BATTLE OF BRITAIN:
Invasion

Invasion
Information from unoccupied
France was that German troops in
great volumes were moving toward
the French channel ports. Germany
closed all travel and communica-
ton routes between occupied and un-
occupied France.
Worried about the turn. of events
in the Far East, England offered
self-rule to India after the war If
that country would now aid the Brit
ish cause.
England, with a new army COM
mander-in-chief, Sir Alan Brooke,
changed its mode of defense. Boast
ing an army of 1900, 900 well-trained
men, it swung back to the old theory
that the best defense is an offense.
Therefore road distractions laid to
delay movement of an enemy If he
arrived were dug up-to permit the
British army to get at him faster,
If he did.
Bombings
England bombed Germany and
Germany bombed England. Both
sides claimed heavy damage to the
other. Germany claimed the port
of Dover, England, a shambles.
England claimed the port Of Ham,
burg, Germany, "pulverized." Both
sides denied they were hurt much.
Virtually all British raids on Ger
many and German-held territory
have been night calls, when safety
is greatest for the fiiers. On the
other hand, Germans have paid day.
light calls on England. This has
led to the opinion the Nazi fiers
were more interested in observation
than destruction. But several east
ern and southern English ports vir-
tually have ceased to be open for
commerce.
In africa
Meanwhile Mussolini began war
like gestures in Africa. Italian
troops said to number 250, 900 moved
from Italian possessions on Egypt
and British Somaliland. London
newspapers warned their readers to
expect some Italian successes.
Duce's goal Is believed to be Suez
and the gate to India.

u. S. DEFENSE:
War Games

Accent on war came closer to
home for hundreds of thousands of
American families when they saw
$4,000 of their sons, brothers, and
fathers march off to the largest
peacetime maneuverS in American
history.
From coast to coast, border to
border, u. S. army regulars, Nation
al Guardsmen and organized re-
serves were modified for a 21-day
training period that swung them in
divisions, corps and armies into SIM
ulated battle conditions in a war
game around the Canadian border.
Congress
Meanwhile President Roosevelt
sent message asking congress for
authority to call the National Guard
into training for a year and gave
his endorsement to the movement
for peacetime CONSUMPTION. After a
favorable committee report the
senate readily granted the National
Guard authority CID and sent this
measure to the house.
Senate military committee ap-
proved the modified Burke-Wads-
worth CONSUMPTION bill, but there
were predictions the weeks of COM
mittee debate are only the prelude
of what is ahead on the senate and
house floor. Bill now confines regis
tration to men between ages of 81
to 81. Former War Secretary
Woodring opposes the measure and
urges lowering army enlistment pc
riod Of one year and raising pay, in
order to attract volunteers.
House leaders devoted hours of
struggle to excess profits taxes and
defense orders, combination of
which promises to be highest bottle
neck. Present plan is to permit
cost Of plant expansions to be de-
Quoted from taxable earnings over
fve-year period, at rate of 20 per
cent each year. Manufacturers
want to net enough from defense
orders to pay for necessary new IA
cilities, definitely do not want to risk
paying taxes on worthless property,
as many had to do after 1919. u. S.
Chamber of Commerce said: prob
abilities OF loss are so great d.
many business men would rather
not undertake such business"
Also in Washington:

vealed the navy had agreed to pur-
chase large number of trawlers to

harbors.
q Alien registration to include
100000 will begin August 81.

termination to use our national de-
fense-our army, our navy, our air
force-in protecting not only our own
shore lines, but the shore lines of our
sister nations of the Western hemi-
sphere.
In other words, the conference
which is described as "the Pan
American Agreement on Colonies,
did these things: D it determined
steps to be taken If any European
possession in the Western hemi-
sphere were threatened with trans
fer Of sovereignty to another for
eign nation; ~ 1t established a new
base for inter-American trade and
economic relations 30 that inroads
by any European or Asiatic power
will be made more difficult; (3) 1t
prepared the way for dealing with,
and the control Of agents of foreign
powers seeking to carry on subver-
sive activities against the New
world.

u. S. Must Bear Burden
OF War in Americas

Probably, the Havana convention
will come in for some very harsh
criticism. 1t likely will be said by
some, for instance, that IL Is an
other step in the direction of war
and that its terms will result in
American troops being used all over
South America at some time in the
future. To the extent that the Unit
ed States must fght-f war comes
TO this side Of the Atlantic-the Ha-
Vana treaty will send our troops
south Of the border. II may be that
such a result would have to come,
anyway, whether the United States
was aligned with its sister repub-
lies or not.
If war comes our way-and / see
no reason for It to come over here
the United States Is going to have
to carry the burden. The United
States has the great stake and II
must defend that stake. So, the
question turns on whether It Is wise
to take in so much territory by a
written agreement, or whether to
persist in following the doctrine Of
President Monroe as Is now a ira
dition, dealing with the problems az
they arise.

