THE WAR:
Flanders Flight

When King Leopold III ordered
his 100000 Belgian troops to lay
down their arms in their battle
against the military might of Adolf
Hitler, worried French and British
leaders saw that the forces they
had rushed into Belgium following
the German invasion were doomed.
For on the fields of Flanders their
armies were exposed to great en-
circling movement by the Nazis and
were in great danger of being cut
off from the main body of the troops
In central France.
Without waiting Adolf Hitler be-
gan to close the jaws of his gigantic
trap of death. Attacking with great
ferocity the German machine moved
toward the retreating allies. With.
out loss of impetus military objec-
tive after objective was gained in
tremendous show of force.
In the sky, dive bombers swooped
toward the earth, cutting off supply
details, disrupting communications,
destroying immense stores of war
goods but failing to seriously daunt
allied morale and courage.
Their lines in formation, the Brit
ish and French retreated steadily
toward the English channel. For they
were outnumbered and the country
they had come to protect from in
vasion had been ordered by its king
to cease fighting. Their best chance

GOOD NEICHBORS:
To the South

Not such a "good neighbor" is
what many Mexicans are thinking
these days of Leon Trotsky, exiled
Russian political leader, who has
taken UP a haven of refuge from
his Soviet enemies in Mexico's in
terror. The recent attempt to as
sassinate Trotsky has caused at
least few Mexican officials to be-
lieve that no good can come from
his remaining in their country and
they are anxious for him to move
on. Trotsly's home is constantly
guarded but despite this ''protec-
tion," Joseph Stalin's arch-rival is
not especially loved or admired by
some Of his "neighbors."
A neighbor further south has been
having bit of trouble with a little
uprising of its own. Reports from
Panama indicate that the govern
ment nipped an alleged plot for a
revolution which was scheduled to
prevent that country's 1910 presiden-
tial election.
An indication that U. S. business
was attempting to regain some of
its foreign trade lost by the Euro
pean conflict was evidenced by news
that the Moore-McC ormack lines
were opening a new shipping serv-
ice between North and South Amer
lea on both the Atlantic and Pacific
seaboards. In announcing the new
shipping routes and ships to be used
in the service the company's presi-
dent, Albert v. Moore, said: "The
surface of trade possibilities be-
tween the u. S. and South America
has only been scratched" This
was good news to business men for
the commerce departments current
trade report shows $27, 000,0 600 de-
cline in export trade for last month.
Some real scratching" will be nee
essary to build up this loss.
To the North
A career diplomat, Jay p. Moffat
was nominated by President Roose-
welt to replace James H. Cromwell
as u. S. minister to Canada. Moi
fat, now chief of the western Euro
pean division of the state depart
ment, is not expected to create the
furry that Cromwell did when, as a
U. S. representative, he made his
now-famous speech expressing de-
cided sympathy for the British
French cause in their struggle with
Hitler.

prise blitzkrieg for Johnny Bull. But
England has taken strong defense
measures of late to be ready for the
worst and she has promised warm
reception for any invader.
Frances interior seemed a bit
stronger too, for as the Germans
moved against the trapped Flanders
army in the north the line of defense
across the nations central axis was
decidedly bolstered.

Nest
Next, with Belgium and much of
the vital industrial portion of north
ern France safely tucked away,
Adolf Hitler had choice to make.
He could launch his long threatened
air attack on the British isles or he
could strike out for Paris.
Feeling against France has been
running high in Berlin, judging from
current reports. Usually it has been
the British that have been the SUBJ
ject to press attack by the Nazi prop
uganda machine, but now. France is
getting its share of verbal abuse.

the British into believing they were
