Panama Canal to protect.
There are also, he said, endless
lines of ships crawling over the
waters Of the earth" that the Navy
must protect. To put it in its
simplest terms, Mr.. Knox explained,
the task of the navies of the United
States and Britain is to have effec-
tive fighting strength in all the
seas and all the oceans.
Speaking in contemptuous terms
OF Japan and Italy, Mr.. Knox laid
the entire world conflict directly at
Hitler's door.
Nazis the Big Opponent.
I'VE know who our great enemy is.
The enemy who before all others
must be defeated first" he said. 1t is
not Japan, it is not Italy. 1t Is Hitler
and Hitler's Nazis, Hitler's Germany.
It is Hitler we must destroy. That
done, the whole Axis fabric will col
lapse. The finishing of of Hitlers
satellites will be easy by contrast.
Japan, like Italy, Is just the tool OF
Hitler. Just as Italy was employed
in an effort to frighten Britain into
compromise when France fell. so ia
pan became the useful utensil of
Hitler, who sought, through this use
Of Japan, to divert our productive
capacity from Britain and Russia, to
our own use, and thus halt the
threat that this aid of ours to those
two fighting nations was to his pro-
gram for a European conquest.
Never in modern history has a
nation 50 obviously committed ma
tional suicide as has Japan. She

While insisting confidently that

He also was said to have charged
that the rate of new submarine con-

Germans reported.
The Keitel report has not been
verified.
The Star said the Moscow an

The rumors that Hitler had carried

Stockholm report yesterday quoting
a German spokesman as saying that
changes in the German army would
be announced at q suitable time"
This comment, according to
Reuters dispatch quoting Berlin re-
ports to the Swedish newspaper
Social Demokraten. was made spe-
cifically in reply to rumors that such
q purge had been carried out.
The Stockholm newspaper quoted
the spokesman, described as ofiicial.
as adding that the time of the forth
coming announcement of changes
will not be determined by foreign
propaganda"
The rumors that all was not going
we'll within Germany, and particu-

received impetus three weeks ago
when Hitler suddenly dismissed Gen.
