But there was no sign of quick
agreement. Isolationists, including
Representative Fish (R., N. W
and Tinkham (R., Mass) beloved
their opposition. The bearded
Massachusetts, congressman shook
his finger at Secretaries Knox, Slim
con and Morgenthau and challenged
them to prove that if Britain falls
the United States will be attacked.
Isolationist views are that an
America of 100, ZOO, 900 people can
, stand alone; that Hitler and Japan
would be ready TO do business on
just as good terms with us as would
q victorious Britain; that about aid
to Britain will only create vast
taxes and vast debt. They feel the
United States should mind its own
business.
The Presidents view, and appar-
emily the view of a majority in both
houses, is that the United States al
ready stands warned by both Japan
and Hitler that in an Axis-controlled
world a democracy cannot hope to
exist; that If England goes down
unaided she will line up with Amer
ica's enemies TO add TO its confu-
sion.
With combined powers Of 800, 000,-

coed ours BY three times, and the

NATIONAL DEBATE:
Americas Role

A state which, in the epoch of ;
race poisoning, dedicates itself
to cherishing its best racial ele-
ments must some day be master
OF the world. Let the adherents
OF our movement never forget
this.-Closing words of Adolf
Hitler's "Mein Kampf."
In the historic halls where Clay
and Webster debated, where an en-
pire was planned by the winning
OF the West, where Woodrow Wilson
pledged ''our lives, our fortunes
and our sacred honor" in the cause
OF democracy, another crisis of
America is being weighed in the bal
ance.
Congress is considering what will
be the results of policy of unre-
stricted help to Great Britain in
her moment of travail with German
might.
President Roosevelt asked for I'm
precedented powers to deal with the
situation, powers which will make
this nation an economic ally, if not
a belligerent one, with the last out
post against authoritative govern
ment in Europe. His bill would per-
NIT him to lease or lend England,
without further congressional con-
sultation, all material aid in the way
OF munitions and supplies. It is ad-
mitted generally that these supplies,
If they can be manufactured and ar
rive In time, will be the only way
in which Britain can hold out. Even
with them, Britain Is given but
$3.50 chance. .s,. -.

which placed Mr.. Roosevelt in of

fects of the hour. The battle al

In San Diego, Calf, strike was

CONFERENCES:

Miles apart in spirit and purpose

They came together, agreed in ad-

Britain to defeat Germany. They
sought a formula to battle for that
objective.
In Germany, Hitler and Mussolini
met. The place of their conferences

Vichy Problem Involves Fleet
Leohy Kept in Dark on Tie-up With Nozis;
Dokor and Syria Had Fovored British Control

Moreover, it is pointed out in
London that what happened in
Syria, the other day, cannot be re-
garded as shedding full light on the
whole substance of the contemplated
Franco-German understanding. The
German press has announced that
right of way had been conceded to
German military forces not only
across all Frances provinces, but
across all territories beyond the
seas.
Almost Cast Lot With British.
The truth is that the whole prob
lem of the French Empire is now
being forced on the attention of
London and Washington. Last
summer, Dakar and Syria were
within an inch of casting their lot
with the British. In Dakar, about
June 25, the unanimous resolve of
council, where the commanders of
the landed troops and of the navy
sat by the side of the governor of
the colony, was that the British
had better be invited to take pos
session of the port at the earliest
date.
In Syria. the then high commits
sioner, Gabriel PuauX: Gen. Mittel-
hauser and Gen. Fougere (still mill
tary governor of Beyrouth) intended
to remain true to the British alli-
ance. But their plans received
severe blow when the United States
extended official recognition to the
Vichy government and even the
British government, in fact, toler-
ated it. According to American and
British standards, what could they
do except comply with its orders and
instructions? A favorable oppor-
tunity slipped away.
Syria holds the key to the possess
sion of the Mosul oil fields and the
whole of Iraq Therefore, the Brit
ish cannot afford to let the Ger
mans get a foothold there The
Syrian garrison is weak, no more
than three incomplete divisions,
consisting of Moroccan, Tunisian
and SenegaleSe soldiers under Off
GERS released from German camps
for the special purpose Of enforcing
the will of Vichy. All the metro
politan troops 1some $4,000 mem
were sent back to France long ago
at the bidding of the italian COM
mission of armistice. Their arms
and ammunition, including heavy
artillery, were left on the spot and
may now fall into German hands.
In the harbor of Beyrouth is one
cruiser, of an out-of date pattern.
The serious side is that any Brit
ish offensive on Syria. even if sue
cessful. probably would have TO be
made elsewhere unless precaution-
airy steps had been taken before
hand. Not in North Africa, where
Gen. Maxine Weygand is helpless,
but on the sea, where the French
feet, in retaliation. might be shifted
to the totalitarian powers. Even the
'neutralized" French warships off
Alexandria have been allowed to re-
tain their light guns and anti-air-
craft artillery. The British last year
thought it was enough to take away
| the essential parts of the heavy guns.
In the last analysis, the problem
OF the French empire is bound up
with the problem of the French fleet.

would be that American interests

Liberation with the NaziS, involving

Western Hemisphere. 1t will be re-
called that the President told Con-
gress year ago that under modern
conditions it was sometimes neces-
sary to attack an aggressor IN his
route" That might mean occupa-
ton of Dakar on the West African
Coast because of its nearness to

he had lately with the head of the
French state failed to bring forth
any elucidation of what is in the
making. Obviously, neither Mar
shall Petain nor Admiral Francois
Darlan is at liberty to unfold their
policy to the representative of any
foreign power. Still less today than
yesterday can they call themselves
free agents. Their German inter-
locutors pledged them to secrecy
and not to break their word. They
would not dare challenge the Ger
mans If they wish to do so.
1t Is too easily forgotten, abroad
that the German government
watches very closely all the dealings
OF the Vichy ministers with the out
side world. To be silent is now the
rule enforced on every one in Vichy.
But if Marshal Petain, Admiral
Darlan and the ambassadors and
diplomats under them refuse to lift
the veil from the negotiations in
progress with Germany. a refutation
of the American thesis that, in Syria
at any rate, the Vichy government
already violated its pledge to the
United States, is to be found in the
proclamation issued by Gen. Henri
Fernand DentZ, the high commits
sioner for Syria.
Gist of Argument.
The gist Of Gen. Dentz's argument
Is that, under the armistice treaties
Germans and italians are entitled
to control French airfields and that
few days ago, the German air
force did not do more than avail
itself of that provision. The promise
Marshal Petain and his ministers
made to Washington was that they
would not go beyond their commit
ments to Germany as defined at the
time Of the armistice. Gen. Dent7
asserts that, so far, no fact can be
recorded to show that German
activities in the inundated territory
have trespassed upon the limits SCI
in the contracts of last June.
Thus, the controversy bears on the
construction to be placed on article
IL in the Franco-German armistice
convention and on article 18 in its
Franco-Italian complement. A curl.
Gus point is that. in article II, only
the airfieldS throughout unocCupied
France are referred to while article
18 mentions metropolitan and also
colonial airfields. besides bestowing
the right to control them on Ger
mans as we'll as Italians In other
words it would seem that Syrian and
North African airfields were over
looked by the German negotiators
and that, two days later, their Italian
colleagues were asked to fill the gap.
This is not the time to indulge in
legal quibbling about the implica-
tions of those two articles. The
British are not ready to accept that
any kind of facilities on French soil
be extended to any German fighting
force. But they maintain that the
German airplanes which landed on
the Syrian airfields carried a load
of infantrymen. This is a move
that no article in the armistice con-
ventions, even If stressed to the ex-
treme, can possibly cover.
