SPEECH:
aftermath

Some newspapers who had praised
the Presidents fireside chat to the
highest, in the days that followed
began to write editorials criticizing
the President for not carrying out
his implied promises.
The Presidents press conference
on the Wednesday following the
Tuesday of his speech had been a
shock, and it produced some pretty
bitter editorial comment.
The President, who had demand
ed freedom of the seas" and had
promised any and all measures nee
essary to achieve this, turned around
and said that he didn't mean that
American ships had to go where they
might be sunk, and he didn't think
he would ask repeal of the neutrality
act, which forbid just that.
The American press began to Won
der whether the Presidents speech
had been just words, and that his
policy was going to be much weak
er than what had been expected by
the public from the speech. Even
ly surprised by the turn events had
taken, though their thunder did not
lessen.
On the labor question, too, the
President had indicated that he
would not tolerate stoppage of work
in defense plants, yet the Pacific
coast machinists' walkout still con-
tinued.
In this strike, as well as others
which were continuing, there seemed
no immediate change in the govern
ment's active attitude, the media
ton board going through the same
procedures as it had before the
Presidents speech, and the Presi-
dent himself taking no active hand,
or making any personal moves.
And the press which had praised
the Presidents speech editorially
became editorially critical of the de-
lay in strike hating.
Two active moves were made,
however, one of them an order plac-
ing copper metal on a special pri-
critics list, and the other the plac-
ing of Ickes in charge of the ma
TONS oil supply with the powers of
virtual dictator.
This move came almost immedi-
| ately following statement by Ickes
recommending daylight saving for
the entire country and "gasless Sum
days."

AID:
Il Question

Congress and many newspapers
were beginning to question how much
lease-lend aid was reaching British
points, and this question the Presi-
dent promised to answer Sin round
figures"
But one of Harry Hopkins asso-
ciates, in answer to a senatorial in
quiry, wrote a letter which tended
to the belief, expressed by Senator
Byrd of Virginia, that the aid thus
far sent had been 'infinitesimal."
Burns, the Hopkins associate, ex-
planned the delays required to set
stuff aboard ship for Britain, ex-
planned that much of the material
being turned out was required by
"our own forces" and suggested
that the few weeks since the pas
sage of the bill had been needed just
to start things in motion.
Senator Byrd got the idea that
not much had gone, in fact the Burns
letter had attempted to explain why
he couldn't give figures on how much
had been sunk, which was what Byrd
wanted to know. Burns said there
couldn't have been much sunk be-
cause much hadn't gone.
Byrd pointed to figures Of 400 to
600 combat planes a month being
built, medium tanks just started, 90
nm. cannon for anti-aircraft fire
just started, and heavy tanks not
started yet. He voiced sharp criti-
cisms of the Presidents production
and lease-lend set-up, and it was
following this criticism that the
President promised report.
But it was likely that this report
would not come until the 90-day re-
quired period was up, IL weeks and
more after the passage of the bill.
At all events it was plain that the
hiatus between congress voting sew
en- billions of dollars to implement
the lease-lend bill and the setting
down in British hands of the seven
billions of dollars worth of war ma
terial was going to be considerable.
The consensus of opinions as to
defense production was that the
country had done pretty welr' in
the first year, but that the country
was going to have to do much bet
ter" in the future.

SUPREME COURT:
4 Retirement

acknowledgement Chief Justice
Charles Evans Hughes of the u. S.
Supreme court is retiring from the
bench, July of this year. In tele-
gram in answer to the request on
the part of Hughes to cease active
duty at that time, President Roose-
welt accepted the retirement and
spoke of "the splendid service" rem
dered. The "grand old man" of the
court has been eligible for retire
ment since 1884 but he continued to
serve in a regular capacity up to
the present time. It is known that
Mrs. Hughes has been urging him
for some time to retire and spend
his time in rest and travel. He
gave age and health as his reasons
for wanting to retire. His career of
public service has few parallels in
u. S. history. He has served as
governor of New York, secretary of
state, presidential candidate, men,
Der of the world arbitration tribunal
and was twice justice of the Su-
preme court.

