Nazis Charge British
Are Plotting Sabotage
In Americas
Secret Agents Would Lay
Incidents to Reich, Says
Legation in Mexico City
BY the Associated Press,

by tNe Associated PreSS.
MEXICO CITY, June 3.-The
press bureau of the German Lega-
ton charged today that many Brit
ish secret service agents had ar
rived in Mexico and the Panama
Canal Zone recently to organize
sabotage operations and to create
incidents" which would be attrib-
uted to German agents.
The aim of these alleged tactics,
the bureau asserted, is to arouse
fear and hatred OF Germany in the
Americas, particularly the United
States
A statement issued by Arthur
Dietrich, chief of the bureau, said
In part:
'The government Of the Reich
has authentic information that q
great quantity of British agents
belonging to the secret service have
arrived in Mexico and the. neigh
borhood OF the Panama Canal
Their mission consists of creating
incidents and practicing acts OF
sabotage which would be attributed
later to Germany.
I'm its desperation, the British
government believes that, by resort
ing to these methods, it will spread
panic among the American peoples
and a psychosis of hatred against
the Reich.
THE current catch-phrase fifth
column Of which British propa-
ganda talks so much in the United
States, is designed to create un.
easiness and fear in the American
people-which are exactly what the
war-mongers desire for their mach
nations"

Army Seeks Funds
For 1900 Tanks
And 5000 Planes
Mechunized Force Would
Compare With Numbers
Nuzis Had in Flanders
BY EDWARD T. BOMAR,
Associated Press Stan Writer.

An American Army of tanks COM
parable in numbers to the force
which formed the spearhead of the
German drive through Flanders was
vlsuallzed by authorities today in
new defense estimates laid before a
House Appropriations Committee.
Funds for more than 1900 light
and medium tanks were included in
supplementary budget requests for
the Army and Navy aggregating
possibly s1,375 100000 in cash and
contract authorizations. They en-
bodied recommendations made last
week by President Roosevelt.
With the mechanical weapons al
ready in Army service and on order,
and those provided for in pending
defense measures, this would give a
grand total of more than 5000 tanks
of various types, not including such
lighter-armored vehicles as scout
cars.
The German Army employed a
force of approximately this size in
breaking through French defenses
on the Belgian frontier, by the best
available estimates.
The newest American types are
mostly 10 and l8 ton vehicles.
There has been no hint that the
Army high command favors under
taking 10 or 80 ton monsters such
as both Nazi and French forces
have used.
The Army also proposed 5000 ad-
ditional planes-largely training
types needed for the new job of
turning out 1000 pilots year-and
$200,000,000 for new and expanded
arms plants. The outlay for NUM-
tions facilities would double earlier
requests for the purpose.
Other requests in the latest sup
Elementary estimates for the Army
include more than 500 large-caliber
howitzers, ammunition and aerial
bombs, anti-aircraft defense equip
ment costing $30,000,0OO, start on
the manufacture of a new model
millimeter field howitzer, and
medical equipment and supplies.
In advance of testimony by War
Department officials, House Com
mittee members understood the
Army's share of the latest defense
bill was more than 100000 900, and
the Navy's slightly less.
The Navy had served notice that
1t would ask funds to start three
score more warships in line with
authority already given to expand
the Fleets tonnage by approximate
ly II per cent.
The new demand for tanks sug-
gested the Army had decided to
undertake mechanization on a scale
scarcely contemplated before the
European war began. Thus far,
progress has been relatively slow in
equipping the Army with the deadly
but costly fighting machines.
About 800 light infantry tanks
were massed in the South for last
months Regular Army maneuvers,
with the announcement that they
constituted virtually all in service.
The first of 329 light tanks ordered
last October from the American
Car & Foundry Co. at a cost of
100000 already have undergone
successfully the acceptance tests.

