SHOWDOWN NEAR ON REAL AID TO BRITAIN
Lack of Convoy Vessels EngIonds Amor

The time when the Government and
the people of the United States will have
to make up their minds regarding an
active participation in the present world
conflict is approaching rapidly.
Britain, according to the admission of
its own leaders, is breathing heavily
Judged from the outside and in the
light of the recent successes Of the
British armed forces in Greece, in Egypt
and in the isles themselves, the British
are doing remarkably we'll The morale
OF the civilians Is holding out and has
been bolstered up by the victories in
Egypt and in the Adriatic But the
chief weakness in the British armor is
the lack of warships and merchantmen,
and that is more serious than most out
siders imagine.
The damage caused by the German
pocket submarines is more than serious.
According to the latest reports, they
have sunk in recent weeks no less than
l43,OOO tons OF British shipping a week.
Whether this figure includes the losses
of the royal navy is not clear. There
are no requirements available. Even If
the United States were to confiScate the
ships of the nations under the German
tutelage, suggestion which has brought
forth an explosion in Berlin, it would
be just drop in the bucket. Certain
footstuffs have been further restricted in
Great Britain more drastic restrictions
are pending. But the British are good
citizens and are willing to tighten their
belts and submit to any emergency
measures the government may order.
What is more alarming than the lack
OF an adequate food supply is the in
creasing shortage of materials for the
British arms factories. For the time
being, the supplies existing in the isles
are sufficient for the present tempo of
production, But If increase of this be-
came necessary, the lack of materials
would be felt badly, Furthermore, the
deficiency in warships and merchantmen
will seriously affect the transfer of raw
materials and manufacturers products
from the outside world at this time when.
for instance, American factories will be-
gin to produce adequately for the British
Army and Air Force
Navy Personnel Also Short.
What is more disturbing is the fact
that the British Navy has had serious
losses, not only in materiel but in per-
sonnel as well.
If the Navy Department were to Ger
tify another so destroyers as obsolete
for the use of the United States Navy, 1t
is doubtful whether the British Navy
could take them over at the present
time because Of the lack of adequate
crews. According to reliable reports
there are today two former American
destroyers at Halifax which have not
yet been taken to England for convoy
duty because the necessary crews are
not available. This does not mean that
Britain has lost her grip as the Queen
of the Seas. But the British Admiralty

premacy In the Mediterranean and keeps

visit to the United States. Lord Lothian
knew his own strength on the public
platform and in small informal gather
ings with influential people.
Lord Halifax, from all accounts, knows
the uses of diplomatic protocol and cour-
tesies. For the past two years, as For.
eign Secretary he has been in constant
touch with the American situation as it
affects the British Empire.
And one of his earlier handicaps, the
popular conception of him as an aristo-
cratic "appeaser," may become an ulti-
mate advantage if he can persuade those
in this country who favor an early "nego-
tiated peace" that he too once held that
view and discarded it when he was con-
vinced that only an outright British VIC
tory with the overthrow of Hitlerism
could bring lasting peace.

Behind the Lines

Not uninportant in this world war of
today has been power of spoken and
written word And by no means least
powerful of those employing this medium
has been Britain's ubiquitous Churchill
On Monday he made bold bid for Ital-
ian revolt against rule of II Duce. In
carefully written speech that was broad
cast in italian before it was delivered by
statesman himself in English, Prime
Minister of empire castigated Mussolinl
as "one man and one man alone (who)
has ranged the Italian people in deadly
struggle against the British Empire and
has deprived Italy of the sympathy and
intimacy of the United States of America.
He has led your country to the
horrid verge of ruin.
1T is all one man who, against the
crown and royal family of Italy, against
the Pope and all the authority of the
Vatican and of the Roman Catholic
Church, against the wishes Of the italian
people. who had no lust for this war. has
arrayed the trustees and inheritors of
ancient Rome upon the side of the fero-
cious pagan barbarians'
Unless the Italian people see fit to
repudiate this leadership, the Briton
continued, "our armies
ChurchII's will tear your
Warning African empire to shreds
and tatters."
To such 'slanderous propaganda"
Fascism replied quickly that it would
continue the war on all fronts until

Lima and Buenos Aires

Under the auspices Of the Touring and
Auto Club Of Peru, an automobile race
against time took place recently, when a

