ropes warning powers, sparring fol

Norway, focused their attention or
the Eastern Mediterranean today a.
tire ominous sounds of military prep
aratlons echoed from the Suez Cana.
to the Dardanelles.
Concentration of combined Brit
ish- French battle fleet in this stra-
tegic harbor conceded with appar-
entity well : authenticated reports
that Italy was massing armed forces
In the Dodecanese Islands, some 4Ot
miles to the northwest.
The allied naval squadron at Alex
andria. near the entrance to the
Suez Canal, was described as the
strongest ever assembled IN the
Mediterranean and was said to be
only the forerunner of an even
larger force which the British and
French plan to base here to preserve
the status quo in this area.
Preparations Stepped Up.
Both Turkey and Greece, alert to
the implications of these maneuvers
stepped up their defense prepara-
tions, while YugoSlavia, long fearful
lest the war spread to the southeast
showed signs OF increasing anxiety.
It was not clear here whether the
allied naval concentration was pre-
cipitated by the reported italian op-
erations or whether the shoe was on
the other foot.
Although Rome maintained ofiicial
silence, diplomatic quarters gave
general credence to reports from
Rome that italian warships, soldiers
and planes were pouring into the
Dodecanese.
The reports said that the normal
italian garrisons in this stronghold
had been strengthened by the ar
rival of some 10000 fresh troops and
that war planes were being concen-
trated on the Island of Leors, only
IS minutes from Athens by air.
Fifteen Italian submarines were re-
ported at Rhodes, largest Of the is
land group.
Isles Strategically Important.
The islands, which Italy obtained
from the Ottoman empire in the
Balkan war of 1912, are strategi-
cally important because they virtu-
ally control the entrance to the
Aegean Sea, through which ships
must pass to reach the Dardenelles.
They also would offer a base from
which Italian planes and SUBJ
marines could operate against Tur-
key, non-belligerent ally of France
and Britain, in the event of war
In the southeast.
Control of the Mediterranean is
vitality important to Britain, to
whom it is the direct lifeline to
India, Australia and New Zealand
It is equally important to France
as the gateway to her African en-
pire.

Allies Are Expected
To Double American
War Purchases
Steel, AirpIones,
PropeIIonts. Explosives
Included in List
BY FRED H. MORHART, Jr.

With the allies believed already to
have placed in the United States a
billion dollars worth Of war supply
orders. it was reported here today
that the figure shortly will be dou-
bled through the use Of quick credits
rapidly being established here.
Four important items are in the
list OF essentials the British and
French are seeking. These include
steel, airplanes. propellants and
explosives.
The reason generally given for the
expected immediate expansion of
needs for supplies from this coun-
try Is that IT,. German Norwegian
advances have considerably upset
the European ocean transport sys-
tenn Of the British. In addition, it
was pointed out that industrial
Britain now is threatened from the
air.
OF the billion dollars in orders
reported placed in this country
since the war started, half is for
plane purchases, informed sources
report. The planes being shipped
abroad include more than half a
dozen of the latest pursuit and
bomber designs. Though originally
headed for the Army and Navy,
those departments waived delivery
in favor of taking later and more
improved types.
Machine Tools in List.
Machine tools are another i'm
portant item In the allied orders.
Machine tools, in q sense, have been
one Of the bottlenecks delaying the
speeded production schedule of
American industry, it was stated.
However, with the additional pur-
chases, it is explained, the machine
tool industry will be raised to a
position where it can meet to a
better degree . future national
emergency.
It is understood that munitions
production is tagging the most of
the four items mentioned. In this
connection the allies are under
stood to be negotiating with three
large explosive and propellant
manufacturers in this country
Atlas, Hercules and DUPONT.
Because of the vast oil resources
available to its national interests,
it is said the allies at this time are
seeking little or none of this prod
uct in the United States.
With the developing German air
interference with British shipping,
one authority stated the English
were forced to turn more and more
to the United States for material
aid.
More Truck Purchases.
It is believed that greater amounts
of ordnance will be purchased in
this country, including more trucks
which recently have been steadily
going abroad in greater numbers.
The reason is given that fabri-
Gated stuffs will be shipped abroad
in preference to raw materials,
though costing more. It was ex-
planned that in this way greater
quantities of finished products could
be gotten into the war scene,
whereas if raw materials were sent
to allied factories for fabrication the
net finished tonnage would be
smaller.
In addition, not only would bel
igerents be freed for other tasks,
but there would be less risk involved
by manufacture in this country far
from the theater of war.

Canadian Emissions Need
| OF Longer Work Week
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
OTTAWA, Ontario, Nov. 28.-Nor-
man McLarty, Labor minister, told
the House of Commons yesterday
that Canada must consider length
ening the standard work week from
A to 48 hours, ''or even longer" be-
cause of the demands of wartime
production.
I'VE have reached the point at
which, instead of planning to spread
the work. we are actually seeking
workers to man our rapidly ex-
panding war industries" Mr.. Nc
Larty said.
With the distressing news con-
corning havoc wrought by the enemy
in such centers as Coventry, Bir-
mingham, Bristol and Southampton
still ringing in our ears and with the
(British) Minister of Shipping ad-
mitting that sinkings are going on
at greater rate than requirements,
I suggest that this is no time for us
to be thinking of maintaining STAN
dards which do not take into ac-
count the urgency of the situation" "
He said the work week should not
be made Unfortunately long," be-
cause, beyond certain limits, fatigue
more than offsets any production
advantage from longer hours.
