OF the japanese with the eastern
coast of South and Central Ameri-
ca, as it would force these vessels
to go around Cape Horn.
The announcement was without Of
fetal backing, yet it was made at a
time when certain Nipponese news
papers were urging repeatedly that
Matsuoka, recent guest at Axis cap
itals, make a trip to the United
States and try to improve Japan's
relations with this country, perhaps
reach a "perfect understanding"
that would guarantee peace.
The closing of the canal, however,
would be blow to Japan that she
would not take quietly or without
reprisals, if possible. 1t was viewed
as the sort of blunt act that might,
with distinct intention, shut Japan
off from any further diplomatic raf-
fic with Washington.

STALIN:
In Saddle

One Of the most interesting devel-
opments, yet one on which the
analyst could almost write his own
ticket" was the assumption of Josef
Stain of the premiership of Soviet
Russia.
The dictator of the Soviet has
never before held political office, op-
Grating entirely behind the scenes,
with others to wear such togas as
may be passed around.
The commentators took every DOS
sible view of Stains assumption of
personal Office as head of the Rus
sian state.
These views ranged all the way
from an "about face" on the war.
with Russia about to take an active
role against Germany and Italy in
the Near East, to the view of Keren-
sky, former Russian premier in 1917,
who said he believed Stains taking
OF power might mean that Germany
has a promise from the dictator of
active aid on the German side.
1t was a step down for Molotov,
who went from premier back to for
elgn minister, post he held before.
Molotov was, perhaps, the finger
pointing to the real reason for the
change. He became foreign minis
ter just before the dramatic sign
ing of the Russo-German pact. a
pact which FASTENED the actual start
of the present war.
For it was the signing of this
treaty that made Britain and France
realize that their hope of encircle-
ment of the Axis by land was vain,
and that they were really in a fight
for their existence.
The only official announcement
came from Stain, who said that
MoIotov was being relieved only
after his own repeated requests. ;"
London was inclined to a some
what more rosy view of the situation
than that of Kerensky, saying:
Soviet Russia has refused TO sign
further German pact, and has
openly taken the stand that Bulgaria
was wrong in so doing, and that
Jugoslavia was right to fight.
Stain now takes command Of the
Russian empire at a time when a
German drive to the east threatens
what Russia regards as her sphere
Of activity in Asia"
No positive statement there, but
a general view that the whole move
is inspired by Soviet disquiet over
German advances toward the Black
sea. The British believed the move
meant a frank and active change in
Russian policy.

CONVOYS:
Battle of atlantic

Mounting British losses in the bat
tie Of the Atlantic put the issue of
conveying strictly and squarely up
to the administrati in Washing
ton, and the answer was seen to be
forthcoming shortly. if it had not
already been made secretly.
It had so far been largely a YER
bal discussion, with The non-inter-
ventionists pointing to conveying as
outright war, and the administration
forces sending up one trial balloon
after another to test American SEN
timent as to whether it was ready
and willing for this important step.
Briefly, the positions were these:
Observation-Disclosures held that con-
voying meant shooting Quoting the
President himself) and that shoot
ing meant undeclared war.
The administration forces took the
simple stand that congress had vot-
ed about aid to Britain, and that it
was foolish to build billions of dol
lars worth of war material for the
British and then send it out on the
high seas to be sent to the bottom.
The latter view was finally ex-
pressed in a long radio address by
Secretary of War Stimson, who was
reported to have consulted Presi-
dent Roosevelt about the address be-
fore delivering it.
Stimson was frank. He went fur
Their than the question of conveying,
which he treated as a simple phase
of the big issue-Whether the Amer
lean navy, ready and willing to "halt
aggressors" on the high seas, should
stand quietly by and let Britain be
defeated through lack of control Of
the oceans, or should be turned to
aid Britain and give Britain the
mastery of the sea without which
she could not hope to win.
Secretary Stimson, not having the
authority to order out the fleet into
active aid to Britain, was just max
ing a speech, and could not answer
his own questions with action. Mel
Their could Senator Pepper of Flor
ida, an outright and frank advo-
cate of open war, who even went so
far as to criticize the administra-
ton, with which he was entirely
aligned, as not being bellicose
enough in the present grave stua-
ton.
So the battle of the Atlantic, while
it was claiming American lives and
American goods, was still being
fought, at least openly, by the Brit
ish navy alone, though the big scene
of the fight was in the American
halls of congress and in the Ameri-
can newspapers.
Stimson's speech had one obvious
effect, however, it served notice on
the non-interventionists that the
time was not far distant when talk
would be replaced by action, one
way or the other, and his talk had
its effect, in rousing the anti-ad-
ministration orators to a new frenzy
of appeal to the great "mass of the
people" to speak out.
Nobody spoke out, however, at
least not in any mass that looked
remotely like a majority. On the
other hand, the administration
seemed about ready to take action
which would have far-reaching i'm
portance.
There was news from San Fran
cisco shippers to their connections
in Tokyo that the United States was
planning to close the Panama canal
in a short time to japanese vessels.
This would have the effect of lift
ing a very practical bar to the trade
