Washington. June 3.-(Ap0-Lcg-
lSlatlon was introduced in the House
today to grant President Roosevelt
emergency powers to use any or all
reserve ComponentS" OF the Army
for national defense after Congress
has adjourned.
The measure WAS offered by Chair
man May. Democrat, Kentucky, Of
the House military committee, who
said reserve CompouCnlS" included
the national guard and that the pow
crS would extend also to use of the
retired personnel Of the regular
Army.
Mays bill would grant the control
should "a national emergency" arise
between the time Congress adjourns
and the converting of the new Con-
grcSS next January.
Mr.. Roosevelt asked last WccI;
that he be given the authority TO
call out the national guard to active
duty if he found it necessary.

Graf. Texas, House Democratic lead

Let me say at once that your first
obligation, in the midst of terrorS and
alarms, is not to be either terrified
or alarmed: and in the presence Of
circumstances darker than the black
est prophecies Of the peSSImlStS, not
to yield to pessinism. Nothing may
be gained by despair, nothing by
cynicism, nothing by the philosophy
of escape. Calmncss and hope, when
there is no argument for either, and
the poise that they give, are their
own argument and justification. Faith
itself is founded in hopc-it is, said
the Great Apostle, The substance
of things hoped for, which is to say
that where there is no hope there can

Mediterraneans theater has been
Admiral Sir Andrew Cunningham
and his Mediterranean fleet, ably
assisted by squadron Of the
home fleet from Gibraltar. 1t is
almost certainly the naval attacks
on the laramie Benghazi line of
communications, coupled with naval
commandments of Italian shore posi-
tions, which have immobilized Mar
shall Graziani for so long at Sid
Barrani 1t is British sea COM
mand which keeps the Italians in
the Dodecanese cut of from home
and comparatively idle. 1t is Brit
ish sea command which prevents
supplies and reinforcements reach
ing the Italian Army and air force
in East Africa. 1t is British sea
command which, meanwhile, allows
reinforcementS to come from Brit
ain, India, Australia, New Zealand,
South Africa to the British forces
in Egypt and in Kenya.
The italian Navy is either I'M
willing or unable to contest in bat
tie this British sea command. The
German Navy, what there is left OF
il, cannot come to the aid of the
Italians while the British hold Gil
braltar and while a superior fleet
blocks the way. But there are GER
tain naval forces in the Mediter-
ranean, at present unemployed
which might make a considerable
difference if they were to be thrown
into the scale of battle
The French and Spanish Fleets.
There are the French and Spanish
navies. That portion of the French
fleet which is now at Toulon prob
ably consists of one fast battleship,
the Strasbourg (presuming she has
been repaired to 10 cruis-
ers, possibly 40 destroyers, including
20 or more Of the super destroyers,
which are really light cruisers, and
an undetermined number of subma-
rines and patrol craft. The Spanish
Navy, principally based at Carta-
gena, includes cruisers, II de-
stroyers, is submarines, mine
layers and some small craft. II
these forces-perhaps partly off,
cered and manned by Germans
were to be added to the axis power
in the Mediterranean, the resulting
situation would be very serious.
This would especially be the case

were Gibraltar to be rendered un-
tenable for the British fleet, forcing
the latter to retire to some other
base. In such q case, axis subma-
rines and light craft could operate
along the African coast and from
Dakar (where there are other
French warships not included in
the above totals, threatening all
Britain's shipping round the cape
and from South America-Which is
to say, all connection with the Far
East, with Persian oil, with Aus
tralia and New Zealand, with Ar
genuine beef and grain, even with
Venezuelan oil.
The additional cruisers and de-
stroyers would make life miserable
for even well-escorted conveys; the
support of Spanish Atlantic bases
at Ferrol and Cadiz, added to Casa
blanca and Dakar, would give the
axis a great advantage over British
forces operating from the island of
Great Britain.
Might Permit Graziani Offensive.
In addition, there would be more
ships for convoy duty on the Ia
ranto Benghazi line, SO that Grail
ants supplies would flow more
steadily, perhaps steadily enough
to enable him to accumulate enough
for resuming his offensive r1ove
against Egypt, which has as its first
objective the British naval base at
Alexandria and as its second the
British main line of communications
through the Suez Canal.
OF course, we need not anticipate
100 per cent success for the German
plans. There are difficulties in the
wav. AS to the French fleet. the
officers and men are said to be burn
ing with rage at the British for the
affairs at Oran and Dakar. Yet

