Washington, Jan. SONS
Great Britain wants the United

non.belligerent partner in the
war against Germany and Italy,
well-informed quarters disclosed
today.
Proposals to this effect alrea-
dy have been made to this gov

These proposals envisage.
among other things, outright
American participation in the
economic blockade OF the Axis
powers.
AS a first step in this direc-
ton. Great Britain wants the
United States to extend the
scope of the export licensing
system TO cover all ma
terials which might be help
full to the Axis powers in wag-
ing war either in Europe or the
Far East.
Great Britain also wants the
right to establish a naval contra
band control station in the West
Indies. preferably at Trinidad.
in order to stop the TOW OF war
supplies from South American
countries to Germany via Japan
and Russia.
London wants permission for
British warships operating out
of Trinidad to seize all ships
heading for the Panama Canal
which may be suspected OF car
rying war supplies to the Far
East for transshipment to Ger

L. S. Stake in
w ar Discussed

Kiwanis Club meeting at the
Hotel Huron Wednesday noon was
featured by the address of Prof.
Robert Fl. Mcdowell, Research AS
sociate in Archaeology. University
Of Michigan, on the subject, Amer
lea and the War. He spoke out of
a long experience in European af-
fairs, since he was born in the Bal
kans, served during the World War
in the British Intelligence Corps,
and for some years carried on bust
ness in Europe.
He opened his address by stat
ing that Germany's war policy is
based upon two tenets: % she
can only win a short war and a.
she must not fight a war on two
or more fronts. THE war, said
he, lis primarily a struggle for the
control of the seas. He therefore
thinks that Germany's Drang Mach
Osten. her pressure toward the east
in Europe, with the objective of
fighting Russia or crossing the
Dardanelles into Turkey, will not
materialize. since she must get out
upon the Atlantic to secure those
essentials needed for building up
and maintaining her economic life.
Coming more directly to the sub
ject under discussion, he showed
how America cannot possibly es-
cape the results Of the war. Re-
ferring to the last war he declared.
