INVASION:
Three Dates

Three sources, all of them for va
rious reasons worth quoting, gave
various versions of the Nazi plans to
invade England, but all of them
were agreed that serious and des-
perate attempt is to be made, and
probably soon.
Ronald Cross, British minister of
shipping, said it would come in go
to 80 days, and that while the Brit
ish would be able, he thought, to
beat it off, it would cost England
about $1,000 men and maybe half
of the fleet.
He stressed the need of American
aid in building ships to meet the
shortage that would result.
Lord Halifax also gave the 60 to
80 day time and set it as probably
in May" and also expressed the be-
lief that England would be success
full in beating back the invaders, and
also urged full U. S. aid.
The third authority was a Nazi
captured air pilot, who leaped from
a prisoners train into a Canadian
snowbank head-frst, ferried himself
across the raging st. Lawrence rap
ids on stolen boat, and was cap
tured in Ogdensburg, N. Y.
The youthful pilot, Baron Won
Vera, said he believed the invasion
attempt would come in March,
would last two weeks and would be
successful. He said he was trying
to escape back to Germany because
he wanted to be in on the fun

BULLITT:
Then-and Now

Former French Ambassador Bull
lit, in testifying before the lease
lend bill investigation of the house
foreign affairs committee, told
Chairman Bloom that he was in en-
tire accord with President Roose-
velt's plan for about aid to Britain
short of war.
He used the strongest phrases,
such as 'this terrible, terrible emer-
gency," and stressed the need of
buying time" for the United States
to prepare.
He said that if England fell, we
must be prepared to defend these
shores by 1916 at least. He as
serted he was of the view held by
many that if England fell, the Brit
ish navy also must fall, if not actu-
ally in the fall of England, then that
it would be rendered useless because
the Nazis would threaten the officers
and crews of surviving vessels with
dire reprisals against their relatives
ashore.
Bullitt asserted that therefore, I'M
less Britain were to survive, this
nation would find itself with one
ocean navy, needing two. He also
asserted that during 1941, we would
find the Japanese navy raised to
equal force with ours.
His evidence was given extremely
unusual point when Chairman Bloom

LEASE-LEND:
Line-UD

To the administrations lineup
which included the chief cabinet
members and Bullitt, Dorothy
Thompson and General Organ
(who urged that we get in the war
right away, the rebuttal forces
brought several notable figures, but
none who produced the sensation
that did Colonel Lindbergh.
In fact, the much-heralded state
ment by Ambassador Kennedy fell
far short of being critical enough of
the administration to suit the lease
lend bill opponents, as he generally
favored the plan, only thought the
Presidents powers should be limit
ed.
But Lindbergh minced no words,
though the administration adherents
fired questions at him, hoping to
trap the flying colonel into some ad-
mission that he was 'pro-Nazi"
and "anti-British.
The closest they came was when
Bloom asked him point-blank:
"Who do you hope wins the WARP"
And to this Lindbergh said:
81 hope neither side wins. am
hoping for a negotiated peace"
They went back to "Lindy's" pre-
vious address, in which he had
showed more marked anti-British
sentiments, and all they could get
was:
81 admit that if had it to do over
I would not have made that speech"
Lindbergh's plan was simple-that
we drop all aid to Britain, disasso-
ciate ourselves entirely from the
war, let it muddle itself out as best
it could.
At the same time, he urged, let
US manufacture a fleet of 10000
planes, 10000 on the first line and
the same in reserve, and a two

Why the d. c.

When Dumb Dora asked her boy
friend the question, "Why do they
always put D. C. after Washing
TONI" that young hopeful replied
with a smoker, "Why Washington
was the Daddy of his Country"
Seriously, though, the real rea-
son is this: sd. c." stands for
District of Columbia, which is the
seat of the federal government.
It's area was originally 100 square
miles, but since the portion south
of the Potomac was coded back
to Virginia in 1916, its area is
about 70 square miles. Although
the District of Columbia is cotermi-
nous with the city of Washington,
we write D. c. after Washington
for the same reason we write the
name of the state after any other
town in the country.

