And this figure was dwarfed by the 4,600 who came to tea, mak- ing the total for that one day, 6,200. The house guests were lost, al- though they were nd small crowd themselves. Major Hooker, former law partner of the President, got a room on the third floor, but other guests overflowed into three ad- jacent hotels. The big job of receiving these thousands fell not on the President but on Mrs. Roosevelt. The Presi- dent received only a few hundred, tut she received and shook hands with them all. CRISIS MARCH 15 Secretaries Stimson and Knox did not go into details when they told Congres;; they expected an inter national crisis in 60 to 90 days, but actually their War Department ex- perts have gone so far as to fix the the crisis to break. Their estimate is based not only upon the already known fact that British shipping and its convoys soon must be reinforced, but also on secret negotiations now taking place to establish an Eastern Front, thus make Hitler fight two wars instead of one. This was one of the big reasons for the pilgrimage of Colonel “Wild Bill” Dcnovan to North Africa, also for visits of officials from the Amer can nbassy in France to Algiers Their reports are extremely signifi- cant-—-asserting that Marshal Wey- commander of the French in Africa, has become vigor- ously pro-British Furthermore, he has stated quite bluntly to Amercian representatives that if he were sure of getting suf- ficient tanks, airplanes and ammu- nition, he would undertake a cam- paign against the Italians immedi- ately MUNITIONS FROM U.S.A.

Conversations between the British and Jugoslavs already have progressed to the point where London believes that country is now “ready to resist Hitler. However, the |Jugeslavs are most insistent on |one thing—ample munitions. | Furthermore, the Turks have mov- 'ed three divisions from Anatolia, in Asiatic Turkey, to Thrace, in Euro- pean Turkey, in order to be ready for Hitler. All of this is aimed toward the creation of a second war front— similar to the Russian front during the World War I—which would keep part of Hitler’s troops busy and di- vert some of his attention from bombarding the British Isles. But it is all dependent upon receiving quick munitions from the United States. For Marshal Weygand will not move without munitions, and neither will Jugoslavia. Moreover, this strategy is depend- ent upon increased aid from the British fleet, in the Mediterranean. But with several British warships put out of commission by Nazi dive bombers, the British are going to be forced to detach more ships from Atlantic duty and send them to the Mediterranean. That brings up the final and prob- ably most important point—Brit- ain’s hope that the American navy will partially take the place of dam- aged or transferred British convoys in the Atlantic, and convoy mer- chant vessels with our own war- ships. .
