7 obruk Defenders
Coun+er-Attack

CAIRO, May 2 CUP) - British
troops defending the besieged Lib
yam port of Tobruk counter-attack-
ed axis forces that had penetrated
the outer defense in one sector, and
drove them back, British general
headquarters said today.
The British counter attack des-
troyed Il enemy tanks and inflict-
ed many casualties on the German
and Italian forces, the communi-
que said.
The fighting continued fiercely
however. as the NaZis infantry and
armored forces pursued the attack
that started on Wednesday night.
The communique did not say
whether the axis forces that pene-
trated the outer defenses of Tob-
ruk ON Thursday morning had been
driven out. The sector in which the
British counter attacked was not
identified.
The British have been under
siege at Tobruk since April 9.

LONDON, May 2. (UP)-A cabi-

industrial wizard, to the job OF
assistant prime minister" was TAX
EN- as an indication today that Brit
ain was keying herself for the cru
csal phase of the battle of the At

BeaVerbrook took the title minis
ter OF state without portfolioJ and
the task of helping Prime Minister
Winston Churchill direct war poll
cy. Already he was being referred
to as the Officer commanding the
home front" His appointment was
believed intended, at least partly
to convince the United States, over
whose war tool shipments the bat
tie of the Atlantic RACES, that the
right men are being put in the
right jobs here to receive those
tools.
1t was believed that Beaverbrook
would take over many of the i'm
portant machinery tasks and
home government problems which
Churchill had been handling, en-
abling Churchill to throw all his
energies into supreme direction of
the war. He has rated the battle
OF the Atlantic as vital to the Brit

Cabinet ShQkeup


In releasing Beaverbrook from the
ministry of aircraft production, the
shake-up made him available for
any branch of production that de-
veloped a weak spot. Newspapers
have suggested that he might take
charge OF tank production. He is a
"go-getter" who made the produc-
ton of planes one of the most sue
cessful units of the home front.
1t was believed that Americans
would favorably regard the promo
ton of Beayerbrook, who was born
and raised Max Aitken, of Maple,
Ont, son of a Presbyterian minis
ter; and who had accumulated q
fortune of $5000,0O0 by the time he
was 81 from financial organization
work at Montreal.
Lieut.. Col. J.T.C. Moore -Brabazon,
minister of transport, the first man
to fly an airplane made entirely IN
England over English soil, was ap-
pointed minister for aircraft pro-
duction.
Frederick James Leathers, coal
adviser in the ministry of shipping,
an important industrialist who is
a director of 81 firms, but little
known to the public and not men
toned in who's Who,' was put in
charge of both the shipping and
transport ministries, which were
consolidated into a ministry of
wartime communications. He was
made a baron at the same time.

WITH THE BRITISH EMPIRE
TROOPS EVACUATED FRO M
GREECE, Cairo. May 2. tUP)-
Back in Egypt after terrible 200
mile retreat through Greece and a
600-mile voyage across the sea un-
der the attack of German dive
bombing planes, the undaunted Brit
ish Imperial eXpeditionary force
began today to reorganize for an
other fight.
Its men had fought the massed
armored forces of the Germans for
days, they had fired until their
ammunition gave out at robot-like
waves of massed German infantry
men, who marched endlessly over
the bodies of their own dead, until
the attackers were exhausted. They
had fought parachutists who had
descended by thousands in an at
tempt to cut off their final retreat.
They had embarked on the beaches
of the Peloponnesus, had made the
voyage across the eastern Mediter-
ranean crowded into overloaded
evacuation ships, singing below
decks as the gun crews above fought
final furious-and successful fight
with the Stuka bombers.
SOLDIERS CHEER
Hundreds of soldiers, crowded on
the decks because there was no
room below, cheered as the gunners
OF the three antiaircraft cruisers
nearest us blasted at German and
Italian planes.
Just before we reached port, a
military funeral was held for one
man who had been wounded by a
bomb fragment before he embarked
and died aboard our ship. The trans
port came to dead stop as his body
was lowered into the sea and y
riflemen fired q salute.
The British eXpeditionary force,
its tank men without tanks, its avia-
tors without planes, its exhausted
artillerymen without guns, its infan-
trymen and machine gunners, it's
nurses and surgeons tirelesSly tend
ing the wounded, and with the
Greek and Jugoslav stragglers who
escaped with us--had not only a
story to tell of disaster but also of
heroiSm.
CHILDREN SAIL TOO
With us also were women and
children, the youngest child 10
months old, and one American Wom-

No Power on Earth
Can Invade u. S.

