invasion of England before spring. . While Secretary Cordell Hull, National Defense Commissioner William Knudsen, Lord Beaverbrook and others hint that England may ot. be able to hold out: beyond spring without more aid, the tentative Roosevelt ~ plan—if accepted by Congress— aims at 1942 and 1943 production. With the suggested new factories and machine tools not ~ even “on order,” actual production E in many cases Y might not be pos2 Mr Deady shic boty int “The immediate effect is "psychological — a shot-in-the-arm someat like the famous “50,000 planes” ploposal. It is expected to strengthen: public morale in England and to give American public opinion somefRing new to chew on, while the President deals with the Qesiion of immediate aid.

Shot in Arm

“Se far the President stands on his statement of last month that he knows of no way to speed up. _neoretically, there are three ways: ~One is to put production on 24hour, seven-day basis under wartime control—to which both industry and labor object. “Another is to centralize present althority in a unified defense commission under a responsible chair-man-—to which the President objects. “The third way is to send Britain hs of our present depleted supof planes, guns, merchant ships, bmarines, destroyers—to which the Army and Navy object.

- President May Yield

"Although the President has withstood pressure for weeks from conflicting groups -advising one or the other of these three alternatives, he may act. He may even try a comation and modification of all vee. Hé may later appoint a defense with partial powers, go to Eye phen production in a few industrie and send Britain some of our oe g merchantmen, flying fortresses, submarines and 40 destroyers. “At the moment, however, the President appears more concerned with ‘promises of long-range aid to prevent London from considering Hitler peace feelers, which would leave the Nazis in Europe and Britain in control of her Empire and Navy. Peace Feelers Admitted

‘Shortly before Mr. Roosevelt made his “lending or leasing” statement, the British Government was admitting for the second time the oftén denied fact of feelers for a negotiated peace. Explaining the Nov. 5 statement of Foreign Secretary Halifax, that Britain had reJected repeatedly German sugges= tions for an agreement at the expense of France, Deputy Leader

For Your Old

Future American Armaments Shot-in-Arm to Keep Resistance.

: 9.—The President's trial bals - loons for “leasing” future American ‘armaments to Britain| encourages London to reject a negotidted peace and gamble| on eventual invasion of Europe with our help, but it avoids| Britain’s demand for more immediate aid to prevent Nazi

Lone, Snel told Se House of Lords: time to time there have fo poo Ben, ‘indications: that the German Government might be prepared to renew these suggestions.” Significantly, the Roosevelt suggestion for long-range aid to Britain was followed within a few hours by a speech of Secretary Ickes, violently damning any discussion of a negotiated peace as “appeasement” and worse. Also significantly, the Roosevelt and Ickes statements were followed by an official statement of the London Government that Britain cannot win the war until her Army has “struck and struck deep into. the Axis countries.”

Would Need U. S. Troops

If England is able with more American aid to beat off the next Nazi invasion attempt, which Lord Beaverbrook warns is scheduled be-

ion here that Britain could not later conquer Europe without millions of American troops—if at all. With Hitler's vastly. superior forces in equipmenf{ and manpower unable to invade England, it is argued that a numerically inferior British force—for England could not match Hiler strength without an A. E, F.—could not successfully invade the stronger-held continent. This situation explaing the shift in , British sentiment ' regarding American aid. A“few months ago the British were saying they needed our armament and supplies but not our men. Now they say in private that they need our Navy to-convoy those supplies immediately; and that they will need our men sometime later, if they withstand Hitler's March attack.

He's Left High and Dry—and Out $148

MONTGOMERY, Ala. Dec. 19 (U: P.) —It’s a crime to sell whiskey in Coosa County, the State Court of Appeals has held, but it's not wrong to promise to sell

keep the money. . The court reversed a two to three-year sentence given Lorenza “Murchison after conviction of grand larceny for taking $148 from a customer on the promise to deliver whisky later. The court’s decision declared that the customer “stipulated for * iniquity and reaped iniquity.”
