Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON w. BURGESS,

After Farmer Browns Boy had
prepared his surprises for Buster
Bear, he chuckled all the way back
to the little sugarhouse. y wish" :"
said he, Il could be around when
Buster Bear drinks that pail of
sap l have left for him"
Perhaps he won't drink it," re-
piled Farmer Brown. Buster Bear
is a clever chap, and not easily
fooled. He may just barely taste
that, find something wrong with
It, and then leave it alone.
Perhaps" said Farmer Browns
Boy. But I have an idea that he
will take good long drink before
he discovers anything wrong. Bust
er is clever, but also he is greedy.
Then, too, he has had lot of sap,
so he won't be suspicious"
Farmer Browns Boy was right.
AS soon as it was dark enough to
suit him, Buster started out for his
third visit to those fascinating sap
pals. The night before they had
been empty, so Buster was more
eager than ever for a drink of that
delicious sweet water. The very
first pail he came to was nearly
full. You see, Farmer Browns Boy
had hung that pail on the tree
farthest away from the little sugar
house because he felt sure that it
would be the first tree Buster would
visit.
If ever there was greedy look
in any ones eyes, it was in the little
eyes of Buster Bear as he peeped
into that pail. There was no
suspicion there, only greed. You
see. Buster had found those sap
pals perfectly harmless. He
grasped that pail in both paws and
plunged his nose into that sweet
water. Then he gulped more than
half of it down before he really
tasted it. That was because he was
so greedy.
Suddenly Buster pulled his nose
out of that pail as if something
had bitten him, and on his face
was the funniest expression of sur
prise and fright and dismay. He
dropped that pail and rubbed first
one paw and then the other over
his nose. Then he shook his head
as if he would shake it off. He put
his big paws in his mouth as if he
thought there was something in
there he could pull out. Then with
a squeal he clapped both paws to
his stomach. Something was wrong,
very wrong, inside him. Buster had
been stung by bees more than once,
but never inside. Now he felt as
if a whole hive of bees were stinging
him from his mouth, down his
throat, all the way to his stomach.
OF course. you know what it was.
1t was the red pepper Farmer
Browns Boy had put in that sap.

HORE-BELISt1A SEES LESSON OF ACTION IN U. S.
Says Rooets Dynamic Program

action that have ever been delivered,
vibrates the spirit of urgency.
The fact that he is convinced that
the Nazis cannot triumph does not deter
him from laying down program of
action in every sphere. He is prepared
to transform the economy of the whole
United States in order to integrate it
with the war needs of free nation
which is resisting aggression.
He states categorically that the ade-
qUacy of ships, guns and airplanes can
not be obtained unless the notion of
business as usual is Wholeheartedly
discarded The results cannot be
achieved by super-imposing on existing
facilities the added requirements of de-
fense. 1t is not enough to have men,
the skill, the wealth and will. Machinery
engaged in producing unessentlal goods
must be turned over to making OF arma-
ments Manufacturers of watches, farm
implements, linotype machines, cars and
locomotives are now, we are told, max
ing fuses, shells, pistols and tanks.
Britain Must Follow Suit.
Britain, which is more directly en-
gagged, must follow and improve upon
this dynamic example. AS the Prime
Minister in his capacity of minister OF
defense is in a position to coordinate
the activities of the three fighting serv-
ices, so would the surest hope of success
lie in the appointment of single min
lister to coordinate all the activities in
the economic sphere.
1t is not only in civil defense that the
machinery of government needs to be
simplified
The world should heed the message OF
President Roosevelt. He has answered
the appeal of De Valera for arms where
with to defend his neutrality with preg-
Ireland heed? Would Irish freedom be
permitted in world not free?" suggest
ing that in this war the old conception
of neutrality has passed away. Coming
from the head of a nation which has
ever been friend of Ireland and in which
so many Irishmen have made their
homes, may these words fall upon re-
sponsive hearts.
If Ireland were in the hands of an
enemy, all the efforts of the United
States to send aid to Britain would be in
vain. Significant also in context of
that world solidarity which free nations
for their own salvation must strive to
secure is the reminder to Portugal, Brl-
tain's most ancient ally, that the Azores
after five centuries still fly the Portu-
gese flag through the instrumentallty
of the Royal Navy.
In this year of destiny, as Gen. SHUTS
has called it, may all these nations
which still cherish their independence
avoid the errors of those who, in the
last IL months, have forfeited their
freedom, and gather their own strength to
combine to secure for the world q new
birth of human liberation.

