BRITAIN:
Feels Heavy BlotUs

The war has become more bitter
for England, with Germany heavily
increasing aerial attacks on cities,
raining bombs on London and indus
trial centers like Coventry.
British, ever frank in admitting
losses, reported Coventry in ruins,
thousands slain and wounded. Lon
don damage was said to be ter
rife.
Losses at sea are staggering, and
raider on the loose in mid-Atlan-
tic smashed into at least one large
convoy. Germans first announced
entire convoy sunk, along with
Rangitiki, armored merchantmen,
and Jervis Bay, an auxiliary cruis-
er, which were protecting other
ships.
Apparently this claim was made
when numbers of SOS signals were
heard and then news of convoy sud-
denly ceased. But British finally
came through with the news that
of 80 ships, 9 were missing, and
later two of them showed up.
Naval hero was the commander
of the Jervis Bay which boldly
steamed to meet her stronger ene-
my, forcing raiders fire on herself,
and permitting convoy to scatter.
Scandinavian skipper in convoy
was so stirred by such bravery that
he refused to flee to any great dis
lance, returned to scene hours lat

Foreign lettings

Four Nazi vessels, heavily load
ed, sailed from Tampico, Mexico,
for European ports. Only one was
heard from. She was the Phrygia,
which committed suicide" by scut-
ting rather than surrender to Brit
ish and Canadian war vessels. She
was hardly outside Tampico when
caught. The other three were said
to have headed back and to be lurk-
ing outside the harbor bar.
The Faroes islands have quit Den
mark and have founded their own
republic. News of this action was
not carried on any wires or cables.
1t was learned when 10 young sea-
men from the islands arrived in
New York with their three-masted
schooner. 1t has its own flag, first
seen on this ship, a red cross bor-
dered in blue on a white back
ground. Her cargo, 100 tons of cod
liver oil.
Two Swiss citizens and seven for
eigners were sentenced to life terms,
a Bern dispatch stated, for COM
hitting sabotage on Swiss planes.

er, and had pleasure of picking up
IS survivors, many wounded.
Jervis Bay went to the bottom of
the ocean with her gallant COM
mander, who had one arm shot
away during the engagement.
Over England, German bombers
are using new technique, making
more difficult still the task of anti
aircraft fire and the work of fight
ers. They fly over the country in
waves, travelling single file, which
Indians discovered centuries ago
was good defensive formation.
First raider drops its bombs, and
succeeding ships get view of scene
below in the glare of the first ex-
plosions and see better when and
where to let go. Flying is done at
10000 to $4,000 feet.
In many cases, however, British
report bombing is done on time
tables" when there are cloud forma-
tons, the bombers flying certain
mathematical distances from flying
fields and then letting their cargoes
60 without any aim whatever.
That Britain is generally feeling
the pinch was seen by reports of
further restrictions in rationing.
However, nothing as drastic was re-
ported as the apparently authentic
dispatch from Berlin that dog meat
was made legal human fodder.

AMERICAN SCENE:
In Brief

q The United States has freed cred
it's for Martinique, French posses
sion in the Indies, and will allow
the purchase of $4,000, mostly in
foodstuffs. The move is the first in
a series by the U. S. to create a
better relationship, - to insure
against the Nazis getting hold of U.
S.-built planes on the beach there.
q Signs of differences of opinion in
high circles on national defense
were noted. There was a continu-
ance of the controversy over the
Garand VS.. the Johnson automatic
rifle. Knudsen said he thought the
auto industry might throw itself into
plane manufacture with speed and
efficiency. Some leading auto men
joined plane makers in disagreeing
with him sharply.
q British moves to get extension of
U. S. credit for war purchases
were started in this country, with
every evidence that the effort will
meet with the approval of the adj
miniStration.
G. The duke of Windsor, in first of
IA interviews with Adela Rogers st.
John, purporting to tell the story of
his abdication and his love for the
duchess, blames President Wilson
for the present war, saying that a
ruler of country cannot compete
with foreign diplomats. Wilson, he
said, should not have attended the
making of the Versailles pact.
q A pet seal on the Bound Brook,
N. j., estate of Doris Duke Crorn-
well climbed a four-foot fence, slid
down a pool spillway into brook
and thence swan to the Raritan riv-
er. He was lured back home with a
fsh-baited trap. The seal was little
the worse for his experience, save
that some hunter had peppered his
head with birdshot.-
q Paul Robson, Negro singer, sued
a Los Angeles cafe for refusing to
serve him. There were four Ne
groes and four whites in his party.
The restaurant, in its answer to the
suit, said the restaurant was "fuQ.