Buenos Aires 96 hours later, four hours
ahead of the schedule the driver, Emilio
Karstulovic of Chile, had set himself for

most part the southeastern section OF

And on Friday night, German flyers
returned to their feast on skeleton of
London, hurting tons of incendiary ex-
plosives into courageous heart of this
sprawling city.
At sea, Britains losses continued at
pace to cause grave concern-sinkinss
approximating 100000 tons monthly.
For third time in 10 days, Nazi sub.
marine on Thursday torpedoed re-
frigerated ship loaded with

$4,000 tons, completed only last year in
Belfast. Costly to build and vital to
island kingdom that is dependent upon
food imports, companion victims of Waio-
tira were Napier Star and Orari.
On Tuesday, Berlin had claimed sink
ing off Britain's east coast of 10000 ton
tanker and 6,000-ton freighter. Sunk
off Africa was Panama tanker with
American crew, two of whom were lost.
Less important individually but con-
tributing alarmingly to mounting toll
were numerous small freighters. To off,
set this bleeding of Britain's arteries at

wishfully last week of acquiring nearly

of American effort is to be expected to
begin to mature not next spring, but in
late summer and reaching its peak all
through next winter and the spring of
1912. People should not think there is
going to be a flood Of armaments from
America next year"
Meanwhile, Britain must not only hold
on but must make arrangements to draw
on every ounce of her own national and
imperial strength. She must decide
clearly upon the strategy to be pursued.
At the present time she is employing
two weapons against Germany. There is
the blockade. This cannot be completely
effective while essential commodities can
still seep through to Germany by way
of the Spanish and Russian frontiers.
Liberal concessions in lubricating oil
are more likely to keep Gen. Frances
relations with Germany smooth than to
soften his attitude toward Britain.
Again, if the factories of the Soviet
we're the sole benefciaries Of the 10000
bales of cotton which have been shipped
since October from the United States to
Vladivostok and which exceed the total
for the peak year 1934-35, no exception
could be taken to so remarkable an i'm
provement in normal intercourse and
trade When it is learned, however, that
Russia is dispatching to Germany 100000
bales of cotton month, then the sig
nificance of Jhese transactions must be
viewed in another light.
Indeed, it should be incumbent on the
two democracies in the new year, IN
order that their central purpose-the
defeat of Hitlerisn-lnay be accom-
plished, to remove that strange contra
diction which at present is to be OBJ
served between their industrial and
commercial policies. At time when
they have accepted the necessity to con-
centrate their resources on the produc-
ton of armaments and for this purpose
to divert manufacturing capacity to the
maximum possible extent from non
essential to essential output, they are
allowing engagements to be made where
by Germany's associates are provided
with war materials
Although Matsuoka, Japan's Foreign
Minister, has recently reaf1rmed that the
policy of his country will revolve around
the three-power pact, zinc is being
shipped from America to Japan with the
result that plants engaged in making
munitions for Britain have had to cur
tail production. In 1941 there should be
no compromise with the powers OF ag-
gression and dictatorship.
More Bombing of Berlin.
The other weapon being employed
| against Germany is the bomber force,
which is engaged by night on the task
of dislocating German production, trans
port and communications In this
sphere it has been claimed that SO times
more damage has been done by Britain
to the enemy than the enemy has done
to Britain. This would seem an opti-
mistic generalization in the absence Of
any standard measurement.

of all the conquered states has been much
more thorough than is generally known.
The governments in exile can hardly

did, they would have to play the totali-
tartan game.
Industries Taken Over.
France offers today a clear picture Of
how the German economic penetration

100000 at the present unoficial rate Of
exchange) a day for the upkeep of the

that the actual cost does not exceed
more than 1oo.oo0,oo0 francs a day. The
balance Is being used by German citizens
or industrial concerns to purchase shares
and stocks in leading French enterprises.
tions because the price paid is based
on the value of the stocks on May 8,
1910. Thus the control of some Of the
most important French industries has
passed legally into the hands of the Ger
mans.
Thus it has become clear to the White
House and other Government agencies
in Washington that a peace based on
the pre-19l4 boundaries Of Europe Is
nothing but camouf1aged conquest of
Europe and, in effect, nothing but an
armistice intended to put an end to
the present conflict in order to give
Germany the necessary time to Jump
somewhere else after she has put the
European house in order-after the Nazi
fashion.
For the time being, peace rumors are
being described as coming out of thin
air. Nevertheless, they are not being
ignored altogether because there have
been more than one hint from important
quarters in England that unless the lines
OF communication between the outside
world and Britain are secured, the
chances Of Britain's continuing this war
successfully will necessarily be greatly
diminished.
There Is growing belief in official
quarters that unless Great Britain can
have at her disposal substantial num-
ber of warships fully manned to pro-
tect her conveys and adequate ship
yards sheltered from the daily air at
tacks of the German Stukas, where she
can build rapidly the much-needed mer-
chantmen, her position will become in

