By STEPHEN TRUMBULL.

FORT DE FRANCE, Martinique,
Dec. 28 (By Airmail to N.ANAD-
On his arrival here your corre-
spondent set out to learn what the
man in the street thinks about those
American destroyers just outside the
harbor gap-What he thinks of the
growing American concern over this
strategic tinder box
We intended to be subtle about 1t,
and we started little polite verbal
Sparring with the first interview
candidate.
"Ah, an American!" he exclaimed
politely. Tell me, when are you
Americans moving in here? Soon?"
We were prepared to ask nice,
polite, diplomatic questions, not to
answer such an abrupt one. We
have laughed off that same question
many times, for the United States
isn't kidding any one in Martinique
over the fact that we would like to
have an air and naval base here.
French Know Importance.
The French know how vital would
be this beautiful natural harbor in
closing a present 600-mile gap in the
protection of the lifeline of the
Americas that is the Panama Canal.
The French are cold realists. They
have name for the American de
stroyer now clearly visible outside
this harbor and which will be joined
by another at sundown, their lights
to wink over this scene through the
night. These are called 'our guar
dian angels"-so We set out to learn
how much good-natured humor and
how much resentment lie in that
term.
More than any other story appear
ing in the American press in recent
months, French officials resent the
one in which it was asserted that a
vote in Martinique would show 80
per cent or more in favor of Ameri-
can occupation.
Public opinion changes with the
winds. On our arrival we were as
sured the British and the devil
were of the same nationality. Two
days later there was news of fresh
British victories over the Italians.
and the British weren't such bad
people. The Italians are hated worse
than the British. Another few days
passed; there was a report that the
British had grabbed some more mail
at Antigua, and John Bull was a
dirty name again.
So the reactions here are pre-

ton of munitions and machine tools,
now inadequate, to be exported to
Britain.
ITO expand output most rapidly,
the American economy would then
have to be subjected to purposeful
direction from above in all It's
aspects. Military production would
receive preference over civilian
needs wherever the two clash.
Priorities would be imposed, all
available labor and plants would be
utilized to the full, no matter what
the obstacles; and bottlenecks would
be removed by strenuous action.
THE President would be COM
pelled to exercise his sweeping emer-
gency authority-contined in nu-
merous laws-to regulate the ma
tional economy, with Congress
rounding out the Federal Govern
ment's power by additional legisla-
ton wherever necessary. Full in
dustrial mobilization would be re-
quired.

"All financial limitations would be
swept away and the sea lanes to
Britain kept open, even if it were
necessary to assign American vessels
to convoy duty.
THE United States, in short,
would accept organization on some
thing akin to a wartime basis
Acknowledging that such course
undoubtedly involves the risk of
war; the report recited the argu-
ments of "a large section of public
opinion" against taking such steps.
1t pointed out that support for the
British is not in itself a major issue,
although the extent of assistance is
in dispute. The need for decision
on this fundamental point becomes
more and more pressing" it was
emphasized, in view of forecasts of
4 great crisis this spring.
The report suggested possible
Short of war"-although risky
step toward helping to relieve the
naval pressure on the British

Pan-American neutrality zone to
assure peaceful use" of those
waters by ridding them of German
raiders. At present, the patrol is
maintained merely to seek informa-
ton.
Partial Convoy Suggested.
Another possibility, it pointed out
Is that the United States Navy di-
rectly convoy freighters part of the
way across the Atlantic, and that
part of our fleet in the Pacific be
based at Singapore to release Brit
ish craft for duty elsewhere.
Numerous ways to help relieve the
shipping "bottleneck" were sug-
gested, including increased con-
struction of ships for the British
here, sale of more American merch-
ant vessels, seizure of idle foreign
tonnage in American ports for the
benefit of Great Britain and revision
of the Neutrality Act to permit
American vessels to carry goods tt

Shrewd Soviet Policy
Seen in Expiration
Of Fisheries Pact
Nozis' Failure to Bring
Russia Into Accord With
Jopon Indicated
Y the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
TOXIC. Jan. 2-Japan's fisheries
treaty with Soviet Russia expired
without renewal December 81 and
reliable foreign observers today saw
therein evidence that Moscow is
following a shrewd diplomatic policy
In her relations with Japan and
Germany.
The fact there was no announce
ment of a renewal of the fisheries
pact before the end of 1910 caused
surprise. If the delay continues be-
yond the New Year holidays, OBJ
servers said, it may indicate that
Berlin has been unable to persuade
Moscow to come to terms with Toxic.
Nervousness Indicated.
Japan and Germany, Russia S
neighbors on east and west, are
allied in the three-power pact of
Berlin. Although this specifically
excludes Soviet Russia as possible
foe of the alliance. diplomatic OBJ
servers have seen indications that
Moscow still is nervous about the
chances of a combined attack on
her from east and west.
Russia has a non-aggreSSion pact
with Germany, but japanese over
lures for such pact have made lit
tie progress. Renewal OF the fish
cries treaty is considered necessary
prelude to any accord OF broader
ian 10
as a safeguard against Russian in
reference with their moves in China
and the East Indies.
Japan has held fishing rights in
Russian Far Eastern territorial wa
ters since her victory in her war
with Russia in 1904-5. Since 1896
detailed regulations concerning use
of these rights have been embodied
in single-year agreements.
Difficulties Each Year.
Difficulties have arisen at each
wear end over the renewal. The
1e4o pact called for negotiation OF
"permanent" fisheries convention
within a year, but this has not been
done.
The japanese press for weeks has
been urging action to clarity rela-
tions with Russia. A new AmbaS-
sador. Yoshitsugu Tatekawa, a re-
tired lieutenant general, was sent to
Moscow two months ago.
The fisheries are Important to
japan because fish is second only to
rice in the japanese diet and canned
seafood is an important item in her
export trade.
