Drifting Mines Take Big Toll Of Ships in Twelfth Week Of War

from London for Christmas holidays,
that Ambassador Davies was coming
home from Brussels for discussions on
Belgian trade pact; that Ambassador
Biddle, once of Warsaw, was coming
home for consultation; that Ambassador
Bullitt may drop over from Paris.
Observers realized that Mr.. Roosevelt
would be preparing opening message to
new session Of Congress, converting jan
uary 8, about time of envoys arrivals
here, that message undoubtedly will con-
tain important declarations on defense
and foreign policy, that Chief Executive
always has maintained close contact with
foreign staff when shaping international
policies.
That his announcements will be scru-
tinized closely for possible political ma
terial in 1910 was made clear by Repub-
lican Presidential Candidate Taft of
Ohio, who told party leaders few days
ago that European war definitely will be
one of issues of next fall.
Closely tied up in wartime policies of
this Government are its fiscal needs to
be included in next budget
With defense programs almost certain
to reach s2,00O,0000OO total-despite

ton would continue deficit financing,
boost Federal debt to statutory limit of
s45 900 100000. In effort to prevent this,
budget estimates for non-defense items
are being examined closely, presumably
being slashed in many instances.
At same time, Treasury has let it be
known that it contemplates no new tax
program if improved business brings ex-
pected increase in revenues. But on
Friday, at Warm Springs, President
Roosevelt hinted special tax might be
imposed to provide for increased ex-
pense expenditures.
Encouraging to allies was decision of
Argentine government to confine imports
for duration of war almost wholly to
British-French products-tangible result
Of allied decision to organize their pur-
chasing under single economic control.
At same time, however, decision was
disturbing to American efforts to nego-
tiate trade pact with second largest ma
ton of Southern continent, always
proudly reluctant to forgive our ban on
Argentine beef Likewise upset are our
trade pact relationships with British
Empire.
With reciprocal trade treaty law ex-
piring next year and opposition already
on record with intent to fight its re-
newal, State Department spokesmen
made equally clear in past week their
determination to battle for extension

Undramatic but smart in the consen-

War Secretary Leslie Hore -Belisha after

with officers, but with some of the rest

said, is excellent-with just enough
"grousing" to make them seem like
typical soldiers.

At same time it was learned that Italy

Despite this flow of scrap, American

War in.Air

AIT ITdlIlC was HeaVy over europe last
week.
Generous in their claims of successes,
French ard British reported at least
score of Nazi flyers brought down in
isolated engagements.
Specifically French claimed to have
machine-gunned II Germans out of skies
in three-day span; three on Tuesday,
six ons Wednesday, two on Thursday. As
always, French air ministry credited
American ships with superior per-
formances under fire.
For their part, British reported down.

But Berlin made its share of claims.
reporting unusually valuable recon-
noitering results from flights over
France and Britain"
That Nazi flyers have penetrated deep
into France, in fact over Paris itself,
and over London, was
Germons Fly cknowl edged on
Over CopitoIs both sides. Such
penetrations, plus the
possibility of Nazi planes being success
full in the mine-dropping venture, elimi-
nate any grounds for smugness on part
OF allied air forces.
Whether Germans had any intention
OF dropping bombs or were simply on
scouting trips was not determined in
flights over London and Paris. That
over British capital occurred on Monday
when a single plane flew over eastern
outskirts of city. British fighters and
anti-aircraft guns drove enemy off while
street crowds watched. Later, three
Nazi flyers, believed crew of raider, were
rescued at sea. On same day, Germans
appeared over Britain's east coast.
Parisians had their show on Thurs
day, when trio of Nazi flyers appeared.
Heavy anti-aircraft firing drove them
away.
Still picking away at British bases
north of Scotland, German raiders
bombed Shetland Islands again on We'd
nesday. Unsuccessful in thrusts at
naval vessels, Nazis destroyed Royal Air
Force seaplane moored in harbor. An
other raider zoomed over Orkneys.
British also lost bombing plane when
it ran into Londons balloon barrage,
spectacular, but heretofore questionably
effective defensive device consisting of
circle of "sausages" moored by heavy
cables around city borders.
Stubbornly determined that Dutch
skies should not become heavily travelled

Dutch Down ligerents, Dutch
Germon Plane anti-aircraft battery
brought Nazi plane
crashing down while passing over Roer-
mond. German pilot was killed when
ship cracked up. On two other occa-
sions Dutch fired on German planes.
Belgians likewise have protested by
words and by bullets occasional appear
ances of belligerent aircraft.
For first time since early days of war,
British planes appeared over German
naval base at Wilhelmshaven, but no
bombs were dropped. London claimed
successful photographing operations.
With Britain counting heavily upon
Canada as training ground for young
pilots, jumping-off place for new ships
built on this continent, interesting re-
ports came out of Maine and North
Dakota: that airports are to be built
or improved along Canadian border
from where United States-built ships
may be rolled across line with no viola
ton of neutrality law restriction against
flying American craft to belligerents.
