O 1 v WORLD AWAITING (CONTINUED FROM FAOB ONE) Ankara that no matter what concessions are offered by Moscow Germany will go through with an attack on Russia. London opinion also was hardening toward belief that war Is likely between Germany and Russia. The British heard that Gen. Sigmund Von List, nazi commander in the Balkans, had established a forward headquarters close to the Be-eavra-bian frontier, in order to direct the nazi offensive if one is ordered. The Royal Air Force last night went into its tenth night of heavy attack on German objectives. This time Kiel, the huge nazi naval base on the Baltic, was selected as the chief target. The Germans made virtually no response lo President Roosevelt’s message to congress yesterday. A nazi spokesman limited himself to a sarcastic suggestion that the president's statement had caused American stock quotations to full two points, a suggestion not born out by Wall Mt»et reports of yesterday's market action. Washington. June 21 — (UP) — The President's message drew many approving comments from memlier.i of congress, although there also were critical expressions from foes of the Roosevelt foreign policy. As one of the latter, Rep. Knutson (Rep.l of Minnesota called the message "a curtain raiser for a declaration of war.” Chairman May (Dem.) of Kentucky of the house military affair* committee, said he approved "the President's stand in favor of maintaining our rights of the sea.' Rep. Eaton (Rep.) of New Jersey, a member of the foreign affairs committee. said It a "soutid American message," though "of course it Is one more step Into a great trag - edy," Senator Byrnes (Dem.l of South Carolina, expressed belief American people would "heartily subscribe" to the message. Several senators immediately asked the state department for detailed information as to the destination of the ship. Its cargo and whether It carried contraband of war. Previously the department
