Delicate Situation at Martinique Where British Warships Bar Exit of Gold-Laden French Carrier May Provide First Test.

THOMAS L. STOKES

Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, July

upon a new and unpredictable course in world affairs result of the Havana compact for the protection of the

31.—The United States enters, as a

Western Hemisphere from Nazi muscling-in. This country assumed the leadership, and upon it will fall the chief responsibility for directing the r new W hemisphere

doctrine, which may entail a Pan-American trusteeship for European possessions in the new world. All the ramifications of the new hemisphere policy are not apparent yet, but developments may come soon in certain situations that already have arisen. In recent days the State Department frequently has discussed with British and French envoys the situation at Martinique, French island in the West Indies, where British warships have prevented the dearture of a French aircraft carYer loaded with 100 American-built

danes and, more important, $250,000

in French gold.

French Status Is Factor

The British do not intend to let this cargo escape to conquered France. Undersecretary Sumner said he had had a good many talks with the French Ambagsador in an effort to work out some informal arrangement which would avert any difficulty over Martinique. He has reasonable hope that some satisfactory understanding can be reached. The complications at Martinique pose an Interesting question as to the future status of this French possession. It all goes to the point of the status France itself. Is France still a sovereign state or 1S it a dependency of Germany? Upon the determination of this question will depend the treatment of Martinique ier the Havana agreement, The question of does not seem to have at the State Departnietii, though the department agreed with the Petain Government to accept Henri Haye, a French Senator, as Ambassador here, replacing Count Rene de Saint Quentin

Welles Is Cautious

William C. Bullitt, U. S. Ambasgador to France, who is now here, has expressed his personal approval of the Petain Government, Undersecretary Welles, in discussing the status of Martinique, explained that the Havana agreements did not imply for a moment that the United States 1s questioning the legal title of any iree or independent governmeni to its possessions, But circumstances might arise, he said. where a once independent Government would be operating under duress, and that situation would for application of the Havana that is, a trusteeship Asked what France became a ency of Germany, he replied that this would be such a situation.

ACT OF HAVANA PLEASES HULL ::

‘Decks Cleared for Action,

Secretary Says, Speeding Toward Capital.

WASHINGTON, July 31 (U. P.).—|

Secretary of State Cordell Hull sped back to the Capital from Havana today confident that the 21 Ameri-| can republics were ready to act with | swiftness, unity and decision against any threat growing out of the European war. Mr. Hull's optimism was expressed in a statement made as he left Havana after the second consultative meeting of American foreign ministers, and released through the State Department here. Three sets of problems and conditions confronted the delegates : they sought to devise a constructive program for implementing means oi continental protection and defense, Mr. Hull said. He named them as the possible transfer of sovereignty over certain islands and regions from one nonAmerican state to another; the threat of subversive activities, and difficulties and

“With regard to all three of these sets of menacing conditions,” Mr. Hull said, “the American Governments have manifested their full recognition of the dangers which confront them in common, and have created machinery for common action instead of faltering and abandoning the spirit of unity and concerted steps for safety,

Holds Dangers Recognized

“

. They have cleared the decks for effective action whenever such action may become necessary.” An imperative call for the creation of instrumentalities of economic defense was met, Mr, Hull said, by a resolution on economic co-operation designed to deal with the problems of war-created surpluses and disruption of trade, and with the possibility that European markets will be controlled by Governments which regard international commerce as an instrument of domination.

said,

As the meeting in Havana closed, |

Senate leaders here were wary in predicting whether the Act of Havana would be ratified. Senator Alexander Wiley (R. Wis.) said the declaration might be an “open challenge to war.” Usually well-informed Congressmen said that there were few obstacles to ratification, and believed the declaration would be sent in routine to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for consideration In executive session,

The United States is almost leading nations in dividing [force between Army and Navy. Germany, England, Italy and France have had separate air departments for years. Numerous bills providing for separate air force have been introduced in Congress since the World | War, but got nowhere. Advocates of a separate air do not contend that the Army and Navy should be wholly without airplanes under their own control. They agree that a certain number of planes, based aboard carriers and warships, should be directly under the Navy. They agree likewise that the Army should have its immediate air force for reconnaissance and joint action with ground troops. But aside from these units, they urge a great Department of Aviation, containing perhaps 90 per cent of all the nation's fighting planes "This would be a flexible force which | could move wherever the mission might be most important—now with miiiary air ail the Army, again with the Navy, at > operat inother time on 1ts own iunct with This follows the German forces, British patterns. air mi; In the minds an air of a separate concentration for the divisions—Army, Navy, Air—sMould an: our frontiers.” all be under a defense dapartment Opponents of a separate A which would be the high command, partment sav this GHQ al- Craigi . “w I] LIAM E directing and co-ordinating ready provides a flexible striking Mmanded relea 1 Er oFIOnS Er TS HA A separate air force, its advocates power which can carry the battle rested on charges Ri VIAN contend, would eliminate much anywhere.
