: which flank the Turkish Coast, and 2lonly 250 miles from the fortified
Italian island ef Rhodes.
It is 200 miles from Derna, in Libya, and less than 250 from besieged Tobruk. It is 450 miles from Alexandria and 550 from Port Said, at the entrance to the Suez Canal. It is 350 miles from the Dardanelles, placing the Straits also within easy bombing distance.
Crete, therefore, is a menace which Hitler needs to get out of his path, not only to prevent it being used as a base to harry German and Italian supply lines and bases, but to use it himself as a much closer approach to North Africa.
Island Easy to Defend
Crete is a large island and eomparatively easy to defend, providing the defending force is sufficiently large. It should be large, in view of the great numbers of Greek and Empire forces landed . there when Greece was evacuated, Those forces, however, were needed in Africa and it may be assumed that many were sent there. It seems hardly likely, on the other hand, that Britain would make the mistake of leaving the island’ undermanned and vulnerable to just such an attack as Hitler is making. . If his campaign succeeds, it may then be. assumed that Britain did make the mistake and counted too greatly on its fleet and a numerically inferior air force. ‘If Crete holds out, it will be Hitler who miscalculated.
South Shore Lacks Harbors:
How much of the British fleet is at Suda Bay, the island’s only suitable anchorage, is problematical. Because Suda Bay, on the north side of the island, is so easily accessible to German bombers from Greece, it is possible that not many important units are there, but operating in nearby waters. (A Berlin communique claimed damage to a cruiser of the York type.) There are some minor harbors besides Suda Bay, but nothing at all on the south shore of the island. The British have laid out some fairly good air fields, but not as good as they might be. The island is mostly mountainous and available
sites are few.

POLISH LEADER FLAYS 2 NALIS
Thomsen and Wiedemann Called Main Agents in Defeatism Drive.
LONDON, May 20 (U. P.).—Hans Fhomsen, German charge, d'affaires in Washington, and Fritz Wiedemann, German consul general in. San Francisco, are among “the most - notorious” of many. German agents spreading defeatism in the United States, Gen. Wladislaws Sikorski, Premier of the Polish Gov-ernment-in-exile, said in a speech today.
Addressing the Anglo-American Correspondents Association, Sikorski, who returned in an Americanbuilt bomber from a visit to the United States last night, charged that in addition to his other activities Wiedemann sought to undermine American sympathy for Poland. 3 Sikorski said Rudolf Hess, now & British prisoner in Scotland, on & recent visit to Madrid, sought to persuade Generalissimo Francisco Franco to allow six German divisions to cross Spain to attack Gibraltar. * Sikorski said Hess’ effort to get German troops through Spain was one reason why the British and American people should not have any “pleasant illusions” regarding
this flight to Britain.
Sikorski said that in Adolf Hitler's new Europe Premier Josef Stalin of Russia would be made gauleiter (Nazi district leader) for the Soviets.

The new quarters have not been rented. . In striking from the files the collective bargaining proposal, Council explained that the measure was not necessary, since Mayor Sullivan already has begun negotiations with unions in the Sanitary Department. Members previously had -been informed in a legal opinion that they had no power to commit the City to a collective bargaining policy with its employees. At the close of the session, Harmon: Campbell, Republican, threatened to mandate Street Commis sioner Wilbur Winship to grade and oil dirt streets if, work does not start at once. The Councilman charged that the streets “are in terrible condition” and added that not a single grader has appeared in Northwest Indianapolis this year. Mr. Campbell’s complaint was referred to Mr. Winship who will be giiked to appear at the next meet-

That Mr. Roosevelt is thinking in terms of going to the people with his problems is indicated by his definite plan for a fireside ch:t one week from tonight. The Administration is uneasy on at least two major counts. First, there is the feeling that a sul stantial part of the population i: unable or unwilling to accept the idea that the nation actually is in danger.
