Just where the eastern rim of the American defense zone runs now or may ran will be de termined as need arises. It cer tainly reaches eastward of American-British occupied lee land m the north. Iceland is virtually bisected by the 20th parallel of longitude, not tte 40th which nominally forms the sea frontier between the new world and the old. Projected southward, the zone about Iceland certainly covered by the presi dent's enter-at-your-peril notice to axis U-boats, surface raiders and aircraft would pass almost within sight of French West Africa and the Dakar bridge-head to South American. It would include such islands as the Portuguese Azores and Cape Verde groups, even parti of Spain's Canary islands. However, the essential element of the new situation created by the American challenge te the axis Is in the North Atlantic. It is through those waters that British vital life lines to Canada and the United States run, and the effect of the president's stent order to the navy is to place those life lines under American protection. Details of just how that protec- tion is to be extended are not apt to be disclosed until some inci and American navies. British convoys moving east ward are assured of American pro tection two-thirds or more of the way to England from American can naval "help" Churchill wist- Aillw hnnsrf fnr in hla riv'pnt Tiar- m liamentar war review. It goes without saying that he knew then, in the light of accumulating nazit- American sea incidents, that it I would be forthcoming, The British navy will be re leased from much of the strain of long distance convoy doty in the Atlantic. British war and aircraft can be more closely con centrated to keep open the bottle-necks of the routes to Eng land. The scope of the British hunt for enemy U-boats off the Irish coast or entrances to the Irish sea may be redoubled or quadrupled. Berlin and Rome anticipated the American action. A concerted ef fort to off-set the psychological president's action is apparent in dual axis claims of heavy new damage- inflicted by U-boats on British shipping.

Declaring that protection of lines of supply by the United States navy means active particl pation in naval warfare, the news paper asserted that the term' de fensive waters would warrant fleet operations anywhere.

Nakano, whose speech was advertised as a reply to the Roosevelt-Churchill -Atl antic charter." discounted the possi bility of a Japanese rapproach ment with the United States and Britain because, he said, their positions are fundamen tally opposed.

The only course left to axis warships, said the editor of H Gi- ornale D'ltalia, who often reflects official fascist opinion, Is to fight, if necessary, in self-defense. "It is evident, he wrote, "that after the precise an nouncement given by the White House every Italian and Ger man ship, knowing itself ex posed to deliberate aggressive action ef Americas warships, must attack for self- defense If it lacks the possibility of escap ing attack." Nothing appeared, however, to indicate , that Italian warcraft might go In search of incidents that might provoke open war be tween the United States and the axis. Instead, fascist commentators attributed that aim-to Mr. Roose velt II Lavoro Fascista, an extremist fascist paper, called the speech "the next to the last step on the long road followed by President Roosevelt to enter in conflict with the axis powers."

An order of lead pipe placed in April is expected to arrive in Portland for the commission this weekend, Guenther said, explain ing that the order had been given an A-9 priorities rating. No prior ity numbers at all are available for such material except where it is to be used for replacement and maintenance work, he declared. Possibility that the request of Clare Vlbbert for water service asked by a group of residents would be taken care of shortly was .- foreseen when Guenther explained that 1201 feet ef steel pipe weald be ased to cany the water from Candalarla reservoir. A system mast be worked out whereby the group of household ers could be billed as a unit, the commission said. Rock not suitable for road work may be moved from the South River road improvement area to be used as a fill at the old Lincoln street reservoir, the commission was told. Filling the cavity would place the property immediately on the "very desirable" list and prob ably would guarantee its early re turn ot the city's tax rolls, it was said. Guenther's report from the water consumption record for August, presented to the commis sion, shows 8175- services during August, 1941, compared with 8017 during the same month a year ago. New - orders for the past month were 158, while those for August, 1940, heavy building month of a heavy building year, were 225.
