construction are carried in the ship which Is powered by two powerful
motors. Its crew of three has unobstructed views'on all sides through the

A Tightening
Following up the sinking of the
Robin Moor, the government tight-
ened still further its nets about fifth
columnists, first by freezing all Axis
^assets-in this country, and, second,
by ordering all German consulates
closed down, also news agencies
and travel -bureaus.
Another order, that barring the
leaving of the United States of any
German nationals until further no-
tice, plus the word that was sent out
that there would be a tightening of
immigration permits, was held to
be contingent on Germany's attitude
to the American protest on the
Robin Moor.
The fact that the remaining 35
Americans - aboard the ship were
eventually saved, the state depart-
ment said, did not change the diplo-
matic situation regarding the vessel.
America, President Roosevelt in-
dicated, was going to be firm from
now on with regard to fifth column
activities and sabotage, and was go-
ing to see to it that it was known
who was coming into the country un-
der the guise of "refugee."
WAR:
Of Nerves
In spite of considerable activity^
in the Near East and the North Af-
rican fronts, the war settled down to
• "war of nerves" again, with the
nervous tension reaching far and
wide as Germany massed men' and
machines on the Russian border.
The troops were not placed geo-
graphically close to the border, but
were so disposed that they were
within an exceedingly short distance
in time from what many believed
was a "bluff" objective.
The announcement that a Turkish-
Russian-Nazi pact had been drawn
up did little to relieve, the nervous
tension, as it was not immediately
confirmed, nor was it clear "whether
this would solve the situation.
For few thought that any such
agreement, made under the threat
of an army force variously estimat-
ed at from a million and a half to
two million men, would be long ad-
hered to if the men were withdrawn.
' Senator George, head of the for-
eign affairs committee, frankly ex-
pressed the belief that Germany, by
the move against Russia and the
concentrations in the upper and low;„
er Balkans, was "trying to make
sure of her eastern front" before at-
tempting the long-expected inva-
sion of Great Britain herself.
* However, even Senator George
sawjn the move the conviction by
the Germans that it would be a long
*od an effort to obtain satis-
supplies of wheat and oiL
others believed that I Riis--
sian-Turkish pact, implemented by
of sufficient numbers to con*
to enforce respect and' strict
e, might permit Germany
ufiiward through Russia
into the Near-East and.
East, and thus to cloao
on the entire Eastern
country. „
This was the stage setting that
caused the spread of the war of
nerves into Britain itself, tor day
AIR:
Special Arm?
The question of whether the Unit-
ed States shall have a separate air
force or whether the army and navy
should each have its own was be-
ing debated.
The senate had a bill for a sep-
arate air arm, under a new cabi-

GOOD NEIGHBOR CO-OPERATION
The United States is getting much
better co-operation from some of our
South American neighbors than has
leaked out to the public.
When Portugal protested to the
United States against Roosevelt's
net officer, just a&Jt&&.Jttmy and
navy each has its own secretary.
There were many taking stands on
each side of the guestion, but tlie
general feeling was that the bill,
if it reached debate, would pass.
However, some pointed to the ex-
perience of the British eastern Med-
flreside chat hinting tne
the Azores, the Brazilian govern-
ment immediately1 got in touch with
Pdttuguese had sent the Brazilians
a copy of their protest, and Brazil
asked us what reply we were going
to make.
Ambassador Caflrey in Rio de Ja-
neiro immediately showed Foreign
Minister Aranha a summary of oux
proposed reply, and Aranha volun-
teered to send Portugal exactly the
same answer—'telling them it was
vital to the safety of the Western
hemisphere that the Azores be in
friendly hands, and that Brazil could
not afford to see the islands taken
by the Axis.
This message was sent: which
means that Brazil will co-operate
with the United States if and when
the time comes to occupy the
Azores.
Argentina also has been-more co-
operative than ey.er despite the die-
hard efforts of our Rocky Mountain
congressmen to prevent the impor-
tation of Argentine canned beef. Ar-
gentine sentiment is overwhelmingly
anti-Hitler and pro-Roosevelt. The
Argentines are much stronger for
Roosevelt than for the United States,
and have their fingers crpssed as to
what may happen after Roosevelt
leaves office.
Dakar and Rabin Moor.
For approximately one month,
however, all White House advisers
have agreed that the Azores were
far less important than Dakar and
the coast jot-West-Africa. That is

