words il seeks to have a capacity

mand which may suddenly. occur.
Assuming that in an ordinary
sized distribution system It's re-
serve is I0.60a kiloWatts above what
ever is the peak load. there would
be this huge block of power which
might be made available for nation
al defense production So the idea
is to tie all the systems together
then one reserve of 10000 kilowatts
might do for 10 systems. say, while
the reserves of nire of them, or
10000 kiiowatts, would b. available

Atlantic Cu.Pcsts
And Panama Ca-al

President Roosevelt would like to
do something about the Cape Verde
islands, the Azores, Canary islands
and Dakar, especially if and when
and Washington really leaves out
the eff in this connection, leaving
only when Germany moves into
Spain and Portugal. But there is no
certainty that anything WILL be
done. There are many difficulties,
not the least of which Is the obvious
reluctance of congress to permit the
use Of the army outside the Western
hemisphere.
Obviously there are two reasons
for the Presidents desire. one is
that occupation Of these Islands and
Dakar by the Germans (Vichy is
already limiting fer German help
in defending Dakar) would pro-
vide just that many more points OF
attack for the Nazis in the battle. Of
the Atlantic. 1t would increase the
problem Of keeping Britain supplied
with munitions, food and planes.
incidentally the supply Of planes is
gradually fading out Of this prob
lem, as more and more of them are
flown over.
The other, and perhaps even more
important reason, is the Nazi men
ace to South America which thereby
would be intensified.
Wrapped in the same bundle is
protection for the Panama canal.
Officials here have been worried
about the canal for some time. 1t is
part of the whole Latin American
problem. Destruction of the Canal,
or at least it's temporary blocking
by explosions in the locks, is one oil
the important elements-to this
country-of the various Nazi moves
with the object of taking over the
governments of certain South
American countries.
This also goes for Central Amer
lean countries. 1t is known, for in
stance, that Guatemala has been
told by Nazi agents that if Germany
wins the war Guatemala can have
British Honduras. II you will exam
inc map of Central America il
will be obvious, even without know
ing the complicated history OF that
part of the world, how tempting a
prize this would be for Guatemala.
One may remember that Poland
was eager to seize part of Czecho.
Slovakia when Germany was footing
that country, that Russia took part
Of Poland later under similar cir
cumstances, to be followed by TAX
ing part Of Rumania later. One
might think Guatemala would fear
to get British Honduras, il the Ger.
mans won, because all Guatemala
would later become a German col
ony. But for some reason hard to
explain it does not work that way.
Most nations seem to look only at
the immediate next step, and figure
that in some way they can proven.
