lowed most closely by French army (Here some lines were censored.) The French are not discounting the possibility of a military stalemate between Germany and Britain, but opinion varies considerably as to which will win. The French display a keen understanding of the war and realize what the consequences of victory by either side will be for France. I asked a high French military authority what the attitude of North Africa would be in event of invasion. “If a single man crossed the frontier from whatever quarter,” he replied, “we would fight. All we desire is that French North Africa remain at peace outside the war gone.” I asked him if he would regard bccupation of Spain hy a foreign army as a threat to North Africa and if he would feel freed from the Franco-German armistice conditions in this event “That's up to Marshal Petain” he said. “We are here to carry out his orders.” I asked another ranking officer ahout the attitude of North Africa in event Ttalian troops in Libya ask for passage across French territory. “We would disarm the troops and interne them until the end of the war,” he said.

F. D. R. URGES OPEN CHANNELS OF NEWS

BOSTON, March 14 (U. P.)— President Roosevelt believes all news channels must be kept “free and accessible” to safeguard democracy. The President's opinion was in a message to President Daniel i. Marsh of Boston University, read last night at a dinner climaxing a two-day program commemorating the fight for a free press in America. Tt read in part: “The fathers of the Constitution wisely guaranteed in the organic law of the land those great basic freedoms: Freedom of conscience and of education, of the press. of speech and of assembly. Not the least of these is freedom of the press, without which our institutions of democracy could not be maintained. “Indeed, since in the last analysis, democratic government is government by public opinion, it is of paramount importance that public opinion be fully informed.

BOLIVIA HOPES FOR SEA OUTLET

Chile Reported Willing to Cede Post, Wooing Nation From Argentina.

«By ALLEN HADEN

SANTIAGO, Chile, (By Clipper) March 2— and-locked Bolivia may at last get her coveted outlet to the Pacific, The “Beau Geste” on the part of Chile that this cession would involve has not ripened into official discus~ sion. But, say circles close to the

government, the matter was the main object of the recent visit to Pera and Bolivia by Chile's Foreign Minister Manuel Bianchi. Biianchi's reported scheme is this: Bolivia would be given Chile's northernmost port of Arica and with it a strip of land adjoining the 300 mile railway from the coast to La Paz, Bolivia's capital. Arica is Bolivia's logical and only practical exit to the sea. The raile way runs through worthless desert land that Chile won in war with Peru and Bolivia, 60 vears ago. Chile would benefit from the plan by wooing Bolivia from the orbit of Argentina—a feat of major diplo= matic importance since it would be accomplished virtually without cost, Bolivia has had free port facilie ties at Arica since 1904. Still the lack of her own sovereign port has always been a severe handicap. Many authorities agree that this lack was a leading cause for Bolvia's entry into the Chaco war with

Paraguay in 1932. With no exit of her own on the Pacific, she sought an outlet to the Atlantic via the River Plate system.