GRECO-ROMAN:
Round One to Greece

There seems little doubt any long
er that the Greek victory over Ital-
ian forces has been as nearly COM
plete as any action could be so
early in war. Fascist forces were
reported fleeing from Koritza, set
ting fire to their supplies in this,
the main base of the central attack.
Italian stories that only 362 men
were killed in the campaign hardly
gibe with eyewitness reports by
reputable correspondents of two
things-huge piles of bodies in the
mud of the Pindus mountain passes
huge concentration camps filed
with Italian prisoners of war who
are being widely quoted.
Their reports of Italian attitude
toward the war so encouraged Eng
land with the opportunity of deal

SABOTAGE:
And Mr.. Dies

Three explosions shattered pow.
der plants in one hour; crane fell
over in a shipyard; bridge fell
apart on the West coast; fire at
tackled other plants, and the cry of
sabotage" was raised in the land.
The Omen, private and public de-
tectives and Dies committee inves-
tigators have been running around
at full speed trying to make minia-
ture Black Toms out of each of
these, or trying just as hard to dis
prove that they had anything to do
with foreign agencies.
Mr.. Dies, however, asking mil
lion dollars of government money
for full probing of the situation,
said he was going to publish white
paper" giving names, addresses and
full details of all the foreign consul
lar agents, Russian, Japanese, Ger
man and Italian who are engaged
in subversive activities, and whom
he blames by implication for the
chain of occurrences of damage and
disaster to industry.
He recalls other events, like the
war department fire which nearly
destroyed the U. S. code books, and
promises that he'll follow the smoke
and find the fire.
Friends of the Dies committee
pointed to the logical character of
his hypothesis, that the Axis powers
and partners would be very glad if
disaster should overtake u. S. de-
tense preparations, seeing that Mr..
Roosevelt has promised Britain a
fifty-fifty share in the whole job.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1940-11-28

The British used 2,000-pound aeri-
al torpedoes in sinking the vessels
of the Italian fleet at laramie, they
reported. The planes fly low to the
water, drop the torpedoes pointing
at the ships. It's dangerous job.
Americans returning from occu-
pied France report bribery, gasoline
bootlegging and the existence of a
"black bourse" for dealing in for
eign exchange.
Standing in the ruins of Coventry's
famous cathedral, King George
heard Mayor Mosely say, 1--WE are
hit, but we never will be licked"
The role of Gen. Maxine Wey-
gand in French affairs was still a
mystery. Two theories, opposite in
implication, were in the news. One
was that he had gone to Africa, had
turned anti-Nazi, had been ordered
home and had refused. The other
was that he, along with Laval, was
one of the chief Nazi allies among
Frenchmen. That he was RESPONSE
BILE for the nation suing for an ar
mistice.

The American Federation of La
Dor quarrel with the c. I. 0. was
rapidly reaching its climactic stage
with the President of the United
States announcing that the achieving
of permanent labor peace as an
aid to the defense program would
be one of the first agenda of his
administrators third term.
William Green, collecting the spot
light as result of his championship
of the Roosevelt candidacy, immedi-
ately responded that he was willing
to make peace sans Lewis.
John L. Lewis was given a roar
ing demonstration as the c. 1. o. UNI
ionists gathered for their third an
nual convention in Atlantic City. At
the opening of the meeting he told
delegates he was stepping down" as
their leader and he urged new
unity" for the organization. Lewis
had declared he would resign if Pres
ident Roosevelt were reelected.
All commentators agreed, howev-
er, that labor peace would be a
very good thing if as and when it
could be achieved.

