RUSSIA:
Another Pledge

In World War II Turkeys national
interests seem to logically lie on
the side of Britain and in opposition
to Adolf Hitler. But Turkey has
usually been forced from speaking
too loudly against Germany. Rea-
son: Josef Stain and his Soviet
Union. For Turkey knows well that
she cannot risk armed conflict I'M
less Russia approves.
This condition exists because once
the Turkish army is occupied else
where the Soviet legions could cas-
lily move in and take over the nation
al government. And Russia is inter-
ested in Turkey because Turkey con-
trolls the Dardanelles, those strate-
gic straits which form Russia's only
year-round, warm-water route to
the outside world. Dr.. - -.,.
With the Dardanelles threatened
by German activity in the Balkans
and with the Nazis poised in Bull
garia for a thrust at Greece, Russia
began to worry. That worry reached
the point where Russia decided to
sign a pledge of benevolent and
helpful neutrality in case Turkey is
attacked by Germany. Following
the signing of this agreement Soviet
troops were reported to have moved
up closer to the massed Nazi forces
in southeast Europe.

AIR:
Bite Serious

The sudden and continued heavy
air attacks, not only on London, but
on smaller cities and towns, particu-
larly on the eastern coast of Britain
proved not only to be spectacular
but heavily damaging.
The Germans heralded each of the
first raids as another Coventry"
but toward the last they ceased the
Coventry references and apparently
were content to let the damage and
the magnitude of the attacks speak
for themselves.
Some of the towns hardest hit
were Bristol, Cardiff, Plymouth and
others of that type, particularly Hull,
which apparently was laid waste.
General British opinion was that
these raids were certain prelude
to an invasion attempt, but when,
where and how it would come, only
conjecture was available.
In fact, broadcasts of American
radio correspondents by short wave
quoted the British army as "com-
pletely trained" and utterly ready"
for the attempt, indeed as anxious"
for it to begin so that it could be "all
over with"

production costs caused peat dig
ging to fall off in this country, how
ever, and little was being produced
here until after the World war, a
big demand arose for peat in shred
ded form (peat moss) for gardens,
lawns and greenhouses and as a
mulch for shrubs and plants.
Until the present European wal
peat moss was imported from
Sweden and Germany, but stoppage
of this traffic and the lure of So 2
bale may bring new life to the do
mestic peat industry.

SEVEN BILLION:
In the Bag

Approval of the seven billion dol
lar British aid bill came as both
House and Senate passed the meas
ure with top heavy votes. Only the
Presidents signature was needed to
start the speed of U. S. supplies to
Britain. President Roosevelt was
vacationing off the Florida coast
and arrangements were therefore
made to dispatch the measure to
him by airplane.
The President could afford to
leave Washington, he felt, and he
saw by the house action and by the
senate reaction that his $1,000, 000,-
600 plan would become a fact. Long
before the house and senate acted
on the lease-lend bill, administra-
ton advisers, working with the
President and British representa-
tives in this country, had formulated
a general budget plan, somewhat
flexible, but complete and separated
into its various items.
In fact, that was one reason, it
was generally believed, why the
house passed the request by such a
strong majority. 1t could not, in
the face of the Presidents message,
be said that the figure was just a
dream amount Matched in a gen.
eral way out of the administration S
conviction that our aid to Britain
and other democracies should be of
the greatest possible amount.
Quite to the contrary, the exact di-
vision of the amounts and the pur-
poses had been set forth, and even
the allowance for shifting from one
account to another had been set,
showing that the whole plan had
been carefully thought out.
1t was openly declared by Secre-
tary Knox of the Navy that the first
aid to be sent under the bill would
be considerable numbers of naval
vessels, particularly the smaller
ones, including destroyers leverage
in all probability mosquito boats,
trawlers and converted private
yachts.

