TOBEY POSTPONES * CONVOY SHOWDOWN

Awaits F. D. Rs May 27 Chat Before Offering Resolution; Wheeler Asks President to Negotiate Peace; Says Hess Flight Breaks Nazi Morale.

WASHINGTON, May 15 (U. P.).—A Senate showdown on convoys was definitely postponed today, while Senator Burton K. Wheeler (D. Mont.) called on President Roosevelt to seize the occasion of Rudolf Hess’ flight to Scotland to propose a negotiated peace. Senator Charles W. Tobey (R. N. H.) announced that he would not introduce his anti-convoy resolution as an amendment to the pending foreign ship requisitioning bill, which | was expected to come to a vote today.

the Nazi Party.” Fear or Insanity?

“Hess was motivated by one of two things,” Senator Wheeler said. “Either he feared a purge or h~ was crazy. I think Hess’ action is bound to have a profound effect on the morale of the German people whether he is crazy or sane because of what they are going to think of Hitler for having as lieutenant a crazy man. “It seems that this might be an opportune time for the President of the United States to step inand trv to stop further slaughter of hu-

“Saw Writing On Wall”

“We treat Hess merely as a Nazi who saw the writing on the wall and got out while the going was good,” one commentator said. “Hess knows what Hitler's plans are. He knows what Germany's capacity is. And knowing all this he thinks it is wiser to be a prisoner of war in Britain than to stay in Germany and await the day of reckoning.

[with the Nazis,

It was denied officially that Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden had talked with Hess and it was said no conversation between Churchill and Hess was likely. Mr. Churchill today briefly defended the Governments handling of the case and its supression of the news of Hess’ landing until after the facts had been fully established —and until after the Germans announced that Hess was missing. He promised commons that he would make an extended statement at the first opportunity compatible with public interest on Hess and on the Duke of Hamilton, to whom Hess talked Sunday night in the presence of British intelligence officers.

Hamilton Letter Revealed

Hess’ initial objective in coming to Britain, it became clear today, was to meet and talk with the Duke, premier peer of Scotland on whose estate Hess landed. Three months ago, it was revealed, Hess wrote him a letter, thought to deal with the “insanity” of war between Britain and Germany and urging efforts for peace. The Duke, the British censorship revealed belatedly, even after the outbreak of war between Britain and Germany—in October, 1939 — expressed the view in a letter to the London Times that, “I Jook forward to the day when a trusted Germany comes into her own. We will not grudge Germany Lebensraum. . . ." Thus, the British admitted, the Duke of Hamilton is a figure of importance in the Hess affair, second only to the Nazi leader himself. According to the British version, the letter Hess wrote to the Duke three months ago was turned over to the Government and Hamilton, who is an R. A. F. wing commander, Those revelations appeared to indicate that Hess’ mission may have been a well-laid plan, calculated to

away and enter war.” ‘he would be safer in Britain.

[confronting Britain with “a last | chance” peace proposal before the launching of an all-out attack, | backed by an organized Europe and, | possibly, Soviet Russia. How far the Hess plan has back-

fired is not yet evident. It was not yet certain, for example, that the Nazi propaganda machine will not be able to make use of the Hess visit, either for the purpose of alleging to the British public that the Churchill Government is rebuffing reasonable peace efforts or for other more sweeping purposes in connection with the active Nazi dip- | lomatic efforts against Britain now | under way throughout the world. Hitler seemed to have abandoned his idea of explaining the case for the German people and to be preparing “surprises” instead.

Hess Recovers Rapidly

Hess himself was said to be making such rapid recovery that he is now able to walk around his room

of the unnamed military hospital, using the walls for support. Two possibly significant develop{ments on the war front may tie into the Hess visit. One is the fact that his arrival in Britain coincided with possibly the most destructive Nazi air raid ever made on London — the Saturday night attack in which, it now is re-

BOW TO REICH, FRANCE IS TOLD

Petain Asks Collaboration ‘To Save European and Colonial Power.’

VICHY, France, May 15 (U. P.) — Marshal Henri Philippe Petain told | France in a radio address tonight that France must collaborate with | Germany in Europe and Africa. The aged Marshal declared that France “by necessity” must seek an understanding with Germany and that therefore she must collaborate with Hitler's plans for Europe and Africa. These plans have been officially | described as calling for full collabo- | ration of France in Germany's “new

ment of Africa as a great colonial pool to feed Europe with raw materials.

Negotiations to Continue

“I approved in principle,” said Petain, “the meeting of Vice Premier Admiral Jean Francois Darlan with Hitler in Germany.” “We will continue negotiations,” said the Chief of State, “until we reach agreement, “I call on all Frenchmen to follow me in the path of honor and national interest so that France can overcome her defeat, and save her rank as a European and colonial power.” He said the Hitler-Darlan meeting “enables us to light the road before us.”

‘Follow Without Question”

“It is no longer a question today for public opinion, which is often anxious because it is badly informed, to weigh our chances, meas-

vealed, in addition to hitting the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey and the British Museum, the German bombs also hit such ancient British monuments as St. James’| Palace, Old Bailey, Lambeth Palace, London Museum, the Queens Hall Concert Building and St. Clement Danes Church.

