the ships rather than
let them fall into German hands.
No Faith in Darlan's Word.
# Immediately informed Churchill
of this message, but he had no
faith in Darlan's word, and the re-
suit was Mers El Khebir" (Oran-
where the British attacked the
French fleet in North Africa, Rey-
maud said.
The former Premier said that
after Petain nominated him for
Ambassador to Washington and he
refused the post.
After that I became public en-
emy No. in France" he said.
He told of the arrest of Georges
Mandel, minister of interior in the
Reynaud cabinet, and OF his trial in
Algeria. He said Petain intervened,
obtaining Mandels release from a
military tribunal in Algeria so that
he could be tried before the court at
Riom. Later Mandel became Ger
man prisoner and eventually was
slain by two Vichy militiamen.
Referring to his own arrest and
questioning at Riom, Reynaud ex-
claimed:
Can you imagine, gentlemen, I
was arrested for embezzlement!"
Verdun Episode Recalled.
He said experts examined his es-
tate and discovered he had in
structed his banker to buy foreign
securities, adding:
THAT is nothing, gentlemen, COM
pared with actions of certain high
personality who ordered our pre-
cious gold taken from the Bank of
France and converted into foreign
currency"
The high personality" was not
named.
Reynaud recalled the opinion of
Marshal Joffre regarding Petain,
saying that after the battle of Ver-
dun Petain lacked faith in the pos
sibility of defending the fortress.
"Joffre declared he found Petain
so defeated that he wanted to sur
render the fortress" Reynaud said
Reynaud charged that Petain op-
posed fortifying the northern from
tiers of France and also a two-year
period of military service. He pro-
duced a 1885 Fascist brochure writ
ten by Henry Herve entitled 1--WE
Need Petain."
Capitulation of Fleet.
The witness testified that while
IPetain still was Ambassador to Spain
before the battle Of France began
the marshal told former cabinet
minister Anatole Demonzie::
France will need me the latter
part of May"
He said Chautemps still favored
] continuing the war early in May
1910, but suddenly changed his views
and advocated an armistice. Rey-
maud asked:
who corrupted him? Only Petain
!, could have corrupted him."
; He said also that Petain "cor-
lrupted" Darlan and thereby brought
about capitulation of the French
I fleet, asserting:
S "The armistice could not have
r been signed without capitulation oi
$ the fleet"
: Reynaud closed his testimony with
D the words: Never has people beer

Meanwhile, the French, Belgian,
Dutch and Polish governments IN eA.-e
are airing claims to historically Ger

will be granted would seem to rest upon
their willingness to act as British or
American subspheres. These countries
cannot otherwise defend newly con-

