PAGE EIGHT MEDFORD MATL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON. THURSDAY. AUGUST 22. 1940. E ! R. A. F. Carries War To Berlin Gates Navy Base Leases by Brit ain Cause Discontent in Rome. Rome, Aug. 22. (TP) Italian newspapers showed discontent with the plan for the United States to lease naval bases in Britain's western hemisphere possessions by charging today that the United States Is seeking to gain territory in the "break up" of the British empire. II Rcsto del Carlino, Important Bologna paper, said the United States not only is trying to get control of Canada by offering to send an army to defend her but added that unless something happens in the Pacific America will try later to get Australia "Japan rightly is rather alarm ed at this new development of American imperialism," II Hesto said. To "gain possession" of the British West Indies, II Resto said. Washington is ready to "cede motors, guns' and even some ob olete destroyers in payment for a 99-year lease on England's American islands. II Popolo di Roma, expressing the same view, applauded Mex ico and Guatemala for reported opposition to the United States' occupation of naval and air bases in British Honduras. Stcfani, official Italian news agency, said various South American republics consider the United States, on the excuse there, is a threat from Europe, is "seeking rather cleverly" to establish hegemony over Central America and to transform the whole Caribbean sea into a big naval base for the North Ameri can fleet. Stefani said South American circles believe that if Washing ton should realize this program, the independence of Colombia and Venezuela would be gravely lessened. The agency added that "this prospect is viewed with little enthusiasm in Bra zil." Stcfani said proposed conces sion of air and naval bases by Britain to the United States was viewed as "prelude to an his torical evolution in which the first chapter was London's doml nation over the thirteen colonics of North America," and the last chapter might be represented by England's entrance as a domin ion In an "imperial common wealth of the United States."

DEATH GOMES I MAX STEUER, $500 A New York, Aug. 22. (IP) Death has ended the career of Max D. Stcuer, 611, whose bril liance as a trial lawyer earned him a reputation as a $S00-a- minute attorney. He died of a heart attack yes terday In a Jackson (N. H.) ho tel, where he had been vacationing. His body is being brought to New York scene of his great est triumphs for funeral ser vices tomorrow.
