Actual War For us.
 Imminent As Convoy
 By Navy Considered
(By Associated Press)

As Greece was erumbling
 this week end under Nazi force.
 the l4th nation of Europe to
 fall to Hitler, actual war for
 the United States appeared im-
 minent.
 In New York last night Navy
 Secretary Knox strongly hinted
 that the United States would
 have to convoy ships to Great
 Britain. Knox said.
 aMr. Hitler cannot allow our
 war supplies and food to reach
 England. He will be defeated
 If they do. We cannot allow our
 foods to be sunk in the Atlantic
 and we shall be beaten If they
 do. We must make good our
 promise to give aid to Britain. .
 State Secretary Cordell Hull sounded a similar sentiment after the President had been in confer enee with his war cabinet for more than two hours He declared that it necessary 10 convoy a6 least to nid-Atlantic and that bases in Greenland must be speeded Uuz official Washington indicated r. S. convoy of supplies to Britain was likely 10 start at any time.
 From Berlin came sharp reply to the hint of convoy. Hitler reiter= ating his previous statement thai any ships which came within view of German torpedoes would be sunk.
 Greece Falls
 Meanwhile the Balkan war ap= peared virtually concluded as most of the Greek army eapitulated, the British retreated across the Medi- 10 Africa and the Greek fled 10 the Island oI Crete. From Athens it was reported that Greek troops still defended th# ancient city but the Germans were in the outskirts and it appeared on ly short time until Greece would be finished except for guerilla war fare in certain sections.
 British troops have been pounded for several days in authorization ports and there were allegations from Berlin that the retreat of the British from Greece would prove as costly to them as bloody Dunkirk. declared waves Of German dive bombers are concentrating fierce assault on Greece's major ports and hammering relentIessly at Greek and British troops fighting an uneven battle against Nazi mee- hanized units laundering on Athens from the north.
 May Strike At Gibralter
 From Lisbon came report of growing belief that Germany would soon direct an effort through Spain toward Gibralter and fears We're eX- pressed that Lisbon, only neutral nation in the south of Europe would be caught in the net
 In Ankara, Turkish spokesmen said Turkey would fight to defend it's independence but there was growing belief in unofficial circles that a deal might be made with Germany over the Dardanelles. The Nazi have promised the Turks d part of Greece for German oceupa- tion of the Dardanelles. Thus far Turkey has not replied. Russia in
