in England has not been disclosed,
but military observers estimated the
number at about $4,000 before the
arrival of the latest contingents.
The airmen included officer pilots,
gunners, ground crews, observers,
wireless operators and others.
Americans in the group were said
to have volunteered for air trans
port and auxiliary duties.
The soldiers included artillerymen,
engineers and reinforcements for
Canadian units already in the United
Kingdom.
simultaneously, important changes
in the high command OF Canadian
troops in the United Kingdom, max
ing the Canadian corps general staff
completely Canadian, were an
nounced.
Brigadier E. L. M. Burns OF Ottawa
was named brigadier of the gen.
eral staff handling all military op-
erations of the overseas army, and
Brigadier G. r. Turner of Fred
ericton, New Brunswick, was named
deputy adjutant and quartermaster
general.
Both men succeed British briga-
dierS. The changes become effective

munitions of war in adequate variety
and overwhelming quantity or to
provide the raw materials needed
and the foodstuffs required-they
are all valueless unless laid down at
Britain's door, How that can best
be done it is the responsibility of
the President and his military ad-
visers to determine. I firmly be-
lieve that prompt and efficient action
on his part only awaits the assur-
ance Of general public support Of
such means as it may be necessary
to aoopt for the accomplishment of
that end.
Urges Support Of President.
ITO provide in adequate quantity
and lay down at Britain's door the
munitions of war required to insure
her successful issue from this con-
flict, two things are absolutely es-
sential:
81. On the part of the citizenry
generally, a united public opinion
Solidly behind the President in
whatever may be necessary to
achieve the desired end.
'2. On the part of industry and
labor, united determination to keep
the wheels of industry running at
top speed and highest productive
capacity, thus eliminating during
the period of the emergency all
strikes, lockouts, labor disputes and
stoppageS of every character. Con-
fident that, to some extent at least,
recent industrial disputes have been
due to fifth column activities, NaZi
or Communist, it is my belief that
the country will support the Presi-
dent solidly in adopting Immediately
the fullest measure to free industry
and labor from such SubverSive and
anti-American influences and hand
| leaps.
The magnificent tenacity and un-
parelleled courages of the English
nation must be reinforced by our
fullest aid. Every hour is precious.
We must act today. God grant that
as those who come after us read the
history of this fateful hour. they
may have occasion to give humble
thanks for the stand this day taken
by all those who proudly call them
selves Americans!
VERY sincerely.

A BRITISH PORT, April 2S.-
The largest single contingent of
Canadian trained flyers to reach
the United Kingdom since inaugu-
ration of the empire air training
program arrived here safely yester-
day in company with thousands of
Canadian fighting men.
The commanding officer of the
central station to which the airmen,
including Americans, Canadians,
Australians and New zealanders
were sent before being posted to
fighting units said their standard
of training was so high they would
need only little brushing up before
taking the air for battle.
Soldiers and pilots, singing and
cheering as they streamed ashore
from transports, said they had a
quiet and dull crossing and that
not a single submarine or hostile
airplane was sighted during the
entire voyage.

Rockefeller Urges
Support Of Britain
AT AtAnyCost'
Every Hour Precious,
We Must Act Today
He Declares
ry the Associated Press.

ES the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 28-The people
of the Americas should stand by the
British Empire ito the limit and at
any cost" says John D. Rockefeller,
jr.
The Observation-Disclosures ex-
pressed this conviction-"a arrived at
in anguish of spirit"-in 8 letter to
Arthur Hays Sulzberger, publisher
of the New York Times, which Mr..
Rockefeller made public yesterday.
Every hour is precious" said Mr..
Rockefeller, father of five sons. I'VE
must act today
Calling for the American people
to stand solidly behind President
Roosevelt and to see that quantities
of war munitions sufficient to win
victory were Laid down at Britain's
door" Mr.. Rockefeller said the issue
being fought was freedom versus
slavery and added:
Il would rather die fighting the
brutal, barbarous, inhuman force
represented by Hitlerism than live
in a world which is dominated by
that force"
Text of His Letter.
The text of his letter follows:
Dear Mr.. Sulzberger:
You and l have had several talks
during recent months regarding the
relations of the Americas to the Eu-
ropean war. There are certain def
mite conclusions which I have now
reached. May I state them briefly.
Let me say at the outset that, like
mos people, I hate war. All my life
I have hated it. I have always pre-
ferred the ways Of peace and have
followed them wherever possible. But
when all peaceful methods have
failed and the issue was worth
standing for at any price, even If it
meant a fight. I have never hesitated
to see it through on that basis.
That is my position regarding the
present conflict. 1t is my firm con-
yiction, arrived at in anguish Of
spirit, that the people Of the United
States and Of all the Americas
should see this conflict through; that
we should stand by the British En-
pire to the limit and at any cost.
Says Issue Is Clear Cut.
''The issue that is being fought out
Is simple and clear cut. Shall free
men live under the laws of their
own making and under leaders of
their own choosing, or shall human
beings exist as slaves under the lash
of the tyrant while all that makes
life worth living. and even life itself,
are subject to the whim of the op-
pressor?
IT am convinced that force can
never be permanently subdued by
force, that hate cannot annihilate
hate nor evil drive out evil. Never
theleSs, for myself, and / say 1t de-
liberately, I would rather die fight
Ing the brutal. barbarous, inhuman
force represented by Hitlerism than
live in a world which Is dominated
by that force. 1t Is because believe
the same is true of an overwhelm-
ing number of Americans that l say
we of the Americas should stand by
the British Empire to the limit and
at any cost.

