that the United States was attack
ing italian submarines in the Medi-

Grating in the Mediterranean.
The editor termed a speech last
Saturday by United States Secretary

added:

If so let it say so and not complain
about possible armed reactions of
the Axis powers when its ships ven-
ture into the war zone.
If it is not in the war let it re-
main from debating laws of peace
which it could not stipulate for the
simple reason that juridically, un-
less proved otherwise, it is not a

they were meeting with a fierce
blanket of Red artillery fire and
tank-led counterattacks.
