Invusi ion CominQ
Soon. Say British

LONDON, Aug. 6. CUP)-Britons
were warned today that they must
expect that soon, perhaps within
two weeks, Germany would send
bombing planes over the country
in waves of as many as 500 each in
an attempt to force submission to
Adolf Hitler.
In articles which were believed
to have been inspired by authori-
tative sources, the newspapers un-
der blazing headlines said it was
believed officially that the Ger
man air force had nearly COM
bleted its reorganization, and that
an attempt to invade the British
Isles was likely to come both from
Baltic and English Channel ports.
Reports were published that Ger
man troops, detailed for an inva-
sion attempt, were training in dis
tant Baltic areas as they had done
for the invasion of Norway, and
activity was reported at both Dutch
and Belgian ports.
1t was suggested that Germany
could send light troop-carrying
ships all the way from Baltic ports
to Britain under favorable weather
conditions.
The Royal Air Force was known
to be keeping close watch on all
German concentration points and
it was believed that British planes
would be able to give timely warn
ing if and when actual German
troop movements were started.
Royal Air Force authorities were
reported to be convinced that a
German plan to use glider-towing
planes for an attack on Britain
would be feasible. But they were
understood to believe that any gill
der-trailers would be ~ rather to
supply troops who mfghW have eff
fected landing than to land troops
themselves.
The usually well-informed aero
nautical correspondent of the
Times, discussing the possibility of
invasion, said:
"Those who should be in position
to form sound judgment think
that an attempt may be made with
in the next week or two There
are rumors of activity in Norway,
where some italian planes are be-

Australia Takes
Steps TO Protect
Nearby Colony

CANBERRA, Australia, Aug. 6.
CUP)-John McEwen, minister for
external affairs in the dominion
government. told the House of Re-
presentatives today that Australia
was sending representative to
Noumea to assist French New Gale
donia 'in the prosecution of the
war"
New Caledonia, a French COL
ony, lies some $50 miles east of
Australia. Noumea is it's capital. It
is especially rich in minerals
chrome, cobalt, nickel, iron, man
ganese, antimony, mercury, CHINA
bar, silver, gold, lead and copper
have been mined)
Disclosing that Australia had
made representations to Japan
against the arrest of an Australian
named Woolley, McEwen told the
house that nothing had happened
that need necessarily cause a real
breach between Great Britain and
Japan.
Japan's aims in the Far East, he
said. had no need to conflict with
the known principles of British
policy.
Reviewing the war McEwen said
that If there was no attempt by
Germany and Italy to force an end
to the war this year there was
little doubt, from the aspect of
economic resistance and capacity
for increasing war production, that
the British empire would enter
1941 with enormously growing ad-
vantages.

On the political side, reports were
current that italy and Germany
had asked Turkey to define it's po-
sition toward a general European
conference on the Balkan Danubian

Germany felt that Turkeys posi-

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6 CUP)-
Sen. Claude Pepper, D., Fla, plan
ned today to seek early action in
the foreign relations committee on
a resolution he said would authorize
the sale of so over-age destroyers
to Great Britain.
A econd means of carrying out
the suggestion of Gen. John j.
Pershing was suggested by Foreign
Relations Committee Chairman Key
Pittman, D., New. He wanted to
trade destroyers for British battle
ships.
Isolationist senators charged that
Pershing's plan would constitute an

Gesture Toward Turkey Seen as New
indication Balkans Still Doubtful

Turkey; but Stain recently has
halted Russian newspaper COM
ment about the Dardanelles issue.
The more Immediately important
issue for Russia is to find some
way of trying to check Germany
and italy from obtaining prepon-
derant power in southeastern Eu-
rope.
Turkey offers an opportunity to
Stain for causing fresh confusion
in the Balkan situation and reports
of a rev Russian policy of friendli-
ness toward Turkey seem due to
that fact. Thus. Germany and italy
are asking the Turks to explain
their position if the Balkans were
to be reorganized under axis in
fluences.
Turkey must become uneasy over
extension of German power in the
Balkans because of Germany's
known ambition to move through
Asia Minor to Bagdad an inheri-
tance of the Hohenzollern regime.
Turkey, too, would look with dis
quietude at Italian domination of
the eastern Mediterranean because
of danger to the Turkish coast and
especially to the Mediterranean
exit of the Dardanelles. The totali-
tartan powers thus must count on
Turkish suspicior when inquiry is
made at Ankora regarding the Bal
kans.
Germany and Italy might find
Turkey open to reason if a guaran-
tee were offered that Hitler and
would protect the Turks
against Russia and give assurances
that by any effort by the Slavs to !
control the Dardanelles would be
checked.

Nazis Deny Death
Of Chief Anti-Jew
Editor in GERMANY

BERLIN, Aug. 6 (UP)-WelI in
formed German quarters said TODAY
that reports abroad of the death
OF Julius Streicher, editor of Der
Stuermer and one of Germanvs
foremost Jew-baiters, were "abso-
lutte nonsense
Streicher, it was said. is in Nu-
remberg and an article will be pub
lished soon under his signature in
Der Stuermer.
Other sources understood that
early this year Streicher had been
relieved of his duties as Nazi leader
in Franconia. He was reported to
have spent some time in a sanitar-
ium and to have been living re-
Gently on his estate in F'ranconia.
NEW YORK, Aug. 6. UP)-A
British official wireless broadcast,
picked up by Columbia broadcast
ing, relayed today an "as yet un-
confirmed" report that Julius
Streicher, arch-enemy of Jews and
Nazi overload for Franconia, was
dead.
Broadcasting in German. the Brit
ish wireless said that Streicher's
disappearance" was supposed to
have been the result of a clash
with Marshal Hermann Goering, and
that he was supposed either to have
been killed or to have committed
suicide.
Bitterly attacking Streicher from
the moral viewpoint, the British
wireless pointed out that he was
the publisher of the filthy and
pornographic" anti-Jewish publica-
ton "Stuermer" and commented
that he was one of the closest
friends of Adolf Hitler.

were reported to want to make sure
that there would be no Near East
ern development to interfere with
their plans to make of Turkey at
least benevolent neutral.
Turkeys position as a Moslem
power apparently was regarded as
important and it was suggested in
diplomatic quarters that Turkey
might exert influence in Egypt.
Italy has not declared war against
Egypt, Britain's ally, though Ital-
ian and British troops are fighting
on the Egyptian-Libyan frontier.

For British Govt

LONDON, Aug. 6 (UP)-A request
for recall of Noel Coward. actor and
playwright, from the United States
was voiced in the House of Com
mons today but a government
spokesman said that Coward was in
America for duties approved by the

call of the actor.
Harold Nicholson, parliamentary
secretary for the ministry of infor-

 Now, however, the Civil Aeronau- tics Authority and State Depart ment have worked out plan to combat the German influence by extending the existing U. s. air. line in Ecuador with post office subsidies. The line is Panagra, sub- sidiary of Pan American AirWays.
 A new Ecuadorean company is to be set up over Panagra, and Ecuador will be offered option to buy up to 51 percent of the stock. This would give them controlling interest whenever they could put up the money.
 In the meantime, the line will be U. s. dominated, but with Ecuador can pilots and crews, and every kind of training and improvement service offered for the airline ex- pansion of the country This would require a heavy investment of U s. capital, and Ecuador, in return, would be expected to rid herself of the German company.
 This plan, however, exists only on paper, and while it is being de- liberated the Germans are showing every sign of spending fresh money in this and other countries of South America.

On te list for such unique rallies are Detroit auto plants, steel mills in Ohio an d Pennsylvania, coal mines and sev- eral other mass production indus tries.
