The whole aircraft industry Is ap-
prehensive about it, for only one or
two plants like Harvill are in pro-
duction of these vital die castings
The pickets will not permit die cast
ings already manufactured to be
removed They have taken the
wheels off trucks and otherwise
damaged company property. A
serious shortage is in prospect.
All aid to Britain is the national
slogan-but it is an empty phrase
when small group of men want
their own interests cared for first
Congress is in session as the elected
representatives of the American
people. The responsibility for the
plight of the aircraft industry comes
squarely before both houses and ii
remains to be seen whether the
American people care enough about
the dilemma to ask their members
of Congress to pass a law prohibiting
interferences with shipments from
defense plants of property con-
tracted for by the Government OF
the United States.

| not before. Why does Marshal List
allow the enemy to gather strength
and carry out elaborate preparations
without doing anything to disturb
| it?
That question is on the lips of
everybody. One year ago Gen.
Maxine Weygand, then at the head
of the Eastern Mediterranean Sec
tor, planned to do what Gen. Wavell
now tries to achieve. But his pro-
posals were vetoed in Paris when
under cross-examination he had to
admit that 1t would take him four
months to bring his four divisions
from Beyrouth and Tunis to Balkan
territory while the Germans were
sure to reach Bucharest within q
fortnight.
The advantage Of greater speed
was to be on the side of the Naxis
and it was deemed hopeless for the
Western powers to put in an appear
ance. Today the Germans SEEM
ingly do not make full use of that
advantage. What are they wait
ing for?
Sees British Walking Into Trap.
Here are two answers: The Ger
man commander considers that the
British Army unwittingly is entering
what will prove a deadly trap. And
German diplomacy is still convinced
the pressure on Yugoslavia. Greece
and Turkey arising out of the occu-
notion cf pr1uo rio Iv tho No,ie hoe
by no means yielded all its results.
1t continues to hope that Yugo-
slavia, Greece and Turkey will sur
render and that to start a war in
that part of Europe would be to
play into British hands.
It Is we'll known that the British
cabinet, the imperial staff in London
and Gen. Wavell himself hesitated
good deal before undertaking a
military expedition which many ex-
perts regarded as little short of
gamble. But they were faced by an
insistent demand of King George of
Greece for substantial land support.
They were apprehensive lest the un-
fortunate Norwegian experiment
should repeat itself at the other end
of Europe.
At the same time they felt they
could not afford the loss of prestige
which abandonment of Greece to
her own fate would entail. They,
therefore, decided to accept the risk.
Are we thus confronted with fool
hardy undertaking?

Gulf of Siam. Troops also are being sent
to Indo-China on the new Thailand- -Indo-
China border. 1t appears that the Japa-
nese contemplate attacking the Malay
States, next-door neighbors of Thailand,
despite the natural difficulties of such an
operation. The British believe that such
an attack is feasible, and have sent strong
Australian reinforcements to Kuala Lam
pur. The terrain lends itself to defense
without heavy Notifications necessary in
Europe. The japanese are drilling Thai
land troops, and it is believed Toxic will
have no difficulty in compelling Thailand
to join the axis when the time comes for
an attack
Singapore is well fortified, but there are
certain weak points in its defenses The
greatest weakness is that the British did
not consider the possibility of an air at
tack from Indo-China until France sur
rendered. Now the japanese air force,
