Dostrine probably has deeper roots with the American people and Is more relied upon by the Latinu Americans.
 To fulfill that pledge, the U. S. Army has brought Latin American Chiefs of staff to visit the military camps and arsenals of the United States, and has let them pick what weapons
 they need. But picking the weapons and delivering them la- ter are two different things
 U. s. defense chiefs have to par. eel out the very limited produce ton of American arms factories. They have to decide how much shall go to Britain, how much to Greenland, how much to Alaska, how much to Newfoundland, how much to Brazil, how much to Pan- ana, how much to Chile, and how much should remain at home with the result that mere driblets are passed around to each.

This gloom not only clings to the British situation, but also to the American.
 Ever since the fall of Salonika, 1t has sunk home that British and American defenses have an amaz- ing similarity. This may not be apparent on the surface, but here is how 1t looks to military experts now examining every detail of Bri- tish moves and reverses.
 In the first place, Great Bri- tain, a peaceful nation, started very late to bolster her national defense. The United States start ed even later. For years Britain sincerely supported the efforts of Stimson, Hughes and Coolidge to limit both armies and navies.
 Second, when the British arms program did get started, 1t tried to keep within the limits of the existing system - fair wages for labor, fair dividends for capital, even the usual commissions for middlemen Gas the United States is trying to do today). But Bri- tain found itself pitted against a nation which had scraped profits, property, hours, and real wages. BRITISH PLEDGES
 Third--and this is the real crux of the situation - the Bri- tish found themselves with import ant international commitments but no weapons to carry them out.
 Tn the Balkan crisis they pledged themselves to aid Jugo- slavia if attacked; also Turkey; also Greece. Simultaneously they had two fronts in Africa to de- fend-the Libyan front in North Africa and the Ethiopian front in East Africa.
 In addition they had to de- fend the coasts of the British Isles, were under obligation to dis- tant Australia and Singapore.
 Then on the high seas they had to keep part of the fleet in the eastern Mediterranean to support the Greeks, thereby diverting so many ships from the rest of the Mediterranean that the Germans and Italians slipped across with panzer divisions to Libya.
 Result of these far-flung com- mitments Is now history. The British could not fulfill their munitions promises to Jugoslavia and the Jugoslavs were defeat- ed. They could not fulfull simi- lar promises to Turkey, and the Turks are now tying up with Hitler. They did fulfill their pledge to Greece, but withdrew so many troops from Libya, that they lost all their gains In North Africa.
 Yet when military experts look back on British strategy, 1t is clear that there was nothing else they could do. They had to try to fulfill their pledges, yet their lack of men and material made ful. fillment impossible.
 U. S. FAR-FLUNG PLEDGES
 And what depresses U. s. de- fense experts at this very mo- ment is realization that when 1t comes to a multitude of commit ments and minimum of material the United States is in exactly the same boat.
 Our commitments begin with
 the Philippines, which we are
 pledged by act of Congress to
 protect until 1946. Obviously
 fulfillment of this pledge is im-
 possible. Our next commitment
 Is Hawaii, which we can defend
 but which will require an. im-
 p0rtant fleet concentration.
 Next commitment is Alaska, economically unimportant but strategically most important as potential enemy air base. Rus yNYlkf.as.k x.o al- i.nos 4laaRa 0osa k,

Big Shots are Believed Finished

Ace Derringer
Lombard and
Werber Skid;
Goodman III

oNEW YORK, July 21-what's
wrong with the Reds?
Nothing trivial. That's 4
cinch. BY this time it is evil
dent there isn't q thing wrong
with the Cincinnatis that prac-
tically an entire new ball club
wouldn't cure.
The 1941 Redlegs are a strik-
ing example Of how a cham
pionship outfit can disintegrate
from one season to another.
Having rolled to their second
straight pennant and world
championship, the Rhinelanders
generally were picked to make
1t three in a row, but they are
lowering around q dozen games
off the pace and fighting dcs-
perately to remain in the first
division.
What is worse, genuine fear
is expressed that several of the
boys are through.
Paul Derringer and Ernie
lombard were a tremendous
battery, literally and figura-
lively, while the aggregation
rode high, but this is another
year.
Derringer had tough luck at
the outset, but appeared back
on the main line until he ap-
parentiy shot his bolt in that
16-inning defeat by the Brook
lyns.
DERRINGER TRACES BUMPS
TO DUMPING HIS HEAD
It seems the entrance to
Tampa electric shop wasn't
high enough to be cleared by
Derringer's six feet four. Any
way, Dom Paul is suing the
shopkeeper for SOS, 900 on the
ground that his sight was az
fected when he cracked his
noble Uranium against the OBJ
stacle. He claims to have
double vision or something, and
that a sign. should warn men
Of his altitude when to low
bridge.
But golfing partners, who at
ter watching him line up puts,

come from behind to beat him
after he had two out In the

is in his pitching arm and not
in his peppers.
