European exits to the Atlantic open

Them Col. Knox warned, "the Sc
eurity nov provided by the Atlantic
would disappear and we would soon
have. not what some of these ap-
peasers call a foreign war but we
would have . war on our own terri
tory. with American women and
children the victims of night-raid-
ing bombers."
A victorious Germany. he said,
would face this country with 4-to-l
numerical superiority in naval power
and only by "superhuman effort"
and "frightful sacrifices" could this
country hope to maintain even q
reasonable degree Of freedom on
the the seas.
It therefore behooves this coun-
try, Col. Knox continued, to play
the minor part of munitions makers
IN this critical contest" while Brit
ish men. women and children fight
for the very principles on which
our whole system of free govern
ment is based
Under such circumstances he
said, I'VE can afford as a nation
to be generous to fault. We can
not retain our seH-respect and hag-
Gle over the terms with which we
will lend our help to the British, to
the Greeks, and to the Chinese,
when the latter are barring their
breasts to the storm of battle.
There must be no thought that

In Caroline County
Gen. Grant Announces
Plan Will Be Pushed
With Regrets
By the Associated Press.


BOWLING GREEN. Va, March
29.-The Army has decided with
''regret," to go ahead with plans for
acquiring a 110,000-acre maneuver
tract in Caroline County.
The decision was announced at
Baltimore today by Maj. Gen. Walter
S. Grant, the 3rd Corps Area COM
mander, and climaXes a fight on
the part of number of property
owners in the area to persuade the
Army to select another site.
Gen. Grant said
"On account of the imperative
need of an artillery range and
training area by the 1st Army in
the general location of Eastern Vir-
ginia, and on account of the fact
the Caroline County tract meets
the Army's needs far better than
any other tentative areas considered.
1t is announced that after again
considering the matter, the 1st
Army will continue with its plan to
acquire the Caroline County tract,
with the boundaries as already pro-
posed subject to slight modification

This action is taken only on ac-
count of the pressing demand of
suitable national defense, and is a
meter of profound regret and con-
Germ"

of s1.650,000 in February for acqui-
sition of training tract in Virginia.

meanwhile, to remain silent on all
overtures that he be active in the
new regime at least until he can go
to Belgrade Tuesday or Wednesday
and investigate the situation at first

An important member of DR.. Ma

the new government has decidedly
won the confidence of all Serbs but
has lost the confidence of all Croats.
CroatS say there is a widespread
feeling that the coup was a Serb
stroke directed more against Croatia
than against the tri-partite pact.

Extremists Strengthened.
Croat suspicious are said to have
strengthened extremists who long
have wanted an independent Croatia
and have contended that autonomy
was a fiction.
Thirty Communist demonstrators
shouting demands for a pact with
Soviet Russia were arrested tonight
when they refused to disband.
Informed circles say that if DR..
Mack participates in the govern
ment without a guarantee of Croat
autonomy he will risk his leadership
and that if he balks at cooperating
all Croats will unite behind him in
their former status of opposition to
Belgrade.
Most of his difficulties, these
sources say, arise from extremists
who are reported gaining recruits
on the supposition that the time is
ripe to break away from the Serbs.
