The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-11-11

certain letters SelZed by the committee reveal that Nazi con- suls close to Hitler have gone to such amazing lengths in their subversive activities that publica- tion of the letters would lead to a tremendous public outcry and demand for the recall of the con- suls to Germany.
 The State Department is op- posed to their recau, v.uau.. ....j would also mean the recall of American consuls and diplomats from Germany, with the virtual If not actual, breaking off of diplomatic relations. The State Department opposes this because it believes that American diplo- mats in Germany are useful as observers who can inform Wash- ington as to what :5 going on.
 However, some other Adminis- tration advisers take an exactly contrary view. They point out that Hitler has forced American diplomats to leave Denmark, Nor way, Holland, Belgium, Poland and most of the NazAoccupied areas, 50 there are not many U. s. observers left. Furthermore, they point out that American diplomats are so isolated in Ger many that most of the informa- tion could continue from the press regardless of the presence of American diplomats and con- suls.
 NAZIS IN LATIN AMERICA
 There is a large question mark in the minds of Latin American diplomats regarding the United States policy toward Nazi Fifth Columnists. Nazi agents have been the plague of Latin America, operating almost openly in Uruguay. Many of these agents have diplomatic immunity and cannot be arrested.
 Some actually have come to
 the United States from Ger
 many, and secured diplomatic visas in Washington for the Latin American countries where
 they were about to work. Latin American diplomats know that
 they are agents, but as .ong as their governments continue dip- lOmatic relations with Germany
 they are bound by reciprocal agreement to issue diplomatic
 visas when requested by the Nazi government.
 Latin Americans poin: out that if the United States would take the lead, and endeavor to rid the entire Western Hemisphere of Nazi Fifth Columnists, the rest of the continent would follow suit
 Under present diplomatic pro- cedur@ we are virtually giving diplomatic protection to agents intent upon undermining us. IN U. s. SKIES
 Britain is all set to train 1000 of its Royal Air Force pilots in the United States this winter - if the needed training planes can be obtained here.
 That's the only obstacle, but it's a tough one. For the student pilot training requirements of the Army. Navy and the Civil Aero nautics Board are so heavy that the companies making trainer ships can't meet their demands. Production capacity is being ex- banded, but the British need the planes immediately.
 Defense authorities, at the PreSi- dents direction, have tackled the problem and solution may be worked out. If so the young Bri- fishers will train here as civilians in private flying schools. This is within the law. Special legis- lation would be needed to train them in Army and Navy schools.
 The R. A. F. cadets would receive primary training in these schools, limited to the ru- ailments of flying. They would then be sent to Canadian and British schools for combat inc structiOn.
 NOTE - Last summer, the Bri- tish seriously considered setting up pilot training centers in south ern states. but this was abandoned for fear the plan would become q partisan campaign issue,
