American Finds Paris Indifferent to Nazis

Enormous Support Indicated for 'Free French’ Move; More Light Given on Nov. |] Riots.

‘By HELEN KIRKPATRICK The Indianapolis Times and The Chicago Daily News, Inc.

' LONDON, Feb. 14—The casual visitor to Paris would probably think the French Capital fairly normal, according to the account of an American, who left there very recently, but a prolonged stay would

alter that impression. Every item of food is rationed

and in order to have a meal in a

restaurant coupons have to be given up. The restaurants are always

full, although most French people . only go out for meals about once a week now. Ration cards for Gfermans appear to be more generous, although the only way one can judge that is by the amount of food which Germans get in comparison with French. In the beginning the maitres des hotels and waiters were very obsequious to the Germans, bowing and scraping when German officers entered their restaurants. No more. They found that they lost their French patrons and now all adopt . a dignified and polite bearing without. subservience. ? The general attitude of the French people toward the Germans, with some well-known exceptions, is one of indifference. The presence of the Gestapo is felt more than seen, although everyone knots their headquarters is a famous hotel on the Champs Elysee near.Rond Point. Their presence tends to make people cautious in talking of Gen. Charles De Gaulle and his “Free French” movement, but it is believed that he has enormous. support throughout the occupied territory. 2 A first hand account of the Nov.

11 riots reveals the ingenuity of the French. University students, who had obtained German permission to place a wreath on the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, assembled and marched through the main streets, each one ‘carrying two fishing poles. As they marched they shouted “vyivi , . .,” raising their poles as they shouted. The French word for fishing poles is “Gaule” and the “Deux: Gaules” ‘were raised at the end of each shout. By the time* the parade had reached the Arc de Triomphe the Germans had called out the police to disperse the students, The Garde Mobile came along but appeared to take little action. Some German officers dashed in and a young student struck one a smart blow in the nose. The officer merely grabbed the boy by the wrists. A woman, passing by, leaped on the German, beating him over the head with her handbag. At that moment a German machine gun squad’ came along and both the boy and the woman were taken off in the German car. The machine-gunners never went into action as the demonstration had

Japan Uses Nazi Tactics

of alarm from Australia, the Dutch

Indies, Singapore ‘and Shanghai lead many prominent members of this Administration to believe that the long-awaited Japanese drive toward » empire (or kingdom-come) is now only a matter of hours or days. The Japanese fleet, having secured sure anchorage in Cam Ranh and Saigon, is ready to make a drive southward at a moment’s’ notice.

Dispatches from the Far East speak of troop ships waiting at Hainan Island and concentrations of soldiers. * And with Admiral Xichisabura ! Nomura in Washington as Ambassador, the stage seems to be set for the big drive, with Dutch Borneo jas the probable first objective—almost within waving distance of an American naval base. This is all on the cards: Though . & good many in Washington have jnot cared to see it, and still others have fondly imagined that a new act of appeasement was still practical politics. Admittedly, the Adjministration has been slow to believe in the danger and slower still to act. With a little good will, ‘China could long since have been Jat n possession of sufficient fightling planes to guard the Burma ‘Road. Even §tronger American naval and air forces could be in the Philippines ready to depart for Singapore, or wherever necessary, {at a moment’s warning. But fasci- ! nated by the drama in Europe, per-

+ 7 haps most Americans have failed to

see. that Great Britain could be stricken to death as easily at Singapore as at any other place outside the British Isles. The Japanese have taken, not only a leaf, but an entire book, from the Germans. They have imitated Adolf Hitler's peculiar tactics of

‘aggression. Their manner has been

never to move bruskly and never to talk too much at once. = Little by little, step by step, almost imperceptibly, they have crept down the coast of Asia until today they could, with the occupation of their semi-vassal Thailand, threaten Singapore and Burma by land as well as by sea. In this picture the United States has played the role played by Britain while Germany was seizing Austria and Czecho-Slovakia. It is a Japanese axiom not to get into war with us, just as it was Hitler’s hope not to get into war with Britain. The task of hiding Hitler's real aims from the British was confided to Col. Joachim von Ribbentrop (formerly ambassador to the Court of St. James’s) and he played it magnificently. Admiral Normura has come to this country to perform the same tasks: His job is to convince our people that Japanese ambitions are moderate and reasonable and that even if they are not, their fulfillment can not conceivably jeopardize any vital American interests.

