FDR:
Cracks Down
The President of the United I
States, frankly hostile to the Axis, j
“cracked down” following the sink- i
ing of the Robin Moor by a German |
submarine in the South Atlantic, and
announced the “freezing” of all
Axis funds in this country.
It was considered a matter of
course that the Italian and German
governments would do likewise, and
while any sort of guess as to the
amount was impossible, some
sources estimated that the freezing,
if carried out on both sides, would
be about “even Stephen” financially,
with perhaps $400,000,000 involved
on each side.
More important, it meant that all
business dealings between Italy and
Germany and the United States were
instantly at an end.
The reason the estimated sum was
so small, state department officials I
revealed, was that during the past
two years most Americans have liq- I
uidated their interests in Axis coun
tries, and vice versa.,
Financial experts sAld that the or
der does not necessarily mean that
foreign countries cannot get the : .r
money out of this country, but that
in order to do so, they must get a
license for the withdrawal from the
treasury.
If it is admitted that the Ger
mans are paying out funds for sab
otage in the United States, they will
have a hard time getting such mon
ey, for the treasury can keep a
check on the funds, and see that it
is spent for the purposes intended,
such as paying the upkeep of the
German embassy, etc.
The fact that all 46 persons on
board the Robin Moor were eventual
ly reported rescued somewhat tem
pered public opinion on this “inci
dent.”
Further action on the part of this
country was conjectural, but public
opinion polls found the nation strong
ly favoring convoys for American
shipping, and a general strengthen
ing of our naval patrols.
NAZIS AND U. S.:
Consulates Out
Following the U. S. "freezing” of
all Axis financial assets in the
United States came another move
by the federal government which
strained American-German relation
ships to the breaking point.
This was the order from the state
department closing all Nazi consu
lates in the United States. German
propaganda offices— the German Li
brary of Information, the German
railway and tourist agencies and
Transocean News Service were
also ordered closed in the same
order.
All German national* connected
with the consular office* and these
propaganda agencies were ordered
to leave the country- Embassy of
ficials and employees of DNB. the
official German news agency, were
not affected by the order.
While these first moves did not
actually constitute a complete rup
ture of relationships between the
two countries it pointed toward a
policy of “action—not words” with
respect to the U. S. attitude toward
the Nazis. Reasons given by the
state department for the action were
general in nature “‘“..‘■’ey men

i RUSSIA:
Heavy Strain
The stress of German demands on i
Russia was such that it appeared
Stalin’s hold on his country was !
cracking, if not actually broken,
and his policy of appeasement of
the Nazi demands found the army
forces strongly opposed to the dic
tator.
i Whether this would end in the
I long-expected military break be-
J tween Germany and Russia, a feel
- ing that was heightened by the an
, nouncement that 120 German divi
i sions were massed on the Russian
, frontier, or whether it would simply
3 result as in the past, in a terrific
Russian blood-letting from within,
II was hard to foresee.
d The analyst, seeking to ferret out
e the genesis of this troop-massing,
perforce had to go back to Church
ill’s warning, when he was trying to
interest Russia and Turkey in ac
tive assistance just before the start I
of hostilities in Greece. Churchill 1
put Russia and Turkey on notice
that “they would be next” when the
Nazis got through with Greece.
Nobody else, thus far, at least,
had been next. Then, too, there
was the broad hint dropped by
Goebbels, German ace propagan
dist, that Germany would need the
Ukrainian wheat for a long war
against Britain. Churchill also had
warned Russia that the Ukrainian
wheat-fields would be the next ob
jective.
Another possible objective of the
massing against Russia was the
need of a sure and well-fortified line
through Russia down into Syria, also
the possibility that a sufficient threat
against Russia might break up the
Russian-Turkish alliance and allow
the Nazis to press upon Turkey their
demand for free passage of troops.
With a hostile Turkey and Russia
to the north, Hitler's generals would
be naturally hesitant in trying an
air-borne invasion of Syria to help
the French there, and to create a
land base for attack against Suez.
The typical strong groundwork nec
essary for a major German offen
sive would demand dealing with
Russia and Turkey first.
There was just one more impor
tant angle, which might precipitate
fighting, however brief, with Rus
sia. Rumania wanted Bessarabia
back, and the position of the Ger
man legions was such that this might
be the primary objective, to force
Russian abandonment of Bessarabi
an territory.
BILLION:
For Bombers
Belief amounting almost to a cer
tainty by U. S. war tacticians that
a huge air armada, assuring Britain
or this country mastery of the air
was the surest method of winning
the war for the democracies was
evidenced when the RFC announced
a plan to provide a billion dollars to
produce 500 big bombers a month.
The RFC was given additional
powers in a new Jaw signed by the
President also permitting it to have
augmented borrowing capacity with
no strings attached, provided it was
for defense purposes.
This organization had already
spent $1,500,000,000 for defense, half
a billion for factories, more than
that for tin and copper and other
defense materials, $200,000,000 for
rubber and $200,000,000 for miscel
laneous purchases of material.
Camp Robinson, Ark. Connie
Kastcr, daughter of Lieut. Col. John
F. Kastcr, head of the Thirty-fifth
division, wired her dad she? would
pay him a visit and added as a
joke “have a bond meet me at the
station.” Her father hod nine bands,
275 pieces, playing when the train
pulied in. Thus at least one ambi
tion to be “met by a band" was
realized.
