enjoy greater freedom of action
toward Germany than, let us say, the
Danish government. At other times
the freighters were treated as though
they belonged to a neutral country
and evidence had to be given that
nothing carried on board contra
vened the rules Of the blockade.
Won't Scuttle His Ship.
About the capture of merchants
men controversies have arisen be-
tween the maritime services, the
shippers and their officers which
incidentally, throw an interesting
sidelight on the attitude of the
officers and men-al masters of the
ships are ordered by the French
government to scuttle them rather
than surrender. They are even
compelled to pledge themselves in
writing to that effect. On no other
terms would the occupant power
authorize the French owners to con-
tinue their trade. But we have still
to hear of the destruction of a
single French vessel.
In La Martinique, an officer has
been under arrest for months be-
cause he steadily refuses to give
the promise required from him,
arguing that, if ever put to the
test, he feels he would not keep his
work. Every four or five weeks, he
is formally asked whether he has
changed his mind, and after giving
a negative answer, is returned to his
place of confinement.
The presence of neutralized
French fleet off Alexandria must
have called, in the present juncture,
for special precautions. The agree
ment concerning the status and
maintenance Of that naval force was
negotiated. last July, by Admiral
Godefroy, the officer in command,
and the British Embassy at Cairo.
The purpose Of both was to prevent
a repetition of the unfortunate clash
which had occurred in the same
month at Mers El Kebir.
Escape Is Thwarted.
The men are paid from British
funds through local bank. The
essential parts of the guns and other
weapons have been removed and de-
posted at the French consulate un-
der bond of honor. Very little fuel
IS allocated to the units, barely
enough to enable them to move
within short radius. A few months
ago, one of them tried to escape to
Beyrouth and was overtaken by war
planes.
Can it still be expected that, in
an emergency, the French military
leaders in North Africa would dare
attempt to do what they never have
done since the armistice-take the
initiative against the German in
vader independently of Vichy? The
most direct information points the
other way. The journey Gen. Charles
Huntziger, the Vichy governments
representative in Paris, made to
Algiers is another indication that
the centralist government of Mar

assert its power over Northern At

over what is being done in the Bal
kan Peninsula to help the Greeks
and Yugoslavs.
After all, the loss of continental
Greece was anticipated last March,
until King George appealed to An
thony Eden, British Foreign Sec
retary, for the assistance of British
troops. A reverse suffered in con-
tinental Greece means that the ad-
vantage which could be gained by a
very bold stroke does not material
ize But the loss of North Africa
would react upon the battle in the
Atlantic.
From the African springboard
Germany might check the Anglo
Saxon control of the oceans. Had
10 more destroyers been at work
south of Sicily two or three months
ago, no German armored divisions
would be fighting today on the
Egyptian border. Henceforth, the
maritime door will be watched more
carefully. 1t raises political prob
lens of great complexity.
vigilance only Remedy.
Lately a British note found its way
to Vichy. 1t complained about the
use of Algerian and Tunisian terri
torial waters by cargoes loaded with
German and italian equipment. But
international law, as it can be said
to exist today, probably must be
stretched unduly to subStantiate the
British protest. The problem does
not differ from the one with which
the British and the French govern
mentS had to grapple year ago
when they objected to the activity
of the German ships in the Sheltered
channel of Norway. In today's cir
cumstances, it can be solved only
by greater vigilance on the part
of British naval power. Such is the
conclusion reached by the British
authorities.
Among other practical steps, they
have decided that the French mer-
chant feet would not be allowed any
longer to ply more or less undis-
turbed between Frances metropoli-
tan territory and the empire over
seas.
AS regards the French merchant
feet, two different sets of measures
have been carried out, but intermit-
tently. At times, the ships them

O. P. A. c. S. to Require
Explorations Of All

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July s.-James F.
Bogardus OF the Office of Price
Administration and Civilian Supply
announced yesterday that o. P. A.
C. S. had given all furniture dealers
permission to raise prices not more
than per cent above April levels
without prior consultation with Gov
ernment officials.
Speaking at luncheon of furni-
ture men here for the opening of the
big summer markets. Bogardus, who
Is assistant deputy of o. P. A. c. S.
said that if furniture dealers did
raise prices within the 5 per cent
limit they would be required to
submit explanations to o. P. A. C. s.
later.
Replying to other speakers who
discussed the question of availability
of various woods, Bogardus said:
Il will not be at all surprised to
see priority put on mahogany in
the near future. removing all of 1t
from the furniture industry, but
there is an adequate supply of
domestic hard woods to replace
mahogany"
He said it was directly contrary
to national policy" to urge consum-
ers to buy merchandise Immediately
because of threatened price increases
and that stronger means" than
Government cooperation in price
problems would have to be taken
unless speculation and price rises
were checked.