Agreement EstabIishes
NeEO World Solidarity

Under this structure of interna-
tional agreement, there is set up ma
chinery which will provide some
thing Of guardianship protec-
torate-for British and French and
Dutch Guiana. The British section
of that three-part country, Of course,
Is still subject to British rule. No
body knows exactly the status of
the French and Dutch sections, since
Hitler forced France TO her knees
and wreaked havoc with Holland.
To date, the situation is not thor
oughly clear how this protectorate
will work. 1t can be said, how
ever, that the idea is definite and
conclusive and that any move to
transfer Dutch and French Guiana
to Germany will meet with resist
ance. The United States and its
sister republics simply have said TO
Hitler and the others in Europe:
stay on your own side Of the At
lantic, we don't want you over here
and you shall not come here.
So, any fair Interpretation of the
Havana international meeting means
that Cd a principle has been estab-
lished, (2) that means of support
ing and enforcing that principle have
been created, and (3) that any of
the nations Of North OF South Amer
lea can act against any foreign pow
er and will do so with the agreed
approval of the others. It is q pow
erful thing and, If it holds, there is
established an entirely new solidari-
ty within the New world.

Value of Agreement
IL Highly Controversial

~ 1t4hty controversial
There are many objections posi-
BILE OF statement respecting this new
treaty arrangement. None can fore
tell whether those objections have
merit or not Nor can anyone in this
day say with certainty that the pro-
gram will guarantee either peace or
war. In most arguments that we
hear in Washington discussions,
claims that appear sound are adj
vanced both for and against the
value and general merit of the Ha-
vana treaty. The thing will have
to be studied and will have to be in
operation for a time, I believe, be-
fore anyone can make an unequivo-
cal statement whether its advan-
tages outweigh its disadvantages, or
whether the reverse Is true.
To get back to the copybook line
that time brings changes" it may
be pointed out properly that the
United States has bound itself to
defend all of South and Central
America. II may be said, more
over, that the Havana treaty ex-
pands the Monroe Doctrine beyond
any of the original meaning of the
statement made by President James
Monroe. Or, II offers ground for
argument that the United States in
taking upon itself the guardianship
OF all Of the Americas, since it is a
fact that the United States navy is
the only navy worthy Of a name in
all of the Western hemisphere
Fate of Small Republics
Has Become Very Important
These changes have taken place
OF that, there can be little doubt.
But there remains tina coalition that
confronts all of the nations of North
and South America. We do not know
In this country what influences are
operative in South and Central
America. OF course, II Is known
that subversive agents-Hitler and
Mussolini and Stalin-are busy in
Mexico. We can see various signs
Of the boring from within that is TAX
ing place in other nations. But the
truth is that we have no real lmowl-
edge Of how much progress has been
made or whether the parasites that
are within the body polite of the
Latin countries have left only q
shell OF solidarity on the surface for
us to see.
These things, If they do exist, are
highly dangerous to the United
States. How dangerous they are,
time alone will tell, but time has
brought the changes that force the
United States TO build something in
the nature Of protective fence. The
question is whether that fence shall
be on our frontier with Mexico and
Canada, or whether 1t shall be q
fence along the shores of the At
lantic and the Pacific, and whether
the United States can build a fence
at all to make trespassers keep out.
1t was only few years ago that
the Washington government was sort

lies hold their elections with gunfire

That would be the surest way to dis

anything that Is done by any of
those governments now, anything
that affects their status in relation

INDIGNATION:
Japan So Sorry

Arrest of nine British trade lead
ers and journalists in Japan was
designated by Tokyo as breaking
up of an espionage plot. Nipponese
reported Suicide" of one journalist
soon after his arrest. They said he
unfortunately leaped from a window
England demanded explanations
and London papers called for re-
taliation. Four Britishers eventually
were released but London was
aroused by now and the arrest Of
an undisclosed number of Japanese
in England, and elsewhere in the
British empire, put a further strain
on Anglo-Japanese relations.
Ambassador Namoru Shigemitsu
lodged "strong protest" with Wis
count Halifax, Britain's foreign sec
rotary, against arrest in London of
representatives Of two great Japa-
nese banking and commercial
houses. He was said to have re-
quested their immediate release.
There was no official comment, but

action was retaliation.

FAINT PEACE NOTE
STRUCK IN ITALY
Nav Reach Agreement With
British Over Contra
band Control Issue

ROME, May 26-lR-The posi-
bility of an agreement between IT.
ally and Britain over the vexatious
question of ~contraband control IN
the Mediterranean struck a faint
note of peace today amid 1taly's
intensified preparations for war.
The disclosure in British circles
that negotiations to soothe Italian
irritation over the Allied blockade
showed promise of success con-
trasted, however, with Premier
Mussolini's conferences with his
military chiefs and spectacular
demonstrations in II Duce's pres
ence to whip up popular war spirit.
Several hundred fascist youths
appeared before Mussolini in a war
demonstration.
II Duce stood impressive before
them and made no comment other
than a few words of appreciation
for their athletic display when the
youths raised great banners bear
ing such words as, War War;"
and "Duce, We Want to Me.ch!"
