England:
At Crossroads

The sending of Anthony Eden into
Turkey was no empty gesture on the
part of England, but vital move
in the war as the nation approached
what appeared to be its most dan
gerous parting of the ways.
The Nazi move in the Balkans,
plus the infiltration into Italy, plus
the move into Spain, plus the ap-
pearance of German troops in At
RIGA, plus the removal of French citi-
zens from the invasion coast, all
pointed in different directions and
tended to place English war direc-
tors on the horns of a dilemma.
1t appeared that the British must
decide ID whether to extend and
continue their successful drive in
Africa; (2) whether to concentrate
on defense of the channel and fight
ing the submarine menace; (3)
whether to tighten the African force
by sending troops to strengthen the
defense of Greece and to the aid of
Turkey. -
Most British leaders did not be-
1ieve that all of these varied objec-
tives could be accomplished at the
same time. They viewed with dread
the possibility that one or another
of these German spearheads might

LEASE-LEND:
FiIibuster

Senators opposing the lease-lend
bill, H.R. 1776, refused to call it a
filibuster, but the length and viru-
lence of opposition speeches sound
ed very like one, and charges that
filibuster methods were being used
came freely from desks on the ad-
ministration side.
Leaders in the fight against the bill
were Senators Wheeler, Hiram
Johnson and Gerald P. Nye, with
considerable unexpected help from
various others, including Senator
Reynolds of North Carolina.
Many of these senators were TAX
ing radio time to carry their fight
to the people. and there were indi-
cations that the bill was getting
much more bitter opposition on the
senate floor than had been expected.
Much of this battling took place
on a very high plane, with little per-
sonal mud throwing and calling of
names. Both opponents and pro-
ponents of the measure were setting
themselves UP as patriots, the OPP
ponents vigorously denying that
they were pro-German, and all of
them were very much anti-Hitler
and anti-oppression.
Both opponents and proponents
were demanding that America arm,
and the latter claimed America
could do this best while giving all
out aid to Britain, through the speed
ing up of American industry. The
former contended that this would,
on the other hand, weaken this ma
ton, and shed the blood of "our
boys" on foreign battlefields.
The administration forces seemed
to be sitting back, highly confident,
and content to let the storm Of OPP
position blow itself out, perhaps win
ing nothing more than a few amend
ments.

MARTIN DIES:

BALKANS:
Lose apiece

Bulgaria lost its autonomy to all
practical purposes when Bogdan
Philoff and Won Ribbentrop signed
a dramatic treaty through which the
Bulgars officially joined the Rome
Berlin Axis 'for the duration"
This was widely viewed as an un-
willing surrender, but move which
could hardly be criticized by fair
minded persons, as it was a sur
render to a pistol held firmly to a
nations heart.
Russia, however, felt otherwise.
Shortly after the pact was signed
and the Nazi troops had entered Bull
garia, that nation was handed mes
sage from the soviet foreign COM
missariat which in effect expressed
displeasure with the Bulgar's atti-
tude. According to the Russians,

Apparently the Old Man
Vas Still to Be Satisfied

The old countryman and his
wife were seated in the shoe shop
of a small market town. The oc-
casion was a pair of new shoes for
the wife.
She tried on practically every
shoe in the shop, and at last ex-
pressed her satisfaction. The
weary assistant breathed a sigh of
relief.
But the matter was not settled
so easily. Addressing his wife,
the old man queried: ''Now are
you quite sure you would like
shoes for your birthday present or
would you prefer an umbrella?
They are on sale today, you
know"
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1941-03-13

they disapproved of the Bulgarian
action because it "does not lead to
consolidation of peace"
Whether this meant Russia would
take any action to prevent NaZi
troops from penetrating too close to
soviet borders was not Immediately
learned. London at first did not be-
ieve that Russia had any action in
mind but looked upon the statement
merely as ga mere verbal protest. !"
One thing was sure: The signing
of the Axis-Bulgar pact was to have
far-reaching effect in the progress of
war in the Balkans.
The signing had been prefaced by
the infiltration of uncounted thou
sands of Nazi troops in civilian
clothing, and two days before it all
happened, Nazi generals, also in
plain-clothes, practically took over
the leading hotel in Sofia as their
headquarters.
The day before the signatures
were placed on the historic docu-
ment Britain issued warning that
she would withdraw her embassy If
the treaty were signed.
The next step was the cutting off
of all telephone communication be-
tween Bulgaria and the outside
world. In all this, the blotting out
of another autonomous country was
carried out in the true Nazi method,
the blueprint being followed in ev-
cry detail with mathematical preci.
sion.
The following day the city of Sofia
was in German hands, completely
under German control, the British
ambassador had asked for and de-
manded his passports, and Bull
garia's home rule was ended. -

