WASHINGTON.--There IS tremen-
dous pressure on President Roose-
Welt from those who like his word
arealist" with respect to the war to
take some active step NOW instead
OF waiting until it is SO much harder.
Such a practical step. for exam
ole. as the seizure OF Dakar, the
Cape Verde islands and the Azores.
Excitement has been lent the ar
guments now going on inside admin
istration circles by wild rumors
floating on the outside. Before the
President made his comment about
having forces in strategic" places
there wax rumor, for example,
that the main fleet had passed
through the Panama canal This
could only mean that the sea power
az Uncle Sam vas to be added to
that OF Britain in the battle Of the
Atlantic.
For the Nazis to attempt to seize
Iceland, rs they seized Crete, would
be. in the Presidents words, .
threat at invasion Of the United
States. This brings the war very
close indeed, for there has been
plenty Of planning by the Nazls with
respect to Iceland. In fact 1t IS DIM
cult to imagine any other purpose
for the tremendous concentrations
the Germans have made on the
Norwegian coast.
ISLANDS ARE NEUTRAL
When it comes to the Cape Verde
islands and the Azores, however, the
problem is complicated by the lac
that those islands are neutral. True
the President himself said that a
any time they are ready the Nazi'
are able to overrun Spain and Por
tugal, but seizure OF the islands Q.
the u. S. in ADVANCE OF such al
invasion would be initiating the IN
ternational morals Of the Nazis.
| And yet such lack OF internationa
morality Is precisely what Is neede,
| ia this situation, great many az
visers OF the President believe. The.

nipotent good, that nberty's battle
is useless!
But there are still some who can
think on a bigger scale, who can
hope for a better world, who can Y,
look through the seeming and still
believe; when faced with the Zoe
can look up and meet its boastlngs
with equal faith in their own power
and strength. Hitler believes, and
many accept the view, that his
power is invincible. Why, oh why,
do not more of us believe with
equal passion that our power is IN
vincible, unconquerable and newt
able? If we knew it was OF Cod,
we should not be doubling, fearing

they can find an easier road are

Colonel Lindbergh's doctrine OF
defeatism is saddening-a spirit OF
hopelessness that is far from what
the world needs in this momentous
hour. Who would stand in the face
OF adversely and make no attempt
to rise above it? If man did not
believe in the power of good, why,
when faced with the pronouncement
of fatal disease, does he turn for
help to overcome it and regain his
health? When faced with poverty,
why does he still struggle on, de-
termined to overcome this evil and
gain decent standard of living?
What the world needs at this
moment is not sense OF the i'm
evitability of evil and the surren-
der or assignment to it, but a will
stronger, firmer faith in God. Some
believe more in the power OF evil
than of good. Some theorize 1t is

De- &lsions on how to meet any situa- ton that might arise as well as on expediting aid to Britain, Greece and perhaps Jugoslavia were being Formulated on the basis of what oc- 9llEred ct an extraordinary White touso conference in which the .'war cabinet" and heads of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps participated.
 These major developments caused official circles to believe porten- 4lous events were imminent:
 I. Berlin dispatches suggested Shat American property in Germany might be confiscated in retaliation Eor the seizure of 20 Italian and two German ships in United States Forts. This would almost certainly cause retaliation by this country perhaps the promulgation of long prepared treasury order freezing" Axis assets in the United States.
 Arrest of Americans
 2. Eight American citizens were arrested and detained for several hours in Berlin yesterday. German authorities conceded that the ar- rests might have some connection with German reprisals" for the ship seizues. They ostensibly con- cerned passport regulations.
