WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS England Extends Sea Blockade As Nazis Continue Air Raids; Japanese Arrest British 'Spies' (EDITOR'S NOTE When opinions are expressed In these columns, they re those of the news analyst and not necessarily of this newspaper.) (Releai by Western Newspaper Union. TOE WAR: Extensions While England extended her sea blockade of Europe to include the coastlines of Spain and Portugal to cut off possible re-shipments of war supplies through these countries to Germany and Italy, the axis powers were busy extending their air and submarine warfare against the British Brit-ish isles. With new and more stringent orders or-ders the British high command threw the entire strength of the royal navy behind the restriction of shipping to the enemy as notice was served on all Atlantic commerce that all cargoes were subject to seizure unless navicerts a form of passport for approved shipments-could shipments-could be produced by the captains of the shipping vessels. While German and Italian troops were massing along the French coastline across the channel from England, the Nazi air force continued contin-ued its smashing raids against the coast towns of Britain. Berlin claimed that the important port of Dover had been seriously crippled by repeated bombings but the Brit ish countered with the statement that always the invader was driven away from his objective, losing many planes in the process. Figures were released in London claiming the loss of 240 German planes in the past month. A change in the plans for the defense de-fense of Britain was revealed when the order went out to remove many of the barriers which had been erected across roads to impede travel trav-el of the invading forces. It was explained that now since the home defense has organized the entire is land into one "large armed camp" these barricades were not only unnecessary un-necessary but a possible handicap. POLITICS: Underway Thus far both Republicans and Democrats have confined their 1940 political activity to a long-range "hit and run" exchange of statements regarding the respective demerits of each other's cause, but with the Willkie notification speech scheduled for August 17, that date is looked upon as the time for the beginning of a "knock-down and drag 'em out" campaign. While Candidate Willkie has been busy conferring with party leaders on the draft of his speech, Democrats Demo-crats were casting about for a choice to succeed James A. Farley as head of the national committee and campaign cam-paign manager for Franklin Roosevelt Roose-velt and Henry Wallace. Alter several sev-eral prospects had been considered, NAMES . . . in the netvs C. Earl Browder, general secretary of the Communist party in the U. S., has asked the Supreme court to rule on his conviction on fraud passport charges. He faces four years' imprisonment, im-prisonment, $2,000 fine. C Youthful British movie star Richard Rich-ard Greene left his Hollywood roles to join the Canadian army at Vancouver, Van-couver, B. C. He enlisted. C Appointment of Walter O'Keefe, comedian, as entertainment chairman chair-man was announced by the Republican Repub-lican national committee. -C, Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies, headed by Chairman Chair-man William Allen White, sponsored a series of half-page advertisements In metropolitan papers urging the Immediate sale of 60 U. S. navy reconditioned re-conditioned destroyers to Britain. C. Neville Chamberlain, former British Brit-ish Prime Minister, now a member of the war cabinet, underwent a successful suc-cessful operation for relief of an intestinal in-testinal obstruction. (Ke'easfd by International Newa 8cniH). By Farnham F. Dudgeon rejected or refused to serve, Edward J. Flynn, Democratic national committeeman com-mitteeman from New York was selected se-lected and accepted his assignment. Alfred E. Smith, former New York governor and Democratic candidate for President in 1928, took another walk from the Roosevelt fold issuing issu-ing a statement to the effect that his backing would go to the G. O. P. ticket this year. Meanwhile, Willkie Will-kie was making a definite bid in the deep South for more of this anti-New anti-New Deal backing, but heard at least one southern political leader-Edward leader-Edward H. Crump of Memphis, Tenn., brand him as a "foe of the people," declaring that Willkie's whole life "has been a fight against the people.", JAPAN: British 'Spies' Although directly opposed to many of the political and trade policies of the British government in the Orient, Or-ient, Japan has usually been quite cagey about refraining from tramping tramp-ing too roughly on Johnny Bull's toes. But with the British pretty birsy at home and with the Royal navy occupied at the task of enforcing enforc-ing the "blockade of Europe" the Japanese have taken the opportunity opportu-nity to move in a bit on the English. It now appears that a very definite drive against British espionage and propaganda has taken form in Japan Ja-pan and the arrest of at least 13 British citizens well-known