FLEET:
On the Loose

OSIS LItC LOOSC
In World War I, the German fleet
steamed out of Kiel and was
promptly defeated and sunk by the
Allied naval forces. In World War
II, the German fleet has sailed out
of its harbors piecemeal, and has
wreaked devastating destruction on
the British merchant shipping.
It was with disquieted ear that the
United States heard Britain, through
Prime Minister Churchill, announce
that two of Germany's strongest
battleships, the Scharnhorst and the
Gneisenau, had escaped cordons of
British vessels set to intercept them,
and were "on the loose" in Atlantic
waters. N-
According to some reports, within
week these two vessels, possibly
with the aid of others, had sunk
around 244, 1000 tons of British and
neutral shipping, particularly some
vessels repeatedly loaded with lend
lease aid to Britain.
The warning of Churchill that
some German war vessels might be
expected to act within American
neutrality zone waters was followed
dramatically by the announcement
that two of the Nazi navy's capital
ships were rowing the high seas, OBJ
viously looking for easy prey in I'M
protected conveys.
For, under the British convoy sys-
tenn 40 to so vessels meet at Halifax
or some similar port as far out as
possible into the eastern Atlantic,
and from there are conveyed some
distance from land, after which the
pitifully small conveying force re-
turns to port after which the convoy
is ION its own" until some point
where it is picked up, say, 500 to
700 miles off the Irish coast, by an
other, also pitifully small convoy.
It has been somewhere between
these points, according to Churchill,
that the Scharnhorst and the Gneise-
nau, frst-line battleships, with which
destroyers and cruisers would be un-
able to cope, that the heavy current
sinkings had been done.

director of the state agricultural ex-

The eastern part of the state and
Fairfield county are the chief
sources, and recent tests show that
deposits range in size from one to
hundreds of acres and from / to 40
feet in depth.
For years farmers have used peat
as a conditioner for sandy soils and
as a litter for poultry. Increased

FOOD:
For the Hungry

After much discussion pro and
con, evidently with British approval,
the state department finally allowed
two French vessels to sail from U. S.
ports for unoccupied France with
-four.
There were positive stipulations
demanded by state department of
ficials:
l. These shipments had to be sent
solely to unoccupied ports.
2. Every pound of food so sent
must be distributed within unoccu-
pied France to its ultimate destina-
ton under the direct supervision of
the American Red Cross.
8. Not a single pound of similar or
equivalent foodstuffs to be permitted
to pass from unoccupied France to
occupied France.
4. These ships must be ordered to
return Immediately to the United
States.
The state department apparently
had been able to win British approx
al for this plan to Succor the hungry
in southern France because of the
second of these stipulations.
The situation was rather that of a
man who makes a loan to a good
friend whom he knows is a bad
risk on the theory that if it is not
repaid, then the lender will have a
good excuse not to lend again.
British advisers to the state de-
partment had warned the u. S. of
this type of shipment that the prob
able result would be that German
authorities in occupied France
would grab considerable amounts of
the foodstuffs themselves, or else
would demand the release of larger
quantities of raw materials suitable
for munitions manufacture in lieu
of the food itself.
Whether the Red Cross officials
would be able to detect such a latter
move was much of question. But,
apparently, the British were re-
signed to this eventuality.

UNITED STATES:
An A1is Foe

1t made hardly a ripple in the
United States that Italian and Nazi
papers were openly listing this
country as among the Axis "foes."
Said one Fascist organ:
''The democratic powers wanted
the war and now must undergo de-
feats and ruin. The Italian revolu-
ton, begun % years ago, is today a
world revolution"
A Milan paper said: "The new
Europe will not forget at the oppor-
tune moment President Roosevelt's
action and from now on assign such
powerful arms to the duty of iqui-
dating with it's victory over the Lon
don democracies, also the spurious
democratic remnants across the
ocean,"
These were typical of the other
thinly yelled threats that American
democracy was to be included with
that of England and Greece and Chi
ma in the general overthrow by the
Axis powers, assuming victory to
be certain.
Yet little Jugoslavia, even while
apparently ready much against its
will to sign up with the Axis, was
making such a spectacle of the sign
ing that Germany and Italy could
have no slightest doubt that it was
being done under the strongest
duress.
In fact, Jugoslavia held back so
long and so obdurately that it was
evident she was hoping against hope
that Germany would move over the
Bulgarian border and that British
forces, by engaging the Nazi hordes,
would enable the Serbs to do bit
of fighting on their own, along with
their friends, the non-Axis neigh
borS.
There was some talk that Russia
was friendly to such an idea and
that this was giving the Yugoslavs
additional courage to hold out.
But hold out they did, even in the
vital meeting of the cabinet when
the vote for signing up was to be
taken.
Jugoslavia might give in, the word
went plainly out to the Axis, but
she would give in unwillingly.

AIR:
And Propaganda

Communications experts in Wash
ington were studying a knotting
problem, the question of alien prop
uganda over the short wave radio.
This was a particularly acute
problem not so much in the terri
torial United States as in Latin
America, where it was reported that
many stations were being set up by
Communistic and Axis powers geS-
orally to attempt to wean public
opinion away from democratic
thinking.