BRITAIN:
And Vchy

Admiral Darlan, when he pub.
lished a bill of particulars against
Britain, a bill dating way back to
World War I and the 20 years there
after, went a long way toward
widening the breach between
France and her former ally to a
point where repair would seem i'm
possible.
Indeed, the British in the bombing
of Tunisia and the sinking of French
merchantmen in the Mediterranean
on the ground that they were carry
ing contraband which was destined
for Axis use were apparently con-
vinced that the break between
themselves and France was ir-
reparable, and that strong measures
must be used.
Many commentators believed that
Darlan's statement was more or less
of smoke-screen to cover further
French aid to the Axis war moves,
and that France still was a long
way from declaring war on the
British.
Yet it was conceded that France
was walking tightrope, Darlan at

CRETE:
Its Meaning

The Battle of Crete, another out
standing victory for Germany, won
almost without Italian aid except in
the closing stages, was not only
serious loss for Britain, but it was
marking an epoch in warfare from
several standpoints.
The German claim apparently was
justified that it was the first air.
borne capture of an island where
the attacker did not have control of
the water lane separating it from
the mainland.
In the case of the Norwegian in
vasion, which in some ways was
similar to Crete, the Germans did
control the water division between
themselves and Norway.
But into Crete they had to send
and supply an army into country
occupied by the enemy, presumably
an enemy in position to send re-
Inducements and supplies by ship
to their own forces.
The hand-to-hand fighting at the
beginning of this campaign should
have been more to the advantage of
the British, yet the parachutists and
elders arrived in such force that
the advantage rapidly wilted away
and the British found themselves
being pushed back by superior
forces, sufficiently well armed and
well supplied to hold out and await
their air-borne reinforcements.
That the Germans themselves had
little confidence in the experimental
war was shown by the fact that both
they and the Italians were ready
with shiploads of expeditionary SOL
diers, and the Germans, at least,
tried to land theirs and lost an an
nounced 5000 men.
But this very attempt proved an
other thing-that fleets are vulner-
able to attack from swarms of air
planes. Reports showed that the
Germans allotted hundreds of
Stukas to this attack, and survivors
of the plane-ship battle, British sur
vivors, told stories of 20 Stukas
at a time being assigned to each
ship, and that when they went away
their places were taken by 20 others.
Now, the dive-bomber is apparent
" able to hit or come close to its OBJ
jective and it makes poor target
for anti-aircraft fire, so great is its
speed and so narrow the appear
ance of its approach.
Hence the destroyers and cruisers
were hit and badly hit, and many
went to the bottom, the fleet had to
withdraw to Alexandria to repair
its wounds, and the coast was clear
for the Italians to land their ship
borne forces.
This was the last straw, but the
battle had been won without that,
and the German propagandists took
full advantage of the fact to predict
England would fall the same way.
The Australian premier decried
the battle as simple lack of ma
chimes on the part of the British
defenders.
The meaning Of Crete was not
only the marking of war epoch,
but it presented the Germans with
a valuable air base from which they
conceivably could launch direct
bombing attacks on Alexandria and
Suez. This was considered sure
eventuality, and unless American
planes and tanks landed speedily
through the Red sea, enough to
turn the tide in North Africa, it
might spell the beginning Of the end
for the British in the entire Medi-
terranean and the Near-East and
Middle-East.

IRAQ:
Just In Time

With the Germans well occupied
In Crete, so much so that they were
unable to send aid in force to the
Axis puppet government in Iraq, the
British finally were able to exc out
a victory over Rashid Ali Gailani's
little army.
The German planes which had
been sent there were forced hastily to
fly out of the country when a new
Bagdad regime, suddenly formed on
the flight of Rashid Ali Gallant to
Iran, called for an armistice and
was granted it by the British.
The battle for the Mosul oil pipe
line from Kirkuk to Haifa thus was
won, at least temporarily, though
even before the end of the battle OF
Crete, as soon as the Germans were
definitely in the saddle, they re.
sumed their flights into Syria, and
were beginning to sit in force in
Iraq's neighboring French protecto-
rate, ready to start new offensive
to the southwark.
Again the British were faced with
the problem of how to fight delay
ing action through Iraq, how to de-
fend the newly re-won pipeline, how
to keep the Axis pincers from clos
ing in on Suez and on the all impor-
tant oil supply for the fleet.
The British had moved into Irao
not through Saudi Arabia, not
through Palestine, but from Basra
on the Persian gulf, and from this
point had driven successfully to Bag
dad and had forced the surrender.
However, military strategists rec
ognized the difficulty of q holding
campaign against an attack from
Syria. Again American aid was the
crux of the situation, for the British
hoped that the German losses in the
Cretan campaign, plus the fact that
the Germans never moved until fully
prepared, might delay the start OF
the attack from Syria until proper
forces could be moved in.
This delay, provided the lease
lend aid from the United States
started to move, might give the
British sufficient equipment to make
stern defense of Iraq and the Mo-
sui oil.
The victory for the British in Iraq
came just in time, but the British
wondered if the American aid would
come in time, also. For if the tanks
and planes were shipped, as pre-
sumed, to Suez through the Red sea,
il would all have tn he trans-Shipped
to Basra if that approach, already
tested and found o. K, were tried
again.