the German territories which she
claims, will have to hold them by So

oust Gen. Franco was made in a letter by
Francis H. Russell, chief division of public
liaison, writing "for the secretary of
state" to Bishop Lewis o. Hartman
chairman of the American Committee for
Spanish Freedom, Manhattan, according
to an article in the New York Times,
Monday, Sept 10.
The large number of letters and tele-
phone calls to the Tablet expressing
amazement that the American government
had adopted policy of intervention in
the affairs of foreign country has re-
suited in letter being sent to Mr.. Russell
requesting further information on the new
state department policy, The letter of the
Tablet appears below.
HNHE Times article also revealed that
Il the American Committee for Spanish
Freedom is circulating petitions to secure
million signatures to involve the United
States in war with Spain, although the
committee says the breaking off of diplo-
matte and commercial relations with Spain
will "avoid third world war"
The immediate purpose of the petition
is to obtain passage in Congress Of the
resolution offered some months ago by
Rep. John M. Coffee of Washington,
consistent supporter of Communist party
policy in the House of Representatives
to break off relations.
Reports reaching the Tablet indicate
that the drive for signatures is being
extended widely in New York City by
Soviet sympathizers.
The Coffee resolution has been given
~ nj in ha nTnu pICtn
since its introduction in Congress, although
little has been heard of it in the daily
American press until recent weeks.
TTHE letter of the Tablet to Mr. Russell
Il follows:
LETTER TO STATE DEPARTMENT
BROOKLYN, Sept. IL
Dear Mr. Russell:
In Mondays New York Times, in a
letter to Bishop Lewis o. Hartman, you
are quoted as discussing the attitude of
the state department toward Spain.
Since you explicitly express the official
position Of the state department and since
YOU state that the views IN the letter
reflect 1.-The feeling of the American
people" we would appreciate the opportu-
nifty Of criticizing your letter, both as
American citizens and as part Of the body
Of the American people.
You stated, according to the New
York Times
"The department recognizes and shares
fully the feeling of the American people
that there should be established in Spain
forms of government which would give TO
the Spanish people the opportunity to
achieve their political aspirations. The
question of how to use our influence, in thu
best and most effective manner, and to
aid in the achievement of these objectives
in an orderly and peaceful way, is receiv-
ing constant study by officers of the
department"
VXTOULD you kindly inform. us how
w you ascertaned 1.-The feeling of the
American people,? as close students of
the propaganda against Spain (and other
nations positively opposed to the spread
of Soviet communism within their borders)
we have observed no agitation for change
of regime in Spain or for interference in
the internal government of that nation,
except in the Communist press, until re-
cent weeks
The Coffee resolution, to which Bishop
Hartman referred in the Times article,
was given little publicity at the time
of its introduction except in the Daily
Worker.
The committees which have been
organized since that time as was to be
expected, represent apparently only iso-
lated elements headed in most cases by
the usual personages associated with pro-
Soviet or pro-Communist international
movements and few innocent front men.
We have noted no expression of the
Feeling" you mention in Congress or
anywhere else. Instead we find most
Americans agree with Winston Churchill,
who last May in commencing the present
Spanish government stated in regard to
the North African landings:
II shall always consider the service so
rendered at that time of Spain not only to
the United Kingdom and the British En-
pire and commonwealth but to the cause
of the United Nations. =. Internal pOlit-
ical arrangements in Spain are a matter
for the Spaniards themselves. II is not

United States and Britain has reached
a dangerous stage. Hitherto there have
been utterances of dissatisfaction on
both sides. But now influential journals
like the London Economist are proposing
measures to enforce the British view
point. Inasmuch as these include the
military conduct of the war. it is likely
they will be badly received here and
possibly with the threat Of counter
measures
This-if it goes on-will mean the
strength of each partner in the coalition
will be modified by counter policies of
one against another, which will end in
dissolution of the coalition, before the
war is over, or after its end - -1..-
alton, therefore, is of great gravity, and
must be discussed with utmost sobriety
There is no purpose to be served by
name-calling. We must ask ourselves
how we got into this state of affairs
No one member of the coalition got us
into it. We got ourselves into it, all
together, at the moment we departed
from the principles of the Atlantic
Charter.
A coalition can only be held together
Dy III common enemy, ana VI COM
monty accepted principles. Once the
enemy ceases to be a common menace,
in the absence of principles everything
dissolves.
There have been three major political
errors in this war, all arising out of the
first one-the discounting of the At
lantic Charter. The second was the
Interpretation that has accumulated
around unconditional surrender; and
the third, the failure to produce any
reasonably policy for a postwar Europe
AS far as I know, the first head of a
state publicly to repudiate the Atlantic
Charter was Winston Churchill, when,
in speech before the House of Com
mons, he stated its terms did not apply
to our enemies. When, today, the Lon
don Economist attacks the partition of
Germany-and attacks it, in my belief,
with great wisdom-it should also see
the moment the principles of the At
lantic Charter were lifted regarding

