the Nagi party, Hitler sided with the anti-Red group and the wheels were set in motion to line up the British.
 It was realized that they would have to be approached in such a manner that they could not doubt the authenticity of the Nazi plan. So He was chosen for this mission. NJ only was he the one man in Ger m..ny closest to Hitler, but he was alao known for his hatred of Com mlnism. And before the war he had contacts with the British nobil- ity. t
 So Hess, not flying alone, but &C., ccmpsnied by several guiding planes and not taking off from central G rmany as reported, but from Nor way, made his dramatic descent on the estate of the Scotch Duke of Hamilton.
 Hess Message
 The message brought by Hess in substance was as follows:
 ID Britain and Germany would enter a coalition as the chief part ners in a new Axis; (2) Italy would be placated with some minor pos SO jio1s of France, which would be stripped of it's empire; t3) Germany would retain a free hand on the whole of the Continent, with Britain helping to establish that free hand by joining Germany in conquering Russia.
 The British Governments answer was to incarcerate Hess and immed- lately notify Washington and Mos COW of the plan.
 The subsequent chain of events is history. Darlan and Laval were among the first to get wind of the scheme, and rushed to Hitler offer ing complete collaboration" This drew whitening denunciations from President Roosevelt and Secretary of State Hull. M
 Britani, which for months had been tryin gto make up its mind to attack in Syria, launched an of- fensive with Free French forces to seize this strategically vital region Then on June Is, British Intelli- Gence got wind of quiet German withdrawals of air and other forces from French bases. This was why the British took the initiative in their continuous day and night bombing raids wreaking havoc on key German centers.
 Fearful of attack and anxious to appease in all directions, Moscow abandoned it's stiff-necked coolness to Japan and hurriedly signed a pact in order to ensure at least tenn porary tranquility on its eastern border. Simultaneously Stalin aban- doned his traditional behind the scenes role and actively assumed the reins as Premier of Russia. Russia began massing l60 divisions on its western borders. s
 It was at this time that Ambassa- . dor John Winant returned to the US.A. at the request of Prime Min ister Churchill in order to give Pres ident Roosevelt complete fill-in and to deliver categoric assurances from Churchill that Britain will never make peace with Hitler.
 tNOTE: The British Government was so sure Hitler would attack Rus sia that Churchill was able to pre- pare and deliver his historic radio address only IS hours after Hitler invaded Russia)

British Open New Front
For Axis, Italians Soy

ROME, June 9 [P.-The British
invasion of Syria opened a new
front for the Italians and Germans
who aim at wrestling Suez and the
Iraq oilfelds from the British, in
formed quarters said today, but
there was nothing yet to indicate
whether or when the Axis will &C
cept the challenge there.
Fascist organs said the British
were trying to put stumbling
block in the way of Axis forces by
invading Syria and declared Britain
would suffer for it.
Syria will become new battle
field which England invented only
to delay her defeat several months"
said II Piccolo.
New Error" Laid to British.
Virginia Gayda, the authoritative
Fascist editor, declared the British
invasion of Syria in search OF a
further base for operations against
the Axis was "a new error" which
would fail to divert Germany and
Italy from their war plans.
Writing in II Giornale dItalia, he
said it would prove serious error,
whatever may be the immediate
outcome of present operations.
Newspapers called British reports
of German troops in Syria "specious
lies"
London soon will learn the great
and unforeseen effects" of its move
into Syria, II Piccolo asserted.
II Popolo di Roma said the Brit
ish were trying to save their tot
tering strategic situation in the
Near East" against growing anti
British ferment.

Tense of the French mandate would

Syria" he added, land it is mat
ter entirely concerning France and
England The political aspects of
the British aggression in Syria are
most interesting. Obviously, Britain

What Germany's ultimate atti-

The Federal Communications
Commission was called on today
by Chairman Wheeler of the Sem

tee, to Jack up" radio stations that
fail to carry both sides of the cur
rent debate over Americas part in

As Chairman James L. Fly of

Wheeler asked him:
What was the station in Phila-
delphia that refused to carry Lind
bergh?"
at was WCAU, I understand" Mr..
Fly answered.
When Chairman Wheeler asked
who owned the station Mr.. Fly said
it is under control of the Levy
family, also part owners of the
Columbia Broadcasting System"
Chairman Wheeler said he
thought it is "reprehenSible" for a
station to say it will put on speakers
for one side and not the other.
The Senator said he thought sta
tons should be made to carry both
sides land if a station doesn't do it
they ought to be called in by the
commission and asked if they are
performing public service. I think
it is the duty of the commission
to call these stations up on the car
pet when renewal time comes
around"
Senator Wheeler again empha-
sized that Nationwide networks have
been fair in handling the war issue
debate.
The Senator said some individual
stations felt if they put on speeches
against the administration the F. c.
C. might frown on them. He said
he did not believe the commission
would do that but said the argu-
ment is used as an excuse.