materialism, destruction and the
backing out of decency. They
stand for the overthrow Of demo-
cratic institutions, social. govern
mental and religious, even while
their lying leaders in our midst
speak In a humble tumble OF high
sounding phrases"
Mr.. Hoover by implication took
cognizance of criticism which re-
Gently has been directed against the
F. B. l., particularly in connection
with the arrest of the Spanish loyal
ist sympathizers in Detroit q short
while ago. He said:
"The lying propaganda machines
Of un-American bodies have been
working overtime, while all too many
American citizens have been hood
winked by their falsehoods, TRADES
and vituperation. From these same
sources have come charge after
charge designed to discredit and
blacken the good name of the Fed
eral Bureau Of Investigation and to
undermine public law enforcement
They stop at nothing in their efforts
to misrepresent the organization
which has made American homes

Relations With j. ).
Details UndiscIosed:
Aritu Discusses
East Indies
b. the Associated Press.

6y tne Associated Press.
TOXIC, June 3.-Premier Admiral
Mitsumasa Yonai told newspaper
men today that there is a way of
improving aggravated relations be-
tween Japan and the United States
but added that, "of course, such a
method is neither being considered
nor being taken"
Il am not in position now to dis
close the nature" of this way to
better relations, the Premier added.
Many of his hearers interpreted
his cryptic statement to mean that
Japan did not intend to conciliate
the United States by abandoning
any of her policies toward China or
other Far Eastern issues.
The Premier, a former minister of
the navy, replying to question con-
corning the concentration of the
United States Fleet in the Pacific,
said Japan feels no menace in this
connection"
To another question concerning
the future of the Netherlands Indies,

occupation, Yonai replied:
Some Japanese think it is nee
essary for Japan to reserve her
rights in the East Indies If their
status quo is altered. The foreign
minister (Hachiro Arita) already has
said that such rights will be re-
served"
Discusses East Indies Position.
Foreign Minister Arita, speaking
at the Institute of the Pacific, en-
phasized that Japans concern in the
East Indies is not limited to main
tenance of the status quo.
The imperial government cannot
remain unconcerned at any develop
ment which may change existing
conditions in the Netherlands In
dies" he said.
Our concern is not confined to
maintenance of the political status
quo. In view of their resources,
trade potentiaities and industrial
possibilities, 1t is but natural that
Japan should entertain the most
serious concern over the economic
status of the Indies as we'll.
1T is true that the Netherlands
East Indies are connected with Eu-
rope as a Dutch possession, but
since these areas are located in
East Asia, they also are intimately
bound with the destiny of the entire
East Asia.
Nobody can possibly ignore their
East Asiatic character"
Sees Friction Continuing.
Without naming any countries,
Arita asserted that an absence of
friction and conflict cannot be ex-
pected" when economic dislocations
immigration and tariff restrictions
exist between nations.
He drew picture of two nations,
one with a small area and a large
population and poor natural re-
sources: the other with a large area,
thinly populated and with good re-
sources.
Suppose" he said, "a further
situation developed In which a nor
NAL flow Of goods and commodities
between them is seriously impeded
by tariff walls, immigration restric-
tions and other barriers.
I'VE can hardly expect an alb
sence of friction and conflict be-
tween the countries. I am afraid
not few so-called Pacific questions
may be traced to just such contra
dictionS and rliustices."

ALEXANDRIA, Egypt, June g.
Seven hundred "nfth column" sus-
poets, seized in a weekend roundup,
were sent today to internment camps
in upper and lower Egypt.
Approximately 900 of the suspects
were seized in Cairo and the re-
mainder in Alexandria. All were
held under strong guard to await
trial before military tribunals.
Premier Ally Maher Pasha, mean
while, said the government is study
ing new measures to assure the
nations internal security in view
Of the tense situation in the Medi-
terranean.
Heavy Guards Posted.
Fully-equipped soldiers with fixed
bayonets stood guard over telegraph
and telephone systems. Heavy
guards also were posted at railway
stations, bridges and strategic points
along highways and canals. Police
armed with rifles patrolled the
streets.
Authorities prepared to requisition
trains and other transport facilities
quickly to remove children and aged
persons from Alexandria if Egypt is
attacked.
Failure of negotiations between
Italy and Britain over contraband
control spurred intense diplomatic
activity. The Premier conferred
with Gen. Henry Maitland Wilson,
commanding officer of the British
forces in Egypt; British Ambassador
Sir Miles Lampson and the Italian
Minister, Seafino Mazzolini.
Belief grew in official circles that
the Mediterranean situation would
be clarified after the scheduled
meeting of Premier Mussolini's cab
met in Rome tomorrow.
Foreigners Checked Closely.
The newspaper La Bourse Egyp.
tienna said that nearly 1000 per-

