U-Boot Force Expanded
Substantially, Nozis Say
BY LOUIS p. LOCHNER,

Associated Press Foreign Correspondent.
BERLIN, Jan. 3l.-The well-in-
formed commentary DinSt aus
Deutschland regards Adolf Hitler's
dictum that U-boat warfare is only
about to begin in the spring as
probably the most important section
of his address yesterday.
Germany has overlooked no pos
sibility to expand her U-boat wea-
pom both materially and as regards
personnel in the best manner i'm
aginable," the service said today.
That applies not only to the
number but also to the training of
submarine crews, which cannot be
surpassed"
Say Hitler Meant Combat Zone.
Authorized sources reiterated en-
phatically that Hitler referred only
to ships reaching the English ROM
bat zone when he spoke of tor
pedoing vessels at sight.
The Fuehrer, in his anniversary
speech yesterday, said:
Let there be no deception about
one fact: Whoever believes he can
help England must at all events
know one thing:
Every ship, with or without con-
voy, that comes within range of our
torpedo tubes will be torpedoed."
The authorized sources said the
entire context of the speech showed
no other Interpretation was pos
sible. They acknowledged, however,
that the warning to neutrals also
was addressed to the United States
not to send ships conveyed or other
wise into this combat zone.
Question of War on Greece.
One correspondent inquired
whether Hitler's assertion that the
axis would now strike at England
wherever she put in an appear
ar1ce meant Germany would de-
clare war on Greece.
Authorized sources said naturally
they could not be more authorita-
tive than Hitler himself and left it
to each correspondent to do his own
interpreting.
The general impression gained,
however, was that German relations
with Greece would continue on the
present basis of non-belligerency.

NY tBe AbbUCAHtSo ELcehs
LONDON, Jan. 3l.-The British
press devoted its headlines today to
Adolf Hitler's threat" to the United
States, but in editorial comments
dismissed the Fuehrer's speech yes
terday as pure fantasy" and in
capable Of soaring Americans.
~ rational world can take it
seriously only as q revelation of
dangerous delusions of a disordered
mind" said the Daily Telegraph.
The Times said America was once
more warned of the dire con-
sequences Of giving assistance to
Britain" but added, "the tone Of
the warning showed a prudent dis
inclination to challenge American
opinion " ."
The Daily Express comment was:
"You may anger Americans by
threats. You won't scare them.
Swiftly Roosevelt gave Hitler evil
dence of that by releasing to the
world the text of his week old mes
sage to Lord Halifax (new British
Ambassador to the United States
1t is a pledge of warm friendliness
to Britain"
Both the Times and the Laborite
Daily Herald suggested the Fuehrer's
speech was intended for German
home consumption. The Herald
added, "It has no resemblance to
reality. 1t is pure fantasy"
The British BroadcaSting Corp,
in a German-language broadcast
heard by C. B. S. in New York last
night, remarked: Hitler is right:
this war will end with collapse and
. revolution on one side or on the
other, and we in Great Britain make
our prophecy The free peoples of
Great Britain and of America will
fight this war to the bitter end,
and, to use Hitlers own words. the
German people will do all that which
Is necessary for its own interests,
which is that it will be forced to
throw of the Nazis.''

GERMANY AWAITS
 DEADLIER PLANTS

Boston, Jan. 28. = (UP) - Prof. Samuel H. Cross of Harvard, former U. S. commerce department Euro pean division chief, believes Ger many's major offensive on Britain awaits only a supply of deadlier and faster planes than any yet seen. Mass production of these planes, su- perior to any in the air or on as- sembly lines in England America, is the real Naz threat against Great Britain, he told the Episcopalian club of Massachusetts last night.
 Prof. Cross urged immediate pass- age of the lease-lend bill as the only expedient to save Britain and prevent the United States from 'losing not only the democracy we wish to defend but the church for which we stand" He feared the Vatican might suffer as result of Nazi infiltration into Italy and be- lieved Russia would remain "neu- trai" unless 6 German defeat loomed.

Under the controllers plan, bond proceeds would be set up in cap- ital budget, which would be entirely separate from the city's regular budget. Debt service would be equal ized over a priod of years, and dur ing the period from 194l to 1852, the city's net debt Would be reduced a total of $7,195, 900.
 Total for Improvements
 The bond proceeds of $3,505 900 after payment of interest costs would make available a total of $2,645, ,000 for improvements. Bonds would be issued annually over 12-year pe- riod, in amounts ranging from $400,O00 down to $100.000.
 The proposed improvements in- clude a second pipe line from Mor- ris, new dam in that vicinity, a city contribution toward the erec- ton of state trade school, a rub bish and garbage incinerator, street paving and bridge replacement and repair.
 Controller Conlon said that the actual improvement program would be up to the various city boards and that his plan was gen. eral enough in scope to allow the boards to decide just what projects are most needed.
 Chairman Hall Opposed
 G. O. P. Chairman Hall said that the plan was offered in too vague a fashion and that he was in doubt about some provisions.
 ''But if it provides for refunding bonds, as it seems to do," he said, q am definitely opposed to 1t and I think that most citizens, Demo- crats, as well as Republicans, will oppose it."
 MT. Hall said that the sample" bill of the controllers was too loosely drawn. He indicated that he favored a public hearing on the proposal. Mayor Vincent A. Scully, who has yet taken no stand on the plan, may ask that such hearing be held in order that the plan may be outlined in detail to the public and questions answered before any decision is made on its adoption.
 GalullO Much Against
 MT. Galullo was outspoken against the long-range financial plan. He said:
 T have said before that I would oppose any bond issues for the city. Tn this case there are several req. sons for my opposition.
 ''In the first place the controller ought to tell us who notified him of the probable necessities, and in fbe second place who required him