NOMURA CALLS ON ROOSEVELT

Japan’s New Envoy Pledges To Help in Creating Better Relations.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14 (U. P.).— President Roosevelt told Japanese Ambassador Kichisaburo Nomura today that “there are developments in the relations between the United Statés anc Japan which cause concern.” THe new envoy in turn pledged himself tc do all in his power to “pring about better understandings’! between the two nations. Simultaneously, Senator Alexander Wiley (R. Wis.), asked the Senate to call Secretary of State Cordell Hull to an unusual closed, executive session of the entire chamber to give a confidential report on

the Far-Iastern and Middle-East-

ern situation. Mr. Wiley’s extraordinary request reflected the anxiety felt in official circles here over developments in the far Pacific. He saic that he believed there would be so much “dynamite” in the world situation in the next few (days that his suggestion would win sufficient support to gain approval, Mr. Rcosevelt: and Nomura exchanged formal remarks when Nomura (called at the White House to present his tredentials.

best students of Far Eastern affairs believe that neither idea is true. But it is Nomura’s task to get them believed—at least until Japan can get away with the next big grab, that should also mark the downfall of the British empire.

~ Predict Singapore Attack

LONDON, Feb. 14 (U.P.).—Diplomatic quarters today predicted a ~ Japanese ‘attack on the Netherlands East Indies and British Singapore, timed with a German drive into Bulgaria and perhaps Jugoslavia to force Greece to make peace with Italy. It was evident that all the way from Singapore to Hongkong, by way of Australia, the British Empire was preparing for an imminent

Japanese move—one which would be taken despite the belief here _ that it might align the United States as well as Great Britain against Japan. Singapore reported it was taken for granted there that the Japanese would strike soon. The Times, a conservative newspaper, asserted today that Nazis had taken complete control of Japanese press censorship and had honeycombed Japanese Government departments with their operatives. (In New York, Columbia Broadcasting System picked up a British broadcast reporting that Japan had demanded of the Netherlands East Indies permission to explore islands around the Indies, also mining and fisheries concessions; the right to exploit undeveloped regions; permission for Japanese laborers, shop-

keepers and professional men to

work in the Indies and the right to

operate an airplane service between the Indies and Japan.) Though it was reported circumstantially that Gen. Francisco Franco of Spain, in conference with Benito Mussolini, had refused either to enter the war or to permit Germahy to march through Spain to attack Gibraltar, Vichy received a report that German engineers had started to widen the motor bridge over the Bidassoa River between Hendaye, France, and Irun, Spain. This is the bridge over: which German troops would march into Spain from the French Atlantic Coast. Further, a dispatch to the Spanish Mencheta agency from Algeciras reported that Gibraltar would hold its" first black-out irom 10 o’clock tonight until dawn tomorrow, as a test. All during the war Gibraltar has remained lighted, even, though Italian planes attacked it several

months ago.

Mr. Rcosevelt said that he welcomed Nomura’s assurance that he was resoived to do'all he could to bring about the better understanding. | Secretary Hull himself accom panied Nomura to the White House. Usually a State Department protocol officer is entrusted with such a mission.

CHRYSLER APPEAL

FT. WAYNE, Ind. Feb. 14 (U. P.): «-U. 8. District Judge Thomas W. Slick today granted a motion by attorneys for Chrysler Corp., seeking review by the U. S.

The consent decree forbids the corporation to engage in certain automobile sales financing arrangements which the Government contended vere in violation of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. The decree was contingent on conviction of (zeneral Motors Corp. on. the same charge. Genera! Totors was found guilty last yeni, but an appeal now is pending before the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago. The original consent decree was scheduled to expire Jan. 1 this year, but on Dec. 21 Judge Slick ordered it modified to extend an additional year.