The glass of the window through which the Duke of Windsor and the then Mrs. Wallis Simpson peeped when the proclamation of the Duke's accession to the throne was being read, was broken, On the other side of the Palace, the glass was broken in the window through which, according to gossip, the Duke used to climb into his bachelor apartments in the small hours of the morning when he did not wish to disturb his household. A second bomb struck between the west side of the Palace and the adjoining London Museum, It destroyed the Palace Kitchens and badly cracked the northwest corner of the Museum, Once a hospital founded to care for “14 leprous maidens,” founded before 1190, St. James’ Palace was the home of the Kings from William III to George IV, who bought Buck-~ ingham Palace. Dates Back to 119 In the Palace Charles I spent his last night before going to the block in Whitehall. Charles II, James II and George IV were born there as was the “old pretender,” disputed son of James II, attended by 40 officials and a state warming pan. Royal levees are held there, and various members of the household live there. The Palace also is the headquarters for the royal honorable corps of gentlemen-at-arms and His Majesty's bodyguard of yeomen of the guard, and the Lord Champerlain has his office there. The London Museum adjoining the Palace contains hundreds upon hundreds of relics of ancient London, dating from the bones of the mammoth and rhinoceros which roamed England in historic times and reaching modern times with such relics as the pale blue silk undershirt which Charles I wore on the scaffold. Lambeth Palace dates to 1180 when its site was acquired and 1207 when construction work was started.

Prisoners May Be Freed

It was believed that Darlan's arrangement would not require France to join Germany in the war, or even to put her fleet or African bases at Germany's disposal, but will require her to co-operate in other matters and to accept the place Germany assigns her in the general European scheme, One of the immediate benefits to France is expected to be the liberation of 250,000 French war prisoners —men needed for farm and mine and other technical jobs. These comprise about one-seventh the number of French war prisoners. Darlan also is pressing for modification of the boundary line between Occupied and Unoccupied France, hoping to have it shoved back as far as the Angers-Evreux-regions, liberating Paris and enabling the French Government to return there.

Simultaneously, Mr. Hutcheson released two letters received by the Carpenters Union from Army cials. One letter from the War Department stated that up to April 5 only

the possibility and desirability of ending the war on terms that would prove highly favorable to Germany and which would entail destruction of all British liberty and independence.” If the British should become convinced of Hess’ sincerity, Mr. Binder told the bankers, the English Government would lose no time in exploiting this defection in the Nazi ranks with propaganda designed to weaken the German people's morale and to stiffen the morale of areas conquered but not won over to Nazi principles, and of those in peril of being conquered. Commenting on America’s position in event of a Nazi victory, Mr. Binder said that to the totalitarain leaders, inconceivable totalitarian and free peoples long could live side by side.

Opposes Negotiated Peace

“The safest assurance for continuance of totalitarian regimes,” Mr, Binder said, “is to banish freedom from all parts of the globe, “That's why any peace negotiated with Germany, and leaving her in possession of the most powerful military organization the world ever has seen, would be merely a truce giving the totalitarian powers time to consolidate their forces for a new assault on the citadels of liberty. “So don’t expect any peace to result from Hess’ mission. It would be disastrous for Britain, for the United States and for all the conquered nations.”

it is that

Considering the possibility that Hess really fled to save his life or became disgusted with Hitler's increasing friendliness with Communistic Russia, Mr. Binder said the effect on the war's course would be far reaching. “If Hitler had no part in sending Hess to England,” the bankers were told, “then Hitler indeed must be apprehensive as to what secrets Hess may pass on tn the British.

It would force the Fuehrer to ree vise all his planned moves.” “Goering, the No. 2 Nazi, is a former insame asylum inmate,” he said, “and now if the No. 3 Nazi's mind is failing, it’s certainly cause for wonder as to the mental state of Nazis 4, 5 and so on.” Advising against anticipating any early collapse of the Nazi regime, he said there has been too much wish= ful thinking on this point. For Americans, he said, the battle of the Atlantic is the most import=ant phase of the war. In the ade mitted sinking of six million tons of British shipping—1500 ships— much of the war materials turned out by American plants for the British has gone to the bottom of the sea. The British situation has been made more acute by the “deal just made by the Government of France with Hitler.” “The details haven't been made public yet,” Mr. Bader said, “but it's likely that Admiral Darlan and other French leaders who hate the U. S. and England have agreed to give Germany the use of the French Navy and French ports in North Africa. “That makes us begin to think of our position if Hitler has the use of the port of Dakar—only 1600 miles from South America. Sube marines and bombing planes oper= ating from Dakar, as well as from conquered ports all the way from Africa to Norway, would be able to deal painful blows at both the United States and England. “If the Nazis conquer Portugal, the danger is increased. Portugal is the sovereign of the Azores, the islands closest to the United States in the Atlantic. From these islands, an enemy would be able to reach South America faster than we could from any of our present ports.”