mel could rot be found to actually
fight the ships against the BRUSH.
To use German crews on some OF
the ships might be possible, given
time: it would not be possible I'M
mediately unless such crews are al
ready under training and it seems
likely that some hint OF this Wouio
have leaked out, were it true. Even
were the French crews to take the
ships out, it is quite possible that
thev would not fight them with the
same spirit and determination which
might be expected under other cir
cumstances.
AS to the Spanish fleet, it is to be
remembered that while it had con-
siderable experience during the late
civil war, the Spanish navy has
never rated very high among the
fleets of the world, while Spanish
pride would be an obstacle to the
wholesale use of German officers
and technicians.
The danger to British command
of the Mediterranean is real, how
ever. though it must be viewed in
the light of these mitigations.
For it to pass from the realm OF
conjecture into that of actually,
three things must come to pass.
First, Vichy must agree to hand
over the French feet or to use it
against Britain. Second, Spain
must enter the war on the side Of
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1940-10-24

the axis Third. Gibraltar must be
rendered untenable to the British
fleet.
For the first Of these, the Ger
mans appear to be pressing hard,
as well as for the second. The
most ominous sign is that Hitler
himself is conducting the negotia-
tons: 1t seems unlikely that he
would risk his personal prestige
unless he were reasonably sure Of
the result, at any rate in regard
to Spain. On the other hand, too
much pressure on France might
produce a revolt in French North
Africa. 1t is reported that the
French Army is stoutly opposed to
any hostilities with Britain. and
ACKNOWLEDGMENT. the ambitious;
Weygand of the dark fire'-has
been mysteriously busy from Dakar
to Rabat, from Rabat to Fee. Wey-
gand doesn't like the British, we
are told; but Weygand also hates
the Germans. If France is going
to become German colony, despair
may seize upon the French in North
Africa, and North Africa may go
over to the other side. If this hap
pens, the loss Of Gibraltar is neu-
tralized by Casablanca, Oran and
Bizerta-more than neutralized, in
deed, as far as position is concerned.
But this would not make up for the
additional ships the Germans might
gain; nothing would make up for
that, save more ships from some
other source.
Given sufficient ships. the Brit
ish, advancing from Gibraltar to
Bizerta, would be able to make the
laramie Benghaz line useless to the
Italians, completely cutting of

GRAHAM from his home bases. If
enough troops could be collected
for an offensive in French North
Africa-a long shot, OF course
Graziani's rear might be threatened.
If this happened, Egypt and the
Suez Canal would be saved for the
moment at least.
Political Moves Hold Key.
Everything points to a German
offensive, political and military. in
the Mediterranean. The political
moves are now being made; on their
outcome, the military moves depend.
The initiative is still with Germany,
will continue to be so unless some
dramatic change such as French
rising in North Africa or some sud-
den development in the Eastern
Mediterranean changes the picture.
While the Balkan activities of the
axis focus attention there. the West
ern Mediterranean must not be for
gotten, for there also the danger is
grave. Hitler will strive, one may
suppose, to strike at both ends of
the middle sea simultaneously. But
he cannot strike in the west unless
he has French and Spanish assist
ance, for which, therefore, he is now
bargaining and threatening. Some
of the possible results we have tried
to sum up in this article; in SUISSE
quent article the possibilities in the
Eastern Mediterranean will be re-
viewed 1t should, however, be re-
membered that the two theaters of
possible operations are interdepend-
ent; what happens in one affects
the other, and what happens in
either affects the course of the war
outside the Mediterranean as we'll.
