This was battle in a narrow water
lane where air strength was proved de-
cisive, inasmuch as Germans were in
different to casualties. Nazi flyers
dropped 1,O00-pound bombs on British
warships in Crete waters, but the war
vessels were able to smash a German
convoy and to scatter a large expedi-
tionary force of 80 ships On May %, it
was disclosed during the week. British
naval vessels fought from 80 pm to
pm. with hundreds of Nazi planes in
what one British naval officer described
as probably the heaviest air raid ever
conducted. In the subsequent days,
however. the sea arm found it impossible
tc hold off the invaders of Crete. Berlin
claimed that the German and Italian
naval and air forces combined sank II
British cruisers, destroyers, submarine
and S torpedo boats curing the first II
days of the Crete campaign
While the British were leaving Crete,
Rashid Ali Al Gallant was leaving Iraq,
and his army was suing for
Armistice peace. Adding to this pleas
In lroo ant news for London was the
Italian admission that the
liner Conte Rosso, 1879 tons, with
Africa bound Italian troops aboard, had
been sunk by torpedo south of Syracuse,
Sicily. 1t was said in Rome that most
of those aboard were saved.
In the midst of the action around
Crete, the Germans executed successful
forward thrust in North Africa. They
captured Halfaya Pass, on Egyptian soil
southeast of Salum. the stronghold which
regularly changes back and forth from
British to German hands.

ton about our country, better maps.
With all these pilots and planes they
will have to keep in constant practice.
I'm working to have them make conf
plete aerial map of Newfoundland, we
paying for the material used and the
military planes and pilots doing the
work of mapping. From military de-
fense point of view the map will be in
dispensable, and it will also be a great
aid to us in the economic development
of our colony"
Climate Is Healthy.
OF all the bases acquired by the United
States. extending from Newfoundland in
the north to Trinidad on the coast of
South America, there is no doubt che
Americans have received the warmest
reception in Newfoundland.
From all indications the soldiers and
sailors who are and will be stationed il,
Newfoundland are going to enjoy their
stay. The climate of Newfoundland is
healthy, the living conditions of the
Americans stationed there will be the
best it is possible to prepare. No de-
vitalizing forces will be encountered as
in some of the Southern bases.
One opinion that seems to prevail in
Newfoundland is that this influx of
eighteen or twenty thousand Americans
and thousands of Canadians will even
tually make startling changes in the very
lifeblood of the island. They think that
while the invasion will be peaceful one,
it will also be conquering one, and that
from now on the island will become more
and more American, not only in thought
and action, but in commerce and every
thing that goes to make people one.
The Americans are half way to Europe
and Newfoundland will never be the
same againl
Evening star., 1941-06-01

Rapid preparations are being made by
Americas fighting units to meet every
conceivable emergency. In the light OF
President Roosevelts' address Of Tues
day night, there is no longer doubt in
any ones mind in Washington that this
country is now on the eve of dramatic
developments.
In the armed services Mr.. Roosevelts
talk was received with sigh of relief.
These men are realists. They had formu-
lated some definite plans for defense OF
the Americas But they were concerned
over the military conceptions of the
civilians who still have so much to say
in the formulation of our immediate poll
cies. For many months there was state
of confusion which, while not apparent
to the man in the street, was obvious to
all those in the inner circles. This con-
fusion was due to the fact that the main
talk was about saving Britain" rather
than preventing Hitler from winning the
war. The latter, from the military point
of view, does not depend necessarily on
the former.
To our military people the Mediterra-
mean campaign has become a useless
effort which is bound to cost the British
much valuable war material and many
men. The British Isles themselves are,
from the purely strategic point of view,
nothing but Verdun which ought to
be defended at all COSTS Should this new
Verdun fall, however, it does not mean
in the least that our war is lost. Hence,
their strategic concept was to direct all
our national resources to defeating Hit
ler by the best available means and sus-
tanning England to the best of our ability.
Preparations Completed.
President Roosevelt's stop-Hitler dec
laration has removed all doubt as to
where we shall be going from now on.
Two things appear henceforth inevitable:
One is the strengthening of the Atlantic
fleet with new ships which are now be-
ing rapidly delivered by the navy yards to
make the "patrolling system" more eff
cient. The task of the naval patrol will
be twofold. 1t must spot Axis subma-
rines and surface craft and communicate
to the British their exact position, thus
facilitating the task of the uch-thinned
British Navy and it must keep close
watch on the Nazi moves toward the
Azores and Cape Verde Islands.
The other thing is the probable pro-
tective occupation of these groups of
islands in the event the Germans go into
Spain and Portugal. The matter has
been thoroughly discussed with the
other hemisphere governments and the
approval of most South American re-