ligated to Canada in such a way that 1t must be paid in dollars?" he asked.
 Because each nation has separ- ate treasuries," Morgenthau re. piled.
 But wouldn't the sums be paid in Canc .iian dollars?" Vandenberg persisted.
 These sums represent obligations beyond that" the secretary replied.
 Vandenberg said he could not un- derstand the discrepancy" between Morgenthau's figures and those re- gently published in the bulletin of the Federal Reserve Board, which listed the empire as having $7,000,- GOO 900 in dollar 70. -'ceS when the war began in 1939.
 Harold D. White. director of monetary research, replied that any discrepancy probably is due to dif- ferent methods of computation. The treasury and the reserve board may have grouped the component na- tions in the British empire differ ntly, he explained.
 Vanbenberg replied that accord- ing to the Federal Reserve Board figures, Britain's assets in this country have been depleted only $100 100000 since the outbreak of the war, which could scarcely be explained by a difference in &C., counting or grouping.
 General Support
 Although last nights White House conference on the bill did not re- suit in any definite commitments, these three proposals, in additoin to the suggested ban on U. S. con- voyS, appeared to have the most generla support:
 1. A time limit on the grant of power to President Roosevelt, so that his authority to manufacture arms for foreign countreis would expire on June 30 1943.
 2. A requirement. that the Presi- dent report to congress every 90 days on all lending or leasing trans- actions entered into under the bill
 3. A provision that no articles manufactured or procured by the army and navy shall be released to foreign nations without specific as- sent of the army chief of staff and the chief of naval operations.
 The two Republican leaders who attended the conference told MT. Roosevelt they would be glad to consider other amendments. The Democrats made no promise to con- cede any of the changes outlined above. The conferees took the position they were without author ity, since the bill is now pending sn the Senate and House Foreign Relations committees.

 Proposal Opposed

to study the financial question of the city. He makes both these claims in his statement published yesterday afternoon.
 Tn the third place, I question the claim he makes that the city has three choices. I do not believe we have to postpone or forego capital improvement. Any improvement can be handled within the regular budget on y-as-you-go policy. His second choice-a higher tax rate Il disagree with him that it is ne- cessary. My alternative is real economy in handling of city f1- nances. AS I understand his state ment he plans to pay for the inter est on the bonds out of the proceeds of the bonds. This is only putting of the day of reckoning. The in- terest has to be paid sometime.
 He's made the proposal look nice but I am not impressed at all and this proposal shows that the merry go-round we thought broke down, didn't. The sooner the people re- alize that bond money is a wrong thing the better of we will be. The Democrats apparently cannot un- derstand this. As figure it out the administrators solution for finan- cial ills is getting more bond money instead of effecting economies.
 COnlOn Pleased
 Comptroller Conlon in a state ment to the Democrat this morning stated: q am glad to see that pov letter to the Finance Board has created a public discussion. I think it is important that the public be- come very much interested in the city finances. I repeat certain capi- tai improvements may be desirable or even necessary, but the public must understand that they will be paid for either by taxes or by bor- rowing which must eventually be repaid by taxes.
 This is equally true whether bonds are issued for specific purposes or are issued as refunding bonds with the proceeds definitely allocated under 6 capital budget and appro- priations under that budget to spe- cific projects.
 My purpose in presenting a sam pie plan is to demonstrate the ef- feet that such borrowing will have on the present and future financial position of the city, both as regards current expenses for debt service and on the total amount of debt which will be outstanding.
 I am insisting that no program be undertaken without Q thorough understanding by the public as to It's eventual cost.

 Indian troops, scrambling over boulders and through thorn tree brush, took Admureit after fight ing for only three hours.
 The first of three clashes result ing from contact between Imperia. and Italian forces occurred at point 1892, half way between Aicota and the Biscia Road. This was the scene of a battle between Italians and Eritreans in 1892.
 The second clash occurred on January g at Cogni, west of Aicota and the third engagement was fought at Admureit.
 Several times the Imperial forces found that the Italians had retreat ed, evacuating villages before they could be assaulted by the invaders

 May Come Home Again
 Well informed quarters expressed belief that the cabinet ministers would remain in contact with their offices and that in the event of im- portant developments they might be given leave to come to Rome.
 Mario MuZ3arini, government wheat expert, ill 8 broadcast last night to farmers of northern and central Italy, urged an increase in the wartime production of food stuffs.
 Italian farmers can and must give the nation soldiers, foodstuffs f5F the army and civilians, and raw materials for industry" he said. Every farmer must be at his post either as a combattant or a worker. Working holidays must be subordin- ated to the needs of farming. Italy counts on the discipline and in- creased work of Italian farmers"
 It was announced that all persons engaged in manual labor would re- ceive supplementary quantity of spaghetti, rice, flour and corn meal, based on the sort of work done. Farmers and miners, for instance, would get more than office workers.
 Virginia Gayda, editor of the Giornale D1talia, wrote yesterday blaming Jews for what he called an ''unjustified, irrational and immoral rise in the stock market and said that speculation must be stopped energetically since the Fascist re- gime cannot tolerate diversions from its principles