British Warships engaged il block
ade duty. Four British cruisers have
been lost but at least twenty five
new ones have been or are being
completed since the start OF the
war.
The British have lost SO destroy
ers. but the fifty American destroy
erS delivered to Great Britain have
much more than made up the diff
ference. In addition, about % de-
stroyers and torpedo boats were
under construction at the outbreak
of the war and ii is certain there
have been additions since then.
The German assertion that Brit
ish sea power has been broken can
not refer TO destruction of mercan-
tile shipping. Though that has been
severe. Mr.. Alexander said last
Wednesday that more than two
thirds of the losses have been made
up by new domestic construction
acquisitions abroad and seizures of
enemy ships. Between eight hundred
and one thousand ships are still

Official announcement in London
Saturday that British Warship con-
struction for the year ending April
first will total 480 fighting craft
emphasizes the decisive manner in
which the British navy is holding
its command of the seas, and main
tanning an unbroken blockade of the
whole European continent. From
northern Norway southwark through
the Atlantic and eastward into the
Mediterranean, approximately five
thousand miles of coastline are pro-
hibited areas for enemy overseas
commerce.
Great Britain Is not besieged be-
cause 1t is open to shipping from
the western world and the Orient.
The European continent, however.
is locked within itself, unable to
maintain commercial intercourse
with the rest of the world because of
the British navy's control of the
ocean traffic lanes.
The new additions to the British
fleet not only are tightening the
Atlantic and Mediterranean block
ade but also allow Great Britain to
add somewhat to the strength of
her fighting craft in the Orient.
This relentless pressure Of sea pow
er, ever increasing, is destined to
play vital part in the eventual
outcome Of the war.
First Lord of the Admiralty Alex
ander told the House of Commons
ON Wednesday that new Warships
coming into service during the pres
ent year make a formidable force
in themselves. judged by naval
standards of almost any other coun-
try. Saturdays announcement of the
number of new craft constructed
by April first emphasizes the truth
of Mr.. Alexander's claim.
Among the additions TO the Brit
ish navy are five Glper- battleships
of the King George V class, each
OF $4,000 tons, constituting the most
powerful fighting squadron in the
world. From these monsters of Of
fensiye warfare, the new ships range
through different classes to small,
armed speedboatS.
New destroyers, invaluable for
convoy work, are being added 10
the British navy this year, in in
creasing numbers Mr.. Alexander
especially emphasized in his House
OF Commons speech that the British
have more OF this class of warship
now than at the start OF the war.
Claims by Germany that British
control OF the seas has been destroy
ed can have been made only to slim
ulate home morale. There is not
the slightest room for believing the
Axis can break down the British

Stores Warned of
Army Order Racket

Merchants and wholesalers were
warned Saturday to fill no orders
for the army at Camp Seeley unless
presented with a written requisition
on a government form.
Officers of the eleventh cavalry
at Camp Seeley told officials of
the FL Centre chamber of commerce
that the government is not bound
and cannot be held for purchases
made without a written, signed ord
er on regular purchase forms.
Recently building material was
ordered, called for, and received by
a truckman who said he was con-
nected with the army. It was dis
covered that the government had
nothing to do with the purchase
and the wholesaler lost the cost of
his goods.
Members of the mercantile trade
relations committee of the chamber
of commerce urged dealers to make
no exception to the rule and always
demand the written order on the
required government form and thus
avoid loss