The original manuscript of Arthur
Hugh Clough's poem Say Not the
Struggle Nought Availeth
by Winston Churchill in his broad
cast to the United States April 81
is to be exhibited at the Library Of
Congress.
Archibald MacLeiSh, librarian, has
announced the loan of the manu-
script by the British Prime Minister.
1t crossed the Atlantic in a dip
lomatic pouch and was delivered by
the British Ambassador, Lord
Halifax
The story of the writing of the
now famous verses is wrapped in
mystery and romance. According to
Mr.. MacLeish. Clough was in Rome
in the early summer of 1849 at the
time when Garibaldi was defending
that city against the French.
ut is generally supposed" the
librarian says, that he composed
this lyric during those weary days
OF waiting. Back at his post at
University Hall, London, In the
autumn. Clough incorporated the
four stanzas in letter to his good
friend. William Allingham Although
they were not published until after
his death, they have brought the
poet his most enduring fame"
Mr. Churchill cited the eight final
lines Of Clough's work in his April
81 address. as follows:
For while the tired waves. vainly
breaking,
Seem here no painful inch to gain,
Far back, through creeks and inlets
making.
Comes silent, flooding in the main.
And not by eastern windows only,
When daylight comes, comes in
the light,
In front the sun climbs slow, how
slowly,
But westward look, the land is
bright"
The last line provides the title for
the new play by George S. kaufman
and Edna Ferber, The Land Is
Bright" which opened last week in
Washington and now is playing In
New York
On June II the Clough manuscript
was sold at auction at Sotheby's in
London. The purchaser was Charles
Scribner, president of the Scribner
publishing house, New York. But

numbers and taken the Capital. But this
time it is peaceful invasion of military
and civilian experts, f1anked by several
corps of secretaries, clerks and inspectors,
who have come to coordinate the war
effort of the United States with that of
Great Britain.
The biggest organiza tion-the British
Supply Council in North America-has
staff of more than 1,500, most of them in
Washington. 1t took only about twice
that many redcoats to defeat the Amer
leans at the battle of Bladensburg in the
War of 1872. From Bladensburg they
marched on the Capital with decidedly
hostile intentions.
The present-day invaders are bursting
with good will working to bring about
the highest degree of cooperation in
British and American production efforts.
The list includes some of England's best
brains, men who have won distinguished
rank in several fields. And titles come
at 10 cents a dozen, with virtually every
other executive knight or a baron
Scramble for Office Space.
The Britishers have had a scramble to
find Office space in crowded Washington.
They have taken over apartments, pri-
vate dwellings and an entire floor of the
Willard Hotel. 1t is not surprising to
find Sir so-and-So with his Office in part
of a bathroom-plumbing fixtures re-
moved-with his secretary occupying
what has been serving pantry and his
staff in the former living room of the
apartment. All this is reminiscent of
the N. R. A., when Washington was full
to bursting, but not so crowded as is the
city today, what with the British in
vasion and the defense boom
1t is big business, of course, that the
British are conducting very big business.
AS measure of the scope of operations
of the Supply Council an average of $500
cablegrams day go in and out of the
councils various Offices in Washington
and New York.
Besides the Supply Council, there are
several British press organizations in
this country, all of limited scope. The
SCAAtA al SNlC1ItAA4S O111CC lldS live SCltIl-
lists in the United States to coordinate
wartime research. A small group from
the British Treasury, headed by Sir
Frederick Phillips, is working with Sec
retary Morgenthau. Representatives of
the chancellor of the exchequer are in
New York nquidating British securities.
Shipping experts from the Admiralty
and from private ship companies have
extensive New York offices.
Diplomatic Staff Expanded.
All this is in addition to the diplomatic
representation which has been greatly
expanded since the start of the war.
The huge British Embassy on Massa-
chusetts avenue is being enlarged to
take care of the new secretaries and at
taches on special mission. Lord Halifax,
as Ambassador. is the real policy making
spokesman, but there are many other
Britishers assigned to duties that are
almost as important.
Included within the Supply Council
are three organizations of primary i'm
portance: The British Purchasing Com
mission, the British Air Commission and
the delegation from the Admiralty. The
Purchasing Commission stems from the
Ministry of Supply, an important branch
of the Churchill government in London.
At the head of the Supply Council in
America is Arthur B. Purvis.
Purvis is a self-made man with a wide
range of business experience. Born in
England, he left school at rather early
age and went to Canada to make his
fortune. Unlike so many other Brit
ishers who go there with the same OBJ
jective, Purvis succeeded. At Is he was
manager of the Canadian branch of an
important chemical firm. He became
head of Canadian Industries, Ltd, which
is part of Imperial Chemical, world
wide combine. Purvis has been in Can
ada since 1922 and considers himself a
Canadian.

