It will be commanded by Rear A:dmiral Ernest J. King, now com- mander of the Atlantic patrol force, and will have about 125 ships. The main fighting force afloat will continue to be known as the Pacific fleet, whose new commander will be Admiral Husband E. Kimmel, who succeeds Admiral J. O. Richardson as commander-in-chief. The Asiatic fleet, stationed in the Far East, will continue under the command of Ad- miral Thomas C, Hart. If you think advertising is unnecessary try to repeat the Ten Commandments, A legal proposition is something two lawyers understond the same way. no Key West has the harbor to harbor not only a Mosquito fleet, but any kind of fleet. The trouble with most unsuccessful or- ganizers is that other people refuse to do all of the work. > which becomes effective on February 1, the enlisted strength of the Navy is authorized to be increased from 192,000 to 232,000 men.

Aid to Great Britain cannot be justi- | fied upon the basis of friendship; it must be based upon the protection of American in- terests, the world has ever known. . ITALY’S AIR FORCE MYSTERY | The safety of the United States de- pends upon the possession of a huge air | fleet, a two-ocean navy and a modern, me- | chanized arm Announcement that German planes and pilots are in Italy for the purpose of as- sisting the Italians in meeting develop- | ments in the Mediterranean area causes no Ir ye olden days it was the practice by the police to make periodical raids bagnios and gambling joints to yield a'little | extra revenue to municipalities in fines re- sulting from the arrests, but evidently the niinions of the law have come to the con- clusion that a little change will do them more good and have created the new order which calls for matter with Italian aviation. Before the war started it was generally assumed that the Italians had a formidable | air force. It has done nothing worth men- | tioning in the struggle unless it has _par- ticipated more largely in the attack upon Britain than is generally known. The collapse of the French army was amezing but the failure of the Italian air Ky arm is a mystery.

It administered a hearty slap in the face to Ja- pan, by decjaring that China too was helping to defend American rights and principles. Foreign response to the talk could easily have been anticipat- ed. London called it “one of the most powerful indictments of Nazidom ever spoken”, and Brit- ish spokesmen, who have frankly placed much of their hope for eventual victory on U.S. aid, were jubilant. The South American press, which often speaks for the governments, was generally laud- atory—the Latin Republics have apparently been looking for a strong Jead in order to develop and affirm their. own . foreign policies, Turkey, a,countmy which has really been.on the spot in that it i of En#land and at the same time is within comparative- hooting distance” of y, was extremely pleased ' —one of the principal Ankara pa- pers said “President Roosevelt has read the death sentence of the Axis countries”. The Vichy press was cautious in its com- ment, which is understandable— the Petain government is forced to walk a dangerous tight rope between the French people’s pro- British, pro-DeuGaulle sentiment but said nothing new. Hitler de- clared that anyone who said the Nazis plan world conquest, lied— which, in the light of past super- frank statements by Nazi Jeaders, is curious. Japan, frankly an- gry, said the Roosevelt policy made a U.S.-Japanese war almost inevitable. Interesting reaction comes fram. on-the-fence Spain, that no U.S. troops would be sent to Europe was applauded widely —the fact is, of course, that at present Britain dees not need or want men, in that her armies are doing practically nothing except keep on the alert against possible invasion. However, certain im- portant government elective offi- cials are all set to fling down the gauntlet and fight the Adminis- tration’s belligerent policy. Senate leaders like Wheeler and Clark will make a strong ef- fort to have congress disavow at least part of the Rooseveit aid- England program—for example, they oppose the transfer of more U.S. fighting ships and airplanes | to the British flag. They also_ want to stiffen the Neutrality | Act, which at present is largely aj dead letter. It seems to be true that the new congress is as much opposed te war for this country as was the last—even though the majority of the members are ex- tremely pro-British. There will be many a red-hot battle in con- | gress’ world-scarred halls during the coming months. In the meantime, it may prove that one result of the speech will be greatly increased Nazi attacks on the staunch British Isles—the purpose being to reduce England before U.S. aid can be materially increased. It is significant that even as the President read his speech from the quiet of his White House study, blacked-out London was being subjected by the Luftwaffe to its most severe air raid of the war. Hitler knows that if this country ever is able to push its arms drive into high gear, a practically unlimited quantity of material of all kinds can be sent England. 1826—The National Academy of the Arts #f Design, an outgrowth af the New York Drawing Socie- -y, organized. 1878—Lead City, Dakota, taken over by border ruffians. 1879—Beyan, one of the ‘ious “Molly Maguires”, hanged it Pottsvifle, Pa.
