NEW ROUTE:
For Planes

What was declared by the White
House to be "an important step to
speed delivery of planes to the Brit
ish forces in the Middle East" came
when the President announced
new plan for ferrying aircraft to
Africa.
Under terms of the arrangement
worked out with Pan American Air
ways, planes needed by the British
will be flown from the U. S. to Ber-
rnuda, thence to Natal, Brazil and
across the Atlantic to Africa. Pan
American will return the fiiers to
the United States.
It was pointed out in the Presi-
dents statement that the route was
so arranged that at no time would
the u. S. fliers pass through the
zone of actual warfare"

De-OiIing Sea GulIs

For almost two years, a de-oiling
hospital for sea gulls has been
operated near Penzance, England.
Every time submarine is sunk
off this coast, the explosions kill
many fish, thereby attracting
f1ocks of gulls, which become so
drenched with the floating oil that
they cannot fly. AS many as 700
of these birds have been rescued
and sent to this "de-oilery' in q
single day.

UNREST:
Taking Substance

The unrest stories from occupied
portions of Europe, which had been
largely couched in general terms,
as though the writer's Of the reports,
figuring that the Germans had re-
moved large numbers of guards for
the war with Russia, and had let
their imaginations run riot, now be-
gan to take some real substance.
The stories came from Norway,
from occupied France, and from
within Germany itself, though the
details in the latter had to be
cleaned from the highly propagan-
died Russian war conmuniques
and were somewhat discounted
therefore.
The Norwegian story was that the
QuisIing government was tottering.
These sources were Swedish news
paper stories, and the Swedes,
though generally unfriendly to the
Axis, were staggering along the
fence Of neutrality and SO far had
been able to keep their country un-
invaded.
The Swedish stories had consid-
cradle detail. They told of Quisling
himself doubling and trebling his
bodyguard, and being on the verge
of nervous breakdown; of one of
the cabinet ministers seeking to
take poison and of others who had
been ordered to. take ,"rests" of
three months because of the utter
failure of their several objectives.
The French story also had sub
stance and came from Nazi-capitu-
lated Vichy itself which, throwing
off censorship, announced that the
Paris police were offering million
francs reward for information lead
ing to the arrest of train wreckers
who were menacing the food supply
of the former capital of France.
Those commenting on the dis
patch said it brought to mind the
statement of Petain that he 'sfelt
an i'll wind rising in many sections
of France" The disorders, at first
blamed in dispatches entirely on
Communists and Jews, brought
from General Stuelpnagel, COM
mander of the German armed
forces, that if the train wrecking
continued, the entire public of
France would be held responsible.
This statement, added to the mil
1on-franc reward story, gave the
unrest almost the tone of a revolu-
ton, and coming on the heels of the
Petain-Darlan-Lava1 surrender to
the Axis, made some think that per-
haps loyal Frenchmen had been
asked TO surrender more than they
would stand for. '--
| JAPAN: o.
ofaciai Washington was given a
good idea of the narrow peace mar
gin maintained by present Jap
anese-American relations when a
ship sent to Japan for the purpose of
evacuating somewhere between 120
and 40 American nationals was re-
fused permission to enter a port.
The Japanese announced that
they would let the ship in II its
only purpose was to return the 20
u. s. officials involved, but thai the
private citizens and missionaries,
would have to remain ID Japan.

PRESS:
Its Reaction

The press reaction to the Roose-
velt-C Churchill conference and the
eight-point statement was far from
unanimously favorable.
The criticisms, however, ranged
all the way from an echoing OF the
Berlin reaction that it was a poor
plagiarism on Wilson'S IA points,
down to milder reproach that
Roosevelt should have risked his life
on the battlefield of the Atlantic.
In the main, however, the leading
independent papers Of the country
agree with the philosophy and the
idealism Of the statement, though
almost all of them agreed that 1t
was q carefully timed and dramat-
ically staged counter peace offen-
sive'' against that expected to be
launched by Hitler now that his
campaign against Russia was about
one-third accomplished. -s'
There were many smaller side
lines Of criticism, however. Some
papers had headlines about "one-
way censorship, apparently believ-
ing that certain British newspapers
and press associations had been
permitted to be represented. 's'f.-..

