The German: High Command
said the Germans had captured
30 British tanks between Larisa
and Lamia, north of Thermopy-
lae.
Nazi informants asserted that
the British in Greece were retreat-
ing toward the sea in “wild haste"
and that, under the relentless at-
tacks of German planes, troops
were being embarked even from
small harbors and in small boats.
It was said that wild mountain-
ous terrain and destruction of
roads and bridges had handicapped
the German forces in their drive
toward Athens.
Military commentators tried
to assess the results of the Bal-
kan campaign as follows:
FOR GERMANY—New air-
fields 500 miles from Alexandria,
an increased threat to the Dar-
danelles and the whole of the
Middle East, and the chance to
establish submarine bases In the
Aegean for attacks on the east-
ern Mediterranean fleet.
FOR BRITAIN—Damage to
Jugoslav and Greek resources
which the Germans would have
been able to use had they not
attacked, such as the harvest
and copper and bauxite mines;
the necessity for the Germans to
police new hostile areas; the
temporary blocking of the Ku-
manian oil flow to Germany by
the blocking of the Danube at
the narrow Iron Gate passage,
and enormous, German military
losses.
There were reports in London
that Germany has demanded or
shortly will demand control of the
Dardanelles. Berlin charged that
this was British propaganda but
actually did not deny such a de-
mand had been made.
$86,000,000 would come from gen-
eral excise taxes, $178,000,000 from
liquor, and $188,000,000 from to-

The meeting started with sing-
ing of the "Star Spangled Ban-
ner” and prayer by Rev. Edward
L. Hunt, founder of the American
Good-Will Union, who asked “God
to help the President resist the
efforts to make him betray the
promises he made to keep us out
of war."
Audience Hisses
Lindbergh was the main speak-
er, and provoked most of the dem-
onstrations.
He charged that “Our air force
is deplorably lacking in modern
fighting planes because most of
them have been sent to Europe,”
and the audience hissed.
He said, "The policy of the in-
terventionists has led to the de-
feat of every country that follow-
ed their advice since this war
began," and the crowd cheered.
"We in this country," he said,
"have a right to think of the wel-
fare of America first, just as the
people in England thought first of
their own country when they en-
couraged the smaller nations of
Europe to fight against hopeless
odds. ... I do not blame Eng-

NEW YORK, April 24.—The

Living Costs Watched
"President Roosevelt, the depart-

likely to remain fairly static un-
less wage changes are permited to
destroy the balance.”
The committee's report was re-t. .. . .....
leased as the ANPA began the veterans and Miss Ruby Wilson,
concluding sessions of its annual long identified with activities of
convention.
Wage increases, the committee
said, are "assuming alarming pro-
portions and the rate of accelera-
tion unquestionably will make
wage increases a most serious in-
flationary factor if brakes are not
applied.”
Labor Discussed
The committee spoke of "the
militancy of organized labor” and
said events of the past year sup-
ported “the thought that growing
radicalism within ranks of local
unions and ill-timed jumps in wage
costs will continue to require close
attention.”
Wage costs in defense industries
have been greater than in the
newspaper business, the committee
said, adding;
"There should be no connection
between the two. One is stable,
and one is emergency. In England,
defense industry wages have risen
as much as 36 per cent, according
to United States News, while
newspaper trade wages there were
going up only one per cent."

He said the America First Com-

the defense of the Western Hem-

but of independence; not of de-

presided. He was introduced by
Mrs. John P. Marquand, wife of