An American citizen must get pass
port to go to Newfoundland. Moreover,
though this crown colony of Great Brit
ain is part of the North American con-
tinent, it is outside the. neutrality
zone. and a special United States permit
in addition to passport must be OBJ
tanned to go there.
There's another way, You can join the
United States Army Navy or Marine
Corps and 60 to Newfoundland. We have
a 99-year interest in that northern island
now and our armed forces are on the job.
Everywhere in Newfoundland there are
visual signs that this Oldest British colony
Is at war On the trains and in the cities
uniformed men are constantly in evil
dence, Newfoundlanders, Canadians and
Americans. The soldiers of Newfound-
land are serving overseas and the men
of her fishing fleet are manning the ves-
sells of England.
During the first World War the men OF
Newfoundland fought for the mother
country but the island itself remained
peaceful and comparatively quiet. In this
second World War the perfection Of the
long-range bomber has changed all that;
now no place is sacred or safe. Today
Newfoundland is rapidly becoming an
armed camp, dotted with airflelds-a
rampant of strength blocking any in
vading force that might venture from
Europe to try the strength of the North
American continent
Three United States Bases.
Three military bases have been taken
over by the United States Government,
and in systematic haste they are build
ing against time. but they are building
solidly and permanently. preparing for
any eventuality. OF all the bases ac-
ouired by the United States from Great
Britain and her colonies. these three were
the first to see the uniforms OF American
forces. Incidentally Newfoundlanders
are quick to let one know that these bases
were not a part of the trade for the 81
over-age destroyers turned over to Eng
land. They want you to understand that
they were q free gift to the United
States from Newfoundland.

Battle of the Atlantic

Bismarck TO the west of where the
DESTROYED bell hangs a ship was
settling in Davey Jones'
locker-the Bismarck, mightest ocean
fighter in the Nazi Navy. For 1,750 miles
che British had chased her with II bat
tleships, aircraft carriers, battle cruisers
and cruisers, helped by destroyers and
torpedo planes. She went down in the
Atlantic 400 miles west of Brest, and
with her to their deaths went most of
her men, a great German admiral Guen-
ther Luetjens. and about one-fourth Of
Germany's known capital ship strength.

will so serve until adequate quarters are
completed ashore.
At 8:15 am on January % the United
States Army transport Edmund B. Alex
ander, with more than 1000 Regular
Army troops aboard, steamed into st.
Johns landlocked harbor and dropped
anchor.
In striking contrast to the invasion
of the European countries by the Axis
powers, the Newfoundlanders welcome
the advent of the American forces. They
see great good to themselves through
the stationing of several thousand Amer
ican soldiers, sailors and marines on
their island.
First of ALL they see benefits from the
pay roll involved in the huge construc-
ton program; secondly. from the pur-
chase of native materials to be used in
that construction, and lastly, from the
spending of at least part Of the large
military pay roll.
Europe Too Close for Comfort.
Right now, however-above the hope
of present profit and eventual improve
ment-the defense of the American con-
tinent is uppermost in the minds Of the
Newfoundlanders. Perhaps a bit of
geography will better explain this. st.
Johns, the capital and principal city
of Newfoundland, is only little more
than 1000 miles from Liverpool and in
between are two convenient stepping
stones for Nazi invading force-Iceland
and Greenland. They loom large in
Newfoundlanders minds, even though
England has her own troops in Iceland,
and appropriate and secret steps have
been taken to care for Greenland.
Now, since American troops and naval
forces have reinforced the several thou
sand Canadian and Newfoundland SOL
diers already on hand, the island can
present a much more formidable face to
Mr.. Hitler.
The physical makeup of Newfound-
land lends itself to defense. Roughly
triangular in shape, it is 800 miles across
at the base. The Atlantic coastline is
deeply ndented with bays and rivers
that could easily be defended. The coun-
try as q whole is rugged and rolling,
covered with timber. An invading force
would find it impossible to make head
way even against a force inferior in
numbers and equipment. Any place that
would serve as landing place for enemy
aircraft is being rapidly taken care of by
means of new defense measures.
When the final defenses of Newfound-
land are completed, it will have the larg-
est military airfield in the world-the
Gander Airport. From here American
bombing planes are rolling down its mile

DUCK AND GOOSE
FLOCKS GAINING
FIVE MILLION INCREASE
PROMISES HUNTERS
s. GOOD SEASON
By Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, Aug. g.
Counting your ducks before
they're in the bag is long shot
enterprise but prospects for the
l94l duck hunter are compare
lively good.
An increase from 65,000,000 to
f0,000,000 in the duck and geese
population of the North Ameri-
can continent during the last
year gives promise of another
good shooting season. On the
favorable side also are good wa
ter-supply conditions in the
breeding grounds, particularly in
the West, this summer.
Although the ''kill" of the 1910
season came dangerously close to
a complete harvest of the years
crop of wild fowl, Federal au-
thorities do not contemplate any
drastic action to restrict shoot
ing.
Small Increase
This years duck increase is the
smallest since the restoration
program was inaugurated. Off
Gals of the U. S, Fish and Wild
life Service formerly the Bio
logical Survey say that while
further liberalization of the
hunting regulations is unlikely,
no severe curtailment of sports
mems activities will be necessary
as long as the duck population
continues to make gains.
The waterfowl population has
more than doubled since a ~low
Of $4,000 900 was reached in
1885. Emergency funds were
provided by Congress and the
sale of duck stamps was inaugu-
rated in 1884 to finance the pur-
chase and maintenance of wa
terfowl refugees. The Federal
government and states also
frightened restrictions on duck
hunting but these have been lib
eralized in the last two or three
years.
