To the administration lineup

Thompson and General Organ
(who surged that we get in the war
right away, the rebuttal forces

none awho produced the sensation

Bloom asked him point-blank:
''Who do you hope wins the war;"
And to this Lindbergh said:
II hope neither side wins. am

They went back to "Lindy's" pre-
vious address, in which he had
showed more marked anti-British
sentiments, and all they could get
was:
II admit that if had it to do over
would not have made that speech"
Lindbergh's plan was simple that
we drop all aid to Britain, disasso-
ciate ourselves entirely from the
war, let it rnuddle itself out as best
it could.
At the same time, he urged, let

INVASION:
Three Dates

Three sources, all of them for va
rious reasons worth quoting, gave
various versions Of the Nazi plans to
invade England, but all Of them
were agreed that a serious and des-
perate attempt is to be made, and
probably soon.
Ronald Cross, British minister of
shipping, said it would come in so
to 80 days, and that while the Brit
ish would be able, he thought, to-
beat it off, it would cost England
about Csc, 900 men and maybe half
of the fleet.
He stressed the need Of American
aid in building ships to meet the
shortage that would result.
Lord Halifax also gave the 60 to
80 day time and set it as probably
in May" and also expressed the be-
lief that England would be success
full in beating back the invaders, and
also urged full u. S. aid.
The third authority was a Nazi
captured air pilot, who leaped from
prisoners train into a Canadian
snowbank head-first, ferried himself
across the raging st. Lawrence rap
ids on stolen boat, and was cap
tured in Ogdensburg, N. Y.
The youthful pilot, Baron Won
Vera, said he believed the invasion
attempt would come in March,
would last two weeks and would be
successful. He said he was trying
to escape back to Germany because
he wanted to be in on the fun"

scoRNFUL OF JAPAN's NAVY


Behind the scenes in the United
States navy there are two schools of
thought regarding the danger of war
with the Japanese. Both Of them
agree, however, regarding its OUT
come.
One school, made UP of younger
officers who have served recently in
the Far East, has developed a scorn
for Japanese sea power, declares
that Japan never has met first
class navy, that humiliation of her
fleet would be a matter Of two or
three months.
They cite especially, the Japanese
effort to reduce the Woosung forts
protecting Shanghai in 1882, when
the aim Of Japan's big naval guns
was so poor that for q while Ameri-
can photographers stood on top Of
the Notifications taking pictures Of
the bombardment. -
The other school Of thought is COM
posed Of older officers who are spe-
cialists in naval tactics, They have
figured out the time necessary to
move the fleet from Hawaii, to es-
tablish a large enough garrison to
protect the Philippines, and to pre-
pare for meeting the Japanese fleet
in its own waters. To do all this
they want, at least a year.
Both groups agree that the United
States would come out on top, but
they disagree widely on the time
required for victory. r
It is extremely important to note
that both groups are assuming the
British fleet would remain on guard
in the Atlantic and the United States
would not face the job of protecting
Latin America from Hitler-simul-
taneously with the attack by the
Japanese.
This is one reason why many
younger naval officers definitely IA
vor an aggressive policy toward Ja-
pan now. They argue that this would
; be the surest means not only Of
helping the British, but also Of pol
ishing off an almost certain enemy
at a time when the Atlantic still ID
protected.
NOTE - Naval reports indicate
that the, Japanese are shying away
from the idea of invading the Dutch
East Indies, despite Nazi urging.
One deterrent has been the strong
defenses of the Dutch. Another has
been significant U. S. naval moves.

torpedo tubes in Hongkong, keeping

Italian generals had been shot by
Nazi soldiers in rioting in northern

tended to show that Italy, on the
verge Of internal collapse follow

now virtually under Nazi occupation

These showed that the civilians

in bloody street battles by Nazi

COUNCIL FOR AMERICA

A new organization to be known
as the Council for America will soon
be launched to rally public senti-
ment behind the Presidents foreign
and defense policies.
Leaders of the movement are
prominent liberals whose aim is to
bring together labor, farmer, liter
airy and similar groups into a mill
tant organization to oppose the ac-
tivities of the America First Com
mittee and other isolationist units.
The Council for America will not be
a rival of the Committee for the De-
tense Of America by Aiding the Al
lies, but will work along similar lines
through elements that are not
reached by it.
The plan is to launch the new Or
ganization publicly ON Lincoln's
birthday with a nationally broad
cast address by Mayor LaGuardia.
! Among those interested in the new
movement is Mrs. Dwight Morrow,
mother-in-law of Col. Charles Lind
bergh.

Where in Italy the army leaders
were apparently turning anti Musso-
lini and Hitler, in Rumania both
factions, that led by Antonescu and
that led by Sima, claimed that they
bore the Official ukase of Hitler.
Sima, with his Iron Guard legion
naires, attacked Jews and looted
Jewish homes in the approved Nazi
fashion, but just as soon as the An

hand, the government leader assert

he had "the favoring shadow of Der

complete data on the advantages
Wrangell offers because of its lOca-
ton which first attracted the eye of
the white man in 1911 when the
Russians saw its desirability and
dropped their anchors in its harbor
With defense the keynote OF all
activity at this time, it strikes us
these advantages should be empha-
sized again. For much of the data
offered herewith, The Sentinel is

Wrangell is situated on the direct

between Seattle and Juneau, being
approximately $50 miles from Seat

Ketchikan and Juneau, being To-

from Juneau These distances are