just be a feinting move with the
very purpose of causing the British
to put their chief attraction at the
wrong spot.
There was little chance that the
British would do anything that
would jeopardize their defense of
the Island Kingdom itself. Robert
C. Nixon, returning correspondent,
described in detail the defense of the
entire English coastal territory,
north, south, east and west, giving
a picture of nation rather anxious
ly hoping for invasion than fearing
it.
But Britain's Mediterranean and
Middle East situation was causing
tremendous concern, with the two
vulnerable points at each end of the
inland sea, Gibraltar and Suez, and
with Greece to be aided, Turkey to
be strengthened, and African gains
to be held and consolidated.
The crucial move in this whole
dilemma was the sending of Eden,
the prime ''fixer" to Turkey. The
conference with Turkish leaders
lasted only 21z hours, and ended in
a complete accord, it was reported.
First definite action resulting
from Turkeys concern over the
situation became known when it was
announced that the Dardanelles had
been closed. Those strategic straits,
which separate the Mediterranean
from the Black sea, are of vital
concern to the axis powers for they
form the outlet of German occupied
territory to the Mediterranean.

ITALY:
Taken OUer

There is little doubt that Italy
actually has been taken over by
Germany. This is a significant step
which several observers have re-
ported bit by bit from time to time,
but it has scarcely received the at
tention it deserves.
This movement started with the
sending of diverse commissions into
Italy from the Reich, then it was
followed by the sending Of units of
the Gestapo and the storm-troopers;
more lately by large forces of
armed and uniformed troops,
planes, tanks and the like.
These moves have been covered
up" in press dispatches from time
to time, and the latest step, the
sending Of huge numbers of troops,
was diagnosed by such subterfuges
as these:
(a) The Germans announced that
Italy had given valuable aid in the
bombing of England, and therefore
Germany would send help to Italy
in Africa and Greece.
(b) The Germans said that they
would start operations in the Medi-
terranean to harass British bases
there, and that they would have the
consent of Italy to do this.
The actual case, according to
competent observers, is that Italy,
badly whipped in Greece and Africa,
was begging down in the sending Of
supplies to Germany, supplies that
had come willingly enough before
Italy entered the war, but which,
since Italy's series of defeats, had
been falling off appreciably.
Italy was in sad need of raw ma
terials for her factories, particular
ly those producing munitions and
materials for war.
Also, severe rioting against the
war and the government was going
on in several vital industrial areas
of Italy, and Germany realized that
she was in danger of losing an ally
mot one that was helping much,
but one which, if she lost, would
make Germany close face" at
home.

COTTON:
For Shelters

Members of congress from the
southern states were jubilant when
a New York engineer, E. c. Wal
lace, declared that cotton was bet
ter than reinforced concrete as roof
ing material for afraid shelters.
Wallace said that a seven-foot
thickness of cotton would resist the
penetration of a 6,000-pound bomb
falling from 10000 feet.
He said the cotton could easily be
fireproofed, so that incendiary
bombs would have little effect.
The designer of the new-type shell
ter roof said it called for spans of
200 feet or more, with clear ceiling
and insulated sheet-metal side walls.
The roof would be seven-foot- thick
baled cotton, tied in place by heavy
steel-wire netting.
This wire would have a tensile
strength, when woven, of 200, 900
pounds, and would aid in stopping
and DETECTING the bombs so that
they would strike with most of their
impact sideways.
Tests were arranged, with the air
corps to drop the bombs after an
experimental shelter is built.

fright as he greeted John G. Wmant,
neO U. S. ambassador to the court of St.
James, upon the ldtter's arrival in Britain.
When Ambassador Lord Halifax
arrived at Annapolis, President
Roosevelt journeyed to Annapolis to
greet him. Not to be outdone, King
George went halfway across Eng
land to welcome American Ambas-
sador John C. Winant with a hearty
handshake at a railway station be-
tween London and Bristol.
Winant, ex governor of New
Hampshire, had made the trip to
Lisbon by plane, and from Lisbon to
Bristol by another plane. He was
accompanied by President Conant of
Harvard and by Benjamin Cohen,
who is Winant's personal assistant.
London newspapers said they con-
sidered the Kings gesture in break
ing all precedent to 60 to railway
station to greet an ambassador was
caused by the Roosevelt action in
going to the shores of the Chesa-
peake to meet Lord Halifax.
King George kept up the parallel
by taking Winant and his compan-
ions in his own automobile to tea
with Queen Elizabeth. The place of
the meeting was carefully guarded
by the censors.
Winant was nervous at all this at

lip and shifting from foot to foot:
