ALEXANDRIA RAID Alexandria, Egypt, Aug. 26. (IP) Italian' Savoia bombers raided Alexandria early this morning in a low-flying 90-min- ute attack with incendiary bombs which injured three Moslems. Large batteries of British searchlights picked up the planes, and ground defenses immediately swung into action. The bombers were enveloped In a cloud of anti-aircraft fire and several were believed to have been damaged. The raid was the sixth Alex andria, site of a British naval base, has experienced since the start of the war. BY" DEWITT MACKENZIE The Berlin-Rome brotherhood is taking a very sour and un complimentary -iew of Uncle Sam's discussions with Canada regarding defense matters of mutual interest, and his conver sations with England concerning the leasing of naval bases in the Western Hemisphere. It would seem from the Fas cist and Nazi press (which, as you know. Is government con trolled), that Sam is up to some sort of skulduggery whereby he hopes to gain at the expense of his friends and neighbors. He has. they say, imperialistic ambitions. The intimation is that Uncle Sam is preparing to take advan tage of John Bull s tough posi tion and appropriate British ter ritory. That is to say Sam is planning to Jump on John with both feet while the latter is down. The Italian press is the more voluble on the subject of our taking advantage of England perhaps having in mind to get some of Its own back for Presi dent Roosevelt's historic rebuke to Italy when she entered the war just before France col lapsed. F.D.R. declared that "on this tenth day of June. 1940. the hand that held the dagger has struck it into the back of its neighbor." The United States is charged with seeking to obtain territory in the "break up" of the British empire, which the axis powers assert is near. This includes con trol of Canada, and Das Schwarze Korps of Berlin, or gan of Hitler's black-shirted elite guard, suggests that the de feat of Britain might raise the question of American incorpor ation of the dominion. This isn't the first time that such a notion has been advanced in Germany, for it has cropped up often. The fact that Italy is taking a similar line, and em broidering the position, would seem to indicate that the sub ject has been made a matter of common comment by the axis partners.
