NEW YORK, June II. Dow
Jones, financial news service, esti-
mated today that first reports OF
revenue freight cars handled by
railroads for the week ended June ID
indicated a new high in freight
traffic for the year despite wide
spread rains which held up handling
of agricultural products,
Railroad freight traffic was ex-
pected to reach a weekly peak OF
around 940,O 900 cars in the fall of this
year, the Association of American
Railroads estimated.
This would be the highest for any
week since the period ended October
26, 1890, during which time there
were several weeks in which cars
handled exceeded the 900,000-car
mark. The estimate represented an
upward revision from expectations a

Must Fight for Suez.
1t is long way for us to pro-
vide destroyer conveys for Ameri-
can cargo ships around the Cape Of
Good Hope to the Red Sea for the
only aid, except the bonrbers we are
sending, that we can give the Brit
ish Army in either Egypt or Greece.
For Gen. Sir Archibald P. Wavell
it is a case of a bitter-end fight
against overwhelming numbers or
withdrawal of the troops in Greece
for the defense of the Suez, for
which the British must fight to the
death.
There was worse news than we
have from Greece and Egypt when
Paris was threatened during the
World War in September, 1914, and
again in June, 1918. Yet Paris was
not taken.
Our conveying must concentrate
on the increasingly endangered
North Atlantic lifeline to Britain to
which every day is vital. Mean
while, the very fact that we employ
force to convoy British ship is
an act of war, should the axis
powers choose to construe it as
such. If we convoy clear across
the Atlantic, bases in Ireland will
be invaluable to us. Their possess
sion by the British also will be very
important to us in our cooperation
with the British if we convoy only
half way across.
Bases in Fire would mean more
range for British destroyers. Fighter
planes would gain a half hour to
an hour to meet a bombing attack
on a convoy in the mid-Atlantic.
Britain's Fall Pictured.
Both official and unofficial ap-
proaches have been made from
America to Prime Minister Eamon
de Valera to change his mind and
allow the British to use the ports
of Fire. If he does, he sees the
people of Fire submitted to the
same kind of bombing as the British
people are.
But 1t has been urgently put to
him that Britain might lose the war
for the lack of the use of bases in
Fire. In that case Fire will be a
completely helpless victim of Ger
man conquest. A further appeal is
that, if Britain wins with American
backing, the Free State may be
sure of all our power and friendship
in her support against any future
British encroachment on her rights.
Naturally, the Germans will keep
Fire under the threat of bombing
to convince her Of her error in
granting any bases to Britain or to
us. Naturally, the axis powers do not
want us to do any conveying. They
prefer that not one bushel of wheat,
pound of meat, or rife cartridge
reach Britain from the United
States.

an American boast. Today law and

those unfortunate things that go
along with labor's growing pains.
Unfortunately the collapse of France
and the breakdown of the smaller
countries in Europe is proof of what
indifference by the leaders of
democracy to acts of violence by
minorities can produce in the way of
internal disintegration. American
public opinion is not opposed to COL
Iective bargaining or economic de-
mocracy, but there is beginning to be
revealed how little democracy was
involved in recent strikes and inter-
ruption to the defense program.