FINLAND FAGES FOOD SHORTAGE

Meager Supplies Trucked Over Narrow 350-Mile Arctic Highway.

HELSINKI, Feb. 14 (U. P.) —Gasoline is scarce in Finland today, but you wouldn't know it from the traffic that flows over the Arctic Highway trom Petsamo to Rovaniemi. With the Baltic, Sea virtually an inland lake as a result of the British blockade, the narrow, winding ribbon of concrete connecting the Petsamo harbor or Liinahamari with the rail head at Rovaniemi has become Finland's lifeline. Around the clock in the pale Arctic winter twilight, long columns of trucks—Finnish, German and Swedish—roll over the narrow road with its hundreds of curves and bridges and scores of sharp dips and rises.

$20 a Round Trip

To meet the demands of the increased traffic, an army of men work to improve the road. Only hardy and experienced drivers can navigate. its 350 miles and they receive the equivalent of $20 for the round

rip. Although the highway, according to experts, has a capacity of 10,600 tons daily, there never has been more than 2000 tons shipped in cne day. It is estimated that the harbor of Liinahamari can handle only 2000 tons a day. But only 25 or 30 per cent of this amount gets to Rovaniemi because of a. lack of trucks and experienced drivers. The limited facilities at Liinahamari and the British blockade of the Baltic have cut sharply into Finnish supplies. The shortage of foodstuffs and other vital commodities is reported to be even greater than was anticipated last fall when rations were fixed,

Need Ready Cash

Making purchases from the United States or South America not only involves the problem of payment but also .of transport. Finland . applied for a $7,000,000 credit in the latter part of 1940 from the United States, but it has not been granted. England has granted Finland navicerts for foodstuffs, but has not allowed her to accumulate any stock of potential military importance. : Finland’s most urgent needs are

ist. | rye and wheat for bread, fats, meat and raw materials for her textile

industry. Finland’s minister of supplies said that there is only enough rye and wheat on hand to fast until the end of May. .

HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 14 (U.P.).— Hollywood's biggest fashion show, featuring a buckskin bathing suit and a dress which worked like a

venetian blind, indicated today that the ladies next summer will be as bare as they are fair, The fairer the barer, apparently. The “Fashion Futures” show began last night in the Ambassador Hotel, at $5 a throw for 1000 American dress buyers who came to Hollywood this year because they couldn't go to Paris. The items displayed indicated the Parisians will have a lot to learn when they go back to dressmaking. .Take the buckskin bathing suit, panties and brassiere, with gold fringe around the edges. Mabs Barnes was responsible for that; she made it of about enough suede to produce a medium-sized pocketbook, and in it she installed a blond model. The venetian blind dress was whipped up by Howard Greer. If had a kind of push-button arrangement on the belt. When his model

War Moves Today By J. W. T. MASON United Press War Expert ) Reports of Jugoslav political leaders proceeding

to Berchtesgaden for a conference with Hitler indicate Jugoslavia's concern over the possibility of Bul-

a German puppet.

The Fuehrer may have to dispel Belgrade’s disquietude or sternly .swing the whip before proceeding with his plans in southeastern Europe. It is natural for Jugloslavia to regard with suspicion the persistent indications that Bulgaria will not oppose demands for right-of-way of a German Army if the The Bulgars would expect compensation for any such concession and it is over that point that Jugoslavia

must have feelings of uncertainty. Bulgarian statesmen have expressed desire for the return of «rritory now within the Jugoslavjan boundaries, as well as hoping for a Greek port on the Aegean. The Jugoslavs have no desire to be made to pay part of Germany’s bill to Bulgaria by being forced to part with some of their homeland.

Rumania Already Victimized

Rumania already has been victimized in that manner. The slices of Rumanian territory severed for the benefit of Bulgaria, Hungary and Russia must make Jugoslavia regard Bulgaria's obedience to Germany with feelings of alarm. On the other hand, Hitler cannot want to incite Jugoslavia to war. Whether the Belgrade Government would resist with force any attempt by Germany to give .Jugoslav territory to Bulgaria is unknown.

