The surprise isn't in British
Premier Churchill announce
ment that German U-boats and
battle cruisers have been oper
ating on what he refers to as
"the American side of the Atlan
tic," but in the fact that they
haven't been found in these wa
ters before.
Germany. Italy and Japan
the triple alliance have made it
emphatically clear that they con
sider the United States already
In the war because of our all-out
aid to Britain. A natural corol
lary is their presence on our side
of the fence.
Of course, their saying so
won't put us into the war unless
they back their charge with ac
tion. When they start sinking
ships 1300 miles off our coast
however, it certainly creates
what might be described eu
phemistically as a delicate situa
tion. Herr Hitler has declared that
very ship bar none carrying
supplies for Britain will be sunk.
He has decreed that no Ameri
can supplies must reach Eng
land. Emphasis would seem to have
been given this declaration by
British admiralty figures issued
Tuesday for Anglo-allied mer
chant chipping losses For the
week ending March 9 they were

given as 98.232 tons, and for the
previous week 141,314. These
figures were contrasted with
weekly losses averaging 75.000
tons in February and 53,000 in
January.
That's something for the allies
to worry about. If England
doesn't get supplies she will be
hungry in a few months and her
vital industries will have to
close. In other words she will
be beaten."
Britain feels that the way to
WET
rv
defeat the German submarine
campaign is to supplement her
navy quickly with more Ameri
can warships. Assuming our
non-belligerency, that could be
done in either of two ways:
1. By lending more American
naval ships to the British to man
and operate under the union
Jack.
2. By sending our ships out
under their own stars and stripes
to act as patrols to convoy mer
chantmen. There seems to be no alterna
tive. Actually, too, while Britain
could man a considerable num
ber more ships, she probably
couldn't man a sufficient num
ber soon enough to meet the
emergency. That rather puts it
up to our Uncle Sam to consid
er how far he want to go.
Now any warships which are
convoying or patroling in the
submarine-infested Atlantic lane
are liable to be damaged or
sunk. This means that if Amer
ican warships should be used un
der their own flag, and one of
them got torpedoed, we should
sure enough be in the war, of
ficially or otherwise.

PACIFIC SOUTHWEST
WASHINGTON, March 20 (JP
The report of the national re
sources planning board, sent to
congress this week by President
Roosevelt asserts that from the
long range view the growth of
the Pacific southwest "has just
begun."
Suggesting a broad program
of planning and development for
the region, which Includes the
states of California, Arizona,
Nevada and Utah, the report
warns, however, that future ex
pansion "should avoid, repeating
the wiiste and errors of the past
and be directed toward sound
and enduring development."
Among other things, t h
board, after long :tudy, report
ed that:
Acreage of Irrigated land
could be doubled and crop pro
duction greatly increased when
needed.
With better forest protection
and sustained yield manage
ment more than 3,000.000.000
board feet of lumber, compared
to the present average annual
production of about 2.000.000.
000 feet could be produced
yearly without depletion.
Greatest need of the northern
California Klamath basin was
said to be the completion of
studies required for a compre
hensive long range plan for co
ordinated development of land
and water resources that would
provide more water for irriga
tion, domestic and industrial
uses: provide low cost electric
power and supply future power
demands: provide for propaga
tion and conservation of fish
life in such manner that both
multiple purpose dams may be
constructed and valuable fish re
source preserved; maintain har
bors and provide improvement
required by ocean navigation:
conserve and develop land and
water for recreational purposes.
