Now, my first impression IS that
the idea that there are sections
of this country with radically differ
ing views of the international sit
uation and the attitude we should
take toward it is an illusion. There
is far less difference between the
viewpoints of people in Boston ana
Tulsa. Richmond and st. Louis, Los
Angeles and Kansas City, Hartford
and San Francisco, than l dreamed.
And by and large the sentiment OF
this country is behind the admins
tration, in all classes and in all Sec
tons.
There is apprehension that we are
not doing enough. But there is
very little conviction that America
can isolate herself and be unin-
fuenced by whatever happens else
where in the world.
And so the President was right
when he said that he would trust
to the opinion formed by cracker
barrel conversations. The cracker
barrel is a symbol. The cracker bar

sands of clubs and organizations
through which people meet each
other and exchange views. The
opinion is made not by few big
names but by the sum total OF innu-
merable influences.

of the Hood as an even break. The
blow is the far heavier for Germany
in the far-reaching results, of which
Toxic is bound to take account OF
stock in connection with President
Roosevelt's flreside chat.
While experts wait for further
details of technical information GER
tain lessons are LUMINOSITY mani
fest from available knowledge. We
get them by starting with some
basic-accepted facts in naval war
fare.
Made by shell from naval gun,
a torGedo shot by a plane, sub
marine or destroyer, it is the hit
below ships waterline which
counts. All her guns may be firing
but a hit below the waterline, if
the hole is big enough, and she
sinks. Her hull still intact, she will
float, although only three out of
four of her guns are in action: and,
however crippled she is above the
waterline, she can reach port, once
out of reach of enemy fire, if her
engines are still going and she still
answers to her steering gear.
Destroyers Fragile Targets.
British naval operations off Crete
lacked adequate anti-aircraft sup
port. The British Admiralty reports
four destroyers and two cruisers
lost. and two battleShips damaged.
A destroyer, smallest of the fleet
family except the torpedo speedboat,
is fragile target. One hole below
the waterline or one bomb through
the decks, either in vital spot, may
sink a light cruiser.
But four, five or more holes be-
low the waterline, if scattered, will
not necessarily sink a battleship.
Bombs may mash up her super
structure. but only fortunate one
could get through her armored
decks to make a decisive hole below
the waterline. The British battle
ships, damaged in Cretan waters,
evidently were able to make port.
AS between the Hood and the Bis
marck it was basically an old
against a new ship of the most pow
erful modern type. Thinking in
terms of secret weapons" if the
Germans had any improvements in
fire control, armor. guns or gunnery,
the Bismarck should have had them.
We are told that the Hood suf-

all the various committees set up Tor the
purpose of influencing American public
opinion along one line or another-for
instance, for or against. the foreign policy
OF the administration. The centers of the
national news services are here. Most of
the weekly and monthly publications of
the country are edited here.
From either place one gets a con-
siderably distorted picture of American
public opinion, and this distortion is then
nationally publicized The two centers do
not reflect the sentiment of the broad
masses of people of the country, and much
of the sentiment emanating from them
Is promoted or organized for the purpose
of obtaining Nationwide publicity.
This brings about confusion regarding
the relative Importance of certain per-
sonalities and movements over public
opinion.
For instance, in New York-judging
from New York mass meetings, the New
York press and open forums-one can
easily get the impression that there is

to reafhliate with the council, from
which it withdrew a decade ago.
The separation was caused by OBJ
jections to the councils activities
in social and political matters.
The assembly deplored the liquor
situation in camps and asked that
the sale of intoxicants be restricted.
1t dwelled long on war and said
that the one in Europe was different
from any other kind of war
known throughout the history of
the race. Total war is utterly reck-
less in the destruction of human
life. 1t attacks all human rights,

life, all spiritual values,

been desire on the Presidents part
to do what he could to encourage
the British in their fight against
desperate odds.
The thing the British people want
most to know is how far the United
States will go toward aiding the
democracies of the world in their
life-and-death struggle for exist
ence. Knowing that the American
Government is not yet ready for
full participation in the war and
that no such request to Congress is
in the offing, the Presidents ad-
dress could only by implication give
the British encouragement.
The practical problem-how to
insure the delivery of the American
cargoeS of war materials to Britain
has been, of course, the one upper
most in the minds of all observers
and it was quite natural that the
public should expect a Qualification
of Americas stand on the freedom
of the seas.
But the address was designed to
have broader purpose. The Presi-
dent realizes that the speeches of
the isolationists and particularly
those of Mr.. Lindbergh, have been
making some Roadway with Ameri-
can public opinion and have not
been effectively answered by ad-
ministration spokesman. BY build
ing up the audience-advance pub
licity has been extraordinary-the
President was assured of perhaps
the largest audience he has ever
had.