post, since he has been head of the Brit

But the workman maintains his
salary has not kept pace with the
war-invoked rise in the cost of living
Some labor leaders say the employ
ers, backed by the Conservative
party, hesitate to elevate wages to
any great extent for fear they would
be forced to keep them there in a
postwar depression.
The employers themselves con-
tend publicly that it would do no
good to raise wages now since the
raise would automatically entail
higher production costs and conse-
quently still higher cost of living,
thus nullifying the additional
salary.
How labor responds to this argu-
ment was demonstrated by the
Amalgamated Engineering Union
the other day, which agreed only at
the eleventh hour to call off a strike,
after an appeal from one of it's
members. He had two sons fighting
for Britain, and demanded, when
they come home what could I say
to them if I had struck while they
were tighting?"
Bevin Wins Cabinet Post.
When you ask labor leaders in
general what they want, they reply
it is better chance in the future
of a caste-ridden land that draws
most of its leaders from the per
cent of the population attending
public schools"
One of their major fears is that
the war will jeopardize the advan-
tages they have managed to acquire
up to now. For instance, labor men
say they would like an "iron-clad
guarantee of protection if their
ranks are to be opened to a flood of
new labor, which undoubtedly would
mean a postwar surplus of skilled
workmen.
Laborites say they appreciate the
augmented voice in national affairs
which the war has given them.
Ernest Bevin, one of their own
people, has replaced "minerun
politician" in the Labor Ministry
Mr.. Bevin in addition has won a
place on the important inner war
cabinet.
But Mr.. Bevin, they say, is in the
difficult position of trying to keep
both workers and employers happy
now.
On the labor conscription question,
labor sees the prospect of the gov
ernment dropping the kid glove
method for one of blunt command.
Conscription advocates, however,
believe it might be more palatable
to labor if administered by some one
like David Lloyd George. They
think the question would be taken
out of politics if the 78-year-old
elder statesman who has no AK to
grind" were to enter the cabinet as
Munitions Minister with a blank
check to do anything necessary for
production of the necessary guns,
tanks and shells
Mr.. Bevin, often called England's
"next Prime Minister" does not
agree.
If Mr. Lloyd George is not called,
informed London sources say, Mr..
Churchill may either have to swing
Mr.. Bevin around or draft the men
into the factories himself.
A bright spot in the picture has
been produced by Lord Beaverbrook
and his brand-new Ministry of Air
craft Production. "The Beaver" has
prodded labor, management and
government departments with equal
vigor to get the planes, planes,
planes" Britain needs.
The veteran publisher modestly
admits he is driving industry to
the utmost" and smiles broadly as
he says that American planes are
flying over regularly. |

