U. S. DESTROYER STRENGTH

The situation has led to the question now being gravely dis cussed in the State, War and Navy Departments, whether the United States would be serving it's own best interests by selling 50 to 100 of it's World War de- stroyers to Great Britain.
 The United States now has more destroyers than any other two navies put together-a total of 238. Of these, 123 were built during or immediately after the World War, but have been kept in excellent condition Their -en- zines have been packed in grease, and every two or three years half of them were placed on sea duty, while the other half were laid up. Thus they continue to be valuable fighting ships today.
 Inside the Navy Department, many of the higher-ups believe if would be wise policy for the Unit ed States to let Great Britain have 50 or 100 of these old de stroyers. They look at it not from

BRITISH WAITED

The situation, in the opinion of both Army and Navy strategistS, is not dissimilar from the posi- tion of the British in regard tC France. As long as Hitler was faced with a strong French army Britain stood in no real danger But once the Nazis broke thru the MaginOt Line, there was nc bulwark to stop them from over running the rest of Europe. .. ...
 The situation has other pos sible points of similarity. When the French were defending the Maginot Line, the British, wor- ried over home defense kept most of their airplanes at home. The French claim that, given more British air support, they might have held out.
 LIhG w loC OllS S(llOOl LII L1IIlOIl T. can strategy believes, as did the British, that U. s. destrOyerS should be kept at home to pro- tect the Western Hemisphere when Hitler finally breaks thru the British marine Maginot Line. But the majority of higher-up strategists figure that by that time it will be too late.
 Meanwhile, however, there is no way for the President to transfer these destroyers, unless Congress passes an act giving him that power. And the islation ists clique in Congress shows nc disposition to permit that - at least until after a tremendous fight. And by that time Hitler may be marching up Piccadilly and preparing to turn his active attention to U. s. shores.
The Nome nugget., 1940-08-16
U. S. MAGINOT LINE

For if you study naval strategy you will see how carefully the British Navy has picked its bases and how true was that famous boast Britannia Rules the Way es." What the British did, years ago, was to secure all the outlets into the Atlantic. From Cape town at the tip end of Africa to Gibraltar at the mouth of the Mediterranean, they can control the coast of France, Belgium and Holland, and can dominate the North Sea and the mouth of the Baltic.
 In other words, the British Isles constitute a sort of marine Maginot Line and U. s. naval strategists figure that once that line is broken it will be impos- sible to stop an unfrlendly fleet from steaming down into the waters of South America and the Caribbean.
 Thus, it would be far easier, and cheaper, to bolster the Brit ish with some destroyers and keep the German-Italian navies bottled up, than face them along the thousands of miles of unfort flied South American coast line.

The Washington Merry-Co-Round
By Drew Pearson and Robert s. Allen


 WASHTNGTON-The most i'm portant question discussed in side the Administration today IS whether the British can hold out, and what the United States can do to bolster English resistance. IL is question that weighs heaV- fly and grimly on the hard-boiled realists in the Army, Navy and State Department, and on the President himself.
 For, giving the British all the breaks possible, it seems incred- ible that they can hold out against poison gas, intensive air bombardment, and all the other modern mechanics of war the Nazis are mobilizing to hurl ag ainSt them.
 This pessimistic forecast is talk en despite the fact that the Brit iSh position has improved mater ially. The confidential surveys made by U. s. observers show that the German preponderance in the air is now only II to 5 in fighter planes, although it re- mains 12 to l in carrying power in bombers. The British naturally have concentrated more on fight CT planes in order to ward off bornbers, and until recently have had fewer bombers to attack Ger many.
 Official reports also show a great superiority on the part o1 British pilots, and dogged, un- daunted courage. Nevertheless, the comparative air strength is still overwhelmingly in Hitler's favor.
 However, 1t is at sea that the British have suffered most severe iy. The censored press cables have revealed only fragments of the terrific punishment taken by British merchant vessels, and also by their destroyer conveys
 Tn fact. the outcome of the Bat tie of Britain may depend large ly upon destroyers. For it is this type of vessel which has been eX posed to air bombardment and submarines more than any other part of the British Navy. In re- cent weeks the toll has been so heavy that an average of one de- stroyer a day has been either sunk or damaged. The damaging of a vessel is just as effective for the time being as sinking it, be- cause it has to be laid up in drydock.
 How serious have been British losses is shown by the fact that it's Navy started the war with l33 destroyers and now has few CT than 100. All of which indicat es the rapid success of the new Nazi strategy of starving Britain out.
