Germany Very Bitter
 Toward United States
Continued from Page l.)

NConunuco tance against the fundamental new world order.
 'aThe worldwide extension of American interference efforts has become evident through simultan- eous U. 8. partisanship for Britain and for China.
 "For that reason the power -block of the three-power pact IS definite ly c defensive undertaking with the sole objective of keeping two sep- arate wars in Europe and the Far East within their bounds.
 Hitler Threat Recalled
 Newspapers recalled Adolf Hitler's threat to torpedo every ship pro- ceeding to Britain and authorized quarters said that neither Germany, Italy nor Japan have the slightest intention of submitting themselves in any way to attempted world dic- tatorship or world policing, If such as intended"
 'Matusoka's visit to Berlin and Rome should serve to emphasize this" authorized quarters said. Jap- anese Foreign Minister Yosuke Ma tsuoka comes here to confer early next north.
 aWe are not surprised in the slightest by passage of the lend-lease bill" authorized quarters said. we were completely prepared for It."
 But the law departs from the principles of the Monroe Doctrine and indicates that the United States regards itself as "a sort of world arbiter."
 "Passage of the bill was no sensa- ton here" these quarters reiterated. "We all have known for several months both of its proposals and of the fact that material already is flowing from the United States to Britain. The passage of the bill, therefore, only emphasizes in for nal terms what already is existing in fact.
 "Fifty United States destroyers have alredy been delivered to Brit ain and guns and other war material already are being shipped across. We already have known of this and have made our calculations accord ingly.
 Only ProlOngs War
 Passage of the lend-lease bill will undoubtedly mean very good bus iness for the United States-both financially and politically. Every one knows it's effect can only be to prolong the war, although those backing 1t claim that 1t will shorten the war by speeding up British victory.
 "This prolongation means in ef- feet that the United States will con- tinue the process that already has begun-of acquiring more and more British bases and of taking over possession of old England's heritage" Tn this connection we must re- call the Fuehrer's words in his re- cent speech" these quarters con- tinued. Furthermore, 1t is an un- nistakeable fact that war material Is not arriving in Britain in desired quantities and that that tendency will continue.
 Tt is simply grotesque that this bill should be described as a de- fense law Its authors should be in position by now to prove from what side the United States actual ly is threatened. The fact is that there really is no threat to the western hemisphere at all but rath- CT exactly the opposite desire on the part of the United States itself. America is no longer following the principals of the Monroe Doctrine but is showing a tendency to play the part of world arbiter."
 Afternoon newspapers said that the lend-lease bill would have little effect on the outcome of hte war. All recalled Htiler's warning that all ships proceeding to britain would be torpedoed.
 Britain Is Joyous
 London, March 12-(UP)-John G. Winant, new American ambassador, conferred today with Lord Woolton, food minister, as Britons, astonished at the speed with which the lease- lend bill was rushed through It's final stages, looked forward to an immediate step up in American war aid.
 The conference indicated that food supplies, to enable Britain to defeat the German attempt to starve 1t by mass submarine attacks on shipping, would be high in the immediate list of products to be provided under the aid bill.
 It was believed that Prime Minis ter Winston Churchill would make statement on the bill In the House of Commons as soon as possible.
 Newspaper headlines blazoned the news of the Presidents signature of the bill.
 Roosevelt Frees Arms Flood" 'FDR Signs, Starts Aid Rush." "Arms Flood Begins" were some headlines across the first pages of London morning newspapers.
 Because of the six hour time dif- ference between New York and Lon- don only one morning newspaper was able to comment editorially.
 America Is United
 "There has been bitter fight over the bill," said the Daily Ex- press, "but after 1t America is united. She has taken a step un- paralleled in her history but she had split no blood over it. The feeling that her cause is our cause has ,eClne out in debate stronger than ever. Such is Hitler's hated democ- racy in action!"
 The Daily Express reproduced the Presidents signature on its first page.
 Though the New Chronicle did not comment editorially, 1t said of yes- terday's announcements of bigger shipping losses:
 How soon the submarine menace is overcome depends not less on America than on ourselves. We can not battle beyond the limits of our resources and 1t is no secret that we