wife, hardly able to speak for shock,
said the planes had come over
while she was in the garden. She
had thrown herself fiat on her
face.
The most horrible part of the ex-
perience. she said, was the high
piercing and rising scream Of the
bombs as they came closer to earth.
"You hear them coming" she said,
"and 1t gives you time to wonder
whether this one is meant for you
or for some one else"
Many Bombs Fall on Homes.
Several different zones of the
city appeared to have been selected
by the Nazi raiders, and although
the immediate objectives seemed to
be military, many bombs had fallen
on civilian residents and their homes
near these objectives.
Throughout the city, particularly
in sections which had suffered dam
age-and for blocks around the area
where bombs had fallen streets were
filled with broken glass-people
stood around in scared little groups
talking of their experiences.
Explosive and incendiary bombs
hit a factory near the Seine and
started a raging fire. Great billows
of smoke rolled out of the building
to blot out the sky across the river
from one of the city's most fashion,
able districts. Here at least dozen
bombs fell.
Equipment was rushed up to fight
the blaze which apparently was
quickly got under control.
From the cabled description,
the location of this particular
fire might be opposite the fashion,
able Auteuil district, and just
north Of the Issy-les-Moulineaux
Airport on the left bank Of the
Seine)
Few Hurt Near Factory.
Rescue workers said there was
virtually no loss Of life at the fac
tory as the workers were away at
lunch when the raid started. The
few who were injured near the plant
were mostly hit by hurtling bricks
and Tying glass.

From the roof the American
Embassy observers noted that
the dreaded bombers suddenly
zoomed heavenward into the
blue sky to get out of range of
the anti-aircraft guns.
As the guns opened up, they
were joined by machine guns
mounted on rooftops. Then came
the thunder of the French fight
ing ships taking of in pursuit.
Traders at the Bourse, idling in
the sunshine or talking about the
market, heard the outburst of gun
fire, the noise Of the planes, the
piercing shrieks Of the afraid
sirens, and scattered like frightened
ants from stirred-up nest.
Night workers, doing abed, grab
bed their clothes and dashed for the
security of Easements and AFRAID
shelters. The drone of the planes,
the steady chatter of machine guns,
the roar OF the big guns continued.
Bomb Crashes Heard All Over City.
Where bombs struck the air was
choked with dust. Peaceful streets
were suddenly ripped up and lit
tered with rubble, plaster, stones,
broken tiles, twisted chunks of steel
girders.
From the outlying districts smoke
rose into the vision Of men watch
ing from roofs in the center of the
city.
The crash of the bombs could be
heard all over the city. Windows
shook. Some fell out from the deep
vibrations.
Fire engines and ambulances
rolled swiftly across the city to bring
aid to the wounded and halt the
progress of any fires which might
start. One fire did start in a fac
tory. Inside, it was reported, there
were dead and wounded workers.
In one street a bomb ripped a
hole at least IS feet deep and 40
feet in diameter.
Windows and doors were blown
out of the apartment where the Ma
tional Broadcasting Co. has its Office.
Paul Archinard and Kay Herrick
of Bethel, Me-, escaped without in
jury.
Three Carried Out Of Building.
Three wounded persons were car
ried out Of another apartment eight
stories high after a bomb had ripped
through to the second floor and
burst.
Bombs demolished a wooden house
and sent fragments smashing
against the face of a seven-story
apartment building. A subway sta
ton was struck. but no one was
inside.
| In the stu mdistrict, where the
three apartment houses began blaz-
ing after the incendiary bombs
struck, the ambulances were filled
as quickly as possible. one roaring
of after another to the nearest
hospital.
Crowds of badly frightened Pa
risians from the neighborhood be-
gan crawling out Of air raid shelters
and cellars.
In another residential district, an
