Columns of enemy tanks and other armored units as well as infantry concentra- tions were shattered and dis- persed by our fire with heavy Japanese losses. Our counter-battery fire was particularly effective. Eleven hos- tile batteries were silenced. Enemy artillery elements have now been withdrawn well to the rear of the positions formerly occupied. Losses to American and Philippine troops were relatively slight. Enemy air activity was con- fined to attacks by dive bombers in support of artillery fire.

The inside story of the seizure of the North Atlantic islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon is told here, in the first of a series of articles, by the only correspond- ent who accompanied the naval erpedition of Free French forces who occupled the Vichy-governed islands on December 24. After writing the first reports on the islands’ seizure and the plebiscite there, the correspondent has re- turned to New York to write this uncensored series. By IRA WOLFERT, | correspondent of The Star and N.AN.A. NEW YORK, Jan. 13—Returning from St. Pierre via Montreal, your correspondent picked up the missing pieces of the international puzzle over both the Free French occupa- tion of the Vichy-held islands and the official United States reaction to it and is now able to put together a reasonably clarifying picture of these quite complicated events. A substantial part of the story was learned from the Free French, with whom this correspondent lived in Halifax, on the North Atlantic and on the islands themselves. Your correspondent was prevented from including it in his dispatches from St. Plerre because the Free French were, and no doubt still are, in- tensely anxious to avoid stirring up | the United States State Department |any more than necessary with charges, countercharges and bad- "e','r‘fi:"-d harangues. story is being.fold now - tirely on your correspotident'’s re- sponsibility—mostly because of 4he light it throws on the Free hefih and the Vichy French and ap We State Department. It is believed that the facts, as set down here, will lead readers to conclude that the State Department has not earned all the black words hurled at it over its attitude in this affair. ‘The St. Pierre affair began as an uncomplicated act of justice in which democratic-minded Prench- men were to be freed from a dicta- torship it was obvious they hated. But the complications grew in the space of hours until, in the end, the fate of the Vichy-held fleet, as well as the fate of all the stubborn and desperate men gathered together to fight for Free France, trembled in the balance and the world was pre- sented with the tragic spectacle of democratic Allies taking their at- tention from: a life-and-death strug- gle with the Axis to brawl bruisingly among themrselves. The St. Plerre affair began as a civilian enterprise. The Vichy-ap- pointed governor of the islands, Baron G. de Bournat, had squelched an attempt by the islanders to stage a plebiscite 1n which the inhabitants could decide whether to remain with Vichy or lire up with Free France and the Allies. Some St. Pierre bus- Inessmen and Frenchmen resident in Canada, wh)se names it is deemed advisable to withhold at present, re- fused to be squetched and invited Free French support in an attempt to force the plebiscite. The Free French were glad to oblige. An :ttempt was scheduled to be made last August. This was can- celed at the Iast moment. But the interested civilians kept pressing the matter and early in December re- ceived the yo-ahead signal. At the time, Vice Admiral Emile Muselier, head of the Free French naval force:, and his chief of staff were in Carada engaged in a num- ber of Free French misslons: He supervised tae arrangements for the St. Pierre aXair, but was not sched- uled to accompany the expedition. ‘The expediiion was to be led by civilians. However, Vichy agents were ac- tive. Whether they had access to secret information or simply made a shrewd guess has not yet been ascertained At any rate, they sesm to have cailed Vichy that Admiral Muselier wss preparing to lead a Free Frenca naval force against a Vichy posssssion in the Western Hemisphere—either Martinique, 8t. Pierre or F-ench Guiana. The posit:on Vichy then found it- self in must have been quite un- comfortable It had supplied all its territories cn this side of the water with arms and ammunition. For example, eaough modern guns of numerous arieties were found on St. Pierre by the Free Prench to put up the bloediest kind of resistance against any invading force. But the heartbreaking thing, as far as VicLy was concened, was that Vichy could not rely on finding loval hands to man the arms it had sent over. So Vichy did the nimblest thing GIFTS FOR THE ARMY—Miss Clara W. Herkert, librarian of the Public Library, looks over the stack of 100 books and some 200 phonograph records donated by The 8tar, which was the first contribution made by a local business orgsnization to the campaign to raise 10,000,000 books and records throughout the country for service men. —Star Staft Photo. Seizure of St. Pierre by Free Frenchmen Started Out as Civilian Enterprise it could do under the circumstances and hastened precipitously into ne- gotiations with the United States for an agreement on its Western Hemisphere territories which would make everybody happy but the Free French. The agreement was to make the United States happy by permitting it to take measures to neutralize the territories as far as active collaboration with the Axis was concerned. The agreement was to make Vichy happy by allowing it to retain sovereignty over its posses- sions and thus save its prestige be- fore the people it governs. was aware, at the time it made the enterprise brewing in Canada to force a plebiscite in St. Pierre is not known definitely. Some of those concerned in the affair believe it is others with equal access to the in- side story from the French side of known, since Great Britain knew of it. What is known fairly definitely is that the Free French had not yet officially informed the United States of the coup they were planning to launch. Those among the Free French authorities who declare the United States knew of the enterprise say, too, the whole deal with Vichy was inspired from the democratic aide by Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles and Lord Halifax, British Ambeassador United -States. men, describing them as “brothers under the umbrella,” meaning that, despite all the world has learned about attempts to appease the Axis, these men are still appeasement- minded. The State Department has not yet disclosed its side of the story and, no doubt, will not until the final fate of Vichy and the powerful fleet it holds in its power have been decided —a matter for this spring, some be- lieve. But the game the United States has been playing with Vichy and Vichy has been playing with the United States is not believed to be so much a matter of appeasement of or buying off Vichy as it is an attempt to slow up the process of collaborgtion between Vichy and the Axis. Washington, are having difficulty in finding air-raid warning signals of sufficient carrying power. Mayor F. H. La Guardia of New York told the conference of mayors at the Mayflower Hotel today that electric sirens have not proved effi- cient in cities which have tall build- ings. The buildings have a tend- ency to block out the sound and it often cannot be heard in the streets below. Manufacturing communities which can boast & number of factory whis- tles have a ready-made solution to the problem, he said.

Taxable Sfirs Congress Atfack Treasury Proposal Unfair, Taft Says; Gross Income Levy Mentioned BY the Associated Press. A Treasury suggestion for elimi- nation of the present tax exemp- tions on many Federal, State ard municipal bonds aroused strong op= position in Congress today. In search of the $9,000,000,000 in new revenues which President Roosevelt’s budget message called for, Treasury experts were reported to have told congressional leaders at a conference recently that from $300,000,000 to $400,000,000 could be added to annual receipts by making all Government bonds subject to immediate taxation, regardless of their date of issue. Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio, & member of the Senate Finance Committee, said he had heard of this proposal and felt that there was such strong opposition to it within the committee that it was unlikely ever to win approval. “I don’t see how it could be done,” he told reporters. “It certainly would be unfair to the persons who had purchased the bonds in good faith, believing that they were tax exempt. Of course, if the Treasury wanted to make future issues of bonds taxable that could be done, but it wouldn't raise very much money for the next three or four years.” As a counter-suggestion to this Treasury plan, some congressional quarters mentioned the possible im- position of a gross income tax.
