A Snare And A Delusion

This is the day Japan has declared it will

president is to be one Jose Laurel who was
chosen by an alleged constitutional assembly
for the most part composed Of recruits in

an party.
Laurel gives the lie to the promise of in.
dependence by saying, in his proclamation:

will have a political and International per.

One might say that Ellen Glas-

Miss Glasgow out a standpatter-

years of experience, and the fact
that wider public will have &C.

Virginia edition was limited to 810

Even though it is a negative
statement, the kernel of the whole

Bases In The Azores

The direct military advantage of Allied
bases in the Azores cannot be overestimated.
But the political advantage would seem to
be equally great.
Portugal and Spain, for example, have a
mutual aid pact providing that each must
come to the defense of the other if attacked
by third nation. This does not align Spain
against the Axis but draws her step nearer
the Allies. Spain would have to take up Por-
tugaps fight if Germany attacked or disavows
this covenant
Furthermore the new arrangement is con-
fidently expected to have SOLDERING effect
upon the Nazi-ized government of Argentina
which, some careful observers believe. will
hasten to throw off it's German shackles if
not actually join the other South American
republics in declaring war;
In the Balkans, the news cannot fail to
stimulate the growing revolt against German
control which has already seen powerful Y1l
goslav guerrilla forces in action. and is gain
ing support in Bulgaria, Rumania and Hun
gary.
Turkey, which is said to be committed to
alliance with the Allies, also naturally will be
the more willing and ready to play its part
as result of the Anglo-P Portuguese agree
ment.
Even within Germany itself the news can
hardly fail to affect morale adversely.
What the Japanese will do about the mart
ut Timor island which is Portugars and which
they overran along with The Netherlands
section, is not clear. But Tokyo may be ex.
pected to suit its own wishes alone and dis.
regard Berlin's. Tokyos contempt for Berlin
has been scarcely disguised since Russia be.
gan to- drive the Germans homeward.
The significance of the Arrangement fo,
Allied bases in the Azores is seen in the
breaking up of the ring of steel Hitler boosted
he had forged around Europe When the time
comes for a continental invasion from the
west, these bases will be invaluable as thev
will be, in the meantime, for additional pro
lection against enemy U-boats. The benevo
lent neutrality of Portugal further become,
a powerful weapon against GERMANY as i
signals the breaking up of German spy oper
atoms in Lisbon.

Davis Is Peeved

Elmer Davis is peeved. He don't like the
way Prime Minister Churchill Of Great Britaip
SCOOPS him and the American press on war
news. And he's dead right.
He is trying to set up an Anglo-American
news policy which will put stop to it. If
there is anything American newspaper editors
can do to help him he can count on their full
assistance.
Addressing the New York Rotary club, MIR.
Davis called attention to criticism OF the Owl
by the Newspaper Advisory Committee, to
the effect that the people of this country are
not being adequately informed about the war
and to the declaration of Senator Lodge that
"our fighting men are mad because of the
false optimism of our news"
He said that the Newspaper Advisory Com
mittee had found among subjects of criticism,
the one that most annoyed newspaper men
was Mr. Churchilps speech before Commons,
when 'he disclosed many things that had
been withheld on grounds of security, includ-
ing things the newspaper men had learned
in confidence but had been told they couldn't
print for security reasons" Nc editor will
disagree with his further assertion: II can
hardly say there was anything unjustifiable
in their annoyance at this"
The special reference. OF course. was to
Mr. Churchilrs revelation that no Allied nner-
chant ship had been sunk in the North Atlantic
for four months prior to September 10. There
is no just reason why, if the time was ripe
for this announcement, it should not have
been made simultaneously in American news
papers under Washington date line, instead
of having to be picked up later in accounts
Of Mr.. ChurchilPs speech from L n o n
sources.
This is not the first time something of this
sort has happened. It will be recalled that
and Roosevelt at sea the first full explanation
of the Atlantic Charter came from the British
Prime Minister, not simultaneously from him
and Mr.. Roosevelt.
OF Senator Lodges complaint, Mr. Davis
placed the blame for "sugary OPTIMISM in
news sent the fighting forces upon the Army S
Special Service Division, which has taken over
from the Owl the duty of sending news to the
war fronts. He promised improvement.
1t may be worth noting that with Washing.
tons incurable proclivity for confusing and
bewildering bureaucratic programs, the as.
sembling and disseminating of news, for which
the Owl was set up, has been nuddled along
with dozen or more other war by-products
If the Office of War Information was actually
established to give out war news, why is ii
necessary to take part of it's work away from
it and delegate it to an army unit which is
not trained for news gathering or distribu
ton? The ways of Washington are as mys
FERROUS as those of the 'heattan Chinee''
Of Bret Harris poem.
However, Mr.. Davis is on the right track
in endeavoring to form an Anglo-Americar
news policy in which the privilege of scoopine
us on this side of the Atlantic will no Longer
be enjoyed by the British Premier. More

Bx RAYMOND CLAPPER

WASHINGTON. - Both military
and political advantages go with
Portugal's action in lend-leasing to
Great Britain naval and air faci-
lities in the Azores, which Presi-
dent Roosevelt once described as
island outposts of the New World.
On the military side, we can
cover the entire North Atlantic
with shore-based aircraft. This will
be of immense value in the war
against the submarine The Azores
are more important for air than
for surface naval craft use.
Hitherto land-based aircraft have
operated from each side of the At
lantic and from Bermuda but a
large area in the center was out
of reach, exposing the main con-
voy routes to the United Kingdom
and to the Mediterranean. In this
area submarines lowered last
spring and did their most effective
work.
Finally carrier planes drove the
submarines out. But by using the
Azores bases for flying boats and
landplanes, we can release carriers
for work to which they are better
adapted and employ the more eff
ficient shorebased aircraft.
A Pan-American airways sea-
plane base and landfields are in
existence and operations from the
Azores probably can begin with lit
tie delay.
Politically this move on the part
of Portugal is of the widest sig
nificance. 1t points the way for
other neutrals. Portugal retains her
policy of neutrality on the Euro
pean mainland. But she makes
needed facilities available for al
lied military use.
This is a large concession be-
cause Portugal has been allowing
her neutrality to be used as a
screen for a considerable amount
of Axis dirty work. The hotels of
Lisbon, and especially the hotels
at Sstoril. a nearby resort, have
been parking places for Axis
agents. The Axis maintains finan-
cial facilities through the cover
of banks in Lisbon. Portugal is
one of the limited sources of tung-
stem, a critical war material, and
the Allies bid up against the Ger
mans until we are compelled to
pay the Portuguese 10 to Is times
the world price for tungsten.
For long time it was common
ly expected in Lisbon that the Ger
mans could take Portugal by tele-
phone and that the only reason
they did not do so was that they
profited more by leaving it open
to our side so they could spy on
the Allies and also use Portugal
as channel for obtaining cri-
teal materials.
That Portugal is now willing to
go so far as to hand over to our
side the use of her much-prized
Azores is clear indication that Die
tator Salazar has finally decided
where he should do business,
This is an impressive SEQUEL to
the action of Sweden in cracking
down on the Nazis by shutting off
German troops trains and military
supply trains, that traffic had been
safe and convenient Way of
sending perhaps a quarter of mil.
lion German troops in and out of
Norway and hundreds of thousands
OF tons of supplies.
Portugals action may have some
effect in Spain where Franco who
was set up as a Hitler-MussoIini
