tion's participation in the world
war in 1918.
Mr.. Roosevelt said that the al
most incredible events of the past
two weeks in the European conflict
referring presumably to the al
lied defeat In Franders-have nee
eSsitated acquisition of airplanes,
tanks, anti-air and anti-tank guns
and mechanical vehicles beyond the
Sl182 100000 emergency program he
requested only two weeks ago.
Mr.. Roosevelt broke down his
request into several categorieS:
Acquisition of critical material
guns, tanks. planes. and vehicles;
Development of additional facili
ties to make passiblc mass produc-
ton of weapons:
Authorization for him to call
up national guardsmen and reserve
soldiers and sailors for training
and retraining under federal COM
mand:
Training of an army of specialists
to handle the technical non-com-
batant machines behind the actual
lines of defense.
The increased gravity of the
situation indicates tina action
should be taken without delay Mr..
Roosevelt told congress.
The problem of defending our
national institutions and territorial
integrity is no longer problem
for men equipped simply with an
indomnitable determination. Mod
ern defense requires that this de-
termination be supported by the
highly developed machinery of our
industrial productive capacity.
An investigation into our manu-
featuring resources since my mes
sage of May l6 to determine the
practbility OF placing additional or
ders with industry for special ma
terisl. both to provide an early
expansion of existing production
facilities, and to obtain increased
quantities Of the special weapons
concerned, has caused the war and
navy department to submit to me
an urgent and new recommendation
that increased appropriations and
authorizations for the national de-
tense be made before the adjourn
ment of the present congress.
over and beyond the acquisition
of this actual material is the evil
dent requirement for the immediate
creation of additional production
facilities to meet possible future
emergencies as we'll as present de-
ficiencies in the making of NUM-
tions. such as guns, ammunition and
fire control equipment. These ia
cilities require long time TO create
and to reach quantity production.

counter-thrust. possibly designed to
open a path toward Boulogne and
Calais.
On the northern coast. centering
around DunLirk, an estimated 200
600 British and French continued
to fight strongly against perhaps
100000 Germans who have already
= won the battle of Flanders.
Tho Paris spokesman estimated
tn at two divisions (originally
around 10000 mem of the first
French army under Gen. Rene
Prioux reported captured by the
GermanS) had fought their way
through the German lines TO the
coast, but the Nazi high command
Claimed that the great mass" OF
the French forces in the north had
been annihilated or captured.
This triumph. the German COM
mand said, released the Nazi forces
in the north for other duties
against England or the French
capital-although it was admitted
that fierce fighting was still in
progress at scattered points and
before Dunkirk, the main center
for evacuation of Allied troops.
In the Dunkirk sector. the Allies
were fighting in the coastal sand
hills.
With their lives and their last
bullets they were exacting from an
overwhelming enemy-said to out
number them to Ia terrific
price for the German victory. And
they were delaying a Nazi thrust
at Paris or London.
The chances that most of the
Allies remnants, cut off, split into
small bands, living in what sur
Vivors called the hell of Flanders"
might escape death or capture had
been estimated at not ! in 100
However British sources estimat-
ed that about half the BEF which
was believed TO total at least 3OO.-
600 men had been evacuated from
northern France and other thou
sands were still arriving. If these
figures are confirmed il will be
tremendous achievement in the
face of Nazi air and land lombard
ment. Berlin dispatches said that
fog over the channel was aiding
the evacuation by halting activities
of the air fleet.
Regardless of odds. the fight went
on.
Under a blizzard of bullets. Brit
ish expeditionary force troops even
dug in on a new defense me pro-
tecting Dunkirk. Appropriately il
was christened the "Corunna" line
an echo of the Napo1eonic wars
when Sir John Moore in 1908 in
simi lar desperate circumstances
fought an heroic rearguard action at
Corunna. Spain, which saved the
bulk OF his expeditionary command
How many Allied troops already
have been evacuated from Flanders
was a military secret but some
sources estimated that if 100000
had been withdrawn the achieve
ment would rank high in military
annals. Possibly 27oO0O French and
British were estimated to be still
in Flanders. There seemed little
chance that any appreciable propor-
ton OF these could escape but the

British seemed prepared to hold
the Corunna line as long as hope
existed that any Allied remnants
could cut their way through the
estimated 100000 Germans in the
region TO the sea.
With the Flanders chapter in
its final episode new phase of the
war appeared TO be imminent Re-
ports from British sources persisted
that all hope of keeping Italy out
of the war had gone and that ltal-
ian entry at Germanys side must
be expected at any time Some Sug-
gcsted it might come over the
weekend.

reported Friday that Chancellor

The next German move, 1t Seem-
ed certain. will be a stroke at Lon

aganda agencies gushed with new
torrent OF stories. charging ali man
ner of cruelties and atrocities
against the French.
The object OF this propaganda
drive was not clear Previously.
German propaganda had left the
French strictly alone or ConCen-
trated on efforts TO drive a wedge
between Britain and France. Some
suggested that the Germans were
trying TO mask their next move by

fall upon France A feint at Paris

German power was hammered home

Reports circulated that propagan-

Success Of Allied
Retreat Shows Air
Power Not Enough

Corunna by a British army during
Great Brltains operations against
Napoleon. in Spain.
The Dunkirk retirement. in fact,
has much more Importance than
the Corunna operations because it
will now be necessary for naval
specialists 10 revise previous ideas
that alrplanes might become the
masters of warShipS in major
conflict between them. 1t is evident
that the German planes have failed
to drive the Allied vessels away
from the Franco Belgian coast tho
conditions had been believed by
the German high command TO be
very favorable for such an enter
prise.
An air offensive against an army
in the field is more destructive than
against warshipS because the enemy
troops are massed and present far
larger targets. A warship, even of
large tonnage is very difficult to
hit from great height because it
is not conspicuous. This is funda-
mental reason for the failure of the
Germans TO entrap the Allies at
Dunkirk.
Reports from London tell of nu-
merouS small craft carrying troops
and refugees across the channel,
even towing barges being used to
help in the conveyance. The use
of such inconSpicuouS ships is part
of the Allied plan to interfert with
the visibility of the German ayia-
tors and accounts. in part, for the
success of the retreat by sea.
The Allies warships are AFFORD
ing effective protection to many of
the remaining troops who are fight
ing their way to the coast. The
continuous barrage from the big
guns has permitted the Allies to
reestablish a new battle line thru
which the Germans would be able
to penetrate only at very heavy cost
The Germans have not shown any
desire at the present to take this
risk.
1t has been the strategy of the
Germans, since the surrender OF
the Belgian king. to save their IN
fantry. as far as possible. The Ger
mans have been using tanks and
airplanes as their major offensive
units in the past two days, hoping
to cut off and surround detach-
ments of the retreating French and
British without the heavy casualties
that would accompany infantry Of
fensives.
But the backbone of an army is
the infantry. Tanks and airplanes
not adequately supported by march
ing regiments, have been demon
Strating in the past forty-eight

The orderly financing of federal

by emergency expenditures for ma
tiOnal defense requires provision
of additional taxes or an increase
in the limit on tho national debt"
Morgenthau said.
IN my Judgment both arc es-
Scntial."
Doughton'S bill would make the
increased taxes effective for five
years. The revenue would be car
marked to retire defense bonds.
Morgenthau said that the treas

for the fiscal year 1871 will amount
to S3.703, 100000 Borrowing power
remaining under the present debt
limit is but $1,973.OOO0OO, he said.
Rep. Allen T. Treadway. r.. Mass,

ibility of reducing expenditures had
been considered during conferences
