Time and Tide
Favor Invasion
If Blitzkrieg I not Tried
This Week It May not
Come Till Spring
By KIRKE L. SIMPSON
(Associated Press Staff Writer)
. This Is bound to be an uneasy
week (or Britain. Time and tide,
which, wait on no man, faTor a
German attempt at invasion as
they may not again until next
spring.
, There will be other high tides
Ja the English chanel and North
. sea before then, other moonless
nights and other prospective fogs
to screen a nazi onset. Tet the
time factor will not be the same.
The September equinox Is only six
weeks away.
. . The Germans seem to be con
fronted with a choice of attacking
now or waiting until next year.
If the week passes without a
break In the virtual stalemate
that has endured since mid-June
it will go ' far toward convincing
-the world that whatever his own
desire. Hitter's generals hare
ruled out invasion as too risky,
until England has been "soft-
ened" by blockade.
Eyed DaMously Her
If that Is the case, and there
hare been strong, hints from both
..'Rome and Berlin that tt tar It
means that the axis military
; leaders Tiew the Invasion prob
lem in about the same dubious
way as do many American naval
'and military men. Sueh of them
, as have discussed the matter with
' this writer in the last six weeks
; beliefs, that invasion would be the
..last recourse-of German strategy.
' What 'most concerned them was
whether England could bold out
against wholesale air - attack
. (which has not yet developed) or
against prolonged blockade.
To cap that view of profes
' sional observers there now comes
a more precise expression. G en
teral Pershing voices an emphatic
public plea that 60 or more
American destroyers, built during
' the World war, be turned over to
,2he British to aid them in their
'yhour of peril by "means short of
;war." .
, It obviously would t take con
siderable time to make this fleet
) of sea hornets an active factor in
.the battle of Britain. Yet the- for
jmer commander of the American
'expeditionary force, whose pres
tlge and contacts make him thor-
oughly familiar with American
military and naval opinion, re
ports that it is "nearly, unani
mous" in supporting the destroyer
transfer. r
' Behind that Pershing plea
clearly lies the conclusion that a
'blitxkrieg against England, it at
tempted during this week of high
: tides and dark nights, 'would be
beaten off. The. help tor England
.Jie urged could not possibly be
made available to participate in
Othe defense of Britain for some
'weeks, yet he expressed confl
dence that as a stop-gap Until
: Britain's own destroyer program
reaches full production within "a
few months," the American de
stroyers would be of Invaluable
, assistance. They could be used,
- he said, to "convoy merchant
; ships, to escort warships and
bunt submarines and to repel in
vasion." Blockade Real Peril
"By sending help to the British
we can stlil hope with confidence
to keep the war on the other side
of the Atlantic." Pershing said.
And In so Saying he very def-
in It el y Indicated the opinion that
It was the German air and sea
'blockade, not Invasion, England
, bad most to fear. Whether that
Is a correct estimate of the situa
tion, so far as nazi war plans are
, concerned, well may be decided
,withln this week.
Several factors would seem to
suggest invasion. Hitler himself
it back in Berlin from a week of
.recuperation oh his Bavarian
mountain top, presumably! ready
to take the field with his armies
: If an attack la ordered. After this
.week the next' high-tide period
will, occur so elote to winter that
. launching t major offensive
would be unthinkable. Weather
records for the North sea and
English channel give them an un
savory reputation before and af-
ter the September equinox. Beach
landings for troops, guns, tanks
hand other heavy equipment would
' be a serious undertaking in rough
veas.

Emphatic Report
Late In the day, the commit

the bill saying "regimentation of
American life" as provided in the
measure "in peace time la abhor
rent to the Ideals of patriotic
Americans and is utterly repug
nant to American democracy and
American traditions."
It urged voluntary enlistments
for a one-year period, with army
pay Increased from $21 to a point
not less than th ISO monthly
paid to CCC enrollees.
"No proof or evidence was of
fered." the report said, "that all
of the personnel needs of the
army cannot be obtained on a
voluntary basis in the traditional
American peace-time manner. . .
Voluntary enlistment should be
given a thorough trial before any
Hltlerixed method of peace-time
conscription, with its far-reaching
implications of militarism
and imperialism, is adopted as a
permanent policy In America."

Cook, son of a German Immi

Chairman : Plttmaa (D-Nev) , of

proposal, suggested the possibil
ity of swapping destroyers for a
few British battleships, Which he
said appeared to be of i little prac

"Possibly a trade of a few
battleships tor i destroyers might
be justified even under f Interna

Pepper, rising: 4n tbe senate to

that a fcroBS of recognition and

that the efficiency of the German
military machine had ' taken a
"great hold on the affection and
