potential enemies with a ready guide

situation. We have no such help
from any potential enemy.
1.-The arrival Or departure, actual
or intended, of ships and naval per-
sonnet, including, of course, our valu-
able marine corps, is news. This
news, however, if carefully pieced
together by foreign observers, would
give a very complete picture of the
disposition of our fleets, as we'll as
our military personnel
1T is true, of course, that foreign
observers in each particular locality
will see and be able to report many
such movements. During, peace-time
they will encounter some delays in
making these reports. Should war
be declared, mail and cable censor
ship, together with the mo%nitoring
of radio transmitters, will result in
the discovery and limiting of these
reports
EVERY available source of infor-
nation leads the Navy department
to believe that our new ships and

of, anything abroad. Foreign powers
are daily trying to learn as much
detailed information about them as
possible. They are not entitled to it.
Why make it available to them?"

lied by the Navy department, Knox
said that acceptance of the sugges-
tions has been almost unanimous
and the patriotic response to that
request for cooperation has been

From a few sources" Knox said,
has come an unfounded charge that
the Navy department was making
an effort at peace-time censorship.
Nothing is further from my own
mind or from the purpose of the
Navy department. -.

from the American people. But let's
keep our military secrets to our
selves"

On Four Points
Speculation on what the prime min

four points: France, the North At

and the possibility of invasion.
Neutral diplomatic sources said
Churchill might clarity the British
official attitude toward the waver-
ing Vichy government and couple
this with an appeal to the military
honor Of French army and navy
officers to resist further German de-
mandS.
These sources said the French sit
uation is "inextricably connected
with further British plans in North
Africa. A great and untested French
army, under General Maxine Wey-
gand, stands just west of Italian
Libya, which the British have half
conquered from the east.

ISTANBUL, Turkey, Feb. 8.-The
British were reported today to have
served a formal warning at Sofia
that Britain's air force would
bomb Bulgarian military detectives,
such as railways and communica,

enter that country.
I'm London, officials said there
is no confirmation of the report
that a note bearing the warning
had been handed to the Bulgarian
foreign office by the British min.

intended to head off the long ru.

come to Italy's aid in the Middle

too, that members of the British
legation in Rumania already had
burned their records in readiness
for instant departure.
The Turkish press asserted it
had learned that the Raj was pre-
pared to bomb Rumania's oil fields
and other military centers, as well
as those of Bulgaria, if the Ger.
mans moved to get at Greece or
Turkey.
Only last night the Bulgarian
government ordered a curtailment
of passenger train service toward
the Rumania, Greek, Yugoslav and
Turkish borders, and Sofia was
alive with rumors that the Ger.
mans were about ready to move
in from Rumania, where their
troops are understood to stand 300,.
