‘UPON 4 MAJOR TROUBLE SPOTS Confers With Hull on Events In Spain, France, Balkans
And Far East.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25 (U. P)— President Roosevelt is greatly concerned with the turn of events in
| Spain, France, the Balkans and the
Far East and is making a detailed study of the problems with Secretary of State Cordell Hull, it was learned today. Mr. Roosevelt, wha had a lengthy
‘Jtalk with Mr. Hull yesterday, is giv-
ing particular attention to four phases of the international situatioh. They are: 1. Spain—where German Chancellor Adolf Hitler and German diplomats are working hard to develop more aggressive support for the totalitarian Axis.
Debate Future of French Fleet
2. The ultimate disposition of the French fleet and the role its disposition will play in the future de-
velopments of the European war. This situation might affect developments in the Caribbean, where the American republics would prevent any changes in .status of French possessions. 3. Greece and the Balkans—where an explosive situation is developing as German extends its pressure eastward. 4. The Far East—where American
“|nationals have beeri advised to come
home. The President said the United States still maintains diplomatic relations with the Vichy regime.
Martinique Watched
Under the Havana Pact signed last July, the 21 American republics are ready to take over the administration of any European possession threatened with change of sovereignty. This would include the Caribbean islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe and French Guiana in South America as well as the North Atlantic islands of st Pierre and Miquelon. : Officials here have watched developments especially closely with respect to Martinique. Some 100 American-built airplanes, sold to France before its armistice with Germany, still are there. The British Navy has maintained a blockade around the island to prevent those airplanes or a French aircraft carrier, tied up in the harbor, from falling into German hands. ,

collaboration on the economie¢ and
diplomatic fronts, transfer to Britain ot thousands of U. S. Army planes and guns and 50 destroyers, besides British priority over American defense orders in our factories. We do not know whether more U. S. Army and Navy planes, guns and ships are promised to England, or whether repeal of the Neutrality and Johnson Acts has been pledged. Informed persons say we are. We do not know whether we are pledged to send our fleet to Singapore. Informed persons say: “Yes,” We do not know whether we are pledged to fight for continued British supremacy in Burma and India. Official statements insisting on the status quo in the Far East seem to answer: “Yes.” { Whatever his intentions may .be, the President is taking steps usually preparatory to war—such as removing civilians from the Orient, increasing our armed forces there, and cutting down Axis supplies. Official statements on both sides definitely threaten war. Premier Konoye says: “If the United States refuses to understand Japan’s intentions in building a new world order in conjunction with Germany and Italy, and persists in challenging them, there will be no other’eourse open but to go to war.” Secretary of the Navy Knox says: “The military alliance of Japan, Germany and Italy is directed at us. America never has taniely submitted to intimidasion. If a fight is forced upon us, we shall be ready for them.” > 5 Does the Anglo-American alliance involve alliance with China? Obviously, yes; but how extensively we do not know. Does it involve partial alliance with Russia. Apparently that is what London and Washington are offering Moscow. Negotiations Ruled Out Does the American-British military alliance not only pledge us to
: |defend the British Empire as “our
first line of defense,” but also involve us in the eventual European-African-Asiatic peace settlement? If so, what kind of settlement? The Roosevelt. Dayton statement, that we “reject the doctrine of appeasement . . . it is a major weapon of the aggressor nations,” seems to rule out any negotiated peace. The only alternative to a negotiated peace, or an Axis-dictated peace, is a peace dictated by the British (or by the Americans and British). : Finally, do its authors intend that the semi-secret military alliance shall lead fo political union, as proposed by the “Union Now” organizations? When this question was asked in Parliament it was not denied but sympathetically postponed. When the two govérnments went into partnership on the Atlantic bases, in preference to the expected American acquisition of those British possessions, Prime Minister Churchill’s explanation was widely interpreted as a forecast of some form of union. The American public may “stop it”—at least after the war. Whether public opinion here will support a war in the Far East, as it now overwhelmingly supports material aid for defense of -the English isle, is unknown.” But if history repeats—and so far it has repeated, except that we are traveling the road to war faster this time than the last— American opinion afterward will react against the British Empire much less any form of union.

campaign speech. Noon came. No train—no Willkie. e learned that the train had stopped seven miles out for the address. It arrived at Erie more than an hour late, and there, as scheduled, the candidate made a speech, not the one planned, but an impromptu address to the large crowd that had waited for hours. On the train, correspondents were discovered beefing about the change in arrangements, about the difficulty of getting their stories off. Confusion. Excitement. Still the unorthodox campaign. And on the back platform, still doing \his ten-a-day, was the tireless Wendell Willkie. / Still hammering away in that throaty voice at “the third-term candidate” and the ‘New Deal. “I never felt better in my life and I never felt surer of the outcome,” came the voice from the back platform over the loudspeaker into the press car. Looking around, one discovered weary newspaper‘men, their eyes dark-circled, punching away at their typewriters. They had felt lots better in their lives. «This dogged sort of campaign— and I heard this as I toured ihe Middle West—is beginning to win the admiration of people; Like the regular drops of water on the stone that finally eat into its surface, Mr. Willkie has made an impression. The constant repetition apparently has begun to stir doubts in minds that had seemed to be made up to vote for Mr. Roosevelt, Mr. Willkie has sought to break the faith in the President held by so many without question. Fears have been planted, and the two which seem to penetrate most deeply concern .the war and the
third term.
These Mr. *wilkkie has talked about most, day .and night, a perpetual voice crying the alarm.

In the war at sea, the British Admiralty reported the torpgdoing of an Italian supply ship of 6000 tons, and a German torpedo boat, while at the same time admitting that the British destroyer Venetia had sunk after striking a mire.
