England Hopes that L. :.
Navy Will Give Help

Latest word from England is
TO effect that the English hope
the American navy will render
more and armed service in the
war. StresSing that Axis attack
on the USS Greer and sinking o
an American ship load of arms
for Britain in the Red Sea was
justification for expecting the
US. to take a more active part
in the war.

With hope that one will finally
get in her hair.
That the Germans have been
del bcrately sinking American
ship in the Red Sea merely to
ind out what sort Of orders the
is. navy has in such cases is a
afc bet. And that they hav,
ound out is equally well found.
Operations in the future by the
German subs will reveal to u
what Hitler is going to do about
t. Plainly he does not want Us
in the war on d shooting basis.
The fact is now established that
the Russian incident will settle
down for a winter at least, thus
the Reds will have a chance to
demonstrate their claims that
any invader caught by the
ferocious northern winter is or
the way to determination.

World Affairs


The attempt at torpedoing of
the USS Greer last week is Il
typical German trick. 1t had as
its aim drawing enough OF the
US. fleet from the Pacific TO
give the Japanese Il chance to
outnumber the remainder. 1t had
an auXil airy aim, to show the
Japs that the Germans are not
afraid of the U. S.
German professions that the
Greer fired first are so thin no
body with intelligence believes
it was intended to be believed
by anybody.
The incident may we'll mark
start of American participation
in the war on a shooting basis.
The most touchy American sore
spot is freedom of the seas and
fight more quickly than to make
a joke of it
Temper of the navy will be
made hair-trigger and it will
be most watchful now on. The
Atlantic squadron working in
cooperation with the British
grand fleet is more than enough
to cope with the tiny German
fleet and the ruse failed.
With both the American and
British navy hunting down ant
sinking on sight anything that
flies the German flag the block
AIDE will quickly become joke.
There are rumors that Hitler
is getting together huge volun-
ter army, mostly of Frenchmen
to use in invading the rest of
the world after he has finished
Russia. All over the conquered
nations volunteers are being
sought. Success of this trick is
greater than one would suspect.
However, if Hitler had every
man on the continent on his
side which he hasn't, there is no
bridge to England and the A
mericas.
Hitler believes in astrologers
and is very superstitious. He
had his own death forecast for
1941. Taking such tripe seriou-
ly as he does, with 1941 nearing
its end, we may keep this in
significant matter in mind.
There can be small chance of
Russia being beaten this year.
The way the despised Reds have |
taken completely apart some of |
the finest German divisions has
even made some people suspect |
it will be Hitler who is beaten in |
the end.
The Russians have plenty of |
men and arms and are fighting |
without sign of weakening OF |
falling apart morally. Stain
announced that soon he will put |
$4,000, 900 MORE men in tn,
field all well-armed as the mel
now there. This enormous force
is more than twice as many mer
as Hitler ever had and if they
fight with anywhere near thu
bravery of the men who have
stalled the German army thel
will soon exterminate the Who'll, |
German race for any one Ger
man will have about five Rec
after his Scalp-nOt to mention
the fact that almost every boy,
ancient and woman in all Russia
not only knows how to use gun.
but has one apiece. There are
no non-combatants in this war
Aside from the Greer incident
little has occurred to take A
merican eyes off Japan. Delibcrtc
defiance of Japan was much
more probable than any seriou,
Russian need for gasoline that
was sent right by Japan's door
to the Russians in the Far East
