lantic," which marked the first
major blow against shipment Of
United States iease-fehd materials
to Britain. German authorities
said.
Millions of dollars worth Of
ships and materials were sent to

SPECTACULAR COUP
Informed sources described the
naval blow as one of the most
spectacular coups" Germany has

Dear Mr.. Hearst:
I HAVE been = regular reader Of

I have read 1t with mingled feel
ings Of sympathy and resentment
for the ideals and principles which
you have voiced. To me, your
views on many things are . strange

events were most instructively
and entertainingiy set forth, and
yet, throughout these writings
there seemed to be bit Of . back

You appear 10 have the greatest

justice that your very wonderful
mother understood In her years,
and yet you seem to imply that

such effort takes us out of our
easy chair.
1t seems to me that one can
never be tolerant of intolerabIe
things. Britain. with all her
faults and failures. Is still our
nearest of kin and the only other
country on the perimefer Of planet
Earth which stands for freedom
rs we have known II.
Having Invested myself Of this
pent-up criticism Of your theories
regarding Britain and our efforts
thus far to help In the preserva-
ton Of democratic freedom. ! want
to tell you that, In my opinion, the
most remarkable column which
you have produced thus far. Ii the
