25 NaZi Divisions

There would be nothing to spare either in war material or ships to carry food to Russia which will be just as hungry as Germany this Winter, if not more so, if a Continental expedi- tion had 10 be maintained. Since there are some twenty-five divi- sions of Nazi troops in Western Europe now - a number that could be doubled in ten days or fortnight-it IS a question whe ther any offensive that the Unit cd Nations could mount would divert materially Nazi pressure upon Russia.
 There are some military observ CTS who argue that the defeat of the British Eighth Army in Lib va by Marshal Rommel has re- moved the hope of a new Vest crn Front this Summer. Others hold that that same defeat makes the opening of a new front im- peratiVe. II is more likely that lt will have no effect at all, for ne#-tront plans are believed never to have passed the if-and- when stage.
 Any military operation has to be decided on the basis of risks against gains. The maintaining of the supply route to Russia thru northern waters has entailed great risks. These were accept ed because it was felt that the gains outweighed the dangers.
 Possibilities in Norway
 One way to minimize the perils would be to hurl an expedition against Northern Norway and seize the bases from which the Nazls are raiding the conveys. There would be great risk, and it could be undertaken only if it became apparent that the peril in not undertaking it was great CT than taking an obvious step to secure a vital line of communi- cation to the fighting fronts in Russia.
 The Russians are using the same method of helping the Brit ish get help to them as the Brit ish and United States Air Forces have adopted in hindering the Germans in the West. They have turned to their air arm. Russian planes have been bombing Nazi air bases in Northern Norway in an effort to put them out of com mission, just as the Royal Air Force, with the aid of the United States Air Force, is preparing now to weaken the Nazi offens- i've in the East by smashing in- dustry and disrupting German communications behind the lines.

SkepticiSm Overcome

There used to be more than a little skepticism regarding Rus s.a's will 10 fight. That has been overcome, partly by propaganda from Moscow but mostly by the behavior of the Russian people, who have blown up the Dneiper Dam sc0rched their good earth and devoted their whole national energy to smashing the invader who has despoiled their land. There Is no longer any serious doubt about Premier Stalin's good faith in the minds of the people or the Government of Britain. All that remains is an honest question as to how far they can go toward making up the losses Russia has sustained and whether the best that can be done will be enough.
 Besides this question every thing else fades. Foreign Com miSsar Vyacheslaff M. Molotoff. during his visits to Washington and London, reached an agree ment with President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill on the urgency" of establishing a second front in 1922. That is al, most Like saying that Britain and the United States are agreed up- on the evils of the Nazi system or that almost every one is op- posed to a man-eating shark. MT MolotoG, during his visit here, received ample opportunity to see things through British lead CTS eyes, He was impressed. One of the things that impressed him most with the day-by-day ac- count of an Anglo-American con- Voy's passage through dangerous waters With war supplies for Russia.
 Convinced by Losses
 It was no easy passage. The fact that the British, an island national with their vital mer- chant tonnage dwindling and their naval strength strained to the breaking point, were send ing their seamen and their ships 10 almost certain destruction sc that some supplies should get through, helped more than all protestatious of friendship to per suade him that Britain was . true ally.

of inaugurating this brand Of base

and Yankees engage each other at

Before the announcement was
made that twilight ball had been
definitely set in Detroit, there
came the following wire from Will

"NO twilight games have been
scheduled in the American
League. Our latest starting

River Quiet Again
Modification Of Boat Order Brings Business as
Usual Back TO Fishermen and Yech+smen
BY GEORGE r. VAN

AS the result of a major modi-
licatlon of navy order made
known earlier in the week, fisher
men, yachtsmen and all others
using local waters will be able to
follow their hobbies virtually in
the same way as last summer.
The original order issued to the
coast guard by Secretary of the
Navy Knox required that all those
who ventured out onto local
waters in any type of craft must
obtain a permit seven days before
the trip was made.
This has been changed and the
new Interpretation says that all
small boats under 100 feet in
length must stay away 100 feet
from any site or building con-
nected with the war effort.
In other words, you can't 60

you go in any of these restricted
areas with any kind of boat you
must obtain a permit seven days
ahead of time.
Inasmuch as these areas arc
seldom used by speEiSmen, the
boys can continue to go fishing
