NAZIS AND u. S.:
ConsuLdtes Out

Following the U. S. freezing" Of
all Axis financial assets in the
United States came another move
by the federal government which
strained Acknowledgement relation
ships to the breaking point.
This was the order from the state
department closing all Nazi consul
lates in the United States. German
propaganda offices-the German Lii
brary of Information, the German
railway and tourist agencies and
Transocean News Service - were
also ordered closed in the same
order.
All German nationals connected
with the consular offices and these
propaganda agencies were ordered
to leave the country. Embassy Of
fcials and employees of DNB, the
official German news agency, were
not affected by the order.
While these first moves did not
actually constitute complete rup-
ture of relationships between the
two countries it pointed toward a
policy of "action-not words" with
respect to the u. S. attitude toward
the Nazis. Reasons given by the
state department for the action were
general in nature but they men,
toned Improper" and "unwarrant-
ed'' activities "inimical to the well
fare of this country"

FDR:
Cracks DOtUn

The President of the United
States, frankly hostile to the Axis,
cracked down" following the sink
ing of the Robin Moor by a German
submarine in the South Atlantic, and
announced the freezing" of all
Axis funds in this country.
It was considered a matter of
course that the Italian and German
governments would do likewise, and
while any sort of guess as to the
amount was impossible, some
sources estimated that the freezing,
if carried out on both sides, would
be about "even Stephen" financially,
with perhaps $500, 000,000 involved
on each side. .r .Ehrrg
More important, it meant that all
business dealings between Italy and
Germany and the United States were
instantly at an end.
The reason the estimated sum was
so small, state department officials
revealed, was that during the past
two years most Americans have liq-
Undated their interests in Axis coun-
tries, and vice versa.
Financial experts said that the or
der does not necessarily mean that
foreign countries cannot get their
money out of this country, but that
in order to do so, they must get a
license for the withdrawal from the
treasury.
If it is admitted that the Ger
mans are paying out funds for sab
otage in the United States, they will
have a hard time getting such mon
ey, for the treasury can keep a
check on the funds, and see that it
is spent for the purposes intended,
such as paying the upkeep of the
German embassy, etc.
The fact that all 46 persons on
board the Robin Moor were eventual
ly reported rescued somewhat tenn
pered public opinion on this "inci-
dent" ...
Further action on the part of this
country was conjectural, but public
opinion polls found the nation strong
ly favoring conveys for American
shipping, and a general strengthen
ing of our naval patrols.

RUSSIA:
Heavy Strain

The stress of German demands on
Russia was such that it appeared
Stalin's hold on his country was
cracking, if not actually broken,
and his policy of appeasement of
the Nazi demands found the army
forces strongly opposed to the die
tator.
Whether this would end in the
long-expected military break be-
tween Germany and Russia, a feel
ing that was heightened by the an
nouncement that 100 German divi-
sions were massed on the Russian
frontier, or whether it would simply
result as in the past, in a terrific
Russian blood-letting from within,
was hard to foresee.
The analyst, seeking to ferret out
the genesis of this troop-massing,
perforce had to go back to Church
ills warning, when he was trying to
interest Russia and Turkey in ac-
tive assistance just before the start
of hostilities in Greece. Churchill
put Russia and Turkey on notice
that "they would be next" when the
Nazis got through with Greece.
Nobody else, thus far, at least,
had been next. Then, too, there
was the broad hint dropped by
Goebbels, German ace propagan-
dist, that Germany would need the
Ukrainian wheat for a long war
against Britain. Churchill also had
warned Russia that the Ukrainian
wheat-fields would be the next OBJ
jective.
Another possible objective of the
massing against Russia was the
need of sure and well-fortifed line
through Russia down into Syria, also
the possibility that sufficient threat
against Russia might break up the
Russian Turkish alliance and allow
the Nazis to press upon Turkey their
demand for free passage of troops.
With hostile Turkey and Russia
to the north, Hitler's generals would
be naturally hesitant in trying an
air-borne invasion of Syria to help
the French there, and to create a
land base for attack against Suez.
The typical strong groundwork nee
essary for major German often
sive would demand dealing with
Russia and Turkey first.
There was just one more impor-
tant angle, which might precipitate
fighting, however brief, with Rus
STA. Rumania wanted Bessarabia
back, and the position of the Ger
man legions was such that this might
be the primary objective, to force
Russian abandonment of Bessarabi-
an territory.

JAPAN:
And y. S. Oil

While the Dutch East Indies and
Japanese continued their game of
international bluff on the oil situa-
ton, with the United States and Brit
ain as keenly interested spectators,
the U. S. maritime commission
made it clear that if oil is reaching
Japan it is not in American owned
or American controlled tankers.
Of PA ploughing the high seas un-
der foreign flags, but owned or con-
trolled in the u. S., not one is so
engaged, it was reported. There
were two exceptions, the commits
sion said, one group of five tankers
under German or Italian flags be-
ing "out of control of their owners"
and one single ship now en- route to
Japan with cargo of oil contracted
for some time ago.
"After this voyage" the report
continued, 'the services of this YES
sci will be required elsewhere"
In other words, it won't do it
again. There are so tankers in Pan
amania registry, % carrying the
Venezuelan flag, IL Norwegian, 7
Dutch, 6 French, and one each I'M
der the Belgian, Cuban, Danish and
Honduran flags.
In addition there are 88 under
British registry. Recently a num-
Der of American tankers were trans
ferred to the British flag because
Britain had suffered heavy sinkings
of this type of ship. At the time
the number was not revealed, but
the maritime commission said there
was shortage of 40 tankers in the
Atlantic coastal trade.

LABOR:
WatchfuL Waiting

Most eyes keeping close vigil on
national defense progress were
turned to the labor situation, and
many were wondering just what
would be the long-range outcome of
the taking over of North American
Aviation at Inglewood, Calf, by the
army.
Those who thought it might stiffen
the attitude of labor and result in
still more and more bitter strikes
were rapidly proven wrong when
quite the reverse happened, and the
seizure of the aviation factory was
almost Immediately followed by the
settlement of strike after strike, and
the submission to arbitration of 9TH
ers that doomed.
But that was not the whole story,
and many wondered how the rest of
the formula would work out, and
whether the Presidents mediation
board would be successful in
Strengthening out the whole labor
situation so that the induces of labor,
cost of living, cost of production and
prices of essential materials would
go along together.
In this connection it was pointed
out that living costs throughout the
country had only risen "a per cent
since the start of the emergency and
that wages of labor had risen 1873

Their good fortune did not

their wealth meant 10 them an
opportunity to be of real service
TO their faith. Their donations
were as many as their friends.
In 1915 they sold the land for
the City Airport for S105.00O and
gave much of it to SIS. Peter and
Paul's Jesuit Church on East
jefferson avenue. They contributed
the site for the campus of the Uni

large donations to the school.
They donated the site of the
University of Detroit's athletic
field, and until recently it was
named Oman Field in their honor.
In 1923 they gave a 100-acre site