Reported Agreed on
frances Future Role | BY the Associated Press. | by the ASsOClAttu FIesA
PARIS, Nov. 13-Sweeping agree
ments giving France a key role in
postwar Europe and looking toward
her future security were quickly
reached in talks between Prime
Minister Churchill and Gen. Charles
de Gaulle during the British Prime
Minister'S visit to Paris, it was re-
ported reliably today.
Concurrent with Frances admis-
sion TO seat on the European Ad-
visory Commission the British and
French statesmen agreed that
French forces should participate in
the military occupation of a de-
feated Germany alongside British,
American and Russian contingents.
The exact area Of occupation to
be assigned France was left to the
commission to decide.
Yesterday Prime Minister Church.
i'll assured the French people that
Great Britain desires to see France
possessed Of a powerful army and
united under the government of
Gen. Charles de Gaulle.
Speaking in French before
cheering assemblage in the Hotel de
Vile, Mr.. Churchill said the Ger
mans might be beaten within the
next six months.
I'VE don't want to prolong the
war merely to give your army the
opportunities 1t DESIRES" he added,
but We hope as much of the French
army as possible will be able to en-
gage in the final battles"
Mr.. Churchill visualized a power
full and well-equipped French army
as an aid in establishing stability
in Europe, and united France as
a help in protecting us from repe-
tition Of German aggression"
He declared that fortunately YOU
have at this moment at your head
an incontestably able chief" adding
with grin that he had had some
slight differences" with him from
time to time.
Then he added in great earnest
ness; But rally to him so that
France remains united, indivisible." |

Even Though Sacrifice Be Required. | To the Editor of The Star:
The United States is an important
world power, politically and economical
ly. We have been involved before in
the affairs of Europe and even now are
so deeply committed that there seems
to be no other way than to take our
place with the Allies and see this con-
f1ict through to the defeat of Nazi-ism
But is it not more sane and civilized
to sacrifice for peace rather than for
war?
In the first place, the slogan of the
interventionists, Britain is fighting our
battle and we must help her" savors
too much of propaganda to be swal-
lowed whole. The battle was not ours
in the beginning, and certainly we did
not ask Britain to fight it for us And
no one can foretell the outcome whether
we enter the struggle or not.
Charles A. Lindbergh, who already has
proved that he knows what he is talking
about, and who doubtless has a clearer
and more complete understanding of the
situation in Europe than any of our
politicians, says that England, even with
our help, is not in a position to win.
On the other hand. there are those
who say that England has a good chance
to succeed. We are already furnishing
war material, ships and planes which
we probably ought to be accumulating
for ourselves against a possible need
for them in the future. We are sending
these supplies so that England may
fight with them, and Winston Churchill
himself said recently that enough Amer
ican shipping has been promised to
assure victory in the battle of the
Atlantic. If this be So why should
America go farther?

To Join British Fleet | By the Associated Press. | By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Feb. 10. Informed
sources said today the 35,000-ton
battleships Anson and Howe, the
newest of the King George v. class,
soon would join the British fleet.
They based their statement on
Prime Minister Churchill's decla-
ration Tuesday that before the Ger
man battleships Scha-nhorst and
Gneisenau could be put in fighting
trim "the Royal Navy will be rein
forced by various important units
of highest quality"
The Howe, originally named the
Beatty, was launched November II,
1899, and one source said she easily
could be in service or at least be
undergoing trials now. The same,
he added, was true of the Anson,
originally named the Jellicoe, which
was launched in 1910.
Five ships formed the class orig
inally. The King George v and
the Duke of York already are at
sea; the Prince OF Wales was lost
last December when attacked by
Japanese warplanes OF Malaga. |

