According to reports received
in Washington over the week end
it appears that Gen. Weygand is
still opposed to any kind of joint
control of the Tunisian bases.
He realizes the emergency as far
as the Germans are concerned
but does not see why France
should expose those harbors to
the bombardment of the British
aviation and the British fleet
in order to facilitate the Ger
man operations in North Africa.
Admiral Darlan is a poor diplo-
mat but a good sailor. The
French fleet is ready for action
and he is said to have assured
the marshal that the British
fleet will not find it easy to
lombard these ports once the
French fleet puts out to sea to
defend the Mediterranean Sea
lanes and naval bases. He holds
the view that the British can
not claim the control of that
sea and if France chooses to
permit her new friends to use
her harbors, the British must
not injure any French protected
city. If they do, the French
fleet with limited field of action
Is quite capable of defending the
flag.

1t appears that Gen. Weygand
was less adamant then he has
been in the past. He pointed out
that the German demand to use
only the Tunisian ports is nothing
but an entering wedge and that

would demand similar facilities

should be confined until dead or
killed and its brain examined for
negri bodies.
The objection is always made
that the course of vaccine is tedi-
Gus and expensive; many people
are afraid of it. And the owner
of the dog always insists, as he
did in the case mentioned above,
that the dog is not mad, but that
the little boy teased it. AS mat
ter of fact, it is better TO tie the
dog and and keep it under obser-

ii has rabies, it will die shortly
and the negri bodies in the brain
will be easier to find.

saliva of the sick animal and

WINS CREDIT IN MOSCOW
One of the coups which

the liquidation of the coy
nest which two top-flight Brit
fsh Communists, Comrades
Thompson and George Hardy,
had feathered for themselves
AT Comintern expense. Thomp-
son and Hardy were the team
at the head of the most i'm
portant department In the
Communist Party OF Great
Britain-in charge of the har-
bors, the docks, the fisheries
and the vast British merchant
marine.
Thompson was a hard-voiced
giant, formerly an official Of
the British Trade Union Con-
gress. George Hardy was a
Soft-footed, foxy schemer
who had transacted Comm
tern business in many far
places, in India, Moscow and

Thompson briefly in Berlin

10 find. The c ON m unist
waterfront organization IN
Great Britain registered some
I 100 members, bit not one
of them had paid dues beyond
an initiation fee. The Inter
national Seamen's Clubs IN
British ports were not political
centers, but unsavory cafes
run for the personal profit of
Hardy and Thompson.
The international Club IN
Freetown, Sierra Leone, on
the west coast OF Africa.
which was budgeted and dl-
rected from London had been
transformed from a Commu-
MIST rallying point TO some
thing that closely resembled
a slave-trading center.
Returning Negro comrades
told the tale. Hardy had sold

shoremen for a fee amounting

had consistently Sabotaged
every attempt to transfer the
head office to Calcutta.
