there was offense and defense, and
for once the British, though out
powered and out-numbered, found
themselves on more even terms
with the enemy.
The Germans were admittedly SUI
preme in the air-borne fight, but
once the Nazis landed they had no
tanks nor artillery, and the British
had both.
The British were admittedly su-
perior on the sea-borne fight, but
they had no aircraft protection,
while the German-manned Greek fish
ing boats and small steamers had
Stuka dive-bombers making direct
hits on the British destroyers and
cruisers.
Little could be told from the Ger
man claims, which, following their
usual precedent, said that the
Cretan campaign was complete
success" with the British fleet deci-
mated and the land forces getting
the upper hand.
The only claim made by the Brit
ish was that no vessels save a
few "caiques' Greek sailing boats)
had reached the shore, and that a
Nazi convoy carrying 5000 troops
had been sunk, and lurid tales were
told of warships cutting through wa
tiers crowded with drowning men
screaming for mercy, but how the
ships were unable to pick them up
for fear of "E-boats," Italian fast
motor-craft carrying torpedoes.
The Germans claimed one British
cruiser sunk by plane-bombings,
and nine other vessels so injured
that they were presumed to be out
of action and admitted no such sea-
borne losses as the British claimed.
The air-borne battle was admit
tedly, according to British sources,
going better for the Germans than
had been at first anticipated Al
most the first thing the Stukas did
was to make the British-held air
dromes untenable.
The Royal Air force, instead of
allowing their fighters to be downed
on their landing fields, or crashed
by bomb-pits when landing, with

turning it over to the Nazi air.
vessels. After time long-range
ships came back to the fight, pre-
sumably from Alexandria and the
island of Cyprus, each about 450-500
miles distant, but largely the island
was undefended from the air.
Big Junkers SIS brought more
than score of soldiers on each trip
and landed them on the Gambia and
Malemi airports, whence they took
their machine guns and went into
battle. Later the British reported
that even 75-millimeter cannons and
mortars were brought in on the
largest transport planes.

Greece, Jugoslavia had been dis
asters, so had Dunquerque, the
North African campaign, the Iraq
battle; the whole war, up to this
point, had been series of disasters,
and the British reports on the inva-
sion of Crete seemed to be setting
up the public for an eventual addi-
ton to the series.
The battle of Crete was still the
most exciting news event of the
whole war because of the popularity
of the conditions, paralleling, in a
way, the expected invasion attempt
against Britain.
The British were admittedly in
good force, with Greek assistance,
on the island, and while they had
not had much time to prepare its
defense, having only lately fed
there from Peloponnesus, still the
Germans had not had any more time
to prepare their offense than the
British.
The campaign resolved itself
broadly into two phases-the air
borne and the sea-borne. In each

In the Hoods sinking he sa,o that il

utmost aid to Britain"
most breathless-with a sense OF
shock entirely out of measure with
the size of the catastrophe to Brit
aims cause, the mere sinking of one
battle cruiser, albeit the largest in
the world.
It was in the Battle of Jutland
that Admiral Horace Hood, name
sake of the 42-000-ton battle cruiser,
lost his life on the Invincible, YES
sci of the same relative class as the
Hood, and destroyed in, oddly
enough, exactly the same manner.
The story was dramatic enough,
the tale of sea fight between two
naval squadrons on the broad At
1antic, both far from their bases.
The Hood was the victim of an "un-
lucky hit" as the British reports
said, 15-inch shell from the Ger
man battleship Bismarck striking a
magazine, which caused the main
magazine to let go, blowing the ship
up and sinking her in a matter of
seconds.
Most of the crew of 1904 were
drowned, presumably the captain
and admiral, as the Hood was flag
ship and bore the admiraps colors.
But back of it all questions were
asked and only some of them had
the answers forthcoming from Brit
iSh sources.
One of these was the query of why
the battle had taken place so far out
on the Atlantic. The British an
swered this by saying that their
squadron had deliberately let the
German ships get far away from
their base in order to intercept them
where they could not avoid battle.
Another question was where the
German vessels were headed for, be-
ing intercepted between Greenland
and Iceland, and nearer to Green
land. This was of especial interest
to American naval men because
of the fact that the United States
had lately pledged itself to the pro-
lection of Greenland. There was
no immediate answer.
Naval men in this country imme-
diately, however, were quoted as
saying that the loss of the Hood
showed that it was improper to sac
rifce strength of armor-plate to
speed, the Hood carrying 12-inch
armor where most vessels took II
inch, in order to achieve a 32-knot
speed.
American vessels were not so con-
structed, U. S. admirals reported,
especially those now being planned.
But boiled down the news bore a
disastrous note, power note on the
part of the German assault both in
the battle of the Atlantic and that
of the Mediterranean which gave
American hackers of aid-to-Britain a
general moody outlook on the con-
duct of the war.

