Roosevelt Tdngles with Newsmen : Declares
 Situation Serious

WASHINGTON, May 16.--Presi- dent Roosevelt has injected into the discussion regarding Germany's de- claration that the Red Sea is a danger zone for foreign ships a re- hinder that twice before in history the United States has used warships to protect her commerce to obtain freedom of the sea.
 The President mentioned the &C., ton of the new American Republic against the Barhara pirates in the Mediterranean century ago in naval action as well as against privateers in the Caribbean.
 President Roosevelt, citing the cases in history. said he was merely providing lead for the newsmen to follow up. The freedom of the seas, the President said. is historic American policy. The President did not indicate just what he might be prepared to do about the Red Sea.

 The Nazi communique also noted that strong British forces have ad- vanced across the border of Libya. This indicates a serious setback of the Axis drive toward the Suez Canal where only a few days ago the Axis forces had knifed in for a dis tance of 45 miles.

WASHINGTON-I is hard to believe, but the Government of the United States actually is paying war risk insurance to the Japanese for helping to insure the steam ship America, pride of the U. S. merchant marine.
 This is just part of the revela- tions over reinsurance which are breaking this week at the Justice Department. These probes also show that when a vessel is in- sured, Axis insurance companies get all the data regarding its car go, time of departure, destination, and the interior plan of the ship
 Thus, despite all the censorship of Secretary of the Navy Knox Germany has had an easy means of knowing all about every ship that leaves the United States.
 This is accomplished when Anl- erican insurance companies, be- cause of the heavy risk involved in insuring a cargo in wartime, ,e- insure with various foreign com panies. In other words, they sell part of the policy abroad, thus distribute the risk. That is how Japan makes lush profit on in surfing American vessels, even ves- sells owned by the U.S.A.
 Last year Congress passed a law providing war risk insurance fot U. s. shipping, but the Maritime Commission, for reasons best known to itself, has declined to take ad- vantage of the law. Commission members state quite frankly that they wanted to throw the business to PRIVATE insurance concerns as long as private insurance wal available.
 BEGGING FOR INSURANCE
 As result, here is what hap pens when the steamship Americs or some other vessel seeks insur. ance for voyage. The operator' of the America will get certain

SITUATION SERIOUS

WASHINGTON. May 16.-Presi- dent Roosevelt said the international conditions are too serious for him to interpret or comment further on implications of his appeal last night to the French people to turn down collaboration with Germany.
 The President dismissed barrage of questions at the conference with the newsmen today as he positively refused to be drawn into any dis cussion. He was asked if Admiral Leahy, American Ambassador to the Vichy Government. will be asked to come back to Washington, also if there is likely to be change in the status of Martinique, strategic French island in the eastern end of the Caribbean. To queries, the President replied these were too hypothetical.
