Ships of many nations—Dutch, Italian, Swedish, Japanese, Greek —are going to the bottom, and there is no compensations for ships or ‘cargo. Normal trade is impossible. Ships carrying. cargo destined ‘either. for the Allies or Germany; direct or for trans-shipment through ‘ neutral countries, are subject to seizure or sinking. Moreover, . ships engaged in legitimate commerce are apt to

onary last spring signed a comjrehensive trade agreement with Rumania which at the time was regarded as giving the Reich almost

little country. Later, Nazis criticized the way in which Rumania was carrying out the terms of the treaty—and now it would appear they were doing something about it. War in the air continued briskly, with an hour's air alarm at Paris during the night and claims by both =the Allies and Germany that successes had been achieved.

Allies Claim Air Victories The Allies had claimed the shoot-

mines in western European waters. The latest hardship to heutrals is Eritain’s decision to seize all outbound cargos of German origin, no matter where they are shipped from or ‘where bound. Italy, Spain and Portugal hope for some benefit by diversion of trade through the Mediterranean but others are not so lucky. The United States has some advantage in the law which farces belligerents to pay cash for goods and carry them in their own ships at their own risk.

Merchant Marine Suffers

United States ships .are forbidden to enter danger areas, eliminating the possibility of loss from sinkings. Moreover, the British have worked out a system to expedite the Passage of neutral ships cargoes f America an the British control zone, The chief sufferer in this country is the American Merchant Marine, whose “area ‘is badly restricted. * The prospect. of setting the war in early and decisive fighting on the Western Front fades daily as winter comes on. The question arises of how long it will take for either side to win by the cut-throat economic struggle which is in progress. It may take a long time. Britain cant almost choke off supplies to from the west and over the Atlantic. Whether British submarines or warships can etrate and operate effectively in the Baltic remains highly debatable.

“You have all been reading in the newspapers about the latest German savagery—magnetic mines secretly deposited inthe channels of the North Sea in order to blow -up without warning neutral and British shipping and to destroy innocent lives in breach of the rules of war to which Germany only two months ago promised expressly to adhere,” he said. “Not even the inventiveness of Herr Goebbels (Nazi Propaganda Minister Dr. Paul Goebbels) can suggest that these sinkings were contrived: by the perverse ingenuity of Churchill (British First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill) ip rdet % Yurvy ine blame on Ger; Confidence in the future was expressed in a brief speech by Prim Minister Neville Chamberlain - addressed, at-a dinner in‘ his honor, 180 of his parliamentary supporters.

They cite various factors, which perhaps they wish rather than believe are true: Friction between Herr Hitler and his generals! a feeling among high Nazis that the war is a costly mistake and ought to be settled without too much loss of face; unrest among

SHORT-LIVED CABINET RESIGNS IN RUMANIA

BUCHAREST, Nov. 23 (U. P.)— The Rumanian Cabinet, headed by Premier Constantin Argetoianu, resigned today. The cabinet had been in office only since Sept. 28 when it succeeded a stop-gap ‘government organized after the assassination of Premier Armand Calinescu. The resignation, immediately accepted at the Royal Falace, followed conclusion of Rumanian-German trade negotiations. It was preceded by the resignation of Minister of : National Economy Bujoiu because of opposition to his suggested changes in the country’s foreign trade policies. No official reason was given, however, for the resignation of the cabinet, and it was announced simply that members of the Royal Council would meet with King Carol at the palace this afternoon to consider the situation.

Lone German Raider 1s Downed in Thrilling Battle Over Thames Estuary.

LONDON: Nov.-23 . ‘P).— British confidence in anti-air raid defenses was increased today as the total of German raiding planes shot ‘down over British territory this week increased to three. | One of two German raiders was shot down last night in a thrilling duel in. the darkness over the Thames Estuary.

PARIS, Nov. 23 (U. P.) —Intensification of German. aerial activity brought Nazi warplanes to the Paris area early today and caused a 55 minute air raid alarm.

The alarm was sounded shortly after midnight and the All, C signal sounded at 1 a; m.** lights played in the sky am watch ers who did not rush to bomb proof refuges saw tracer bombs burst in the air. .