WASHINGTON, May 2 (UP) -
Secretary of Commerce Jesse H..
Jones told a national defense con-
ference of food and clothing pro-
ducerS today: II do not know how
long England can take the punish
ment it is taking now, but 1 am
not afraid that any power on earth
can invade the United States"
II do know, however, that the
powers opposed to democracy can
eiva-us a lot of trouble" he said.
They can reduce our living STAN
dards, for we cannot compete with
slave labor
Jones also told the gathering that
"Nazi stooges' had gained a foot
hold in Latin America by the
hundreds of thousands.
This is serious news" he said,
"and 1 want you to go back to
your businesses and try to spread
the feeling that the whole world
situation is very serious"

Iraq Hub of Great
Diplomatic Fight,
BY j. w. L. MASON
United Press War Expert)

Efforts by the new pro-axis Irao
government to prevent powerful
British forces from entering the
country are part of a wider move
ment to create suspicion of British
power in the minds of the Turks.
There is little reason to doubt that
Franz Won Papen, German ambassa-
dor to Turkey, has been the moving
spirit in this action.
Iraq, before the last world war
comprised three vilayets under
Turkish rule. Their freedom from
the Turks was due entirely to the
British army which fought the
Turks in MeSopotamia, now included
in Iraq.
ACT OF INGRATITUDE
The subsequent grant of indie
pendence to Iraq, which had been
inundated to Great Britain, was
liekWise due to British action. The
recent anti-British coup d'etat il
Iraq can be considered an act of
ingratitude; but it apparently was
accomplished by axis diplomacy.
pointing out that Turkey, the former
enemy of Iraq's freedom, now is
allied with the British empire.
Turkey is suspicious that Iraq
seeks to expand its northern bound
aries into Turkish territory. If the
Germans can create an impression
in Ankara that their new influence
in CT lot n
press this ambition, then Won Paper
may widen his influence with the
Turkish government
The original movement of Brit
ish troops into Iraq and their pres
ent reinforcement thus is not con-
cerned entirely with the protection
of the Iraq oil fields. Deeper than
that objective seems to be a struggle
below the surface, between the axis
and the British to impress the
Turkish authorities.
VICTORY POSSIBLE
If Great Britain succeeds In
checking the antagoniSm of the
Iraq government and taking ade-
quate military precautions to pro-
tect British interests, the Turks will
rest easier. In that event, Germany
will have suffered a diplomatic de-
feat in the middle east
Should the British policy show
weakness in Iraq, which does not
appear likely, the Turks will re-
gard the situation with uncertainty
at least. In that event, the Germans
will expect to gain some advantage
in the present struggle for influ-
encing Turkish policies.
A clash between the British and
1raq governments, if it continues
for any considerable time, must
make the Turkish military authori-
ties uneasy regarding their dispo-
siton of troops. They cannot afford
to leave ther frontier bordering
1raq unprotected in the event of the
Pro-German 1raq administration
gaining power and prestige.

Axis Regards U. 5.
As Enemy Marion

ROME, May CUP) = The axis
now regards the United States as
a 100 per cent enemy" Benito
Mussolinis ewspaper, Popolo
d'Italia of Milan, asserted today.
The article, written by Mario
Appelius, leading military and po-
litical commentator, was taken as
an authoritative statement of the
axis view of Americas position in
Che international situation.
The attitude of the Washington
government toward Italy, Japan,
Germany, Hungary, Bulgaria, Ru-
mania, Slovakia, and Croatia, is
the attitude of an enemy and
merits being treated as such,' APP