man military leaders are confident of
two things: Production by the United
States of war materiel will be greatly
speeded up and by the summer or fall
of this year the assistance to Great Brit
ain will be an important military factor;
and CD until then the German superior
ity in armaments will be unchallenged.
In between, however, there will be enough
foodstuffs and raw materials moving
from the United States to Britain to
keep the empire going.
In order to avert any danger Of real
German victory. the British resistance
must be smashed up between now and
the critical moment when this country's
help will really matter.
Invasion Expected This Month.
1t is believed in the best-informed
quarters in Washington that the Ger
mans will attempt an invasion of the
Isles sometime this month, when the
Channel is comparatively quiet and the
fogs last sometimes for several days. 1t
will be an attempt fraught with great
dangers for the Reich, but it is believed
that the German high command is de-
termined to make the attempt in which
Napoleon failed, but in which Hitler
thinks he can succeed.
The Germans have the advantage of
choosing the point of attack, which
ranges from a landing at Dover to one
in Scotland or even in Ireland
The British, it is felt here, now have
sufficient forces to put up good show
and because of the smallness of the
territory they are defending they could
move their troops with great rapidity.
Furthermore, according to reliable in
formation, the whole of the coast of
England is well prepared to meet an
invading army.
The movements of the German Army
in Southeastern Europe are intended
the invading forces. The German gen.
eral staff realizes how uncertain the
agreement with the Soviets is and it is
fully convinced that the worst can be
expected from that quarter in the event
of a German setback in England. In

British Preparedness Is Problem Now.
This is the military picture of Europe
at the present time. Mr.. Roosevelts
statement last Sunday night that he
believes the axis cannot win is based on
the assumption that the British are in
a position to repel German onslaught
against the Isles. If this happens, it will
take the Germans long time to repeat
their attempt In the meanwhile our
airplanes and foodstuffs will be able to
reach Britain in such quantities that
a second attack against Great Britain
would prove even more fruitless than

this warfare by air was series of leisure

that henceforth exports from Ireland
would be subject to blockade seizure

but in Pacific. Statistics reflected dis

the first. But, for the time being, the
immediate problem is the preparedness
OF the British to cope with a German
onslaught in the near future
What the result of such an attack will
be, nobody can answer. 1t depends on
how successful the meticulous prepara-
tions of the German Army may prove
to be and how impregnable are the Brit
ish Notifications along the coast. But,
in the meantime, the question of whether
the British can obtain supplies from
this country continues to be the para
mount problem of both governments.
AS has been pointed out repeatedly
in these articles, the situation of the
British transport system gives a head
ache to the governments of London and
Washington. The losses continue to be
heavy-some weeks fewer and some
weeks more ships are being sunk. Re-
placements are difficult The British
Navy does not dare leave the Mediter-
ranean because the Italian problem has
not been solved yet.
Conveys Might Be Still Weaker.
If the Germans make an attempt to
invade Britain, number of light units
and heavy cruisers will have to be sent
to the North Atlantic to participate in
the defense of the Isles.
This will further weaken the convoy
system of the British.
The answer to this question which is
not being touched upon in official Wash
ington, is that if we really mean to help
Great Britain it will be necessary to
detail large number of units from the
Atlantic patrol fleet to take ships over
to Great Britain And much as the
totalitarians may desire to avoid an
actual conflict with us at the present
time, they would be compelled to con-
slider us no longer acknowledgements and
attack our ships.
The American Pacific Fleet is strong
enough to protect the vital points of
defense of the West Coast and still have
surplus of vessels available for service
in other waters. And until the two-ocean
Navy is ready, the Pacific Fleet could
spare number of units for service else
where.
How long the United States non-bel-
ligerent status will continue it Is difficult
to say, because 1t depends on so many
factors over which we have no control.
The fact that the President has ex-
pressed the opinion that a victory Of
the totalitarian states means the eventu-
al destruction of our entire system Of
American civilization has placed this
country definitely and officially on the
side of Great Britain, subject to con-
firmation by the Congress 1t will make
the British more determined than ever
in their defense of their country, and it
Is hoped here that the forthcoming at
tack will be repelled. This would give
us the necessary time to prepare al
other assistance to England.

