FAVORS KEEPING TROOPS AT HOME

Chairman Explains Policy Of *America First’; Flynn to Speak.

The only issue before the United States now is “whether we will en-| Ll ter into the shooting phase of this| —8 War and send our young men to § fight in Europe,” Merle H. Miller, chairman of the America First; Committee of Indianapolis said to- | day in a statement outlining the committee's present aims. The committee is sponsoring an address by John T. Flynn, noted | economist and columnist for The Indianapolis Times, in Cadle Tab- | ernacle at 8:30 p. m. tomorrow. | Mr. Flynn is to arrive tomorrow | morning and, after a press confer-| ence, will be a luncheon guest of | the Indianapolis Press Club.

Accepts Aid Verdict

Mr. Miller in his statement said: | “Our country is now committed | to a program of all-out material aid to Britain. That policy was af-| firmed by our proper legislative body | after due deliberation and with full opportunity for the expression of all divergent views. “As good citizens, we accept this) verdict and unite in giving this] policy a fair trial, with a prayer on our lips that the program will achieve its avowed purpose of obviating the necessity of sending our young men to fight in Europe. “That leaves only one issue, and | that is whether we will enter into| the shooting phase of this war and | send our young men to fight in| Europe. “That has always been the ultimate underlying issue, but many] people who agreed on the answer to that question were divided as to the method by which their avowed | desire could be best achieved. Now| that there is no longer any question} as to method, there remains only | the final roll call on the ultimate question.

Here's a fly's-eye view of the landscape plan for the Indianapolis Home Show which opens its doors for the 20th season at the Manufacturers’ Building, April 18. The plan was designed hy James H. and James E. Lowry, local

HOPE AND FEAR RULE PRISONERS

Political Refugees Provide One of Saddest Aspects Of Today’s War.

But today there are 7000 Spaniards and about 3000 members of the former International Brigade still living there, and the barracks have hardly been improved.

Unlike American partridges, they will not engage a dog in a long chase, but rather will dog to set or point. Until the present, the department has confined stocking the partridges to the southern, or nonglacial areas. Now officials feel that they are ready for a wider field and every county will be supplied with Chukars. The most recent stocking was in Washington, Addison and Marion townships of Shelby County, where 40 of the birds were released last Saturday. Chukars were introduced this country in California in 1928, where they fared well.

food is brought into camp in rolling kitchens and the men sit on their

bunks to eat. At Argeles, women and children live in a different section of the camp and their menfolk are per-| mitted to visit them only twice a month—providing conduct has been good. The Spaniards are allowed to enlist in workers’ companies, recently organized by the French Government, and there they can earn five francs (nominally about 12% cents) a day.

SEIZING SHIPS S VICHY GAME

But U. S. Can Play It in Bigger Way; French Took Over British Vessels.

By WILLIAM H. STONEMAN

LONDON, April 2—If the United States confiscates all the Axis ships it has taken into custody, in order

| game in a bigger and better way | because it can sequester more tone {nage than Vichy has nabbed. | Immediately after the Armistice | Vichy ordered the seizure of ap= | proximately 250,000 tons of British and Allied shipping, which was ly= |ing in French continental and | African ports.

Britain Released French Ships

In an effort to secure its release, the British first resorted to cajole ery. They released several French ships which were in British ports and repatriated all sailors who wished to return to France. When this did not work they bhe= gan to intercept and seize French ships which they found on the high seas. Since last October, they have [obtained 100,000 tons in this way, leaving the French with a net bale ance of about 150,000 tons. Since, they argue, Vichy has tied up all this allied tonnage at the [command of the German Armistice | Commission, neither Vichy nor the Germans can have any legitimate | complaint if the United States and | Britain play the same game on them, .

Tolerated French-African Trade

The Nemours incident brought the whole Anglo-French shipping question to a head. While they had been quietly seizing French ships here and there for some months. The British had tolerated a great deal of traffic betwen North Africa and continental France in {order not to arouse Vichy | They were vigorously encouraged { to pursue this policy by Washington which apparently has had far more faith in the fundamental goodness of Vichy than the British had. The British abruptly stiffened their policy only after Marshal Petain's vice premier, Admiral Jean Darlan, had given what they describe as a “false impression” of their attitude.