ing a crashing blow to Fascist mo-
rale that she sent big bomber squad
rons to laramie and smashed a
goodly part of Italy's fleet
Italy denied much damage except
to one ship, so British sent over
observation planes, took pictures,
and reported the details. Two cap
ital ships apparently permanently
put out of action, four other small
er ones.
Stories of the Greek successes
over the Italian forces further were
borne out by the tone of Italian
broadcasts and dispatches, telling of
Reorganization" of the Italian
drive; appointment of a new COM
mander; also the Greek reports of
attacks inside Albanian territory,
Credit for the Greek victory was
given to several factors: Greek
knowledge of the terrain; enterprise
of guerrilla bands; skill with the
bayonet, and surprise machine-gun
and artillery attacks on enemy col
umns in difficult mountain passes,
plus sudden onslaughts of bad
weather; also Premier John Metax-
as has been watching fellow-dictator
MusSolini for some time.
Add to this stories from prisoners
that they had no heart for the war
and had been promised a relatively
bloodless invasion, and one got
pretty good picture of the opening of
the Greco-Roman war.
There were no surface signs that
Italy was quitting, however, but
might be steaming ahead for a more
determined effort.

and probably is lot under the sur
face.
Out of it all has come to the public
eye only the broadest platitudinous
pledges:
Germany with her Italian axis
partner somewhat in the back
ground) promises various powers
that, if they are good, they will get
something.
Germany and Italy will rule Eu-
rope.
Russia will get expansion room
anywhere she wants as long as it
doesn't interfere with European stu
atoms. Diplomats took this to mean
at least part of India and also
perhaps Iran and portions of Tur-
key if she misbehaves.
japan will get the rest of Asia, at
least the southeastern part, and
Russia and Japan are urged to get
together at once about the rest of it.
In this country two diplomatic
names stood out. Kennedy and Bull
lit. The former was surrounded by
halo of rumorS that he would re-
sign following his "talk out of turn"
in Boston. While denying much that
was in the Globe interview, he con-
tinued to preach along about the
same general lines, emitting his ref
erences to the death of democracy
and the advent of national socialism
in the United States.
Bullitt was being as signally ru-
mored as Kennedy's successor. All
he would say was that he wanted to
resign to "speak and write" about
conditions, and that the President
had asked him to remain in public
life, and that he was considering
the matter.

DIPLOMATS:
Home and abroad

Diplomats, both domestic and for
eign, came into their own as far as
the spotlight was concerned.
In Berlin they buzzed about the
capital like flies; Molotoff, (for whom
bombs have been named) arriving
with 33 guards and associates; less
er lights from Italy and the Balkans
lowering about the outskirts of the
main Hitler-Molotoff talks, with even
sprinkling of japanese lurking
about where they wouldn't have to
rub elbows too closely with the shat
ed Russians"
1t was another case of the noun
tain laboring and bringing forth a
mouse-at least as far as the dis
patches went, though there may be,

Willis Thorntons Editorial On
We Need Tough PIiabIe Minds

The United States at this mo-
ment faces several situations in
which precedent is no guide. other
such situations are certain to de-
velop.
The past, except in the most
general way. is no guide. Countries
which have clurg to past prece-
dents have gone under.
We need every ounce of mental
rcsiliency we can summon to guide
our course through shoals that
loom up directly ahead.
For instance. The United States
has officially declared that it will
not tolerate transfer of New World
soil from one Old World country
to another. That is not new. It
goes back 100 years. But new tech
niques may be desirable in enforc-
ing it.
The United States does rot CO.
vet. for its own sake, any more
territory in the Western Hemisphere
or elsewhere French island or con-
tinental possessions VIC do not
want to annex Yet we will not
see them fall to Hitler or any other
Euroean power.
What to do?
When a colony's home govern
ment is destroyed or ceases to funC-
ton that colony becomes automati-
cally an independent country. The
French possession in the New
World are small and defenseless.
They could not maintain such an
independent status by their own
strength.
But to whose interest is it that
they be come independent rather
than fall into the hands of Europe
an conquerors? To that of all the
81 American republics! So why
should not all of those American
countries join in guaranteeing this
neW-found independence? 1t is true
that the major share in defending
such countries would probably fall
