BULLETIN.
Representative Marcantonio,
only American Labor party mem
ber In Congress and chairman Of :.
the International Labor Defense,
testified before the House Com
mittee on Un-American Activi-
ties this afternoon he definitely"
knew the organization is not
connected with the Communist
party in the United States.
Declaring it had important in
formation affecting national defense,
the Dies committee has decided to
ask the House for ample funds" to
continue its investigation of un-
American activities for another
year.
due to the international situa-
ton, the committee has hundreds Of
important leads which cannot be
developed until it is given more
time and funds" a committee state
ment said last night.
"The committee is in possession of
vital information which affects our
national defense and which the
committee has just come into pos
session of, but which will take con-
siderable time to develop and ex-
pose."
The committee, created in 1888
with Representatives Dies, Demo-
crat, of Texas as its head, was ex-
tended for year by the House last
winter and was given $l25.000.
The committee announcement
said those members present at last
nights closed meeting voted unani-
mously for renewal of the authori-
zation. Among those present were
Representatives Voorhis, Democrat.
of California, and Casey, Democrat,
of Massachusetts,, who had voted in
the House against continuing the
investigation. They were not mem
bers Of the committee at the time.
Important Witnesses Claimed.
The committee said it was re-
liably informed that many impor-
tant witnesses" previously reluctant
to testify. would be willing "in the
course of the year to disclose far
reaching information with regard to
subversive activities, propaganda
and espionage"
The committee added that 1t
thought the renewal should be voted
at the present special session.
Fearless exposure through the
fullest publicity" it said, was "the
Democratic alternative to the meth
ods of dictatorship" and that at
the same. time it could recommend
helpful legislation that will in no
sense violate the Bill of Rights" of
the Constitution.
Fred Erwin Beal, North Carolina
convict, who calls himself dis
illusioned Communist" was en- route
here from Raleigh, N. c., to appear
before the committee. He is serv-
ing from II to 20 years in connection
with the killing of q Gastonia, N. c.,

Beal said at Raleigh that he
would tell the committee how the

and still leaving Russia out-many
economic experts give Britain an ex-
cellent chance of squeezing Ger
many-if the blockade can be main
tanned. This possibility is strength
ened by Germany's bad economic
position.
The Question of Russia.
But now we have to consider Rus
sia. Should the Soviet lay Itself out
to provide Germany with all supplies
possible, regardless of payment, then
the Reich might be able to carry on
indefinitely, irrespective of the
blockade.
However, we don't know what
Russia is going to do. Many OBJ
servers believe she may provide sup
plies for while and then cut them
off, having in mind to smash Ger
many in the long run so to extend
Soviet influence westward. We shall
have to wait to see how this very
important "if" comes out.
Now about England. This doll
garden country is far more depend
ent on the outside world than is
Germany. Seventy-five per cent of
all John Bull eats comes from
abroad.
English existence depends on the
Kings navy keeping the seas open
for her shipping.
Like Germany, England already
has frightened its belt. The little
man, responding to the slogan dig
for victory" is busy grubbing in the
soil Of a tiny garden plot which one
day will produce a handful of this

The War in Europe DAY by Day
First German Daylight Air Rod British Soil Moy Open
Phose of War Often Threatened by Hitler
BY DEWITT MACKENZIE,

Associated Press Stan writer.
The German daylight air attack
on the great naval base of Rosyth,
in Scotland's proud Firth of Forth
(the first raid on British soil in this
conflict, may mark the beginning
of that new phase of the war which
Herr Hitler so often has threatened
darkly-devastation from the sky.
This theatrical assault, coupled
with U-boat operations that result
ed in the sinking of the British bat
tleship Royal Oak, indicate re-
newed effort to break the English
blockade which is calculated to force
Germanys capitulation.
With 1t may be expected further
blows at British merchant shipping,
with the idea Of cutting off vital
food supplies from England.
The hunger duel between Ger
many and Britain would seem to be
on in earnest.
Both England and Germany suf-
fered privation in the last war. I
went into the Reich with the Brit
ish Army of Occupation and never
shall forget the hungry look in the
eyes of the underfed children, and
grownups as well. Many of the little
ones were suffering from ricketts, and
other maladies because of lack of
fats.
And I was in England when folk
were going without sufficient food
in order that the troops at the front
might be well fed. There was an un-
happy time when there were sup
plies for only about six weeks in
the country, at the height of the
German submarine campaign. Those
were the days when many good
ships laden with foodstuffs were
going to the bottom.
Reich Imports Fifth Of Food.
Nazidom is dependent on imports
for about fifth of her food in nor
NAL times. This figure presumably
increases considerably during war
Also the Reich lacks many vital
war materials, such as the oil which
Is all-important in these days of
mechanical warfare; manganese,
copper, nickel, iron. rubber, cotton
and long string Of others.
If we leave Russia out of the pic
ture for the moment, the position of
Germany now as regards supplies
isn't unlike what it was in the World
War. The Reich then had call on
about the same amount of foodstuffs
and war materials from Eastern Eu-
rope and the Balkans. About the
same neutrals were available for
trade, including Sweden, which fur
nishes the great bulk of Germany s
iron ore.
And yet the British blockade
starved Germany out.
Why? Well, because the sources
named couldn't fill the requirements.
Russia, which was on the allied side,
was knocked out by the Red revo-
luton before the end of the war.
Looking at it from this viewpoint

in England. An estimated half
billion acres are under the pictur-
esque hedges which surround the
fields and gardens. Hundreds of
thousands of acres are preserved in
the great estates. The little man
gets his shovelful Of soil where he
can find it and tills it, patiently and
patriotically.
Concern for the British.
Thus far Britain claims to have
swept German ships from the ocean
and to have the submarine menace
well In hand. But the other day
came the astonishing sinking Of
the Royal Oak.
Was the destruction Of this fort
ress f1uke, or was it due to the
development of some new technique
or even a different type of torpedo?
Does it presage further similar
depredations? Certainly it is some
thing to cause the British admiralty
much concern.
Then we still have to learn the
efficacy of bombing planes against
warships. That hasn't been de-
cisively determined yet in combat.
But what is most to be feared
from the British standpoint is mass
bombings by great numbers of
planes against merchant shipping
tied up in English seaports.
The navy may be able to protect
vessels at sea, but what saves it
in harbor? Anti-aircraft guns and
defending planes? There again we
must wait for the test.
Meantime those ships at the docks
are the dinner pals of England.