Evening star., 1941-01-05

Last Sunday night, when President
Roosevelt spoke to the world about Amer
icas position in the present struggle, the
United States entered state of non-
bellgerency. International law does not
know this term, but totalitarian Italy
has taught us its meaning.
Non-belligerency might be defined as
a position wherein all the sympathy of
a nation and its government goes to one
belligerent, together with every ounce of
support short of actual active military
and naval operations. The non-bellig-
erent does not make the usual military
preparations of the neutral; it does not
prepare itself exclusively for the defense
of its territory. But it has to get ready
for actual warfare because the other
camp might decide to become militantly
aggressive whenever convenient.
Or non-belligerency might be defined
more concisely, more accurately and
more pertinently as state of undeclared
warfare utilizing every resource except
the armies of the acknowledgement. The
step from non-beligerency to war is
much shorter than that from neutrality
to war.
The months of January and February
are expected in responsible quarters in
Washington to be the critical months
of the war. Every bit of information
which has reached the responsible de-
partments here indicates that Germany
is going to engage in vast military, naval
and air operations early in the year.
German Strength About 3,5OO,O
For the time being, the estimated
strength of the German Army in the
field is put at something like 3,500000
men. Of these, the veterans of the first
phase of the blitzkrieg-abo 1,75O, 900
are gathered behind the Channel ports
in France and in Belgium and along
the Norwegian coast. Some 500 900 men
are gathered in the Balkans, while the
rest form a general reserve from Spain
to Poland, ready to be shifted at a mo-
ments notice to whatever spot that mill
tary necessities may demand.
The submarine f1eet-a large number
of pocket submarines manned by not
more than II men each-lS ready for
action. The operations of this fleet
so far-costly as they have been to the
British Navy and merchant marine
have been just preview of what they
will be in the near future.
Despite the reports of shortage of raw
materials in Germany it is believed in
responsible quarters here that the pro-
duction of airplanes of all types has
been progressing without any serious
difficulties, and that today the Luftwaffe
has more planes than the United States
and Britain together. The same thing
applies to the number of pilots in the

of the United States has caused the

force had been sent to aid the Rome
partner of axis.
In Albania, principal fighting of week
involved Greek spearhead along Adriatic
coast, offensive pushing
Greeks in northWard toward Valona,
AIbonio and second drive with same
objective through Tepelini-
Klisura sector. Although Athens claimed
successes on several occasions at both
these points of contact-announcing sew
eral small towns and strategic heights
captured-it is seemingly correct that
Greeks have not yet cracked Italian line
of defense running roughly from Valona
to ElbaSani.
Breaking of this line, neutral observers
feel would force Fascist troops back to
last-ditch stand around Tirana and
Durazzo-and perhaps bring them face
to face with an Albanian Dunkerque at
some inadequate port.
Deep snow and bitter cold handicapped
operations on both sides, but reports
credited R. A. F. flyers with continued
buCCeSStS dI UldOllllS dOIh anu u ollDpOAG
facilities around Valona.
British flyers were busy in other spots,
too, claiming damaging hits during two
days of repeated raiding against Taranto,
Palermo and Naples, important naval
concentration points for Italian fleet.
From Belgrade came round about re-
port that single British Warship had
made second bold excursion into Adriatic
to sink four Fascist supply vessels Ell
route to Albania with men and equip
ment.
In North Africa Britain's restless army
drawn from all quarters of the globe was
concentrating on Bardia
North while lighter forces swept on
Africa beyond for possible attack on
Tobruk, IS miles inside Libya
and second defense point for Italians.
Yesterday, British headquarters re-
ported that Australian unit, supported
by tanks and airplanes, had sliced
through outlying defenses into Bardia.
Possibility that some portion of this
British Army with it's steady flow of re-
Inducements from down under might
be sent as expeditionary force to support
Greek offensive in Albania was believed
partial reason, incidentally, for con-
tinuing flow of German troops into Hun
gary and Rumania. Both Bulgaria and
Yugoslavia have thus far stood outside
orbit of complete surrender to axis per-
suasion--and possibility of successful
British-Greek operations in Balkans
might influence them to more active
unfriendliness toward Rome-Berlin COM
bine; demonstration of Nazi force in ad-
vance of such development might have
opposite effect.