residents resi-dents of Tokyo started a series of diplomatic exchanges between the two nations that may have a very serious effect upon their future relationship. re-lationship. Domei, Japanese news agency, reported that one of the Britons Brit-ons arrested, Melville James Cox, newspaper correspondent, had committed com-mitted suicide while undergoing questioning by Japanese officials. Britain immediately demanded a complete Investigation of the incident inci-dent and called for substantiation of the spy charges but word from Tokyo was soon forthcoming that Japan would resist any official protest pro-test over the affair. Japanese officials offi-cials announced that they had "sufficient "suf-ficient evidence" against the prisoners prison-ers and that arrests were continuing continu-ing despite strong British reaction. U. S. Ban Japan had a little complaining to do on her own score as the United States put into effect a government order requiring that all future exports ex-ports of scrap iron would be subject to a federal licensing regulation. Japan Ja-pan has been a heavy buyer of U. S. scrap for use in the manufacture of munitions to pursue the war against China and the Nipponese would be prone to believe that the order was aimed directly at them. While U. S. officials were non-committal, the feeling persisted that America might be taking a slap at Japan for her unfriendly attitude toward Britain Brit-ain and her ever-increasing friendliness friendli-ness for the axis powers. Included in the U. S. order was a phrase calling for the same export license requirements for shipments of aviation gasoline. Washington said U. S. supplies of this vital com modity were low but Tokyo said it was direct step to bring "economic pressure" against Japan. FOOD: Full & Famine While crop reports from Europe indicate that serious food shortages may result in near-famine for that continent this winter, the grain bins of North America will soon bulge with the huge surplus of bread grains and feeds. When the 1940 harvest is finished an estimated exportable ex-portable surplus of wheat alone of ' 60,000,000 bushels largest in historywill histo-rywill be stored in the United States. i Ame. Genevieve Tabouis, one of France's best-known political commentators, is shown as she arrived in New York, on the S. S. Britannic from Europe. Mme. Tabouis, one of the French columnists who consistently warned the world on the menace of Hitler, Hit-ler, is now reported a fugitive from the new French government. U. S. DEFENSE: Appeasement As the Congressional opposition to a peacetime military draft continued contin-ued to grow President Roosevelt asked for authority to call the National Na-tional Guard into immediate active service for a year's intensive training. train-ing. While it appeared that such authority au-thority would be forthcoming the opponents op-ponents of the conscription plan refused re-fused to be appeased by an offer of the proponents to cut the registration regis-tration limit to include only men between be-tween the ages of 21 and 31 rather than those between 18 and 64. This opposition headed by Senators Burton Bur-ton Wheeler of Montana, Norris of Nebraska and Vandenberg of Michigan Mich-igan argued that special training for the National Guard at the present time would provide enough margin of defense in the nation's manpower line up. Five Billion More As the debate over the manpower issue developed, the house of representatives rep-resentatives quickly passed another defense measure calling for the expenditure ex-penditure of $4,963,151,957 as a further fur-ther boost in the nation's preparedness prepared-ness drive. The money, requested by the President, would launch work on the two-ocean navy, deemed so vital if England's naval force should be lost to Germany. Also included in the bill, which now goes to the senate, sen-ate, are provisions for 14,000 addi tional warplanes, and cash for pur chasing equipment for 2,000,000 soldiers. sol-diers. TRANSPORTATION: Tragedy Railroad investigators blamed fail ure of a train crew to follow instructions in-structions for the death of 43 persons per-sons in a tragic head-on collision of a 73-car freight train and a gaso line-motor coach near Akron, Ohio. They said that members of the gaso line-coach crew had been instructed to side-track to allow the freight train to pass but for some reason had neglected to do so. Severely injured, in-jured, the crew members could not immediately give their version of the accident. CENSUS: 'Biggest' ' As adding machines click and results re-sults are checked, findings of the 1940 census continue to take shape. Latest reports indicate that true to predictions rural areas are growing at the expense of large cities. The "25-biggest" cities list has been released re-leased showing New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit and Los Angeles, Ange-les, in that order, still ranked as the five largest Houston, Texas, ranking rank-ing twenty-first and Denver, Colo., twenty-fifth, made the select list for the first time, crowding out Jersey City, N.
