Troops Reported at Brazzaville.


United States troops were reported
a month ago at Brazzaville, French
Equatorial Africa, and at Leopold
vile, Belgian Congo. On October
2 the German radio said about 20
ships carrying United States soldiers
and war material arrived at Port
Takoradi on the African gold coast
This report was without confirma-
ton, however.
The arrival of the Americans in
Liberia emphasized in the minds of
observers the growing Importance
of the African theater of the war.
In this connection the London
Times said that decisions taken
during the visit of Prime Minister
Jan Christian Smuts (of the Union
of South Africa) to London " call
for allied agreements on action in
the new year and earlier in several
theaters of war. The combined
chiefs of staff committee Gin Wash
ington) is understood to be already
at work on new aspects of problems
of the offensive"

$50 Miles of Coast Line.
Liberia has about $50 miles oil
coast line extending from the Brit
ish colony of Sierra Leone, on the
west, to the French Colony of the
Ivory Coast, on the east.
The Republic had its origin in the
efforts of several American philan-
thropic societies to make permanent
provision for freed American slaves
by establishing colony for them
In 1922 a settlement was formed
near the spot where Monrovia now
stands. The Republic was founded
in 1847.
The chief enterprise in Liberia at
present is Firestone Plantations Co.,
subsidiary of Firestone Tire & Rub
ber Co. The total production, how
ever, is relatively small.

Reports Of Films Fighting
Against Reds Denied Here

The Finnish Legation last night
denied reports that troops from Fin
land were engaged in military op-
erations with the Nazis in Central
Russia
The Legation conceded, however,
that Finnish volunteers who joined
the German Army before the out
break of the Soviet-German war"
were among troops the Nazis were
pouring into the campaign along
the southern front. That informa-
ton was based, the Legation said
on reports from Helsinki.
The legations statement was
prompted by recent reports from
Maurice Hindus, author and news
paper correspondent, that he had
been told by peasants of Firms
perpetrating "outrages too horrify-
ing to report"
Mr.. Hindus, writing from Mos
COW, said these stories came from
Pogoreloye, Goroditshe and Yasn.
ava Polyana in Central Russia, ac-
cording to the Legation. These
places, the statement said, are
hundreds of miles from Finland
and the Finnish 'front.'"

keIIand Talk Is Called
Negotiated Peace
Stand by Mccormack
Rudio Speech Declared
An Appeal for Votes
Based on Disunity'
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
House Majority Leader McCor-
mack said last night that only one
Interpretation could be placed on a
recent speech by Clarence Budington
Kelland, director of the Republican
National Committee - that he
stands for some kind of a negotiated
peace, with only one qualification,
that it should not be premature !"
In an address over the Blue Net
work, the Massachusetts, Democrat
said:
Il was amazed, and as an Ameri-
can at a time when our beloved
country is at war, was stunned
when only one week ago tonight I
heard political radio speech made
by the chosen spokesman of the
Republican party, Clarence Buding-
ton Kelland, ." which was the
most blaring appeal along partisan
lines, an appeal for votes based on
division and disunity, have heard
since Pearl Harbor. Regardless of
whether this represents the feelings
of the average Republican In the
homes of our country his party must
stand by what he said.
Sees Smoke Screen
by the use of subterfuge and
specious argument he attempted to
create a smoke screen, in the hope
you would not appreciate the real
significance of what he actually said.
HE said in part: The Republican
Party will tolerate no premature
negotiated peace You will note he
said, premature negotiated peace
He did not say absolutely and un-
conditionally what is in the minds
of every loyal American, the Repub-
lican Paryt will not tolerate any
negotiated peace
There is only one construction
that can be placed on that Ian
guage, that as a spokesman Of the
Republican Party leaders, certainly
not for those in the homes who or
dinarily vote the Republican ticket,
he stands for some kind of a ne
gotiated peace, with only one
qualification, that it should not be
premature
well, to negotiate with our en-
emies is a defeat for democracy"
Urges Election Of Democrats.
Urging election Of Democratic
candidates for Congress, Mr.. Nc
Cormack declared:
do you suppose that in Toxic,
Berlin, Rome they want to hear that
the American people have gone to
free election in free country
and voted in unified support of the
party of the commander-in-c chief? p?
This is no mere political contest.
This is the first great opportunity to
show-and show incontestably-
unity of America. And in a world
in which fighting unity is the hope
OF America and the world, the
dramatic democratic display of that
unity in the election should be q
cause and not contest.
Il ask the American people to re-
turn an increased majority of
Democrats to the Congress in this
election"

were unable to close in for torpedo
attacks.
Flying Fortresses, Catalinas, Lib
orators and Hudsons which now are
playing an important part in At
lantic convoy operations provided
effective air cover for the recently
arrived procession of ships.
Convoy Sighted by U-boats.
The day after U-boats sighted the

rating from Iceland flew out over
the ships but the submarines with
held their torpedoes.
The following day, when the con-
voy was approaching its most dan
gerous waters, coastal command
Fortresses, Liberators and Hudsons
joined the American planes.
Air reconnaissance showed that
the U-boat pack had grown.
At dawn American Catalinas
bombed two U-boats which tried to
attack, sending the submersibles into
crash dive before they could let go
with torpedoes. Oil spread over the
surface after one of these attacks,
indicating a direct hit.
Early that afternoon a Liberator
spotted two more submarines which
tried to come up for a periscope
glance at the convoy. They went
back beneath the surface as the
planes approached.
Another Sub Bombed.
Less than an hour later the same
Liberator bombed another subma-
rine and machine-gunned it's con-
ming tower as it, too, submerged in
haste. A few miles away Hudson
bombed still another enemy craft
and bubbles, oil and wreckage came
to the surface.
A Fortress got into the scrap, at
tackled submarine and sent an
other into a crash dive. In the eve.
ming two American Catalinas each
attacked U-boat.
All this apparently scared mos
OF the submarines, for the next day
only two were sighted. A Hudson
attacked one, and the other divec
before the pilot could get in range
TWentyfour hours later the con-
voy was safe in British waters.