And while such troops are avail-

are something else again. Once be-
fore, the British urged us not to get
mixed up in the South Atlantic be-
cause it would divert our navy from
the afftmportant North Atlantic.
The sinking of the Robin Moor,
however, has played directly into

planes when th§ RAF decided not
to defend Crete." The ships found
themselves practically at the mercy
of the German bombers, and losses
were heavy indeed.
The others pointed to the stories
about the Illustrious, a British plane
carrier, presumably as well
equipped as any fleet, could be to
cope with enemy planes*—yet almost
destroyed twice in recent weeks by
the fire power of enemy bombers.
The first school maintains that the
reason the fleet was in severe trou-
ble off Crete was that it was de-
serted by the RAF over which it
had no control, the RAF being a
separate arm.
The navy should have had its own
planes, and depended on them, it
was maintained. The other school,
in pointing to the Illustrious, showed
how the navy cannot expect US man-
age even its own planes efficiently,
as the two services are so foreign
to each other.
They also pointed to the disastrous
habit of army and navy aviation

economic procedure of production
when mass methods are considered.
Yet, it was pointed out, even if
th£ senate bill creating a separate
force is successfully carried, it
would be a long time before it would
actually get into being, for the army
and navy are too busily engaged
in supplying themselves and train-
ing pilots right now to allow any of
their energies to be spared to build
up a new separate air arm.
JAPAN:
Admits Failure
The upshot of the Japanese-Dutch
East Indies affair appeared to be
a total defeat for the Japanese,
though it was by no means clear
whether Nippon was willing to let it
go at that'
The long-awaited text of the final
Japanese statement, once the Dutch
had stood film and refused all the
jap requests and ultimatums, was,
briefly, this:
"So sorry, but everything will bo
as It always has."
The Japanese admitted they' had
accomplished nothing^ut that nor-
mal relations wiUrTne Dutch would
continue.
Yet back of aU these was the*
growing conviction that Nazi Ger-

CATHEDRAL OF AGRICULTURE
Paul H,. Appleby, diminutive, di
dactic undersecretary of agricul-
ture. made a flying trip to Nebraska
the other day which had aome in-
teresting inside background.
Purpose of the trip was to set
up what some agricultural hands
call a "Cathedral of Agriculture" in
Lincoln, Neb. What Appleby was
working on was a plan to pool all of
the different federal agricultural
agencies under one roof and under
one director at Lincoln.
These were to include the AAA,
Rural Electrification administration,
soil conservation, farm security, ex-
tension service, farm debt adjust-
ment, and so on. The plan was to
make the state of Nebraska a guinea
pig. to test'the idea. All of these
different farm representatives would
then report to one director in Lin-
coin rather than to Washington.
However, the proposed Nebraska
director was Cal Ward, regional
supervisor of farm security. And al-
though working for a Democratic
administration, he is branded as a
staunch Republican. His selection
therefore caused opposition from va-
rious federal farm representatives
in Nebraska who didn't want to Join
any "Cathedral of Agriculture" un-
der Cal Ward. '
Chief objector was Fred Wallace,
chairman of the Nebraska AAA, and
it was to bring him into-line that
Appleby flew out to Nebraska.
Appleby had first ordered Wallace
to Washington. But Wallace refused.
Even after Appleby flew out to see
him, he could not make Wallace
budge. "I'm interested in an agri-
cultural program, .not a lot of bu;
reaucracy," Wallace said.
Siefay stayed an extra day,
flew back to Washington. His
•Cathedral of Agriculture" for Ne-
braska definitely side-tracked.
