Spectacular Plane
Deliveries Due Il
Embargo Lifted
Flying Of Croft to
Carrier in Midoceon
Held One Method
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Spectacular measures to speed up
the delivery of fAmerican-made war
planes to Europe may be expected
If the arms embargo is lifted.
France and Britain need in a
hurry the fighters, bombers and
other craft ordered here to REIN
force their defenses against any
German aerial "blitzkrieg"
Probably none of the 300 or so
planes already awaiting delivery is
capable of spanning the Atlantic
by air, but they could go part of the
way. Indications are that some at
least will leave the United States
under their own power, instead of on
crates slowed away in the holds of
slow-moxing, vulnerable freighters.
Several possibilities are open that
appear to be both practicable and in
accord with the administration S
proposed Neutrality Act revision,
and it is a safe assumption that all
are being explored.
Would Save Delay.
To save the delay involved in
shipping planes in knockdown form
to be reassembled and tested on
arrival. they might be conveyed
ready for action in fast British
or French aircraft carrier.
If a presidential proclamation or
neutrality law ruling should bar
a belligerent warship on such a
mission from American ports, il
could sail from Canada, after the
planes had been flown across the
border.
An even faster and more spec
tacular method would be to fly the
planes several hundred miles at
sea to a carrier which could launch
them into the air upon nearing
Europe and then speed back to this
side of the Atlantic for another
cargo.
BY this means the warplanes
might be in France in three or
four days Difficulties with the
new 300-mile safety zone around
the Americas might be forestalled
by keeping the carrier beyond It's
outer limit. but still we'll within
the range of any combat plane.
Regardless of British and French
claims that they have overtaken
Germany in warplane production
the allies want the American planes
just as quickly as they can get them
Fighting Ability Shown.
In quality some $50 Curtiss Hawk
single -engine fighters have shown
the ability in combat over the west
ern front to cope on at least equal
terms with the Nazis' famous Mes
serschmidts Some American eX-
perts doubt that Germany has
planes to match the 100 Douglas
and 400 Martin attack bombers
which France ordered early this
year.
In numbers, the American-made
planes ready for delivery represent
the prospective losses of only a few
days of unrestricted aerial warfare,
but decisions in wartime often
hinge on small margins.
When the war started, France and
Britain had contracted with Amer
lean manufacturers for about 1900
warplanes of all types. President
Roosevelt's neutrality proclamation
Cancelled delivery of 600 or more.
Now it is reported that a French
mission Is authorized to order 2,750
additional planes and a British mis-
sion is ready to contract for some
5000.

of India. Certain parts of the coun-
try still have local princes, with i'm
portart power, and some of the
princes are men of great wealth.
They do not, however, dispute the
rule of Great Britain. In 1911, King
George v and Queen Mary paid q
visit to India, and were treated with
high honor at Delhi.
Before the visit, Calcutta had been
the capital of India for many years.
but the visit marked the change of
the capital to Delhi. Although Delhi
does not have nearly so large a
population as some other cities in
India, 1t is important in Indian his
tory. The Great Moguls and other
rulers of the past had palaces there.
Not far south of Delhi is the city
of Agra. One of the Great Moguls
caused beautiful tomb to be built
there. It is known as the Tai Mahal.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Soon after Columbus made his
nrst voyage across the Atlantic, and
planted the flag of Spain in the New
World, ships of Portugal found an
all-Water route to India. They were
able to go around Southern Africa,
then cross the Indian Ocean to this
rich market of the Orient.
For about century, the Portu-
guese had nearly everything their
own way in regard to trade with
India. They obtained spices, cotton
cloth, silk and jewels from India in
exchange for goods they took there.
Soon after the Mighty Akbar's
death, Dutch and British traders
tried to obtain their share of India
commerce. Looking back, we find
a letter sent to the East India COM
pany in Great Britain by traders
who were staying in India. They
wrote, in 1889, that the great Mogul
ruling at that time would give them
new rights If they would make him
presents of large looking glasses,
English mastiffs, a pair of gloves,
and good buff coat" They also
felt sure that painting of the
British King would help their cause.
Step by step, the British won more
and more of India's trade. Colonies
OF sort were started along the
coast. The most important of the
early colonies was around Calcutta.
BY 1895 it covered Bengal and a
large area to the west. In that year,
tho British also had four stretches

I'VE cannot see any way of reaching

The answer is that this is one of
those many hands which make
bridge the fascinating game 1t is.
There is no scientific way OF arriving
at the slam, and we feel that prac-
tlcally all expert pairs would stop
at a five-club contract. However.
we also know certain gambling play
ers who might have leaped to six
for no real reason whatsoever and
have been rewarded by making a