PACE UP:
Var Swift

AS the United States began to
swing into the serious business of
getting first-class aid to Britain I'M
der the lease-lend bill, though with
continued and serious heckling from
anti-administration quarters, the
Germans suddenly stepped the war
up to a furious pace not heretofore
dreamed of.
The full-scale aerial invasion of
Crete, plainly hailed by the Nazis
as a 'test-tube" attack for the ulti-
mate invasion of Britain, was the
first move, and this was accom-
panied by news from the ocean
lanes that showed the German fleet,
instead of being bottled up, was
boldly sallying forth not merely into
the North Sea, but far out into the
Atlantic and near the American zone
of protection-Greenland.

suddenness that it left the world al

Salty Seas

We know that the seas are
strongly impregnated with SALT
but it does not strike the average
person that some seas may be
saltier than others. One SWIM

not notice much difference in the
salinity of the water were he
swimming again in the Pacific,
but if he went into the Dead sea it
would be another story, for there
the water is 2412 per cent salt.
There is only one sea saltier, and
that is the Great Salt lake, which

the Caspian is the least salt, be-

DIES:
Tries Again

The Dies committee, having failed
to rouse ripple of newspaper en-
thusiasm over his projected reveal
ing of Communist infltration into
governmental circles, hit the front
pages with a bang when it made
public three documents purporting
to reveal the secret rules of the
Nazi Bund in this country.
Dies said that they were seized
from the effects of Bund Fuehrer
Kunze, now in prison. He said that
they:
latest to the ruthless efficiency
of the military setup which charac-
terizes Hitler's machine in Germa-
ny; anticipate violence, and express
fealty to the totalitarian form of
government"
Having thus placed the stamp of
subversiveness on the Bund, and
also the stigma of fifth column
nists," the committee report said
the Bund had $4,000 active men,
bers and 100000 sympathizers out
side its membership rolls.
Dies said the documents reveal
planned countrywide organization,
with Fuehrer, Gauleiters district
leaders) down even to "block lead
ers" according to an exact imita-
ton of the Nazi set-up.
A party message, according to the
Bund organization, could theoret-
ically be spread over the entire ma
ton within five hours.

CONVOYS:

The convoy issue held the stage;
its place was taken by the Vichy
diplomatic squabble with the Ameri-
can state department, and then it
suddenly boiled down to a straight
out request by the administration
forces that the neutrality act be re-
pealed.
Most observers were still doubt
full that any such action were vi
tally necessary because of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's power to order the
navy to act through his position as
commander-in-chief.

STRIKES:
Coal, Planes

While labor troubles appeared less
frequent as the defense mediation
board went into action more and
more strongly, those which were
vexing the defense chiefs were more
vital and hit more directly against
defense production.
Gone from the scene were juris-
dictional disputes, and the Ford
company, grim in the face of c..
I. o. victory at the NLRB polls,
said it would "obey the law"
But the coal strike, with only Is
days coal supply left above ground
and the threatened strike against
North American Aviation, not to
mention the shipyard strike on the
West coast, were the sort of thing
that were giving mediators head
aches.
Opponents of the c. I. o. called
Lewis dictator" while Lewis
called the coal mine operators in
the South some hard names. The
plane workers were asking in
creases of minimums from so to rs
cents an hour, which observers said,
if granted, might cause similar
fights all over the industry, hitting
at the very heart of the defense
idea.
Planes were coming off the as
sembly lines slowly enough, and
were carrying with them bottlenecks
which were serious enough without
labor difficulties to complicate
things.

Wagner Bill Would.
Plan For Peace Now
Post-EmergencY Economics
Advisory Commission
Urged BY Senate

Washington, d. c. ULNS).-Plan-
ming now to cope with problems fol-
lowing the end of the defense pro-
gram was strongly urged by Senator
Robert r. Wagner of New York in in
PRODUCING a resolution to create a
Post Emergency Economics Advisory
Commission.
Foreseeing an economic crisis at the
termination of defense production,
the American Federation Of Labor,
Federal Council of Churches and
other organizations have been advo-
eating planning such as is proposed
by Senator Wagner.
In statement explaining his bill.
Wagner said immediate plans should
be made to insure that the United
States preserve and enlarge "our eco
nomic gains when lasting peace is
achieved" He pointed out that the
British Government is actively pursu-
ing such a course, despite the fact
that Britain is engaged in desper-
ate struggle for survival.
Commission of II Proposed
Wagner's propose commission
would be made up Of twelve members,
six to be appointed by the President,
three by the speaker Of the House
and three by the president of the
Senate. 1t would be directed ''to study
the economic problems likely to con
front the nation upon the termina-
ton of the present defense emergency
and to formulate a comprehensive
program for the full utilization of
Americas resources Of men and ma
chimes in maintaining and improving
the economic wellbeing Of all the
people"
"Our inability in the past ten years
to put all our man and machine power
to work has increased the cost of
government and constituted a cruel
waste of valuable resources" Wag-
ner said.
Action Now Advised
"To avoid being suddenly confront.
ed with these problems in aggravated
form when the defense emergency
ends, it is not too early now to center
attention on the possible means al
our disposal to avoid them.
"Most emphatically | do not have
in mind merely another relief plar
on a more gigantic scale, although
our relief program will undoubtedly
need to be expanded to meet the first
impact of the ending Of the emer
gency. What | look forward to is {
fully efficient and vigorous system o.
free enterprise sITsiag toward pro
gressively higher standards of life fo
widening groups Of our people.