RUMANIA:
FoIIO1Us Suit

The Rumanian situation, similar
to that In Italy, was quite as dramat-
ic, and had the most unusual fea-
ture of showing the Germans as ap-
parently sitting on the fence, pre-
pared instantly to throw in their
hand with either of the rebel fac
tons which might get the upper
hand.
Where in Italy the army leaders
were apparently turning anti-Musso-
lini and anti-Hitler, in Rumania both
factions, that led by Antonescu and
that led by Sima, claimed that they
bore the Official ukase of Hitler.
Sima, with his Iron Guard legion
naires, attacked Jews and looted
Jewish homes in the approved Nazi
fashion, but just as soon as the An
tonescu forces gained the upper
hand, the government leader assert
ed in his address to the people that
he had "the favoring shadow of Der
Fuehrer" lowering over him.
The Rumanian situation still bore
many traces of anarchy and chaos,
despite the fact that Antonescu
seemed in the saddle, and one thing
seemed certain, that before long
Rumania, like so many other ma
tons, would lose its identity and
simply become another base for
Germany to loot for supplies, an
other base for German troops and
munitions, another link in the Ger
man chain of conquered peoples.
Sitting right in the center of the
strategically important Balkans,
and the only really productive ter
ritory in the whole 100000 square
miles, the importance of Rumania
could not be overexaggerated in the
Nazi scheme of things.
It was another important well of
supplies of oil and wheat, two ire
mendous essentials needed by Ger
many in prosecution of the war.

one believed inevitable.

and army, and pointed out that he
was just as surely promising the
French that they could count on

PRECEDENTS:
Skater Again

President Roosevelt, sensing a
dramatic situation in the sudden and
unheralded arrival of Lord and Lady
Halifax on the King George v, Brit
aims newest battleship, right in his
front yard (Annapolis), broke all
precedents by auto-riding to greet
him, and boarding the Potomac to
make it waters edge" greeting.
The battlewagon was anchored off
Annapolis by 3 p. m, but it was
7:10 p. m. before the lanky British
ambassador, preceded by attractive
Lady Halifax, descended the Poto-
macs gangplank and greeted news
men with prepared statement for
their attention.
He read a good deal of this to
them, while they took notes, then a
voice said '"The President is COM
ing" Lord Halifax hastily stuffed
his notes back into his pocket again,
told the reporters carbon copies
would be available to them on the
dock, and joined the President.
The party dashed off to Washing
ton by auto.
The reason for the long delay I'M
doubtedly was the secrecy that sur
rounded Lord Halifax's trip across
the ocean on a ship that was not
even believed to be in commission
at the present time.
The first bulletin, in fact, came
from London saying that the George
v, bearing the ambassador, was in
American territorial waters. East
ern newspapers, by long distance
telephone, hastily. checked Cape
Henry observers, who told of seeing
the strange gray battleship.

ITALY:
Germans Take Hold

Most sensational of the ever-recur-
ring reports of serious unrest and
disaffection inside Italy eliminated
in dual report (emanating from
radio source in Belgrade, and con-
firmed by N. Y. Times) that three
Italian generals had been shot by
Nazi soldiers in rioting in northern
Italy.
Guardedly, from the capital of
Jugoslavia, came the report which
tended to show that Italy, on the
verge of internal collapse follow
ing the reverses in Greece and AL
bania, also on the African fronts, is
now virtually under Nazi occupation
and control.
That this long has been so was
often previously limited at, but that
it was now a completed fact ap-
peared reasonable and certain after
the just-concluded conference be-
tween Mussolini and Hitler, so close
ly followed by the reports from Bel
grade.
These showed that the civilians
and soldiers of the army in northern
Italy, in such centers as Milan and
Turin, were practically in open re-
volt against continuance of the war.
They were being subdued and fought
in bloody street battles by Nazi
troopers with the aid of Fascist
blackshirts, who function in similar
manner to the Nazi storm-troopers
who quelled anti-Nazi fomentings in
Germany some years ago.
A long-range view of the situation
also compelled the belief, ever grow
ing, that the flop of Italy as war
partner and agent in world conquest
would leave Germany alone in the
fight, but by no means less powerful,
for German leaders, with Italian
troops organized and led by Nazi-
trained groups, could still conduct
the Albanian and African cam
paigns, and certainly, it was held,
not less successfully than the Ital-
ians had been doing under their own
training and leadership.
