The government said It had to
reject President Roosevelt's pro
posals because It was bound by
the armistice convention with
Germany and Italy to put French
warships in ports of unoccupied
Trance to be Immobilized for
the duration.
(The United States department
of state announced July 9 that
Admiral Harold R. Stark and
Brig. Gen. Charles L. Bolte had
been assigned to consult in Lon
don with the national committee
of the fighting French headed
by General De Gaulle "on all
matters relating to the conduct
of the war."
(The announcement and an ac
companying memorandum
stressed that the purpose was to
strengthen military aid to the
fighting French, and did not re
fer to the controversy over dip
lomatic recognition, which the
United States has not given the
De Gaulle organization.)
Two Proposals
(Ths state department an
scusccd is Washington two days
ago that Vichy had already re
jected two proposals by Presi
dent Roosevelt for removal of
the nine demilitarized French
naval vessels from the Egyptian
war zona.
(President Roosevelt proposed
that the ships be moved through
the Suez canal under American
custody to some American or
neutral port for interment until
after the war, when they would
be returned to France. When
this plan was rejected, he sug
gested that the ships be sent un
der U. S. protective custody to
Martinique, French West Indian
island, for demobilization.
Vichy was warned that rejec
tion would justify the British in
ordering the ships moved or in
destroying them if removal or
ders were not heeded.

Editorials on News
(Continued From Paso One)
in Britain is being PRESS
AGENTED rather than con
cealed. TT Is rather probable that the
plan is to let the Russians
bleed the Germans white IF
THEY CAN DO IT and then to
launch an invasion of Western
Europe as the finishing blow.
That, if it could be got away
with, would be perfect from the
standpoint of our side.
TVHATEVER you do, don't fall
into the cynical error of
thinking that the British are
SHIRKING their share of the
fighting.
They AREN'T. They DARE
NOT.
If Hitler were allowed to
crush Russia and boom on into
the Caucasus and the Middle
East, Britain's goose would be
cooked pretty brown. That can't
be allowed to happen without
an ALL-OUT fight.
It WON'T be.
But the difficulties in the way
of an invasion of Western Europe
are great. . The PENALTY OF
FAILURE would be ternoie.
When the die is cast and the in
vasion is launched, it must have
back of it all the power and all
the brains that Britain and Am
erica together can put into it.
- No mere boy can be sent to
the mill.
CO if the Russians can hold Hit-
ler, don't look for a second
front YET.
If they CANT, it will be an
other story.
Something will then HAVE to
be done.