That might happen, however, for the Jugoslav Army is not friendly to the Germans, while Jugoslavia and Bulgaria are rivals in Balkan politics. It would not be advantageous to Germany if Jugoslavia suddenly were to ally herself with Greece once a German army started to move into Bulgaria. The Fuehrer may wish to assure his visitors from Belgrade that he has no intention of victimizing Jugoslavia. It is hard, however, for any country in continental Europe to be sure that a Berchtesgaden polity devised today will hold good tomorrow. Jugoslav Path Easiest

It would do Jugoslavia no good to join the Axis and accept German leadership. Rumania did that and has been a prisoner since. It would be much better for the Jugoslavs to hold fast to their independence and not tie themselves to the Axis, as long as possible. They would be in a better bargaining position that way than by throwing themselves on Hitler's mercy. The Jugoslav border has much easier entrances into Greece than the mountain barriers between Bulgaria and Greece. If the Germans are intent on trying to invade Greece, the way through Jugoslavia: would certainly be chosen by Berlin’s military leaders in preference to the other. But there are no indications that Belgrade wishes to allow a German army to enter the country to help Italy. Once in, the stay of the Germans might become indefinitely prolonged and certainly the Jugoslav Government would have to become subordinate to German military rule for the time being, as is the case in Rumania,

Hitler in Quandary

Promise to Jugoslavia of a corridor through Greece to the Aegean might well cause Belgrade to look with less disfavor on German expansion in the Balkans. Yet, Italy and Jugoslavia are bitter rivals.

- Mussolini would not relish an im- |

portant expansion of Jugoslav power.

INAVY PROGRAM

SPEED ORDERED

House Leaders Put Ahead FDR Plea to Improve Pacific Defenses.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14 (U, P.) — House leaders ordered extraordinary speed today for clearing President Roosevelt's new $898,000,000 request for the naval expansion program.

The program includes money for greater fortifications of Far Pacific island possessions, including Guam, Alaska and the Canal Zone, But Congressional leaders denied that critical developments in the Orient had caused them to demand unusual speed for the new money. Nevertheless, the procedure they have adopted for the bill—precedence over all other matters—is one reserved only for legislation of the utmost urgency.

Stark to Testify

The House Naval Affairs Committee met today to draw up whatever authorizations are necessary for the $898,000,000 naval expansion program contained in the iy of Chairman Carl Vinson (D. a.). The Committee decided to cail Admiral Harold R. Stark, Chief of Naval Operations, for secret testimony on a request to build an $8,100,000 air base at Samoa, southwestern anchor point of the Pacific defense line. Mr. Roosevelt followed up his original request yesterday by asking Congress for $40,917,000 more in appropriations and contract authorizations for War Department projects to bolster strategic mainland harbors and those in Alaska, Hawaii and Panama.

Authorizes Guam Project

The bill carried a specific authorization for a $4,700,000 project for naval defenses at Guam which would extend America’s defense arm to the Far Pacific. Mr. Roosevelt's request also included authority to construct the base at Tutuila, Samoa, between Hawaii and Australia. The expansion program emphasized Pacific defenses, appropriating $47,000,000 for improving facilities at the Pearl Harbor naval base and defenses at Midway, Wake, Palmyra and Johnston Islands. Caribean and Alaskan defenses also were stressed, with $27,858,500 envisaged for submarine and air facilities at Alaska and $60,000,000 in Caribbean improvements, including the ‘fleet anchorage at Vieques, Puerto Rico, and the Guantanamo, Cuba, base.

Johnson’s attorneys said they were “seriously considering. filing a petition to obtain Johnson’s release on bail. The restaurant handyman is accused of killing Mr. Shriver Aug. 23 at their rooming house at 827 Park Ave. It was said that two jurors held out for acquittal; eight members voted for two to 21 years for voluntary manslaughter, and two others were for a one-to-10-year involuntary manslaughter sentence.

512 Bills So Far

WHEN THE 512th bill was introduced in the House yesterday, Speaker James M. Knapp shook his head sadly. On the opening day of the session, he had asked the House members to avoid last session’s wild performance of 578 bills introduced, an all-time record.
