Wellington, 1011 NEWS FROM TURKEY Only events themselves, perhaps developing as| suddenly and with as little warning as the ice lesves, the Danube in the Spring, will reveal the meaning | of the “full agreement” between Britain and Turkey reported from Ankara. We do not yet know whether | this agreement forehadows armed intervention by Turkey in case Germany carries out her threat to| march across Bulgaria, or whether it means that| the Turks are to play a less active but still helpful | role, What we do know is that decisions of great| importance are in the making and that the British| have lost no time in presenting their case to Turkey. Proof of this is to be found in the prompt dis- patch of Anthony Eden to Ankara, in the ensuing conferences in which the British Ambassador to Russia took part, and in the swift seizure by the British Navy of the strategic Italian island of Cas- tellorizzo, lying close to the mainland of Asia Minor. 1t is reasonable to believe that the Turks have found in these developments, and in the continuing | success of the British in their African campaigns, | fresh evidence both of the willingness and of the| ability of the British to take the offensive in the whole Mediterranean area. It is also reasonable to believe that Ankara is well enough informed to see the larger world situation as it is now deve]oping.‘; and to estimate at its true worth the aid which the| United States intends to give the British people in this war under the terms of the newly passed lease- lend bill. While the conferences between the Turkish and | the British representatives were in progress the Germans were also telling their story in Ankara and spreading their own version of the choice that lies before Turkey. This effort reached its climax, appropriately enough, in a darkened room, when al group of Turkish officials witnessed a private show-| ing of a motion-picture film. Their host on this| occasion was the German Ambassador to Turkey, | that fifth-rate Talleyrand, that runner of dirty errands, Franz von Papen. And the film itself? A quarter of a century ago the Germans of a braver generation took pains | to deny the “atrocity stories” that were told of the conduct of their troops in Belgium and France. No German of that day bragged about those that un- happily could not be denied. Today the Nazis be- lieve such an attitude worthy only of the decadent { | | citizens of the |year in the United States, but it is not indicated | parently, to provide a final stopping place for | have no military value. “plutocratic demoeracies.” “Apolo~ Deny them? Why, atrocities are weapons, They scare people. So Nazi photo- graphers carefully filmed the crimes of the Nazi army in Poland and later in other lands, and on the eve of some new crime against a neutral country these films are always shown. The admission charge is high: the guests may pay with burned cities and the lives of helpless civilians, or they may pay in liberty and honor. Berlin reports that Prime Minister Saydam and Foreign Minister Saracoglu of Turkey were among those “impressed” by this grim Punch and Judy show. No doubt they were. Anybody would be. But| for once the showman may be disappointed as to the nature of the impression. The news of a tull‘ gize for atrocities?

Rugg and family arrived here on the City of Seattle. the Italian people a crumb of comfort—that a Ger-| man army was in Italy. That will be small comfort indeed for those Italians who remember that hundreds of years of Ttalian history have been devoted to efforts at throwing off the German yoke. German power in Italy kept the Peninsula divided against itself for years, | Italy was the last of the great European coun- tries to achieve national status, and then it was done only through the heroism and statesmanship of Garibaldi and Cavour and against the efforts and interests of Ttaly's northern neighbor and ancient enemy. Now, as a result of the Italian defeats by the British and the German “help” to Mussolini, Italy |returns to the status of a German vassal State. The dream of restoring the ancient Roman Em- pire has turned out to be a nightmare in which| Ttaly is losing the indpp@ndencp gained in the past| century. Il Duce says: “The Axis will win.” Even that won't help Italy. There is only one end of the Axis today, and that end is in Berlin. Mussolini, inventor of Fascism, is:the first victim| of the war that Fascism provoked. California is talking again ‘about splitting up| into two states, The Assembly is limited to 80 mem- bers and the growfh of Los Angeles has taken two seats away from San Francisco, giving southern | California the majority with 41.

It is reported that 2,000 eyes are put out each whether the chief cause is the height of women's skirts or the style of their hats. 1l Duce has shifted around a‘few more subor- dinates, giving a good imitation of a big-league man- ager trying to dodge a critical look in the mirror.

We suspect he means that we don’t admire Mussolini as much as he does.

Thus British-Greek fate depends in part on the weather. ORATOR VANDENBERG Genial Senator Arthur Vanden- berg is one of the most effective orators in the Senate. His mind is alert, and he has a command of phrases that makes the galleries lean forward to hear him. When he had delivered his major effort against the lease-lend bill, he retired to the cloak room, lit a cigar, and leaned back in an upholstered chair. One of his colleagues con- gratulated him on the speech. With a mischievous twinkle, Van- denberg replied, “I could have de livered just as strong a speech on the other side.” Senatorial loungers looked up, and Vandenberg added: “I could recite ; 50 unanswerable reasons why the bill should be passed.” FDR JR’S LAW FIRM Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr., is only a clerk in the New York law firm of Wright, Gordon, Zachry and Par- lin, yet he has already performed yeoman service for one of the part- ners, Partner Charles C. Parlin returned from Europe on the same clipper with Harry Hopkins. At Trinidad the British made the usual inspec- tion of baggage. In Parlin’s bags they found a moving picture film taken in Germany. Parlin had visited Berlin, had ac- cepted the Nazi invitation to take shots of Berlin areas which the | British claimed to have suffered heavily from bombing. The pictures | i | | showed hardly a scar. 0 wne priush seized the film and, for good measure, seized all Parlin’s other belongings as well. That evening, Harry Hopkins din- ed with the Governor of Trinidad. During dinner the Governor was called to the telephone and told what had been found in the Parlin baggage. Returning to the dinner table, the Governor asked Hopkins if he knew this man Parlin. “Yes,” said Hopkins, “he is a law- yer of high standing in New York, and the employer of Franklin Roose- velt, Junior.” Next morning, when Parlin ap- peared at the air station, expecting to find his luggage confiscated, he learned instead that everything was being returned to him with apologie: and best wishes for a safe journey. AMERICA FIRST BROADCASTS | In its hectic, last-minute efforts to block passage of the lend-lease bill, the America First Committee crashed head-on into the same ob- stacle that silenced the radio voice of Father Caughlin — the National Association of Broadcasters Code. There was no publicity about it, but big radio stations have quietly been refusing to broadcast record- ings of speeches by isolationist lead- ers, which the committee has been sending out, on the ground that their use conflicts with the code. Such recordings, under the code, have been interpreted as “contro- versial,” which means (1) that they must be given free time on the air, and (2) that an equal amount of time must be accorded to Lend- Lease proponents by stations airing the anti speeches, Big radio stations now broadcast so much “deadhead” national de- fense material—Army and Navy re- cruiting drives, special Army camp programs, speeches by defense of- ficials, and so on—that they can’t afford much additional free time for long-winded debates on aid to Britain. Result is that the America First Committee in its home-stretch drive had to depend largely on the smaller stations, unaffiliated with the NAB, MERRY-GO-ROUND On the President’s desk are the tools of his work.
