1angier Riot Follows
Explosion Believed
Fatal 10 Is Persons
Arobs and Sponiords Join
In Demonstrations
Against British
By the Associated Press.

TANGIER, Spanish Morocco,
Feb. 7-Rioting against British
business concerns flared up here
tonight "a hours after Is pers-
ons were believed killed in a
time-bomb explosion, again TO-
cusing attention on the delicate
alignments in North Africa.
(The Rome radio, in a broad
cast heard in New York Satur-
day night by c. B. S., said "Tele-
phonic and telegraphic COM
munications between Tangier and
Spain have been interrupted.
Arabs and Spaniards Joined in
tonight's demonstration, during
which the British post Office was
damaged and all windows in the
Minzah Hotel were broken. There
was a lull in the rioting after many
shops had been damaged.
Blast Follows Ship Sailing.
The explosion last night occurred
on a quay Is minutes after a steamer
had departed for Gibraltar. The
steamer left little earlier than
scheduled. In addition to the Is
persons believed killed. so were in
jured, including more than 20
Britons.
The Madrid press carried dis
patches from Tangier saying last
nights explosion occurred in a taxi
carrying a British diplomatic bag.
These reports said II persons were
killed and So injured.
The Spanish press said police
found q large quantity of British
propaganda leaflets on the ground
following the explosion.
Spanish authorities Immediately
started an investigation to determine
the cause OF the explosion, it was
added.
Tangier is in the former inter-
national zone of Spanish Morocco
over which the Franco government
of Spain has declared Spanish au-
thority and protection. 1t would
be important in any German move
to bolster its strength in North
Africa by sending troops through
Spain to Morocco.
Indication that something i'm
portant may be brewing in this
corner of the world was seen in the
fact that the German news and
propaganda agency, Transocean,
gave great prominence to the Fri
day night bombing and blamed 1t
on the British.
Saturdays rioting may we'll have
been connected with German con-
templated moves in this region.
Germans Accuse British.
German propagandists imme-
diately seized on the bombing Incl
dent to charge that the boat serv-
ice between Gibraltar and Tangier
was being used by the British to
smuggle nti-Spanish propaganda
leaflets and explosives to the Arabs
of Spanish Morocco.
Transocean charged from Madrid
that many pieces of diplomatic lug
gage shipped to Tangier were found
by Spanish police to contain ex-
plosives. The German agency said
it was even possible that cabinet
council would be called by Cen
eralissimo Franco to discuss the
situation.
Meanwhile, N. B. c. picked up a
short-wave broadcast from Algiers
reporting that French freighter
was destroyed Saturday morning by
explosion as it was unloading its
cargo at Algiers. The Vichy-con-
trolled station suggested that a
time bomb mo doubt" was con-
cealed in baggage trans-shipped
from Gibraltar.

Beware Of Lies

Lord Halifax, the British Ambassador, warns the
people of his country and of the United States
that they must be alert to Naz lies and present solid
front to the enemy
1--WE shall not sharpen the eagles claws by tweeking
feather from his TAIL If the lions claws blunt to
you you will not sharpen them by giving his tail
twist"
The British Ambassador urges Americans not to
swallow the sklful and utterly INSCRIPTIONS propa-
ganda attacks of the Germans There may be Amer
leans who still retain the idea that the United States
and Great Britain arrange peaceful world with
out cooperation so, they are rather dull pupils,
apparently unable to CLEAN lesson from the events of
the past few years.
Lord Halifax calls attention to the shipment of
5000 aplanes and 1000 tanks from England
in 1941, saying that his government "took appalling
risks with the safety of the home front In the same
period, the British received 1000 aircraft and 200
tanks from the United States.
The British Ambassador answers the allegation that
his country sits comfortably behind 100000 bayonets
Sin her island fortress" He explains that two million
of the soldiers home guards spare-time soldiers,
modestly equipped, whose full-time work is in war
industries" The 100000 soldiers have to defend
5000 miles of coasts and 10000 square miles of land,
all of which are subject to invasion at any time.
The people of the United States should view with
suspicion the efforts of any American to deprecate
the War activity of Great Britain The same can be
said of those who seek to spread disrst of Russia
China. Whether want it not, the welfare
and future security of this country is wrapped UP with
the destinies of these three great countries.

In 1885, after years of controversy and many tests
authorities small adopted the Garand rifle
Word from General Macarthur, Bataan PENN
sua, is that the rifle has proved itself excellent" in
combat. 1t is superior to the older Springfield and
develops no mechanical defects under combat opera
tions. When used in fox-holes, it did not clog from
dust and dirt and in instances of the rifles
in constant action for much week without
cleaning fabrication.
The great advantage of the Garand rifle is that
fires eight shots, with the user simply pulling the
trigger for each shot, The soldier does not have to
bring his rifle off the target by handling bolt between
each shot, It is abor-saving device, with the recoil
doing the work 1t almost doubles the firing efficiency
of an nfantryman.

Tired Of Defense

Most Americans will applaud the declaration of
Wendell L. Wille that he is tred of hearing of de-
tense effort, and defense rallies, and even defense
bonds" The time has for to assume an
aggressive attitude and to prepare ourselves psyche
logically for striking at the enemy wherever he may
happen to be-
Certainly Americans should not expect to win this
war on the defensive This means for us to lock our
selves in the United States and wait for Great Britain
Russia and China to beat enemies. After all, let
keep in mind the fact that Japan declared war on
the United States and notified of her belgerency
by treacherous attack upon Pearl Harb6r.
We cannot meet such aggression by waiting for the
While it may not be what we preferred it is never
theess national duty to teach the Japanese lesson
that they cannot learn until some Americans give
demonstration of military efficiency in Tokyo.
