Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
TT Col Robert s. Allen now on active
service with the Army)

WASHINGTON ne-Wolt SEN
ator LANCER of North Dakota IS
planning to ask some potent ques-
tions regarding reports that the
United States has turned over part
of its light cruisers of the Omaha
class to Russia as a substitute LOT
Russia's receiving one-third OF the
Italian fleet.
1t will be recalled that, last WIN
ter. the President stated in a press
conference that the Russian Am
bassador had been to see him re-
garding plans for turning over one
third of the italian fleet to Russia
under the italian armistice terms.
This conversation, in turn, dated
back to last summer when Premier
Stain was complaining privately
that he had not been consulted in
advance regarding the first pro-
visional armistice terms with Italy
cat which time, incidentally, this
correspondent got himself in the
middle of some hot words regarding
the state Departments attitude to-
ward Russia)
Later. at Teheran, the subject OF
the Italian fleet came up between
Stain, Roosevelt and Churchill, at
which time Churchill demurred
against giving Russia one-third OF
the Italian fleet and, instead, pro-
posed that the United States and
Great Britain give Russia some OF
their vessels.
Churchills idea was that the
Italian fleet, for some time oper-
ating under the British, in the
Mediterranean, should be kept as
a unit, since he felt it was per-
forming an important mission IN
policing the Mediterranean against
Axis submarines. Presumably also,
the British Admiralty was not un-
aware of the fact that the Italian
Navy, recently built, contains some
of the fastest and most modern
vessels in Europe.
However, the whole question was
postponed for future discussions
after Teheran, and this was how
the Russian Ambassador happened
to take up the matter at the White
House

QUESTION OF U. S. CRUISERS

Recently, reports have cropped
out that some of the U. S. cruisers
of the Omaha class already have
gone to Russia. Omaha class cruis-
ers, built around 1920, are 1000
ton vessels carrying 6-inch guns.
Since they are all over twenty years
old, they are out of date according
to strict naval standards, though
in excellent shape for convoy or
patrol duty.
One of these cruisers, the Mem
phis, brought Lindbergh back to
the United States after his historic
flight across the Atlantic in 1927.
They were the mainstay of the U.

Axis powers, Hull SAID that how
long such surveillance will need

that they have repudlated and

other Points
Other points in the American
war and peace aim program to
which Hull called special attention
were;
/. Each sovereign nation. large
or small is in law and under law
the equal Of every other nation.
2. Each nation should be free
to decide for itself the forms and
details OF its governmental organi-
zation-so long as it conducts its
affairs in such a way as not TO
menace the peace and security OF
other nations.
3. Np7intervention in the in
ternal affairs OF other countries.
4. Political differences which
present a threat to world peace
should be settled by arbitration.
8. There must be international
cooperation founded on the princi-
pies of liberty, equality, justice,
morality and law.
6. To be worthy Of liberty, men
and nations must be prepared to
fight for it.
Z. The dependent peoples OF
the world, such as the natives of
colonial possessions. must be help
ed to prepare themselves for the
duties and responsibilities OF self
government
8. There must be postwar re-
duction OF ornaments and trade
barriers.
9. The financially stronger ma
tions must help the financially
weaker ones.