Among Units Pouring
Into Madagascar
Repatriation Is Offered
French; Restoration Of
Island Is Promised | BY the Associated Press. | BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 8.-The Daily
Mail published today dispatch
from Madrid which said that
according to reports from
Vichy," the source of which was
undisclosed, United States and
South African troops "are pour
ing into Diego Suarez," the
Madagascar base just taken over
by the British.
Several hours after this report was
published there was no confirmation
from any source.
A Foreign ONCE commentator an
nounced that the British had offered
to repatriate any Frenchmen on
Madagascar who did not wish to
cooperate with the United Nations"
and pledged restoration of the is
land to France simultaneously with
the first landing on Madagascar
Tuesday.
Further Landings Necessary.
The first British landing resulted
in capture of the strategic Diego
Suarez naval base yesterday morn
ing, but military commentator
said further landings would be
necessary to obtain such vital
strategic points as the Tulear air
base if French resistance continued
The commentator said the offer
to the French was made to avoid
bloodshed' and was contingent on
French cooperation with the British
occupation forces.
He said, however, there was no
confirmation of reports that the
surrender terms at Diego Suarez in
cluded a cease fire" order for all
French forces on the island, 28, 500
square miles in area.
Casualties Less Than 1000.
1t was reported that more than
one-half of the French troops on
the island were involved in the de-
fense of the Diego Suarez naval base,
which would mean that the sur
render there minimized the French
chances of real resistance elsewhere.
Prior to the British attack, the
French declared they were able to
mobilize 5000 soldiers on the island.
A Vichy news broadcast, however,
estimated the total French defense
force as 1000 men. This version
said only 1900 French troops had
been engaged in the fight in the
Diego SuareZ area, presumably leav-
ing more than 5000 holding positions
to the south.
British casualties in the conquest
OF the Diego Suarez Bay area may
be considerably less than 1000, it
was stated authoritatively.
Prime Minister Churchill had told
the House of Commons yesterday
the casualties may exceed the 1000
figure.
A military commentator said in
fantry units which advanced in the
first attack on Antsirana and had
been reported missing now were
known to have established them
selves in independent positions near
the town.
They held on under French attack
until the British assault captured
the town and rescued them from
encirclement.
These forces took a number of
French prisoners in the first land
ing at Courier Bay, followed by
headlong assault on French coastal
batteries overlooking the bay, the
commentator said.
The Foreign Office commentator,
in explaining the British offer to the
French, declared:
They Informed authorities that
the territory of Madagascar would
remain French and after the war
would be restored to French SOW
ereignty.
They further stated that if mem
oers of civil and military organiza-
lions declared their intention to CO.
operate with the United Nations
heir salaries and pensions would be
provided from funds to be made
available for that specific purpose.
"A guarantee of repatriation was
given civil and military personnel
who did not wish to cooperate with |
he United Nations and could claim
he right to reside in metropolitan
France. Repatriation would take
,lace when ships were available.
THE condition laid down by the
orce commanders was that no de-
'truction of civil or military install |
ations, war stores, armament or |
ther supplies must be carried out by
he French on the island"

My Dear. I Hope So
His precise impersonal con- ments on what was coming were as serenely offhand as a golfers idle comment on his game.
On that day, the prime minis ter was at O'Connor's command, inspecting troops. At one point during the morning he turned to the general and said something to this effect.
Do you know Montgomery thinks very highly of you?"
O'Connor, fragile looking be- side Churchill's bulk, turned to his chief and said:
Dear me, I hope he's right" |

Assurances Sent
To New Ally | By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Oct. 28.-Both King
George vi and Prime Minister
Churchill have promised Greece
every possible help against the
Italian invaders in personal mes
sages to the Greek sovereign and
Prime Minister, it was learned
tonight.
The messages, from King George
vi of England to King George II of
Greece, and from Churchill to Pre-
mier John Metaxas, conveyed Brit
aims positive" assurances that she
intends to redeem the pledge of
support in the event of attack
which was given to Greece by the
Chamberlain government in April of
1899.
These assurances were dispatched
in response to Greece's appeal for
help. Presumably they were given
to Greek Minister Simopoulos when
he saw Foreign Secretary Lord Hal
flax at the Foreign Office this aft
ernoon.
Appeal Made Through Envoy.
Greece's Premier made his appeal
through Sir Michael Palairet, Brit
ish Minister to Greece.
Asked if Greece could be regarded
as an ally, an authoritative spokes-
man replied Assuming that hos
t;l;ti,e Loua kar,,v vac -
Despite persistent reports, how
ever, that the Mediterranean fleet
was already steaming to the aid of
Greece, authoritative sources said
they had no information whatever
on the possible beginning Of a
British campaign.
Former Premier Neville Cham
berlain gave Greece the British
guarantee on April 13. 1899. when
he said: In the event of any action
being taken which clearly threatens
the independence of Greece or Ru-
mania, and which Greek or Ru-
manian governments respectively
consider it vital to resist with their
IldtlOlldl 4OlICo, 6oVCA
would feel themselves bound at
once to lend the Greek or Rumanian
government, as the case may be, all
the support in their power"
Greeks Have Kept Calm.
Military circles in London said
Italy was known to have 10 or II
divisions in Albania and additional
auxiliaries comprising total of ap-
proximately 100000 men. Included
are one armored division and one
crack Alpine division.
Italy had done her very best to
make Greece abandon neutrality"
authoritative sources asserted, but
the Greeks have maintained the
most admirable calm. All they've
done is take necessary defense
measures in a most unprovocative
manner"
These same sources said Emanuele