WORLD WAR III:
Ne,u Angle

The many-faceted chances OF war,
which had seen Hitler reaching an
other peak of successes, suddenly
seemed to veer more to the British
American side following the dra-
matte conclusion Of the Roosevelt
Churchill talks at sea.
Not only did the eight-point pact
between the two executives strike
with a powerful sound across the
front pages of the globe, but the
promise of aid to Russia was re-
portedly based on the assurance felt
by Britain and the United States
that the Soviet troops would be able
to hold the Germans at bay through
out the winter.
Indeed, Mr.. Roosevelt on his re-
turn to this country, made such a
positive statement, declaring that
CONSUMERS goods" such as food
stuffs, would be made available for
Russia during the rest of the sum-
mer; that it was assumed the Rus
sian winter would bring at least a
partial halt to hostilities, and that
more substantial aid could be made
ready by Britain and the United
States for the opening of the spring
campaign.
All in all, there was quiet con-
fidence as to the outcome OF the
war, and its continuance through a
considerable period Of time, that
was in sharp contrast to the feelings
of menace and Of instability that
had been marking the news at the
outset of the Presidents dramatic
vacation trip" on the Potomac.
Beside this sort of feeling through
out Britain and the United States
and particularly since the President
said he did not believe this country
was "any nearer in the war" than
it was before the conference, the
rumbling criticism of congressman
and the byplay of press criticism
over mere matters of pictures and
the identity of reporters at the
scene seemed small potatoes"
Because Churchill presumably
was being well informed by the
British military mission in Moscow
as to the real carrying on OF the
war in the East, and if the Presi-
dent was so broadly confident OF
the continuance of the Soviet de-
fense, it was reasoned that he must
have good authority.

CAPITAL CHAFF

White House press secretary Steve
Early kept it to himself, but pri-
vately he was sore at the bungling
of Churchill Roosevelt press rela-
tions. II they had left it to him,
the result would have been different.
American editors resented the fact
that first news of the meeting broke
in London. A lot Of other Ameri-
cans resented the idea that news
about their own President had to
come via the British censor. Roose-
welt himself, not the British, was
b blame.

FORTRESS:
In Battle Ea

4gt 11OSOUtC
During the first few daylight
bombings of Germany and occupied
territory by the huge American fly
ing fortresses, the stories were that
the big planes flew so high and SO
silently that the Germans were not
aware of their presence until the
bombs began to fall, and that by
that time the Nazi fighters could
not get within reach of them.
Presumably, after unloading their
bombs, the big ships were able to
turn about and with their high
speed, get back to England before
the fighters could climb level with
them.
Finally the report came Of one Of
them being in fight, and apparently
suffering some damage. But the
report told of one fortress bomber
being attacked by seven Nazi fight
ing planes, and beating them all
off and getting back, somewhat
damaged, and with some casualties,
to its base again.
This began to bear out what
American flying officers had said
about the Bio, still lndelivered to
Britain, and the huge Navy ship
even bigger than the Bio, still un-
tested at the Martin plant. Both Of
these, before many months, will be
in the lease-lend program.
Flying officers had said that the
four-motored American bombers,
with their high speed and maneu-
variability, particularly after their
bombs were dropped, and because
of the number of their crew, their
armament and its location at vari-
GUS parts of the plane, would be
more than match for enemy fight
ers.
Apparently none of them had be-
ieved one such bomber could fight
off seven fighters, but all were sur
prised when they learned this had
been accomplished, even though
with casualties and damage.
The still larger bombers project
ed, they said, would be still more
able to Withstand and fight off at
tack.
The tale of the battle in the sky
headlined summing up Of British
air efforts in which it was stated
that more than 1000 British bomb
ers had dropped over 100000
pounds of bombs on enemy territory
in four weeks, while in the same
period only about 400 bombers from
Germany had gotten over British
territory.
LONDON:
Press comment revealed that the
country is reconciled to a long war.
The Evening News said:
''It is good that we should be told
that a long war is now inevitable.
It should silence those dangerous
optimists who preach the fallacious
doctrine that immediate shooting
| by the United States would be GER
tain to end the war next year."
The Express:
"We are entitled to take new
heart. We are not entitled to relax
our efforts. Pessimism is idiotic.
Optimism may be dangerous. Real
ism is what we need at this mo-
ment. Our position now is sound,
| if difficult. We want victory, not
| stalemate, and that is not yet. Only
our utmost effort and sacrifice can
give it to us"
