Great Britain will use the high

the English Channel and for
"cloSe-in" operations at English

craft were being eagerly sought
by Britain in preparation for an
expected invasion attempt by
Germany.
Knox also said that the British

Ships in Orient
Blasted by Nye
And Wheeler
BY STANLEY CARROLL
Ir,1 New, service star Correspondent

WASHINGTON, March ~ --'
Charges that the United States
ordered 10 warships 10 Australia
and New Zealand as evidence of
this governments firm determi-
nation 10 protect the British
Empire in the Orient were made
by Senators Burton X. Wheeler
CD of Montana and Gerald p.
Nye (R) of North Dakota.
The two chief leaders of Senate
non-interventionist forces declared
the action clearly demonstrates"
that the lease-lend bill was de-
signed as much TO protect Eng
lands far-f1ung possessions rs 10
aid the defenders of the British
Isles.
Secretary of the Navy Knox
whose department announced the
visit OF the warships 10 Australia
and New Zealand was merely an
informal call of goodwill asked TO
comment on the subject at press
conference. observed:
"We're very much in sympathy
with Australia"
UNKNOWN IN DEBATE
Wheeler said information
reached him during the Senate
debate on the lease-lend bill that
United States warships were being
sent TO the Orient, but that he
had been unable 10 confirm the
reports.
Had II been known then, as
II Is officially admitted today
he said. 81 think Ii would have
had a very important bearing on
the legislation.
This Is one more of the steps
this government Is taking day
by day toward war;" Nye de-
clared. 1T Is just one more
evidence that we have embarked
upon a program of defending the
British Empire In any and every
part OF the world.
There can no longer be any
question:" Wheeler SIS e rted.
"that these American warships
are being sent TO reinforce the
British In Singapore and other
parts of the Orient.
WANT TO HELP ISLES
1.-THE gallant fight the people
OF the British Isles have been
making, and the untold suffering
they have endured, have won
the sympathies of all America.
Our people want to help them
defend and feed themselves.
But I do not see any neces-
sity for sending our men into
the Orient to protect British
possessions. There Is no democ-
racy in the Far East outside
Australia and New Zealand. The
people In the British possessions
In the Orient have been merci-
1essly exploited for years. Amer
lean boys should not he called
upon TO fight and die merely to
continue this ruthless exploita-
ton by Britain"
Wheeler said he never believed
a war would develop between this
country and Japan because of
the commercial considerations in
volved. He said that Japan is the
largest buyer of American cotton
scrap iron and oil and that the
United States is Japan's best
customer for silk and manufac-
tured goods.

NEW YORK, July S tNAN.A).-
The biggest news to reach the ears
of boxing society on Jacobs Beach
since Hymie Caplin went up. the
river for rehearsing a stud game Is
the announcement that the United
States Coast Guard has called for
272 yachts. What the Coast Guard
wants to know is-have you got a
yacht in your home?
Without hesitation, Mr.. Mushky
Jackson, social dictator and princl-
pal patriot of the beach, set forth
to shake few yachts out OF his
immediate circle of acquaintance.
If they've got 'em, reasoned Mr..
Jackson, they will naturally give em
up. A time arrives when selfish
pleasure must yield to public duty.
1t came as a shock to Mr.. Jack
son to learn that none of his friends
had yacht, or even dory. 1t
shed a new light on the characters
he has been hobnobbing with for
years. He saw them clearly for the
first time.
Many of these buns" said Mr..
