Interpreting The War News

(ny Kirlrs L. Simpson. AHM- iated Press Staff Wrltfl‘)

The “men of Vicny" have in- glortousl surrendered Fre Indo-Ch nu up to Japan in or- der to "protect" it from wholly mythical danger; of British. Chinese-Free French invasion. This would be s laughable in- oidont of the war but for the grave complications for other peoples. including Americans, which might flow from it.

If any nation covets that Fer Eastern outpost of France's once vest. colonial empire. it l! Japan. Once fully entrenched there, the flog of the Risln Bun will be difficult to get d of.

In effect, if not ln words, Vichy has assented to In Axis dismemberment of colonial hence. It in trading the actual- ity of Japanese gsrrisonlng and fortifying of strategic bases which reduce indu-Chins to l. virtual Japanese puppet state for s tongue-in-cheek assur- ance from Tokyo that French sovereignty there will remain unimpaired.

If Admiral Dorian and his Vichy colleagues are familiar with the story of Little Red Riding Hood they nught recall that when she remarked on the large teeth of grandma wolf. she was told they were the bet- ter to eat her up.

WASHINGTON, July tit-ta?)- Seoretary of War Henry Stimson said today that Senator Burton wheeler had been mailing postage- free post". cards to army’ men asking that they write to Prcsuient Room- velt opposing any involvement in the war. The obaiuet member cull- ed the Senator's action "very pear

the line of subversive activities against the United States if not treason."

Told of these dcvclopmenti Wheel- er, who has been constantly em- broiled in a row with the admin- istration, freely conceded he had sent out 1,000,000 cards, They were mulled to a “cross section" of the population. he said, and “and na- turn1ly"s:-me reached the ‘nanfs or mcn in the army. As for stim- sons remarks on subversive activi- ties and treason. Wheeler said:-

"One can probably excuse Sec- retary Stimson for his statement on the grounds of his age and in- capacity. Everyone in Washington know: that the old gentleman is unable to curry on the duties of his loflice, and some go so fur as to say he has reached the point, to l use a British expreston. where he's gn ga."

Stimson had the evidence in his hands when reporters filed into his office tcdny for a regularly scivd- uled press conference, [t consist- ed of two of Vfheelcrs cards. one of which had been received by an

As Attorney General of this pro- vince, I intend to instruct the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to see to the strict enforcement of the speed limit of motorists on the highways." Premier Campbell sis‘.- ed last night speaking at the an- nual banquet of the Provincial Command. Cnnadian Legion, last night,

The law in the statute books place the speed limit at 45 miles an hour and reduces this to 30 when meeting other cars after night, he reminded his listeners. The law has not been strictly enforced because if, was contended that speed was not a ronl danger if the car was under control.

However. in view of the sugges- tion of Mr. G; R. Cottrelle, Oil Con- trelle that gasoline, which is so vitally needed at present, could be saved by reducing the speed of au-

tomobiles, the law will be rilllflly enforced. Referring to the speed- lng of cars on the highway going to l a local race meet on Wednesday. b0 llsnld it was “not only a urnste of 1 gflSfilltie but a real menace."
