u. S. DEFENSE:
Addendd

Roosevelt asked congress for "a
more warships, to give America the
largest fleet in the world. It was
to be two-ocean navy, capable of
defending the country in the Atlantic
and the Pacific simultaneously.
Many Americans felt that there was
some rhyme and reason in this, but
continued to ask how the United
States could spare anything, of any
military sort, for the armies of any
European power.
Avoiding the word "conscription, {"
Roosevelt also came out in favor of
government service on compulsory
basis, to match the Canadians and
British, and following the lead of
the rather excited New York Times,
which had editorialized on the SUBJ
ject. The state department warned
Germany and Italy not to try to
annex any allied possessions in the
Western hemisphere: British, Dutch,
French or Danish-but again, other
Americans suggested that perhaps
we had better annex these isolated
allied bits. ourselves.

WAR REACTIONS:
Many and Varied

England and Germany kept bomb
ing each other from the air. The
English strafed the Berlin suburbs,
and the Germans hammered hum
dreds of miles of the English east
coast, where the true" Anglo-Sax-
ons hail from. Canada, Australia
and New Zealand proved their 10y
atty. Canada put in CONSUMPTION,
for service within the limits of the
dominion. The new governor-gen
eral, Queen Mary's brother, Ath-
lone, arrived from England, to pep
up the Canadians even more. But
another British dominion, South AT
RIGA, was debating separate peace
with Germany, as Premier SHUTS
deadlocked with ex-Premier Hert-
zog, and the Dutch Beers squabbled
with the British colonials down
there.
Soviet Russia frightened its hold on
the three little Baltic states of Lithu-
ania, Latvia, and Estonia, with an
aggregate population of perhaps
100000. Tiny Estonia underwent a
workers communist putsch, and
ousted its middle-class rulers. The
Red army aided in this ''revolu-
tionary' development, and other
developments" were expected in
Latvia and Lithuania. What would
become of honest, steadfast, debt
paying Finland, was the next ques-
ton, and one that agitated some
Americans more than the sad fate of
brave M. Reynaud.
Turkey drew tighter its ties with
Soviet Russia, and failed to make
good on its virtual alliance with Eng
land and France. The Turks made
a trade agreement with Germany.
The 'jackal" Italians did little or
nothing in military way, lost prac-
tically no men and very few ma
chimes, and made all sorts of loud
demands at the expense of 'back-
stabbed" France. British and black
shirts bombed one another here and
there in Africa, and in the Medi-
terranean, and some Arab and Italic
civilians were slaughtered.

RED CROSS:
Looks Things Over

International Red Cross officials
personally Investigated war-prisoner
camps in England, France and Ger
many, and pronounced things uni
formly decent, humane, and proper.
This came as cheerful verdict in
a dark hour.
1t seemed that Germany had 10
Anglo-French prisoners, to every
one German in Allied hands. And if
it counted in the Belgians, Dutch,
Poles, ETC., the ratio became star
tling-50 to l. Germany still had
a quarter million Poles, many of
whom were working in labor bat
talions.
The Red Cross further reported it
had handled nearly million let
tiers and communications, between
war prisoners and their relatives
back home wherever ''home"
might be. Apparently, there have
been few war atrocities in Norway,
Holland, Belgium, France; but addi-
tional atrocity data came leaking
out of Poland-data that reflected
equally unfavorably on Germans,
Poles, and Russians.

THIRD TERM:
The Campaign

The President, Mr.. Roosevelt, ap-
pointed two conservative Republican
colonies to his cabinet, to head the
army and navy departments. They
were Stimson, Hoover's old secre-
tary of state and Taft's old secre-
tary of war, and Knox, Republican
vice presidential candidate in 1886,
when he ran with Landon.
The Roosevelt action blew the lid
off, and the bitterest campaign in
American history got under way.
People said that the third term and
the World war depended on one an
other, and had become an inter-
locking directorate. Congressman
asked Roosevelt to resign, or said in
private that he ought to be i'm
peached. Roosevelt's Charlottesville
speech came in for increasing con-
demnation, and so did Stimson. and
Knox, both of whom admittedly are
extremists in their help-Ally view
point.
Within Roosevelt's own cabinet,
Farley and Garner were apparently
against the cabinet shift, and Gar
ner was reported as opposed to the
Roosevelt NEEDLE" policy in Euro
pean wars. Roosevelt, who is nota-
bly, short-tempered, was beginning to
bride under the heavy fire, and the
fact that his popularity was con-
stantly on the up-and-up in England,
it was feared, would not help him
over-much with plain American
voters.

defense: Overwhelming sentiment

French 'DebdcLe'

The critics went to work on the
French army. 1t was brave, well
equipped, perfectly trained. But it
was trained for defensive fortress
warfare, which was to it's credit, and
did not know how to maneuver in
the open field. All modern forces
need armor, but French armor went
into the static Maginot line, while
German armor went into highly mo-
bile tanks and armored cars. The
guns of the Maginot line pointed due
east, and were too cumbersome to
turn into reverse. Hence, when the
Germans fianked the line, and took
it in the rear, after the capture of
Paris and the breakthrough at Sc
dan, the line and its really gallant
"shellfsh" became almost helpless.
Meanwhile, the German motorized
columns cleaned up the French chan
mel coast down to Nantes in Brit
tany, took Tours and Lyons, and
captured 700 new French tanks, 400
just-delivered American airplanes,
and two 35, 000-ton French warships,
nearly completed. The French gov
eminent had moved from Paris, to
Tours, to Bordeaux, to Biarritz; the
fascist-minded Corsican, Jean Chi
appe, Daladier's mortal foe, had
taken charge in Paris; and the two
surviving Paris newspapers, Vic
toire and Matin, were more anti
Reynaud than they were anti-Ger-
man. The great lola wrote a book
about the Franco-German war of
1870, called "Debacle." This 1910
debacle was 1870, all over again.

French Terms

Within six weeks after Adolf Hit
Ter had begun his invasion against
the low countries, France had
signed an armistice with Germany
and Italy Ga combatant for only two
weeks) and the battle of France"
was ended.
In a war that has been strange in
many respects it was not surprising
that the first news of the terms end
ing the struggle came from London
rather than Berlin, Rome or Paris.
British officials announced that
through friendly French sources"
they had learned that terms of ar
mistice included: Cd Complete de-
mobilization of French land forces
(2) surrender of the French fleet;
(3) German occupation of more than
half of France; "a merchant ship
ping to remain in home ports until
further traffic was authorized by
Germany and Italy; 50 all French
information about naval mines to be
given Hitler and a portion of
Frances navy is to engage in mine
o"CSP1lS c11OIlS 4CllSlI POl 10.
These in the main were the con-
ditions of peace demanded by Ger
many and her ally Italy. The
French government headed by
Marshal Henri Petain as premier,
signed the armistice, declared
day of mourning Winston Churchill,
British prime minister, was quick to
scold his old ally and declared in
effect, that while peace had come
to France-it was not the "peace
with honor" that Petain had sought.
Rumors of a provisional French
government with headquarters in
London were heard in official quar-
tiers.
After the fighting had ceased on
the continent, one major fact stood
out: the mighty armed forces that
are Hitler's now had but one objec-
tive-the complete defeat of Great
Britain. Berlin and Rome were op-
timistic that it could soon be ac-
complished. London was sure that
it could not, and British circles re-
minded the world that the Rome
Berlin axis had still to break the
iron ring of England's powerful
navy.