A powered lifeboat manned by

from the Humboldt Bay Lifeboat

were too dangerous for a larger
vessel. Departing at 8:35 pm. De-

through intermittent rain squalls
toward the scene of the torpedoe-
ing, the Navy announcement said.
About O'Clock next morning the
lfeboat's lookout reported a large,
unlighted object looming up on the
port bow that proved to be a long.

stack or housing. The vessel made
no response to light signals. and as
the lifeboat continued on. the other
vessel overlook and attempted to
ram it. the announcement related.
Chief Churchill changed his
course quickly and avoided being
struck. Positive Identification was
impossible due to darkness, but a
later check showed no United States
vessels in this area at that time.
The lifeboat continued on its
course, and after finding no signs
of life on board the Emidio started
back toward the Humboldt Bay
Station. About $50 am. a peri
scope was sighted about 600 yards
from the lifeboat, then about 4
miles northeast Of the Emidio. The
periscope disappeared in few min.
utes, but reappeared about Is min
utes later. The submarine followed
the lifeboat for about five minutes
and then disappeared and was not
sighted again. The lifeboat reached
its base about 12:45 pm. without

Steps Weighed Carefully.
The American and British civi

weighing each step carefully to pre-
vent bruising the feelings of neutra
nations wherever possible, but the
basic policy in that field is to be
dictated by the desire to prevent
a waste OF lives.
Such a policy was emphasized
in Commons by Prime Minister
Churchill in discussing the closing
of the Irish border and was re-
iterated by Secretary of State Hull
in his radio address Sunday. 1t will
serve as a signpost for Undersecre-

If Fire persists in her refusal to

tains letter dated November 4, 1866,
from Sir John D. Acton to Gen. Robert
E. Lee which states: Much OF Eng
lands good will toward the South was
neither unselfsh nor sincere. 1t sprang

ment and regius professor OF modern

Continuing selfishness and insincerity
toward America is shown by letter
written in 1914, during the last European
war, by winston Churchill, then in the
cabinet, now Premier of his imperial
majesty's government, in which Churchill
urged the enlistment of thousands OF
American boys, including large num-
ber of Southerners, to fight for England.
He stated:
Nothing will bring American SYM

blood shed in the field" From "The
World Crisis" p. 293, written in 1928 by
Winston Churchill in London and pub
lished by Charles Scribner's Sons IN
New York;
Mr.. Churchill recently denied the
truth of an oral interview which he gave
to an editor Of New York paper in 1886.
Churchill cannot, however, deny those
uneuuivocal and cold-blooded words
which he wrote, sold and published in
1928. Is Churchill, by his present assur-
ance that he does not want our boys, as
crafty as was Balfour, who headed the
British delegation to the United States
in the spring Of 1917 and declared that
what the Allies wanted from us was
money and ships, but in a short while
the English were clamoring for unframed
American troops to be put in the front
lines to die under English generals?
Why do our Southern Senators and
Representatives almost unanimously
clamor for "all-out aid to England"
though it jeopardizes the future exis-
tence of the Republic, the lives of its
sons, its financial solvency, and deprives
us of our weapons Of defense?

