Canadian Agreement
With U. 5. May Hasten
Defense Pacts 10 South
Form for MutuuI Aid
Treaties May Be Supplied
BY Joint Board
BY the Associated Press.

~ the hSSoSiatco ieoss
The new defensive arrangement
between the United States and
Canada may point the way for a
system of mutual assistance pacts
throughout the Western Hemisphere.
The 81 American nations laid the
basis for such a system among
themselves at the recent Havana
conference of foreign ministers and
the joint Defense Board to be set
up by the United States and Canada
is expected in informed quarters to
establish the form Of agreements to
be sought.
The other American republics are
being kept fully posted by Washing
ton about the progress OF the Ca
madam arrangement and other de-
Acting Secretary of State Welles
said at his press conference today.
Mr.. Welles gave it as his personal
opinion that the joint board could
be established without congressional
sanction, inasmuch as it seemed
to him to lie entirely in the province
of the Chief Executive as head of
our military structure and the off,
cial charged by the Constitution
with the conduct of the Republics
international affairs.
Mr.. Welles. said it was his under
standing that the State Department
would be represented on the joint
board.
The agreement reached between
President Roosevelt and Prime
Minister King makes provision for
a civilian member of the board
from each of the two countries in
volved.
The relations of the Western
Hemisphere republics are so close
now, Mr.. Welles said, that all are
kept fully acquainted with develop
ments affecting them all.
The Havana conference adopted
a reciprocal assistance agreement
under which. in event Of threats to
the security Of any Of the American
nations or the hemisphere as
whole, the various countries would
consult on the actual form Of aid
to be given.
This envisaged a series of bilat-
eral or multilateral military agree
ments.
Canada, however, did not partici-
pate in the Havana Conference. The
agreement reached by President
Evening star., 1940-08-19

Roosevelt and Prime Minister King
to set up a joint board thus WAS
tantamount to linking Canada d.
rectly with the continental defense
plan Of the pan-American group.
Some persons in Washington ques-
toned the Presidents authority to
make q binding agreement without
Senate approval, but indorsers Of
the defense board idea took the
view that the agreement did not
constitute formal treaty.
The joint defense board was ex-
pected to act only in an advisory
capacity.
Members of Congress expressed
general approval of the defense
agreement.
Senator Barkley of Kentucky, the
Democratic leader, said the Presi-
dent and Mr.. Mackenzie King were
to be congratulated on their fore
sight in coming to an understanding
on defense problems.
This agreement" he told re-
porters, 'is the natural evolution of
proposals to defend the Western
Hemisphere against totalitarian
ideals and invasions."
Senator Guffey, Democrat, of
Pennsylvania, a member of the
Foreign Relations Committee. COM
mented that the agreement carries
the Monroe Doctrine to its final
conclusion"

"home guard" against parachute or
other behind-the-lin invasion.
Berlin's warning was similar to one
issued in connection with the in
vasion of the Lowlands and France.
The German warning said Eng
lish troops need not necessarily
wear regular British uniforms to be
classified among the regular armed
forces, but that they must have
identifying marks.
Parade of Bombers.
A special communique said tell
ing blows" had been dealt the Brit
ish air force yesterday in a series
of raids in which German planes
were reported to have staged a
virtual parade across the English
Channel. bombing the great Croy-
don Airdrome near London and
leaving portions Of the city's south
ern suburbs in flames.
Wave upon wave of German
bombers were said to have rained
explosives on airfields in the Lon
don suburbs of Henley. Biggin Hill
and Sutton and on another airdrome
at Maidstone. Kent.
The semi official commentary
Dienst aus Deutschland said IS bar
rage balloons were destroyed in the
week ending Saturday.
The same source said vessels total
ing 10000 tons had been destroyed
in the same period in the war on
British shipping.
German submarines. it was said,
accounted for well over 100000 tons
Of this total-the weekly goal which
the navy set itself months ago.
Waters Declared War Zone.
Nazi commentators said imposi-
tion of a total blockade on England
formally announced Saturday, had
placed Britain in the position in
which her leaders hoped to place
Germany at the beginning of the
conflict.
The waters all about England,
which she previously regarded as
her protection, have now become a
real battle zone where death and
destruction menace everyone" said
the semi official Diplomatisch-P Poll
tische Korrespondenz
Submarines, torpedo speedboats
and warplanes were said to be CO.
operating in an intensified effort to
isolate England and prevent all ships
from touching her shores.
Official circles disclosed that while
Ireland lies within the blockaded
zone, proposals have been made to
the Dublin government to exempt
its shipping.
A spokesman said Ireland, for ex-
ample, might advise Germany daily
about Irish ships and their move
ments and Germany would instruct
her air and naval forces to permit
them safe passage.

thing as worrying too much
about events over which we
have no control.
Of course, no responsible per-
son would recommend that we
adopt the Ostrich" defense and
simply hide from the facts.
Perhaps there is a sane middle
course-a way to keep our eyes

old term 'Yanks,' which up to then
had meant men from north Of the
Mason-Dixion line. Soldiers from
Georgia and Alabama began refer
ring to themselves as 'Yanks>' Now
even Signal Corps or Cavalry men
are referred to as 'doughboys.'
The major went on to explain that
saluting still is considered good fo1m
in the Army and is practically re-
quirement in its old precise form
while on garrison duty.
"Of course, you've noticed it's
pretty sloppy around here" he COM
ments. But the American Army
never paid much attention to it in
the field"
That does not exactly check with
memories of 1918 and few sad K. P.

DEFENSE: WHAT AS WELL
AS HOW

Universities, colleges and technical
schools recognize that they should do
what they can by intensive, emergen-
cy instruction to prepare men for es-
sential positions in industry and else
where, as a part of national defense.
But they see that more is required, as
DR.. Harvey Nathaniel Davis, presi-
dent Of Stevens Institute of Technol-
ogy, at Hoboken, New Jersey, pointed
out the other day. After outlining the
role of education in defense, he said:
Let us never forget that we are
educating men to defend the funda-
mental principle that Individual
men have not only rights and priv
ileges, but also responsibilities and
duties in their relations with other
