Army tightens Bontrol over ilumanian life

BUCI-IARBI‘, Dec. lL-(AP) — The arrnv tightened its control over nearly everv phase of Rumanlan life today with a series of emergen- cy decrees issued bv Premier Ant- onescu.

The decrees came quickly alter nicked German troops had paraded through the streets of Bucharest. Brasov and other cities. and B! the press had warned that the na- tion must take seriously its pro- mises of military aid to the Axle

powers.

(In other Balkan capitals. the de- crees were interpreted as designed to curb Iron Guard powers. with Antonescu pictured as believing that the army alone was capable of re- storing order in Rumaniafl) arinv include:—

The right to militarlze any state or private institution m‘ corporation and the immediate militarization of the gendo rinerie and police through- out the nation.

A demand mat armv officers im- mediatieiy resign either from the ‘iron Guard or the army.

All commissioned and non-com- missioned officers must disclose their political affiliations.

Antonescu also consolidated ail war veterans’ organizations with the purpose of forminx a strona bloc behind the army and increased the soldiers‘ food allowance from .seventol0osntsaday. .

Britain's oifeiisive iii Egypt. be- sides driving the Italiaizs out 0i Llfill‘ imp viuiit apply base, Sidi Bar-rain, is having powerful re- percussions on the lvl-cd terrancan war map from Gbraltar to the Suez Canal.

In the eyes cf ‘invasion-dreading Balkan neutrals, including Turkey, the British succcszs virtually have nullified for months to come the pcsslbility of a Nazi-Fascist march eastward to crack the Britizh sea blockade. ‘Pl-rat is sharply reflect- ed in abandonment by 'I‘urkey of nightly “black oizt" precautions against po-si le German or liai- iazi air attac .

The neutral Balkan trio-Turkey,

Bulgaria. and Yugcsiavia- already stoutly resisting Geiman p:lltical and diplomatic overtures with

strong indcations of Ru sian back- ing, gave signs of even greater anti-Axis leaning: If the British attack in Egypt produces another Italian army disaster it will clinch that obstacle to Berlin's grand strategy in the east.

The effect on Spaniih prllcy of Italian reverses at. the hands 0f the British. and Greeks must be reck- oned with, Gen. Franco is probably much farther frrm act;v:ly join- ing the Axis partnership than he was a few days ago. He may also wait and see wlirt happens in Egypt. British apprehension over the Gibraltar bastion cannot now be great.

The Italian setbacks have put a crimipi of such size in Fascist irill- itary prestige and potential strik- ing abilty that it is uuestlonable whether Italy has not been shift- ed from the asset to the liability column in Hitler's war books.

The jeering from Berlin at events in Albania and Elfylll. charanterizing them as mere pass-

of serious effect on Axis Bffllld strategy. ignores one v'tall_v oortant factor.

stores of fuel and munibcivs cannot be replaced through Bri-

manuscript sad. “whether it is to your interest to Eleve us whatever assistance may necessary in

order to make certain that Bri- tain shall not fall." Predicting still greater German

attacks on British shipping in the coming months, Lord Lntbian de- clared the British Navy already “is strung out terribly thin."

"We think that this is a situa- tion which concerns you almost as much as it concerns us." he said. “It has lo been clear that your security no eas than ours depends upon our holding the Atlantic im- pregnably and you the Pacific."

The Axis-Japanese pact, he con- tlnued, raises the prospect of "a two-ocean attack on us both in the Atlantic and the Pacific." This, he said. would be launched simul- taneously if an Italian or German army or fleet could occupy Gib- raltar or North West Africa "or Great Britain's control of the At- lantlc has been sufficiently weak- ened to cause doubt where the Am- erican fleet should be stationed."

Just how far to the west this British spearhead had been driven was not stated. At all events Brit- ish advance forces already have been reported in occupation of areas near Buqbuq, which lies some 35 miles west of Sidi Barrani toward the frontier of Italian Libya, and the next objective of the counter- invesion appeared to be the impor- tant Fascist base of Salum, which lies just within Egypt.
