Neutral observers speculated on
possible connection between the
reported border clashes and advices
indicating that the Italians have
been concentrating troops along the
Yugoslav-Albanian frontier for the
last three days.
Some quarters suggested the pos
sibility of simultaneous moves by
the two powers to realize territorial
aspirations in the Balkans.
Reports have been arriving here
for some time of large concentra-
tions of Russian troops along the
Bessarabian frontier, giving rise to
fears that the Soviet might attempt
to regain the lost province.
Assurances from Russia.
On several occasions, however,
Russia has assured Rumania that
she would respect Rumanian terri
torial integrity. Only 10 days ago,
apparently hopeful of strengthen
ing ties with the Balkans, Moscow
named new Minister to Rumania,
filling a post that has been vacant
since February 4, 1885,
The previous Minister, Feodor Bu-
denko, fled from Bucharest on that
date after turning Communist,
and Moscow had refused to name a
successor on the ground that Ru-
manian authorities connived in his
fight.

French government at Bordeaux or
will accord recognition to the special
French body functioning in London.
Disclosing that increasingly urgent
appeals are being received from
Americans previously warned but
who delayed departure from the war
areas, Mr.. Early said the State and
Navy Departments already have
made special trips into the prescribed
combat zones to bring Americans
| back.
The projected transfer of 20 "mos-
quito torpedo boats to Great Brit
ain-a transaction which drew out
spoken criticism in Congress-was
Cancelled yesterday by Mr.. Roosevelt.
Ships Transfer Cancelled.
The Presidents action destroyed
British hopes of acquiring the Ill
deStroyers which the Navy has left
over from World War days, for he
based his decision on a law pro-
hibiting the delivery of American
built war vessels to a belligerent.
Mr.. Roosevelt ordered negotia-
tions for the mosquito" boat trans
fer halted late in the day after study
ing an informal opinion from At
torney General Jackson. The At
torney General held that British
acquisition of the extraordinarily
ordered for the United States Navy
would violate a law enacted in
June, 1917, when the United States
| and Great Britain were Allies.
Before the order was issued, Sec
retary Edison disclosed that there
had been pressure" on the Navy
to sell its World War destroyer flo
tilla, but to no avail.
Keeping Combatant Vessels.
1--WE are keeping all our combat
ant vessels" he said but die not
mention the law later cited by
the President. Mr.. Edison discussed
the attempt to purchase the de-
stroyers at his final press confer
ence before quitting the Navy De-
partment to run for Governor of
New Jersey.
The mosquito" boat transaction
first became public week ago. AS
sistant Navy Secretary Compton
said that on his own responsibility
he had authorized waving of de-
livery of the craft. Mr.. Early sub
sequently said the decision had
White House approval. Mr.. Comp
ton contended the Navy would ben
eft by acquiring later-type vessels.
Censure was Immediately forth
| coming in Congress. Chairman
Walsh of the Senate Naval Com
mittee called the negotiations sur
reptitious" and said the transfer
might jeopardize national interests
if war should come. Other lawmak-
ers demanded formal explanation
from the Navy. The incident moved
Congress to take preliminary steps
toward forestalling such transfers
in the future.
In ending the mosquito" boat
negotiations, Mr.. Roosevelt stated
the Navy had requested his action
because of the Attorney Generals
opinion.
Chairman James L. Fly of the
Federal Communications Commits
sion announced plans for creation of
defense communications commit
tee ito cope with any eventualities.

Secretary of State Hull declined
yesterday to discuss whether this
country might recognize new
French National Committee being
organized in London to carry on
resistance to Germany and Italy in
defiance of the Bordeaux govern
ment's agreement to an armistice.
Indications were that any de-
cision on possible withdrawal Of
recognition of the Petain ministry
at Bordeaux in favor of the, London
group would await evidence as to
what extent the move for continued
resistance is supported by the French
colonial empire.
MOrgenthau Awaits Solution.
Secretary of the Treasury Morgen-
thau told reporters, meanwhile, that
he could not decide anything about
possible release Of the frozen"
French funds here until the State
Department had advised him about
various aspects of the recognition
problem.
He also said the Treasury had
reached no decision on the possi-
bility of using some of the funds of
France and other invaded coun-
tries impounded here to offset Amer
ican losses in those nations.
Secretary Hull said withdrawal

well to have a yardstick for con-

has been proceeding progressively
during the last 81 years, until now,

to build SO per cent of the vessels in
navy yards and SO per cent of them

U. s. WILL BE GEARED TO TOP SPEED

WASHINGTON, May 29 = President Roosevelt named a Ma tional Defense Commission of seven to gear the nation to ton speed production of defense ib- plements.
 Edward R. Stettinus, Jr., chair man of the United States Steel Co.,, will have charge of delivery of industrial materials to war industry plants; William S. Knud sen, president of General Motors, will supervise production; Sidney Hillman, president of the Amal- gamated Clothing Workers, will supervise labor and employment problems; Ches Devis, Federal Reserve Board member, will manage farm products; Ralph Budd, chairman of the Burling- ton Railroad, will supervise trans portation; Leon Henderson, of the Securities Commission, will watch price trends in an attempt to avoid undue increase in the cost of living; Miss Harriet FL liot, Dean of Women, University of North Carolina, will advise on consumer problems.
 The President acted under the 1917 Defense Act in operation of the Army and Navy in place of his own orders. The commission will see they are carried out.

titled to first consideration. With this, both Cogress and the Presi dent appear to be in accord. Turn ing out fifty thousand planes per year seems offhand to be some thing to be expected only in land which like Germany, has made war and preparation for war it's chief business for genera tions. The aircraft industry sees nothing ridiculous in the demand and dismisseS compliance with it as "a simple matter"
 The Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce may be a trifle over confident but after all is in the best position to know it's own re- sources. One thing is certain, The occasion to test the efficiency and the capacity of the plane-mak- ing plants is here, and the same observation holds true respecting other manufacturing interests which would be called upon to do their part if the United Stat es was threatened or invaded. Many remember and regret the delay in delivery, vast, high cost of production, and misspent ef- fort that followed our entrance into the World War. The coun- try did well under the circum- stances, but what is going on abroad proves should Mir. Hitler see fit to turn his attention to conquest beyond the Atlantic, the circumstances would not be those of a quarter-century ago.

EDITORIAL
NATIONAL DEFENSE
 COMMITTEE AND ACTION

Announcement recently of the appointment by President Roose- welt of a National Defense Com mittee" whose duty it will be to gear the nation to top speed of production marks one of the greatest steps ever taken by a nation for her security in time of an extraordinary emergency.
 Each member of the committee is chosen from among the most skilled and highly trained of the nations industries. That all are eminently qualified is attested by their success in the fields in which they have labored.
 Millions of men and women will be summoned to cooperate in this cooperative industrial task and the nation may expect to witness a more intensified era of production of manufactured and certain raw materials than even dreamed of before.
 The unleasing of billions of dollars of national funds for the purpose soon will have it's eff feet. Every state in the union and every territory will participate in the new activity-and Alaska should count on doing her part and sharing the new business and prepare accordingly.
