m British favor.
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.

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.

arrears also would leave more help
available for the office, he said.
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

Sales to the paper mill were up
