INVASION OF HOLLAND

First plan for an invasion of the Continent was landing in Hol- land. This, it was figured, would get sympathetic support from the Dutch; would create second front requiring Hitler to divert part of his troops and airplanes from the Russian front.
 The original British idea was to have the United States cooperate in a landing force. This. however, scarcely got beyond the informal suggestion stage. It was immedi-

 Tn the first place, he believed that the Russian army was much better and more effectively me- chanized than anybody suspected. The Russians, for years, had been positive that some day they would have to fight the Germans and they were not lulled into passivity by Hitler,s overtures of friendship and cooperation.

Pacific War Inevitable
Now, Chinese Paper Says

CHUNGKING, April IA CP.-The
influential Chinese newspaper Ia
Kung Pao declared today that war
in the Pacific now Is inevitable as
a result Of the Japanese-Soviet
Russian neutrality pact signed yes
terday in Moscow.
The paper headlined news Of the

Japan" and declared that the con-
ference at Singapore between Brit
ish Ambassador to China Sir Archi-
bald John Kerr Clark Kerr, and
British military and naval officials
would have to weigh carefully the
implications Of the accord.
A source close to high Chinese
military authorities expressed con-
fldence that any new Japanese drive
in China resulting from the treaty
could be handled successfully by
the Chinese and added that the
pact must be regarded as merely
an incident in the four-year strug-
gle in China

company has already bofted down

Schools for Firemen.
In asking for funds to train ex-
isting personnel, the committee re-
vealed that the War Department
expects in the very near future to
establish schools in several regions
of the various corps areas to train
firemen in highly specialized fire
fighting problems, particularly those
relating to protection against in
cendiary bombs. 1t was the COM
mittee's idea that the $4,000 would
finance the training of certain
officers of the District Fire Depart
ment at such schools. The training
of at least 10 men in these courses
was contemplated.
Organization of auxiliary fire
fighting forces was foreseen by the
committee, but it was thought such
activity could be conducted without
large expense to the District.
The committee earnestly hoped
there will never be such an emer-
gency," and added, IF not, the Dis

Nearly all sinkings, which the
Nazi spokesmen declared Hitler's
answer to the injunction to our
Navy commanders to shoot first
appeared to have occurred previous
to the Presidents warning. CT
course, this situation may change
before this letter is published, but
the period of Quiescence is not the
less significant.
Meanwhile, thousands of tons of
supplies of all sorts have reached
our friends overseas, and more is
on the way. Flocks of planes
have been ferried across the
oceans, East and West, by their
own wings. For reasons of military
precaution the exact numbers
may not be made public, but there
is no record so far of any of these
failing to reach its destination be-
cause of the German blockade.
All of which is definite evidence
that the Presidents notice to
Nazi marauders to keep out of our
way, was not wasted.
