KNOX:
And Stin1sOn

Secretaries Knox and Stimson,
also Canada's prime minister, Mac
kenzie King all made important
statements carrying big sidelights
on the war and Americas national
defense.
Knox, speaking in Canada, said
that the United States is practical
ly'' deciding that her course will
thoroughly parallel that Of Canada
in the present struggle.
He thanked the Canadians for re-
manning aloof from Americas own
decision-making, and reminded Can
ada that at the time when she was
making up her mind, America did
not NEEDLE.
Secretary Stimson, in Washington,
arguing that the $285, 000, 900 st.
Lawrence river seaway ought to be
constructed as soon as possible in
order to provide safe journey
much of the way from American
factories to Britain, foresaw a long
war.
One senator asked Stimson if it
was not true that the project would
take four years to construct, and if
so, wouldn't the war be over long
before it was finished.
Mr.. Stinson said, in the first
place, that he thought it was going
to be long war, and in the second
place, we ought not to 60 on basis
of thinking it would be a short one.
Premier King, in the United States
for visit, made Canada's answer
to American isolationists and enc
mics of the lease-lend bill who had
accused Canada of demanding
leash on the barrel-head' for Ca
madam production while Britain
asked the U. S. for leased or lent
goods.
Mr.. King said that Americans who
made these statements failed to take
into account the fact that Canada
was giving the United Kingdom
enormous quantities of men and mu-
nitions which were neither leased no
lent but were an outright gift toward
the winning of the war.
He said that Canada was not
forced to fight on behalf of Britain,
that the decision was fully and free
ly made by Canadians themselves
on a basis of complete autonomy.
He added that he believed the
United States, in much the same
way, had arrived at the same de-
cision-to give about aid to Britain.

Amy Johnson Was Victim
OF Nazis, MoIIison Thinks
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
AN EASTERN CANADIAN PORT,
March 31.-The belief that Aviatrix
Amy johnson was victim of
enemy action" when her plane
plunged into the Thames estuary
January 5 was advanced last night
by her ex-husband, James MolliSon,
on his arrival here to enter the
service of ferrying American bomb
ers to England.
The noted British flyer, first man
to cross the Atlantic on a westward
f1ight-in 1884, told of dining with
his former wife the day before she
was lost with the plane she was
ferrying for the auxiliary air service.
"She was flying over the widest
part of the Thames estuary where
enemy planes were to be found in
large numbers" he said. Her body
was not recovered.
The Italian newspaper II Piccolo
on March 20 advanced the theory
that the famed aviatrix bailed out
before her plane crashed and
escaped to America because of dis
satisfaction with her role as a
British secret agent. The Italian
paper said some of its information
came from an American aviator
named Murphy" who saw Miss
Johnson in Detroit after her re-
ported death.

Its passage marked the second

Before passing the retirement bill
the senators rejected an amendment

Senator Leary of Chowan offered
but then withdrew, an amendment
to provide a so per cent retirement

years or more and retired after 1887
when he said the first retirement
bill was proposed. Leary acceded te
a suggestion of Brooks of Durham

Considers Bill
| As the Joint appropriations com
mittee began item-by-item consldera-
ton of the appropriations bill, one
member said that revision of revenue
estimates upward might provide
enough money for the 18th grade
and a ninth increment in teachers
pay.
A bill providing 18th grade has
been given a favorable report on
house committee, but so far there
has been no proposed legislation te
nrovide the ninth increment - bS
which teachers with nine years
experience or more would receive
nav raise. Increments now stop a.
eight years.
Following the unusual procedure
of not resolving itself into com
mittee.of.t .the-whole, the house begar
debate of the revenue blll-a groul
of amendments to the continuing
revenue act passed in 1888. The
house finance chairman, Representa-
tive Bryant of Durham, explained
the measures provisions.
Its two major changes in the con-
tinuing statute, he said, were to ex
pand exemptions to the sales TAX
and change the division of the re
ceipts from the intangibles tax.
The measure, as reported from
the finance committee yesterday
would exempt home-consumed foods
from the sales tax, and would give
local governmental units Is per cent
Of the intangbles returns, instead
of 60 as at present.
On Bryant's motion, two minor
amendments to the use tax were
adopted. They relate to motion pic
ture firms and subsidiaries of out
of-state firms. Second reading vote
on the revenue measure was post

relations with RumanI and appears
to be preparing for similar break
with Bulgaria if German troops are
admitted to that country unopposed.
These steps synchronize with COM
pletion of the first phases Of the
British offensive in Africa. Italian
military power in North Africa has
been utterly smashed. The next
largest Italian force in Africa, that
in northern and central Eritrea, is
caught in a pincer trap with little
hope of escape or relief.
That spells probable release Of
powerful British air forces from
African campaigning to operate
against the Nazis in the Balkans if
Germany moves across Bulgaria 70
outflank the Greeks in Albania.
There are prime reasons, however,
why Germany should still seek to
delay action in the Balkans. Ahead
of her armies mustered along the
Ruraanian side of the Danube lie two
tremendous obstacles to blitzkrieg
warfare, quite aside from the onn1-
nous threat of a massed British air
attack.
Bulgaria is spanned from east to
west by two rugged mountain ranges,
pierced with few passes and cut by
utterly Inadequate roads, which are
now clogged by ice and snow. Those
ranges, the Balkans and the Rho
dores, would be difficult for heavy
troop movements in winter even un-
opposed British diplomatic moves
leave no doubt that they will be op-
posed by bombing planes every step
of the way unless Germany can
achieve complete daylight control of
the air.
Even to attempt clearing the BAL
kan air of British planes would re-
quire a large-scale transfer OF NaZi
air units from west to east. That
might force Hitler to abandon indefi-
nitely any plans for an all-out drive
against England, except at sea-
In effect, British moves calculated
to force Germany into action il the
Balkans are a part OF the defensive
campaign at home. German failure
to accept the British challenge
promptly would be decided blow at
Hitler's prestige.
It might tend to reshape even Rus
sian war policy, and Russia is an
enigrnatic factor in the eastern wal
picture even if she has notified Bull
garia not to expect Russian help
against Nazi invasion. Berlin can
not forget for moment that pow
erfu- Russian army and air force are
virtually in sight Of German guarded
