tle of the atlantic put the issue of convoy convoying log strictly and squarely up to the administration in washing ton and the answer was seen to be forthcoming shortly if it had not already been made secretly it had so co far been largely a verbal discussion with the non inter pointing to convoying conveying as outright war and the administration forces sending up one trial balloon after another to test american sentiment as to whether it if was ready and willing for this important step briefly the position were these non interventionists held that convoying meant shooting quoting the president himself and that shooting meant undeclared war the administration forces took the simple stand that congress had voted all out old aid to britain and that it was foolish to build billions of dollars worth of war material for the british and then send it out on the high seas to be sent to the bottom the latter view was finally expressed in a long radio address by secretary of war stimson who was reported to have consulted president roosevelt about the address be fore for delivering it stimson was frank ile ha went further than the question of convoying which retreated he treated as a simple phase of the big issue whether the american navy ready and willing to halt aggressors on the high seas should stand quietly by and let britain b be e defeated through lack of control of the oceans or should bo be turned to aid britain and give britain the mastery of the sea without which she could not hope to win secretary stimson not having the authority nut hority to order out the fleet into active aid to britain was just making a speech and could not answer his own questions with action nel ther could senator pepper of florida an outright and frank advocate of open war who even went so far as to criticize the administration with which he was entirely aligned as not being bellicose enough in the present grave situ so the bottle battle ot of the atlantic while it was claiming american lives and american goods was still being fought nt at least openly by the british navy alone though the big scene of the tight fight was in tho the american halls of congress and in tho the american newspapers stimsons sons speech had ono one obvious effect however it served notice on tho the non that the time was not far distant when talk would be rd replaced placed by action one way or the other and his talk had its effect in rousing the ad ministration orators to anew a new frenzy of appeal to the great mass of the people to speak out bobow spoke out however at least nt in any mass that looked remotely like a majority on the other hand the administration seemed about ready to tako take action which would have far reaching importance por tanco there was news from san francisco shippers to their connect connections Jons in tokyo that the united states was planning to close the panama canal in a short time to japanese vessels this would have tho effect of lifting a very practical bar to the trade highlights in the news LONDON the exploit of 0 a boatswain of a sunken british destroyer was wap told the man swimming away from his sinking ship encountered tour four german fliers in a rubber boat ile he swam toward them and when they threatened him with revolvers he stabbed the boat with a clasp knife sinking it of the japanese with the eastern coast of south and central america as it would force these vessels to go around cape horn the announcement was without official backing yet it was made at a time when certain nipponese newspapers were urging repeatedly that matsuoka recent guest at axis capitals make a trip to the united states and try to improve japans relations with this country coun tTy perhaps reach a perfect understanding that would guarantee I 1 pence peace the closing of the canal however would be a blow to japan that she would not take quietly or without reprisals if possible it was viewed as the sort of blunt act that might with distinct intention shut japan oil off from brorn any further diplomatic traffic with washington STALIN in saddle one of the most interesting developments op ments yet one on which the analyst could almost write his own ticket was the assumption of josef stalin of the premiership of soviet russia the dictator of the soviet has never before held puli political office operating entirely behind the scones scenes with others to wear such togas as may bo be passed around the commentators took every possible view of assumption of personal office as head of the russian state these views ranged all the way from an about face on the war with russia about to take an active role against germany and italy in the near east to the view of kerensky former russian premier in 1917 who said he believed taking of power awer might mean that germany has a promise from the dictator of active aid on the german side it was a step down tor for molotov who went from premier back mackto to foreign I 1 minister a post he held before molotov was perhaps the finger ainge pointing t to the real reason for the change ile ho became foreign minister just before the dramatic signing of the russo german pact a pact which hastened the actual start of 0 the present war for it was the signing of this treaty that made britain and france realize that their hope of encirclement of the axis by land was vain and that they were really in a fight tor for their existence the only official announcement come caino from stalin who said that molotov was being relieved only after his own repeated re requests 00 london was inclined to a somewhat more rosy view of the situation than that of kerensky saying soviet russia has refused to sign a further german pact and has openly taken the stand that bulgaria was wrong in so doing and that was right to fight stalin now takes command of the russian empire at a time when a german drive to the east threatens threat ns what russia regards as her sphere of activity in asia no positive statement there but a general view that the whole move Is inspired by soviet disquiet over german advances toward the black sea the british believed the move meant a frank and active change in russian pulley washington while silent as to the real significance if indeed it was known at all saw three possible outcomes 1 that russia would merge the Communist party and the state into one whole with stalin at the head 2 that stalin would take over all power in he face of a german threat 3 that stalin would discard the old policy of russia doing as she pleased and surrender to complete collaboration with germany |
