small fishing craft which managed
to slip through the British fleet,
landing so to 60 men on Crete
from each boat.
The German high command claim
ed that the British have lost 25
warcraft around Crete. 1t broke
down the losses as follows: II cruis-
ers. eight destroyers. one submarine
five speedboatS. Four of the cruis-
ers were said to have been sunk
by the italian air force. In addi-
ton q British battleship, several
cruisers and several destroyers were
said TO have been damaged.
If the German claims are to be
believed, axis airplanes have SO far
sunk virtually the whole of the
eastern Mediterranean fleet-a most
improbable development.
The Greek government and King
George II, it was revealed in Cairo,
have fled Crete and are now in
Egypt. Their withdrawal was at
tributed to the danger they might
fall into the hands of Nazi para
chuists who appeared to have made
special effort to capture them as
they tried TO capture the Dutch gov
ernment and Queen Wilhelmina
during the invasion OF Holland.

Querying me about as coming from
Berlin between now and Tuesday
night"
Early did not amplify this hint
that Germany may be seeking an
opportunity to create an incident
OF some kind, possibly in the north
Atlantic. in view of warnings from
Berlin that responsibility for pos
sible conflict lies with those who
are not needing German warnings
and are ignoring the attitude OF a
majority of the American people
by proceeding to danger zones"
JAPAN STIFFENS
Japan's attitude seemed to stiffen
simultaneously with the sharp warm
ing from Raeder and other German
sources directed against the United
States. Raeder's interview was given
to Domei, official japanese news
agency, and that fact was noted
with some interest here.
Tokyo officials were reported con-
sidering what action they should
take if the United States entered
the war. In Hanoi, French Indo-
China, japanese forces seized S10,-
100000 worth OF trucks and other
American-owned supplies. The jap
anese said the supplies were des-
tined for China and, therefore, were
subject TO seizure. The goods had
been subject to dispute for some
months. Seizure at this momen.
was regarded as significant in view
Of Berlin's increasingly firm posi-
ton.
Early was reminded that prior TO
the original May IA date for the
speech, he had cautioned reporters

that caution still applied.

"I would have repeated that warn

gagged through today, tonight and

the light of rapidly changing con-
ditions abroad I can't go into de-
tails on this-you Will get the de-

Judge Samuel 1. Rosenman, of
the New York supreme court, and
Robert E. Sherwood, playwright,
who in the past have assisted the
president on his most important
addresses, both were at the White
House. Collaboration of these two
during the last year invariably has
been precursor of important pres
idential utterances.

Parity Bill Gets
RooseveIt's Okuv

WASHINGTON, May 26 CUP)-
President Roosevelt today signed the
IS per cent parity loan bill for
wheat. cotton, corn, rice and to-
bacco but made clear that he would
hold congressional leaders to an
agreement to make commensurate
cuts in cash parity appropriations.
Mr.. Roosevelt in a statement ac-
companying his signature of the
measure, said that under no cir
cumstances' should the sum of oari-
ty loans, cash parity payments and
soil conservation payments exceed
the parity figure for the five basic
commodities.
He did not reveal details of his
understanding with congressional
leaders. 1t was learned, however,
that he signed the measure on con-
dition that congressional farm lead
ers would cut the parity payment
item in the pending farm appropri-
alton from the $3.50, 100000 senate
figure to the 2l2,0O0,OO0 originally
planned for in the budget.
ASSURES LOANS
The bill will assure farmers who
cooperate in the 1941 agricultural
adjustment administration pro-
grams loans equal to IS per cent
of parity on the five basic commod-
tiles.
The loans, combined with soil con-
servation and parity payments, will
assure growers of the five major
farm commodities return per
bushel approximately equal in pur-
chasing power to the l909-l9l4 av-
erage.
The law supersedes for this year
only the old law authorizing the
commodity credit corporation to
make loans anywhere between SO
and rs per cent of parity on cotton,
wheat, rice and tobacco. Corn loans
were fixed by law at rs per cent
of parity.
Parity on any commodity is that
price which would give the grower
the same purchasing power per unit
-bushel or pound-in terms OF
manufactured goods as he averaged
for the period between 1909 and 1914
The 194l crop loan rates will be
II cents bushel on corn; 81 cents
a bushel on wheat; 13 cents pound
on cotton; SO cents a hundred
pounds for rice; and % cents a
pound for flue-cured tobacco, with
lower rates on most other grades
of tobacco.
