Danube Closing Cuts
Best Nazi Route of
Supply TO Troops
Material to Balkans Can
Move Only by Plane or
One RuiIrood

The closing Of the Danube cuts
one of Germany'S best line OF COM
munications with her expeditionary
force in Bulgaria and puts great diff
ficulties in the way of a movement
of oil from Rumanian fields to Ger
man territory.
The Danube is an international
river" flowing beside or in Germany,
Hungary, Yugoslavia, Rumania and
Bulgaria. AS long as traffic keeps to
the rivers center, it is by treaty
open to all countries.
To move supplies from Germany
to the Balkans. the Germans denied
use of the Danube. can transport
material in only arplanes Or one
railway. Railroads are subject 10
control completely by the govern
ments of the countries they cross.
The Danube has been open to traf-
fic between Vienna and Bucharest
for month now, although some
ice remains in the river, it is under
stood here.
Step Called Courageous"
The step was described here as
courageous" action that could
have far-reaching effects, either in
limiting Germany's Balkan strength
or in pushing Germany into making
definite move against Yugoslavia.
Under existing treaties and agree
ments, no government of country
touching the Danube has the right
to close it to traffic. except after
consultation with the other riparian
governmentS-unleS in time of
emergency or war.
Since the outbreak of the present
European war, Germany has at
tempted to dominate the control of
the Danube. The membership of
France and England in the Danubian
International Commission was sew
cred through German machination
shortly after the war declarations of
September. 1889.
Since then regular sight along
the course of the Danube has been
the travel east and west of long
lines of barges, as many as 10 in a
string, pulled by tugboat loaded
WITH materials for Germany or for
German troops.
Russia Made Demand.
An early meeting of the present
commission on the Danube had been
calico prior to the reported Yugo-
slav action. The problem of con-
troll of the river has been muddled
since the Russian government made
demand in February for a voice
in the commission.
The Russian seizure of BesSarabia
from Rumania has brought the
Russian boundary to the Pruth
River. which is a northern tributary
of the Danube.
Italy, too, has voice in Danube
affairs-her reward for axis part
nership with Germany.
The Observation-Disclosures of the
Danube was first decided on after
the Crimean War, in the treaty of
Paris of 1856. 1t was reaffirmed at
the treaty of Versailles in 1919, after
the central powers during the World
War had rearranged the control of
the Danube to suit themselves-as
Berlin has done during the present
war.
During the last two years of the
World War the central powers held
all the territory along the full course
of the Danube. That is not true
now. Not only is Yugoslavia inde-
pendent, but Hungary still maintains
semblance of independence.

its stern resting on the bottom OF
Suda Bay, and its decks under the

They said this indicated one of the
British ships hit and destroyed
in the attack on shipping in the
harbor was a tanker loaded with

their great speed and very small

plosives against enemy ships,

Pope to Receive MatSuoka.

Vatican City authorities announced
today that Pope Plus XII would re-
ceive japanese Foreign Minister
Yosuke Matsuoka in an official audi
ence next Wednesday.
Evening star., 1941-03-29

In speech at Brighton, Eng
land, A. v. Alexander, First Lord
of the Admiralty, told his audi
ence the news of the battle and,
referring to the battleship and
two cruisers, said: Il hope may
be they are sunk. 1 don't think
there is much left of their de-
stroyers.
When the R A F. attacked the
Italian naval base at Taranto on
the night of November Hip, it was
stated, aerial torpedoes left one bat
tleship of the new Littorio class
badly down by the bows while
another bsttleship of the 23622-ton
Conte di Cavour class was beached
with her stern and turret under
water, the British claimed.
Two cruisers were also listed as
badly damaged. The British COM
munioue at that time said "the
total strength of the Italian battle
feet was six battleships, two of the
Littorio class and four of
the recently reconstructed Cavour
class" AS a result of the attack,
the Admiralty added, probably only
three Italian battleships were left
effective.
The British announced that on
November 81 they had caught an
Italian SQUADRON at sea west OF
Sardinia and scored hits on new
battleship, four cruisers and two
destroyers before the Italians es-
capped.
Since then they have repeatedly
told of patroling the Mediterranean
in a vain effort to lure the Italian
feet out OF port.

ermen were supported by some
Canadian sportsmen's clubs. In
their own defense. commercial
fishermen insisted that they could

from the good fish to carry them

as being the best in many years.

The bobcat most recently bagged
