Countess Ko+zebue Plans Part,

NEW YORK, jun 20 II
goes without saying, now that
Prince Bernhard, consort Of the
Grown Princess Juhana of the
Netherlands has Unexpectedly
landed on this side of the At

Prince Bernhard has never

point. is doubtless a desire to pre-
vent the exact scale of British as
sistance to Greece becoming known
It has been plain for some time
that Greece would need increased
aid to bring about a successful con-
clusion to the campaign and such
a conclusion could hardly be less
than the election of the italians
from Albania. While Italy retains
foothold there, Greek security
always will be menaced. If Italy
can be elected from Albania now
the possibility of italian return to
that country may be far distant
But the Greeks began the war
with no more than 13 divisions, in
cluding one from Crete and one
from the Aegean Islands. While
there exist on paper certain reserve
formations, 1t is doubtful whether
there exists modern equipment, es-
pecially artillery, sufficient to mo-
bilize any number of reserve di-
visions. Even supposing that de-
fense of Crete is entirely assumed
bv Britain, and defense of Salonica
and the Aegean Islands is en-
tirely left to Greek reserves, 13
divisions are none too strong force
to carry out so ambitious a project
as clearing out the Italians from
the mountainous terrain of Albania,
Beginning probably with 10 divi-
sions, the Italians now have at
least 18 divisions in Albania, which
is about all they can maintain
there because of the nature Of their
lines. of communications and the
constant air and naval threat to
their ports Of embarkation and dis
embarkation.
Four Main Lines of Advance.
The Greeks are using four main
lines of advance, to which they are
limited by the topography of the
country. On the right, they are
pushing from Pogradec toward FL
basan, the most important road
junction of Central Albania. On
the right center, they have taken
Klissura and are advancing on Be-
rati. On the left center, they are
pushing past Tepelini toward Va
Iona. On the left, they are moving
north up the coastal road from
Khimara toward Valona. The port
of Valona itself has been so often
attacked by air and sea as to make
it's value to the Italians decidedly
doubtful; probably great part OF
their reinforcements and supplies
are coming in through Durazzo
farther north, but it is likewise clear
that italian air and naval action is
sufficiently vigorous to prevent the
continuous naval support to the
Greek coastal column, which Gen
Wavell's troops have enjoyed in
Libya.
There can be no question that
italian resistance has grown much

ments. A virtual stalemate ex-

FOLLOWING Is the teTt of Secre-
tary OF War Stimson's testimony
before the House Foreign Affairs
Committee on the leaSe-lend bill:
Gentlemen of the Committee:
In what I have to say upon this
bill, I propose to confine myself so
far as possible to the matters which
have come under my observation as
Secretary of War. In respect to the
wider aspects of world conditions
which the bill is designed to meet,
I assume that you gentlemen have
been fully advised by the Secretary
of State. And in respect to the
financial questions of credit, security
and international exchange which
may be involved in the transactions
made possible by this bill, assume
that you have been advised by the
Secretary of the Treasury.
Furthermore, I assume that this
bill is based upon the proposition
that the effective defense of this
country in the pending emergency
depends in large part upon our CIV
ing effective help to Great Britain
and perhaps to other nations de-
Tending themselves against the axis
powers. The fact that this policy is
favored by our people seems to be
abundantly established by the long
series Of events during the past 16
months since the war broke out,
and I do not propose to discuss it
here
To Discuss Arms Production.
1t Is sufficient to recall to your
committee the consistent utterances
Of the President throughout that
period on this subject; the action of
the Congress in October, 1899, in re-
pealing the automatic embargo leg
iSlation and thus permitting Great
Britain and France to purchase
weapons from our nationals; the
statements of the two candidates
during the past campaign on the
subject of rendering assistance to
Great Britain; and the various we'll
known actions which have been TAX
en- by our Government, with the
obvious approval of the people as a
whole, In assisting Great Britain by
the transfer to it. directly and in
directly, Of munitions Of both mill
tary and naval character.
On its face this bill is intended
further to promote" the defense of
the United States by facilitating
this assistance to governments
whose defense the President deems
vital to the defense of the United
States" With these things assumed
or admitted, I propose to discuss
from the standpoint of my own OBJ
servation the importance of the
enactment of such a bill in order to
expedite the production of arms and
munitions; to produce them with
much greater economy to all gov
ernments involved: and eventually
to provide assurance to this country
that the distribution of these
weapons and munitions at the time
Of their completion will be to the
governments which can use them
most effectively with reference to
the defense and welfare of the
United States.
Situation More Critical Than 1917.
In the first place. let me point out
how much more acute is the present
emergency and how much more
dangerous is the situation of our
own country with reference to the
time element in the production of
munitions of defense than it was
in 1917. Then. as now, we were
engaged in the same problem of
preparing munitions for our defense

Domestic interest centered during the
week largely on discussion of keeping

yond its initial year of service.
With congressional action necessary,
either by declaration of national emer-
gency or amendment Of
Droft conscrlption law, War De-

Gen. George C. Marshall, Army Chief
of Staff, told congressional committee
during week that one-year limitation
should be removed. Likewise, Gen.
Marshall has recommended lifting of
restriction against sending men outside

dicated he would not press this point.
Major shake-up in Army command
was announced Unexpectedly on Wednes-
day with shifting of IT general officers
to bring younger men into key spots.
At his Friday conference, President
also reiterated determination to hold
Iceland at all cost, explaining it had
been occupied to avert seizure by un-
friendly powers and that its defense
will be maintained by any necessary
means.

Welles assured Lisbon that
Portuguese sovereignty would be hon.

Harry L. Hopkins, lease-lend super

midweek and on Friday told British
interviewers that United States will build
100000 tons Of cargo vessels in l941
and 100000 in 1912. Furthermore. he
added grinlly. We are going TO see that
those ships get to Britain with food and

On Tuesday, President Roosevelt asked
Congress for legislation TO establish

And on Thursday, Chief Executive au-
