S. diplomats are not shouting it from the house- tops, but there have been two important cccasions when the Brit- ish put a very restraining hand on American foreign policy, and checked major moves in the South Atlantic and . the Pacific. One move was last May when it became conclusively apparent that the Vichy government was the tool of Hitler and when many U. S. strategists favored the taking of Martinique and the Azores, and perhaps even a landing force at Dakar in French West Africa. But the Churchill government protested that this would take U. S. ships away from transporting supplies to the Battle of Britain: would focus American attention upon another part of the world. So Roosevelt kept out of the South Atlantic. The second move was about two weeks ago when Mr. Churchill telephoned the President to advise against any showdown with the Japanese in the Pacific. His ad- vice came shortly after the new Eskimos at For Bay, Greenland. pro-Nazi cabinet ~ took Wwffice in Tokyo. Churchill urged that the battle in Europe ,4vas the main show and the United States should not get absorbed with side-shows. Regarding this Churchill advice, there continues to be a wide rift inside the Roosevelt administration. And incidentally, there is not com- plete unity on this point inside the British government. Australian sen- timent leans toward a cleaning up of the Pacific situation, after which all parts of the British Empire, plus perhaps the United States, could concentrate on Europe.

Last might the attack was econ- centrated on the big industrial port of Hamburg. The British Air Ministry an- nounces Hamburg was plastered by high explosives and also fire bombs from big RAF bombers and damage was terrific. Berlin makes little mention of the raid except to say “Hamburg wos again air raided but damage is slight.” Staggering Sea Blow A staggering blow at Axis efforts to keep open the Mediterranean supply line to North Africa is claimed by the British Admiralty as rejoicing is broadcast over the sinking of seven of ten Axis convoyed ships and cne Italian destroyer, guarding the convoy. Seven ships were entirely destroy- ed the British Admiralty announces. The details of the engagement are meager but stated that four British warships rushed in the face of more heavier Italian ships, finished their jobs of sending Axis ships down, then returned to port withour a scrateh. King George himself has rewarded the British Fleet Commanaer, underscoring what he called “bril- liant and detemined action.” O A 0 ST ATTACK IS RENEWED ON LENINGRAD | pulsory mediation in defense labor - | disputes unnecessary .
