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.