There can be no doubt that man for
man, plane for plane, greater success has
been achieved by the R. A. F. than by
the Luftwaffe, but the task confronting
the r. A. F. by reason of distance alone
is more arduous and more widespread.
A British bomber attacking the German
capital has a Journey six times as long
as a Nazi bomber crossing the English
Channel with London as target. Fur
ther, Germany retains her superiority
in numbers.
It must be the goal of 1941 to remedy
this disparity. Nothing, however, has so
far occurred in this war which would
support any assumption that air power
alone could bring about the subjugation
of the enemy. If not to strike knock
out blow, at any rate to consolidate
the victory, an army is essential.
The army being prepared by Britain
should not only be numerically adequate
to meet the calls that may be made on
1t in the course OF operations, but must
be technically superior. Armored divi.
sions must now be regarded as the back
bone of the whole structure. Whatever
its creation and equipment may in
volve in mechanical skill and manu-
featuring capacity should be unstintingly
provided. This involves revolution
in British military thought.
German Forces Spread.
In measuring the potential strength Of
the two opposing forces, due weight must
be given to the necessity under which
Germany labors, having simultaneously
to police and supervise all the territories
she has occupied. Furthermore, Nazi
troops must be ever on the watch along
the whole coastline from North Cape
to the Pyrenees against surprise at
tack by Britain. This precaution Is
reported to require no less than 80
German divisions.
Thus, with Britain lies the strategical
advantage of being able to choose at
the opportune time, over this extended
area, the place or places where she can
bring local superiority to bear.
The exploitation of such opportunities,
involving much daring and effective
use of seapower, is better attuned to
British resources and spirit than the
more sedentary type of warfare which
prevailed In France until the spring of
this year The achievement in the
western desert of Egypt augurs well for
the success with which the British
Army is likely to avail itself of any
opening.
During 1941 there is another weapon
which Britain can bring into effective
use. The Germans secured all their
victories in the north and west before
armies began to march. Everywhere
their fifth column was the advance
guard of their triumphs. The democ-
racies are better favored. They do not
have to create their fifth columns.
Europe is teeming with their sup
porters. Can Britain not profit more
fully by this realization? In 194l she
must organize her friends In enemy

LONDON.--What are the prospects
before Britain on the threshold of
1e41? Bereft of her powerful ally,
France. she has undoubtedly sterner
task than envisaged u months ago;
almost insuperable, it seemed, when at
the crucial moment Italy threw in her
lot with Germany.
Unexpectedly, however, the outlook
was altered when Greece with spirited
defiance wrested the initiative from the
enemy and by keeping him engaged in
Albania facilitated Gen. Wavell's on
slaught on the Libyan front. So sue
cessful have these Complementary oper-
atoms been that only intensifcation OF
the present effort seems requisite to snap
off the more brittle end of the axis.
Until this has been achieved. Britain
will be unable to concentrate against
her principal opponent. She will be
obliged to retain a considerable army and
air force in Northern Africa, and keep

Change In U. s. Outlook.

q far more formidable undertaking.
Almost the whole of Europe is now or
ganized to turn out ships, airplanes and
munitions with the single object Of de-
feating Britain. From her own internal
resources, the United Kingdom can
hardly expect to produce as much as the
continent. Fortunately--and this is the
most encouraging sign for the coming
year--a radical change has come over
the American outlook.
Not many months ago the people OF
the United States were detached OBJ
servers of the struggle and their pre-
dominant reaction was TO keep out of it
at all costs. The prevailing sentiment to-
day is that democratic victory must be
assured, ana 10 CEllS emu ILL CIle ulOuSlA Aai
strength of the great republic is being
modified.
A measure of the overwhelming power
of the manufacturing capacity that will
progressively be brought to bear on the
side of Britain is steel output In Octo-
ber it reached the highest level ever
recorded-6a million tons, substantially
In excess of the peacetime capacity Of
the whole of continental Europe. There
can be no doubt whatever of the ultimate
result, but it is only salutary and prudent
for both Britain and the United States
to realize that capacity is not synonymous
with deliveries.
On this point Sir Walter Layton, with
first-hand knowledge derived from close
contact with supply problems both In
this war and the last, has emphasized
that miracles must not be expected.
"It is clear" he says, that the weight
