NEWFOUNDLAND

Negotiations with Bermuda were difficult because the island is small and property values high. Here the United States is building a land plane base, sea plane base, naval base, a garrison area, storage areas for explosives on small islands, and certain improvements to Castle liar bor
 Newfoundland also reused the ire of U. s. naval negotiators by tipping prices, forgetting that ten years ago its treasury was empty and had to be taken over by the British Gov ernment Here the War Department will spend $23,0O0000 on buildings and equipment, while the Navy will spend $9,425,OOO on a naval air sta- tion.
 At one time during the Navy's negotiations over island bases, Ad niral Stark got so exasperated that ne said in effect: Do you want our munitions or don't you? If so, cut out the haggling"
 Most island questions are now threshed out, but Army-Navy of ficers have given interesting am- munition to the Congressional com mittee about to investigate the West Indian deals.

1 that the Supreme Court Justice" referred to by Senator Wheeler as running the War Department and the London embassy was Felix Frankfurter.
 More of a secret is the fact that Henry L. Stimson was appointed Secretary of War at the urging of Justice Frankfurter. A lifelong friend, Stimson has taken Frank furter's advice on many appoint ments, including that of Judge Rob- ert Patterson, Assistant Secretary of War.
 Frankfurter also tipped the bal ance in favor of John Winant as American Ambassador to London, sometimes dubbed by diplomats
 "Frankfurter' Ambassador to Ern- est Bevin."
 Winant got acquainted with Brit
 ish labor leaders while serving as
 head of the International Labor Of- flee in Geneva, and Ernest Bevin,
 one time dock-worker, is considered
 the future hope of the British Labor
 Party. So in the back of New Deal

HITLER'S SEASON

It is the virtually unanimous judgment of those who in recent months, have been close to the seat of the in Europe that spring will bring an in- tensification of military activity and possibly the opening up of more new war fronts.
 The spring is Htlers season. It was in March, 1936 that he began the present world conflict with the remilitarization of the Rhineland. In March two years later he took over Austria. In March of the next year he annexed Czechoslovaka, while last year Norway and Denmark fell in April and the Netherlands and Belgium in May
 On the basis of this time schedule it would ap- pear reasonable certainty that in the months im- medately ahead Hitler will endeavor to press his advantage further Whether his immediate objective is Bulgaria and the eastern Mediterranean or Gb- raltar and the western Mediterranean, or invasion of the British Isles but Hitler and possibly few of his close advisers can know at the moment.
 In his latest public statement Der Fuehrer gave notice of the new and intensified that is to be directed against British shipping. His division of propaganda the winter months has circulated
The Daily Alaska empire., 1941-03-17

reports of a new and augmented submarine, force which, with Naz bombers operating from bases on the French and Belgian coasts, would cut the Brit ish life line.
 Expert opinion is divided as to the probable effectiveness of the against British shipping the season advances. It has been the Judgment of American naval officers that the longer hours of daylight would increase the effectiveness of the British in fighting off submarines, whereas the Germans have claimed increasing advantage for themselves as a result of the same factor.
 The results of he British effort will be de- termined in considerable measure by other factors, whatever the facts may be to the relation between the number of hours of daylight and the effective ness of submarine warfare. The disposition to be made of the AngoIrish dispute is, perhaps of first importance, while the rapidity with which merchant ship tonnage can be replaced will be close behind
 Another unknown in the equation is the trend of events in the Mediterranean, with the possibility that greater naval strength will be required there, and the likelihood the other hand that units now employed in that zone will be released for con- voy service in the North Atlantic
 In the same speech in which he gave notice of the new submarine warfare Hitler indicated it his intention to to the assistance of his be- leaguered ally Mussolini Says Hitler there is no doubt that the union which binds two revolutions and two together is indissolube and that if one of the two meets hard luck the other will stand by him"
 This declaration of purpose would suggest strong ly the long awaited Nazi assistance in Albania in Greece and possibly in Africa, well, with the opening up of one fronts dilution of military strength in the west and more time for Britain to prepare against possible invasion.
 We have no idea what the British government and its high military command would prefer in the way of German spring drive, but it would appear that war in the months immediately ahead any, where but against the British Isles would best serve their convenience in improving their defenses and in overcoming in larger measure their disadvantage in the air
 It was the judgment of many military experts that Germany lost the World War because her lea6- CTS were able to agree on military obiectives. Some wanted to drive Paris others for the chan mel ports while still third group believed the place to win was in the Balkans. Certain it is the front that was created there factor of no small lm- portance in the collapse in the west. If it turns out that Hters objectives are no and Ludendorf in the spring of 1918, it may well come to pass that the fuller aid to be made avail able to Great Britain as early midsummer by this nation may be sufficient to turn the tide when fin ally the attack is again turned toward the island. There is good ground for believing that the will not be won or lost in the Balkans in Africa or in the Far East, and that the longer the direct war against the island is deferred the more certain a British victory becomes.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not compeW
TUESDAY. MARCH l8

This is not an important day in planetary direction. In the morn- ing there may be discouraging world news, but later the stars stimulate optimism regarding the future of democracy.
 Heart and Home: Women should stress. the serious side of life at this time. It is imperative to put off artificial and trivial practices in order to render unselfish serv- ice to the nation and family. Re- turn to practical home duties and careful use of money should be en- couraged. There has been time tc learn important lessons from wal conditions in Europe, and prepar- edness efforts should extend tc everyone in the United States, the seers declare.
 Business Affairs: Work at top speed will enable factories to turn out war implements in amazing volume, and money will be plen- tiful in the United States. Unem- ployment will be reduced to the in- competent and those who refuse work. Banks and bankers will be concerned with financial readjuSt- ments, because of the wars far reaching effects. The stars encour- age wise provision for the future when peace will come to an ex- hausted and prostrated Europe.
 National Issues: Neutrality, inn possible to maintain strictly in the world conflict, will be employed as slogan which will have a bad effect upon the enemies of freedom within our nation. Slight or ,tem- porary reverses of British forces will prove alarming to Americans who wholeheartedly promote amity of thought and action. ThereSis a sign read as influencing statesmel, and political leaders to take a critical or pessimistic vieweof the national defense program. ! Es
 International Affairs: AstroDgers read evil portents for Britain. They forecast a terrific air attacka by countless planes. The lunatiQn of this month is not encouraging, be- cause the place of the last con- junction of Mars and Saturn will be rising at London. Intensified combat is indicated. New iriyen- tions and novel methods in nili- tary aviation are prognosticated The United States may be so hor- rified by the Nazi spring campaign that intervention will be advocated
 Persons whose birtbdate it ,s have the augury of year of good prospects, both romantic and fin ancial. Care of valuable documents is enjoined.
 Children born on this day will be highstrung, sensitive, artistic and talented. Good fortune will be theirs.

More Millions for Alaska
Seattle Times)

(Seattle TimeS)
 A few months back, American officers racing preparation of airfelds in Alaska declared, the Unit ed States was betting dollars against time" More cash is to be supplied in the regular naval appro- priations bill Kodiak Station is to get $4931 800; Unalaska $48550O0; Stka, $4,305,500. The size of the appropriations makes plain the seriousness of American defense preparations If enough months are afforded this country, the Northland will be adequately prepared for anything. The only ques- tion is whether they will get the months. Uncle Sam is prodigiously efficient when he gets started but he sometimes begins moving amazingly late.
