ROOSEVELT ISSUES VISAS

Three and half months was a long time to delay Whsn many of the refugees were in imminent danger of being removed from France to Germany. So the com mlttee began to ask questions as to what had happaned at the State Department. Specifically, they asked questions of Breckin- ridge Long, Assistant Secretary ot State, in charge of passport visaS. In fact they made life so miserable for the placid Mir. Long that Long ev5n complained to the President that he had ap- pointed a committee of trouble makers.
 At this point MT. Mcdonald and other members of his com mlttee stormed down to Washing ton with ire in their eyes and demanded that matters be strai- ghtened out. Accordingly Roose- welt asked Under Secretary of State Welles and Solicitor Gen eraI Riddle to investigate. They

WASHINGTON - Ii has been carefully hushed up inside the State Department but recently a distinguished group of citizens on the Presidents Advisory Com mittee for Political Refugees al most resigned and blew the lid off the appeasement group among career diplomats. The incident is important because it indicates that the old State Department appeasement clique still is fun tioning right under the nose of Cordell Hull.
 The Presidents refugee com mittee is headed by James G. Me Donald Whi handled the refugee problem for the League of Ma tions and includes Archbishop Joseph F. Rummel of New Or leans; editor Hamilton Fish Arm strong; George Warren, Basil Harris, formerly of United States Lines; Prof. Joseph P. Chamber lain of Columbia; and Rev. Sam Uel Cavert of the World alliance for International Friendship It was appointed shortly after the fall of France at the suggestion of far-sighted Sumner WelIes who felt that the plight of Ger man, Czech, Jewish and Catho- lie refugees in Francs should be handled through a central agen- cy.
 The committee immediately sung into action and after care fully investigating a long list of refugees finally recommended that 651 prozssors, churchmen and former government officials ge admitted to the United Stat eS. This was three and one half months ago.
 These names also were check ed by the Justice Department, which approved them and sent the list to the State Department. After that nothing happened. Three and one half months pass ed and only Is refugees recom- mended by the Presidents com mittee were admitted to the Unit ed States.

EDITORIAL Five More Walls of England
Philadelphia Record)

Reports from London become more and more definite that the five new battleships of the King George class are now in commls- sion with the British Navy.
 Should this be true, the British Navy is once again in a position of clear superiority over any com bination of European Powers in clding Russian and what is left of the French Fleet.
 The new British ships are of 35,O00 tons each much bigger and reputedly faster than the Admir- al Scheer and Leutzow one of which is apparently on the loose again in the North Atlantic.
 The new battleships arrive just in time. The glorious victory of the British fleet air arm over the Italian squadson at anchor in the Gulf of Taranto recently was one of the major British achieve ments of the war.
 But it contained a note of warning for Britain. The disabl- ing of at least two Italian battle ships marked the first time a cap itol ship had been put out of action by air power.
 The old argument about wheth CT planes were able to seriously damaged battleships has recently been expressed in terms of Brit ish sea power vs. German air power.
 Ironically it remained for the British to prove the German case namely, that battleships are not invulnerable to air attack.
 With five new baltlaships and with the splendid British air ser vice to protect them Britain has much less 10 fear than formerly. The new freedom given to this addition by this addition to the strength of the British fleet may take the form of dramatic action in the Mediterranean.
 For the United States there is a special lesson in these five new British battleships. None of them was begun until 1887 and pro- duction schedules did not call for them to take the water until 1941.
 Actually some of these five ships had their trial runs months ago and all are reported in com mission now.
 The British speeded up compile tion of these ships by working on

British Children

Whzther this happens or not, remains to be seen. For last sum mer when Mrs. Roosevelt was helping to raise money for the care of British refugee children, Avra Warren Chief of the State Department Visa Diviison, insist ed that temporary visitors visas could not be given the children but only immigration quota visas which sometime take months to procure. Meanwhile he permitted temporary visas to Nazi business men, such as Dr. Gerhard Wet rick.
 Mrs. Roosevelt however strong ly urged a change in this ruling in favor of the children who she argu d were temporary visitors and her husband promised that this would be done But as in the recent case of the political re- fugees, nothing happened.
 Finally Mrs. Roosevelt phoned her husband to report the State Departments inertia. He assured her that the State Department was sure to act later in the day. But it did not act and Mrs. Roose welt phoned her husband again in the afternon and again later that day. Finally on the fourth call with still no action taken. the President picked up the phone and called a minor State Department official.
 Later Mrs. Roosevelt told this story to group of close friends one of whom commented:
 The State Department has come to sad state of affairs when the President of the United States can't call up his Secretary of State and say Il would like to have thus and thus done,' but instead has to call up minor official in the State Department"
