Action on Iceland
Startled WASHINGTON

Washington was startled when on
70 minutes notice the President an
nounced that marines had landed
in Iceland. 1t should not have been.
Secretary of the Navy Knox had said
1t was time for more aid to Britain.
The President would not comment
on that statement He just acted.
So won't be surprised to hear that
familiar phrase 1.-The marines have
landed" anywhere from Cape Town
to Singapore.
The next step will not be war Ell
Their, in administration eyes. There
may be shooting. But shooting
won't mean a declared war for some
time. Not while Germany is tied up
in Russia, anyhow.
General Marshall's request for
permission to send troops outside
the Western hemisphere does not
mean he is grooming an expedition
airy force for Europe. There are
several reasons.
There is no place to land troops
N Europe. An expeditionary force
without armored divisions is N. G.
An armored division is N. G. with
out repair, replacement and supply
bases. To make an expeditionary
force against Hitler it would be nec-
essary to move Pittsburgh to France.

u. S. Surplus Agency
Gathers Food SUPPLIES

Reports to the department Of ag-
riculture indicate that If all of the
food available in the British Isles
were divided up, the British people
would be on about one-third of their
normal ration.
In the last three months the Sur
plus marketing administration of
the department of agriculture has
bought more than $500, 600, 900 worth
of foodstuffs. A part of this is des-
tined for Britain. How much has
actually reached there even officials
of the department do not know but
they do know that more ships are
being made available for this pur-
pose than when the lend-lease bill
became law.
What is not sent to Britain, Milo
Perkins, Surplus Marketing admin
lstrator, explains, is being used by
needy families and hungry children,
here. Thanks to scientific advances
it is now possible to produce enough
food Ito go round"
up until the last few years, man
has always lived in civilizations in
which there was not enough to 60
round" said Mr.. Perkins. To-day,
with u capacity to produce, it's
physically possible to provide a de-
cent living standard for all of our
people. That's the most important
material thing that's happened to
the human race since the discovery
of fire and the invention of the
wheel"

JAPAN:
On the Verge

the sudden resignation of the JAP
anese cabinet, together with many
dispatches quoting the indefinite
diplomatic sources" seemed to in
dictate that Nippon might be on the
verge of some important step in
world affairs.
What this might be remained hid
den, though British statements
seemed to hint that Japan might be
contemplating a move into Indo-
China.
A secondary guess "a that Japan
might be planning a token" as
sault on Russia's east coast
Siberia, perhaps to attempt to close
the port Of Vladivostok-name IA
nous in the Japanese-Russian war
at the turn of the century.
The quitting cabinet is the one
which put Soviet Russia into the
Rome-Berlin axis, and also, strange
ly enough, into a neutrality accord
with Russia.

MARSHALL:
His Plan

Gen. George c. Marshall, chief Of
staff of the U. S. army, urged two
major points before congress SEN
ate military affairs committee, and
apparently the President was will
ing to 60 along with one. but not
with the other.
Point No. / was that the selectees
should be kept in uniform longer
than a calendar year from the time
of their induction. He wanted this
restriction removed by congress
from the s~elective service law.
Point No. 2 was that he wanted
the restrictions removed ordering
that selectees could serve only in
the Western hemisphere. The Presi-
dent apparently was willing to ex-
ert some White House pressure on
congress to get the second provision
passed.
However, early polls of senatorial
reactions to both points we're unfa-
vorable. though a majority of those
questioned reported themselves ''un-
decided" and ''preferring to hear the
debate"
The question had broadly resolved
itself into how large an army the
U. S. should have, and how long it
takes to train a soldier.
General Marshall also made the
point that the selectees had been
poured into all army units. with the
result that if they we're sent home
after a year, these units would suf-
fer dismemberment.
