BERLIN, Nov. H. CUPD-A Nazi
spokesman said today that nothing
was known of WASHINGTON state
ments that an axis vessel had beea
seized while flying an American
flag, but that the practice of flying
a foreign flag was introduced orig
inally' by the United States.
The comment was made in re-
sponse to questions regarding the
United States navy announcement
that an American cruiser had seiz-
ed an axis mercnanjman.
Nothing is known here except
foreign news reports the spokes-
man said.
However, assuming merely for
the sake of argument that the
Washington version is correct. it
should be pointed out that the prac-
tice of flying foreign flag is a
Well-knOWn naval practice and fu"-
thermore one introduced originally
by the United States as a good friend
of Britain
tThe reference apparently was to
the practice of registering American
owned ships under the Panama flag
in order to send them into the war
zone, carrying supplies to Britain.

that Kerch, the city in the Crimea
which guards the Kerchenski Straits

whether she was an armed raider

Axis powers" indicated that it be-
longed to Italians or Japanese

Rear Admiral Yates Stirling, jr..
retired, United Press naval critic,
deduced from The navy department
statement that the ship was Italian
and was captured little north OF
the equator between the coasts Of
Brazil and Africa. He thought the
vessel had been towed for 10 days
since it was captured on Nov. 5.
and might now be in a United
States naval base in the Caribbean.
He based his belief tnat the vessel
was Italian on the nayy's use of
the word subject and the theory
that German skipper would have
succeeded in scuttling his ship
Suspicious despite the American
flag astern and its painted like
ness on the sides and deck of the
vessel, officers of the patrolling
cruiser ordered her to heave-ho.

War Moves
BY Louis +. Keemle
of the United Press
War Desk

In the midst of the struggle in the
SHOWS of Russia, Adolf Hitler's dip
lomatS appear to be working at both
ends of the Mediterranean on some
long range plan designed to over
come British control of the SueZ and
the inland highway to the east.
What is going on in Vichy is
closely yelled by censorship, but
from what has leaked out through
private sources, something impOr
tant is deVelOping There is no
doubt that Hitler is dissatisfied with
the poor showing of the Italian navy
and air force in keeping the supply
routes open to North Africa.
Africa and the central Mediter-
rancan are as important as the left
arm Of the pincers which Hitler
eventually plans to close in on Suez
and the Near East. The other arm
would operate through the Caucasus
or Turkey.

LINES CRACKED

The British have played havoc
with communication lines to Africa,
claiming to have sunk from 30 to
40 per cent OF the conveys. Their
most serious setback was the loss
OF the plane carrier Ark Royal,
which the Germans claim to have
sunk with two of their submarines
which forced their way into the
Mediterranean to bolster the falter-
ing Italians.
The current activity in Vichy is
linked with this situation. 1t is
known for a certainty that the tanks
are linked with closer "collabora-
ton between Germany and France.
Such "collaborationS" would mean
only one thing-any benefit France
gets out of it. such as release of
wal prisoners and Softening of the
staggering occupation payments,
would be balanced by heavy conces-
slons on the part OF France.
COLONIES AFFECTED
What THESE concessions might be
Is not known, but the presence Of
Gen, Maxine Weygand, French pro-
consul for Africa, is suggestive. Wey-
gand is firm against altering the
status of the colonies and the units
OF the French navy sheltered there
The Mediterranean situation be-
ing what 1t is. Hitler undoubtedly
would like freedom of movement in
French Africa and the use of the
French fleet to pull Italy out of
the hole. The latter is the one con-
cession which aged Marshal Henri
Philippe Petain would be most re-
luctant to make and it might take
considerable pressure, or his demo-
ton in favor of such "collabora-
tors as Pierre Laval.
Removal of Weygand from con-
troll in Africa would be the first
step in such a plan.
