ALLIES HAVE ABUNDANCE
OF CREDITS AVAILABLE

Although British and French COM
missions are now settled in New York
offices, just how much buying they
will do is yet to be determined, ac-
cording to the magazine Steel. How
ever, credits ranging up to $7,OOO,OOO-
600 are known to be available if nee
essary.
There is no indication, the maya
zine continues, that large purchases
of basic materials will be made i'm
mediately from the outset, the war
has been regarded as an economic
struggle and both commissions are
expected to be extremely judicious
in their purchasing. It is no secret
that the British, especially, will de-
pend upon the Empire for supplies to
the full extent of its resources.
Purchases outside the Empire will
involve products not available or
which cannot be had for sufficiently
early delivery. France does not have
as rich an empire and, comparatively
speaking, probably will buy more than
England. AS an example, France
placed huge tonnage of copper,
largely with American-owned COM
panies, while Britain bought from her
empire.
One of the first acts of the Brit
ish commission in the United States
was to place a $24,O0O,000 order for
airplanes last week with an Amer
lean plan builder.
It is not yet clearly indicated wheth-
er the group of buyers coming over
will include steel experts. In fact,
according to reports, major steel pur-
chases will be made in London. These
reports were substantiated in a meas
ure by the purchase last week of $780,
90 to 100000 tons of iron and steel
scrap through the British Iron and
Steel Federation in London.
According to reports in the trade,
France has placed a moderate tonnage
of high grade steels for early deliv-
cry. France does not appear as large
prospective purchaser of steel as such,
but more so in the form of manufac-
tured products. More than anything
else France probably requires coke
and large tonnages have been bought
here. Like the belligerent trading
of world war days, France and Ger
many are reported exchanging ore and
coke via Belgium.
Both England and France have pur-
chased large amount of equipment
here. In fact, these purchases have
eclipsed well-publicized Russian orders
for many months.

81 Ships Reported Sunk
Since Start Of War

By the Associated Press.
Sinking of two more neutral YES
sells has brought to 81 the number
of ships reported sunk since the be-
ginning of the European war.
The gross tonnage destroyed, ex-
elusive of cargo, mounted to 256,296.
256,296.
The Hoegh Transporter, 4,914-ton
Norwegian vessel, was reported to
have sunk Tuesday after hitting a
mine at the entrance to Singa-
pore Harbor. All aboard were res
cued by a British patrol boat. Nine
crew members were injured.
The Greek steamer Diamantis,
1890 tons, was reported sunk Tues
day by German submarine off the
coast of Ireland.
The losses to date, by nationali-
ties: Great Britain, 80; Germany,
8; Norway, S; Sweden, 4; Finland,
3; Greece, 2: France, 2: Holland,
2: Denmark, /; Russia, l, and Bel
gium, l.
In addition to the two neutral
ships, an unidentified German ves-
sci was reported to have struck 4
mine near the Island Of Borkum In
the North Sea, but this was not con-
flrmed. A Stockholm newspaper
said yesterday it understood the
ship was loaded with iron from

On the German front, reports in
dicated, French military leaders were
strengthening their lines In the hilly
Saar and Palatinate sectors to meet
the threat Of possible German as

While q general star communique
this morning reported only Inter
mittent artillery actions at different
points on the 'front.'" dispatches
from Luxembourg said capture of
the Borg Forest had been marked
by close-range combat between
French and German tanks.
These new gains. it was said,
placed the French in better position
to resist any Nazi attempt to out
flank the Maginot defenses by ad-
vancing through Luxemburg-a pos
sibility that French military men
apparently were not ready to dismiss
lightly.

most urgent question confronting

While the trade ministry issue is
the fuse which ignited the foreign
ofi1ce powder barrel, there Is more
behind the issue than that. From
the moment Of his accession to the
ministership the sailor diplomat, Mo-
mura, evidenced his desire to re-
shuttle his subordinates with a view
to installing men of liberal tenden-
cies In key posts. The purge natu-
rally was opposed by reactionary
elem onts. 1t is weird paradox that
the strongholds of liberalism in the
present cabinet are two men from
the lighting services, Premier Gen.
Nobuyuki Abe and Nomura-an-
other, Gen. Ugaki, wields immense
influence for moderation behind the
scenes.
American Policy Criticized.
The tendency of the present gov
ernment to curry American favor Is
severely criticized by reactionary
observers. This view is pretty well
summed UP by today's nationalistic
newspaper Kokumin in these words:
"The government should explain
to the United States that while
Japan will not wantonly drive out
American rights and interests from
China, Japan under no circum-
stances will retreat from the con-
tinent.'

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

Neither Paris nor London expect
any substantial basis for negotia-
tions from Hitler's speech tomor-
row before the Reichstag. The,
Fuehrer, since he has definitely
cinched the U. S. S. F., is showing
er-conf1dence in the ability of the
axis to defeat the democratic states.
He Is expected to reiterate his peace
offerings on the basis that Britain
and France, who have shown them
selves unable to give effective as
sistance to their principal ally in
Eastern Europe, keep out of the East
altogether.
Upon such definite remuneration
the Fuehrer is prepared to talk per-
manent peace based on the redis-
tribution Of raw materialS-that is
to say, the settlement of the colo
NAL question-and an eventual gen.
eral disarmament as conceived by
the German general staff on the
basis of the new commitments of
Germany.
Hitler himself is said to have but
scant expectations that his armored
olive branch will be accepted. For
this reason he has intensified the
concentration of a huge air force
behind the Seigfried line and has
gathered the best that Germany has
in efiiectives and motorized units
somewhere between the North Sea
and the Swiss border. Military OBJ
servers ventured to guess that the
German strategists will decide to
attack France at her apparently
most invulnerable point in the belief
that there will be fewer troops gath
cred there to meet the German on
slaught. OF course this is pure guess
work, since nobody can say what the
German armies are going to do In
the next few weeks. Large scale air
operations might be handicapped by
the uncertain weather which. is likely
to prevail on the western front from
now on.

nations have been doing the barter.
ing. There is lots of difference be-
tween barter and cash on the bar
relhead, not unaffected by the fact
that several South American coun-
tries produce principally the same
things that we produce here"
Land Is Skeptical.
1t was on this same general sub
ject Of trade between the North and
South American continents that the
chairman. disclosed his skepticism
about the neutrality zone proposed
in the recent Pan-American Con-
ference. Asked If he believed there
was any possibility Of German ships
now sheltering in South American
ports entering trade with North
America, the chairman replied:
1T sounds like a pretty hazardous
busines Sto me. This neutral zone
(within which German ships might
concelvably travel in safety to the
United States from South America)
is nice idea, but what are we going
to do If somebody sticks their nose
into it to sink a few ships?"
The chairman said the commits
sion still believed there was an acute
need for war risk insurance author
ity for the commission. A bill to
provide this power to underwrite
war risks already is pending in Con-
gress and Chairman Land predicted
that a recommendation will be made
to the legislative branch to enact
the measure. He would not say,
however, that such recommended
ton would come during the special
session.
With the commission still carry
ing on its ship building program,
the chairman indicated it is very
much up to Congress and its even
tual decision on neutrality legisla-
ton as to how American merchant
tonnage is to be used. The pend
ing Pittman bill would authorize the
President to define combat zones
from which American shipping
would be excluded. If this is done
and If South American trade does
not expand considerably, there is no
obvious sphere for use of increased
American merchant tonnage.
