By GEORGE WELLER Copyrighs, 1941, by The Indianapolis Times d The Chicago Daily News, LEOPOLDVILLE, Sept. on barely known inland naval base now in pro-German Vichy hands, called “Little Dakar” because of its potential power, is increasingly drawing the attention of West African naval strategists.

harbor 40 miles from the exposed coastline, Abidjan is located upon the Ivory Coast. It was planned as France's southernmost base upon the Atlantic even before the Vichy : regime. The name is pronounced with the accent on the last syllable. Whether German mine-laying submatines- which have attempted to break . Great Britain's . Middle Bastern - lifeline from the United States by blockading Lagos and Takoradi are using Abidjan as a supply base and anchoring at nearby Port Bouet, it is still difficult to say. However, it has been ascertained beyond doubt that Vichy-French vessels have penetrated. the Allied shipping control.

Escape Cargo Control

For some months British airmen have been able to observe supply ships anchored at Port Bouet nearby, particularly during July when mine-laying activities were the most noticeable. Some circles affirm that these vessels slipped under the British cargo control operating from Freetown by coming across the Atlantic from South America rather than from the Mediterranean. What is now Abidjan was, until five years ago, the only village in-

am. Then French engineers suggested that 8alt Creek, somé@what west from Grand Bassam, could ‘be dredged, making a canal ideal for the.protection of submersibles. At present Port Bouet, which lies along the coast east from Grand Bassam, is being used as Abidjan’s discharge port because the inlet is

|still not fully dredged.

“Little Dakar” was undertaken as a five-year-long naval building project. The old seaport of Grand Bassam has now become a ghost town. All plans center in the roughly circular ‘new city which has become already the: capital of the Ivory Salt Creek, locally called “The Lagoon,” makes almost fivesixths of a circle ‘around: Abidjan. Its white population numbers about 2000 normally but the present size of the garrison undoubtedly swells the total considerably. if reinforced

Sara Delano was born Sept. 21, 1854, the seventh of 11 children of Warren and Catherine Delano, on the Delano family estate, Algona, near Newburgh, N. Y, Like the Roosevelts, their neighbors, the Delanos had belonged to the landed gentry of the Hudson River Valley for generations.

There she formed her love for the sea which was inherited by her son. She returned through Europe and recalled always that in Paris, she met the Empress Eugenie. She spent 20 sheltered years as the wife of James Roosevelt but upon his death when her son was in his teens, she became the efficient manager of the Roosevelt family

“Always” Proud of Son She never had a public life until ther son became President, but she entered upon one with the grave, unniffled dignity appropriate to her aristocratic breeding.

Though not a feminist, she was interested in maternity welfare, in hospitals, and in the balls given annually on’ her son’s birthday to raise funds to fight infantile paralysis. In these latter years she often came in contact with admirers of her son who invariably asked her if she wasn’t proud to have a son who had become President of the United

States. “I've always been proud of him,” she would Neply and her emphasis was on the’ always. She meant to say that no matter what her son, Franklin, had done with his talents, she still would have been proud of

This is known to all observers. :

both ends of the Mediterranean | Hitler's victory—if he wins—will be achieved not by his army but by the American isolationists. In the eastern Mediterranean,Turkey, now ready to join Britain and America, will then be cut off from: Russia and surrounded by the Germans. The Turks must decide whether. to go over to the German camp or fight, That deeision will depend “upon whether the Turks believe that America is going into. the war and coming with an enthusiasm that means victory. ' What the Turks will do is not hard to forsee if the American Congress passes any more defense legislation by one vote. In the western Mediterranean, France, Spain and Portugal will be called upon by Hitler to provide him a fleet, bases in the Azores and Dakar, an attack against Gibraltar and joint military operations through Africa. The French, Spaniards and Portuguese with whom I talked told me without exception that decision would be based on whether or not America was coming into the war. They mean it.

Left alone while he fights Russia, Hitler will take |. Leningrad and Odessa and push - on to Baku for the oil he needs in a long struggle against Amer-

With luck, the Russians will be able to maintain a front and, equaling the Chinese in patient heroism, the plodding Russian peasantry should keep open a front that will prove costly to the Nazis. But Hitler ought to be. able to consolidate his position in Russia and be free to turn his attention: directly to Britain and America, Hitler has studied the innumerable German generals who went before him, but like every militarily minded man he has also studied the campaigns of Gen. U. 8. Grant, Vicksburg proving tough, Grant surrounded its approaches and choked the city to death in a classic operation. Britain is too tough to invade. Hitler is ‘going to surround and choke off the approaches to Britain once he has come back from: Russia with the oil and raw materials he needs for the showdown with America. Hitler will try to take Africa in order to use U-boats and longrange bombers down the whole African littoral to sink all American and British shipping in the South Atlantic at a moment; when he can intensify the same efforts ‘in the North Atlantic. o Ey #

In all probability Hitler must now wait ‘until he has made a bid for control of the Mediterranean theater and Africa. He hopes of course that this can be done without American interference. His strongest Weapoh against America is his Fifth Column since the Nazis hve analyzed American orale as the weak point in the Yount democratic defense. If America interferes—and we are already shipping tanks and planes to the Middle Bast—there will be a. collision. Hitler will not shrink from it. Only then will the American isolationists understand his hatred for America. Hitler admires England and describes its population as ‘“teutonic,” almost German. For America he reserves contempt and defiance. America is no nation, accor to Hitler, but a. conglomeration 0! mass races controlled by Jews. He thinks it would be the perfect land to plant‘the master race of Nazi Germans, But for all his admiration of them, he thought the British would capitulate. THE END
