A ships mast and cargo boom
II technically referred to as a der

in the air at the end of a rope.
The name and meaning has been
handed down from 1900, when the
meaning was first associated with
famous British hangman named
Derrick.
The davits employed to handle
weighty lifeboats, gsngways, etc.
take their name from David Of
Biblical reknown. who was a little
Teller able tc handle big fellers.
Frequently cargo vessels have
stumpy masts set in pairs to which
cargo booms are rugged, instead of
conventional masts. Such stout
masts are known as king posts or
Sampson posts, with an obvious
origin.
Hurricanes have been so called
ever since sailors discovered the
New World, and learned thereupon
that the Carib Indians called their
god of winds Hurican. The name
Is now applied primarily to the
raging storms at sea which are

Britain Suspends
Fruit Imports as
War Time Measure

WASHINGTON. March Is. UP
The British embassy announced
today that Great Britain Is sus-
pending for an indefinite PERIOD
imports of American canned and
bottled fruits as a war measure 10
conserve dollar exchange and ship
ping space.
The announcement of this lnten-
ton. coming after a similar British
ban on American tobacco purchases.
brought caustic criticism from con-
gressional leaders Sen. Gerald P.
Nye. R. n. D. characterized the
action as probably an attempt TO
punish the United States for not
more actively supporting the Allied
side in the war.
Secretary of State COrdell Hull.
who received a copy of the British
announcement declined TO comment
unit! he had made a close study OF
its implications. He did say that
this government is carrying on con-
tinuous conversations with the Brit
ish and French governments in an
attempt TO safeguard American in

Imperial Valley press., 1940-03-15

Welles was told plainly when he
was in London, it was understood.
that the Allies would reject any
attempt to make peace now. British
leaders made it clear to him that
they would consider peace only
when Germany withdrew from
Czechoslovakia and Poland and gave
solid guarantees against further
aggression.
Despite this, it was feared here
that during Welles' second visit TO
Rome. where he arrives late today
on his way home, there might be
the first move in an attempt to
draw President Roosevelt into a
peace drive. There was widespread
belief that during his recent visit
to Rome German Foreign Minister
Joachim Won Ribbentrop conveyed
some kind of information to Pre-
mier Benito Mussolini calculated to
encourage the president to mediate.
Sources Which usually have access
to reliable information think that
if peace could be arranged now the
president would retire at the end
of his term but that if the war went
on he would seek a third term.
These sources were convinced that
information regarding the preSi-
dents intentions had been convey