Reorganization of British Cabinet Sees Very Wide
Reshuffling | BY WEBB MILLER United Press Staff COrreSp0ndent) | London, April 4 - (U.P) - The W d Il d scope of Winston Churchill's authority over the board strategic conduct of the war is the outstanding development in Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's cab inet re-Shuffle.
As chairman of the committee of service ministers which meets regu- larly with the three chiefs of staff to make recommendations to the war cabinet on the principal fac- tors of the strategic situation and the progr S of operations, Churchill is now in position to put more boldness and initiative in the direction of the war.
Otherwise Chamberlain,S re- shuffle was greeted tepidly or cri- tically by the press and public and it was unlikely to dissipate public feeling that the present cabinet is mot getting on" sufficiently vigor- ously with the war.
"Puss In Corner"
Even the pro-government Times characterizes the shuttle as "like an elaborate game of puss in the cor ner" and points out that in three cases ministers simply traded offices
It is generally recognized that Chamberlain is hamstrung in any effort to broaden the political basis of his government by appointing odpposition leaders to cabinet posts, because labor party men have re- fused to enter the government and there is no sign of an alteration in their attitude.
Chamberlain's re-shuffle recog- nized the fact that the masses are dissatisfied with the way the gov ernment is running the war. Inas- much as Churchill's prestige is higher than ever, the increase in his authority and the opportunity to

Churchilrs Overthrow Sought.
A group of members disclosed
that they were trying to get sufi-
cient signers to motion which II
passed would constitute an over
throw of Churchill and creation OF
a new cabinet.
The proposed motion asked Com
mons to declare 1T has no conn
dence in the central direction and
general strategy of the war" and
appeared based on the old criti-
cism that Mr.. Churchill, as defense
minister, takes too large hand IN
military affairs.
Mr.. Attlee said the Axis lost
heavily in the twin convoy battle,
with a battleship torpedoed and a
cruiser of the 8-inch gun Trento
class and two destroyers sunk.
The convoy from the east passed
supply ships into Tobruk. he said,
and then steamed on toward Malta.

Harbor, addressing Congress the day
after Christmas in 1941, Winston
Churchill referred to Mussolini in a
scoring phrase of prophecy: THAT
boastful Mussolini," he said, has
crumbled already. He is now but
lackey and serf, the merest utensil
of his masters will"
It was harder to see it then. Six
months after that statement the Serf,
trailing as always his master, had in
f1icted blow on Allied hopes that
seemed catastrophe. The British
had been backed to the Ell Alamein
line, only eight miles from Alex
andria. For the Axis the prospect
was frightening again. 1t seemed
possible that they might regain all
they had lost since the swelling,
breast-beating Duce had told his
people: Now the die is cast, and our
will has burned our ships behind
u.s."
But in the year just past, every
thing this man had sought to build
has collapsed about him. Now he is
through, kicked out like any other
faithless lackey, not by the master to
whom Mr.. Churchill referred but the
the very forces he set in motion two
decades ago-forces he sought to
guide but which neither he, nor any
other man, ever has been competent
to control. What does his partner
think, covering somewhere in Ger
many today? How grim, to him, must
be the lengthening shadows all about
him. cast by his own setting sun!
How he must dread the truth. when
can see the pattern of a parallel,
drawn with deadly certitude by &C
cumulating disaster.
For days the news has echoed the
internal havoc in Italy, wrought by
defeats around the outer rim and by
eruptions among the Italian people,
hopelessly beaten in war they never
wanted, sick with their suffering, be-
trayed by their leader. Marshal
Badoglio's thin words reveal more
clearly than any censored news dis
patch or broadcast the disruption
within, which he is called on now to
hold in check. If possible, until the
assurance OF peace brings with it
some hope of order. The beginning
OF the end? The people of Italy will
welcome the end now, If only for it's
promise Of new beginning. |