Spoke at Strategic Time.

This was one means of refutins
the arguments of opponents and a
the same time adding supporter
among those who have been on tn,
fence on war issues.
The President could have Spoken
weeks before-in fact his addres!
has been postponed from time tt
time. The official explanation ha
been that he was not well, but thu
truth is that Mr.. Roosevelt is al.
ways very anxious to select a time
for his speech which will fit in with
the upbuilding of the morale of the
people of democratic countries. By
chance his address last night came
at a moment of great elation for
the British. Their navy and all
force had sunk the Bismarck-a
capital ship representing a far
bigger proportion of the German
Nays battleship strength than the
los of the battleship Hood repre-
sented to the British Navy.
When the Hood was sunk a wave
of defeatism began in America
the great British Navy, it was
argued, was no longer invincible
after all The swift reprisal not
only swept aside this new defeat
ism, but actually set up a counter
challenge which will stimulate the
morale of those who have been
confident that the Nazis can and
will be beaten provided Nazi propa-
ganda does not sap the courage
and vitality of democratic peoples
either in the Western or Eastern
Hemisphere.
The naval engagement off the
coast Of Greenland did something
more than improve the morale of
the pro-democracy adherents. 1t
awakened many doubtful ones to
the possible peril that might arise
II the German Navy began raiding
the Atlantic. The fact that despite
Americas warning that there must
be no invasion of Western Henri
sphere waters, the Nazi Navy I'M
dertook a raiding expedition in the
vicinity of our naval and air bases,
in Greenland has tended to sharpen
the need for more naval protection
for American vessels in those waters
for American ships taking the
northern route to Europe.
Challenge to America.
The American Government will
not recognize as a war zone all of
the Atlantic Ocean. The presence
of German raiders preying on
American commerce represents a
challenge to the United States
which the President without specific
authority from Congress can meet
because he Is Commander in Chief
of the Navy and is charged with
the duty of protecting American
commerce.
The victory over the battleship
Bismarck, accomplished by a
bombing plane of American manu-
facture, serves to confirm the wis
dom Of our Governments recent
decision to build more and more
1ong-range bombers, capable of
cruising to Europe and back and

craft carriers. A combination of
air power and sea power is counted
on to win this war as against a

power. That's the strategy in

British Fleet Regoins Prestige

fered an "unlucky hit" which ex-
ploded her magazine. Such unlucky
hits are in the reckoping. Between
two battleships one such hit may
decide the battle. But in fleet &C
ton, for which navies normally
train and plan, things are evened
up, say, il one "unlucky hit" gets
one battleship out of 10 on either
side.
1t was not for Adolf Hitler to send
his outnumbered battleships to chal-
lenge the British fleet in a general
action. In the audacity of overcon-
fidence he could not resist the temp
tation of the havoc the Bismarck
could make of merchant conveys in
the North Atlantic.
But this was the opportunity the
British Navy had been waiting for.
The Bismarck was far out at sea
with British battleships between her
and her base. She seems really to
have been beaten down by attrition.
In the chase, as she sought refuge in
Brest, we had proof of the value Of
our policy of long-range scouting
planes in following her course.
Triumph for Ark Royal.
1t was triumph for the Ark Royal
aircraft carrier, in pursuit when an
aircraft carrier Is supposed to be
very vulnerable as it is if it gets
under heavy gunfire or too near
bombing plane base. From the Ark
Royals decks were flown the Ameri-
can scouting plane that spotted the
Bismarck's location, the bombers
which pounded her decks and the
torpedo-carrying planes which re-
peated their success in laramie Har-
Dor by punching holes below the
waterline A single hole Is found to
slow a ship down, handicap If not
cripple her. One plane-borne tor
pedo hit the BiSmarck's steering
gear. She became a wreck of float
ing fort running in irregular circles,
probably with loss Of fire control for
the guns she still had firing, and an
easy prey of the guns of the British
battleships.
Such was the end of the pride of
the German Navy on what seems
to have been her maiden cruise. The
moral effect upon the German peo-
pie, who have long nursed the idea
of overcoming British sea power,
can be CLOSED over by no Goebbelian
phrases of explanation. At criti-
cal moment the mighty prestige Of
the British Navy is revived. Admiral
Francois Darlan has reason to think
twice before putting the French
fleet into German service.
1t is known from authentic
sources that before Yosuke Matsu-
Okla, Japanese Foreign Minister, went
to Europe the Japanese Navy chiefs
warned him he must make no COM
mitments to back abe Axis with the
japanese Navy. More than ever
they must realize the danger of ex-
posing their fleet on the long line to
the Netherlands Indies to subma-
rine, bombing and torpedo plane
attacks.
