This was taken to mean that Germany would not be likely to press the issue and force Portugal over to the Allied side To do s_o might. require a Germ- an attempt tn occupy the entire Iberian peninsula-including neut- ral Spain-a step which the Nazis would hardly be eager to undertake now that they have converted their conduct cf the European war to a defensive basis. Even to break relations with Par. iugal would deprive the Germans ‘of their listening post in Lisbon. the Portugese cnpitak-posﬂblv the most valuable they have. abroad. Japan and Portugal also remain officially at peace, although Japan has been exerting pressure upon the Portugese colony of Macao on the South China coast. For five years Japanese armies have isolated this segment of the Portugesa empire and have staged numerous incidents which infringed upon Portugesc rights. The latest is the reported attempt to kidnap the acting British Consul in Ma-

CRO.

Meanwhile Japan continues oc- cupation of the Portugese half of the Island of Timer, 500 miles northwest of Australia. Although London recently re- ported a “crisls" in Japanese-Port- ugese relations, it appeared today that the Japanese would be equally reluctant to lose their Lisbon list- ening post by driving Portugal in. to belligerency.

Flipping Monthly Will Do Much To Defeat Nazi U-goat Threa

(By The Canadian Press)

Germany's last hOpg of averting defeat through the wholesale use of sub- marines probably vanish- ed with the ann-ounce- ment by Prime Minister Churchill Tuesday that Portugal had granted Britain anti - submarine bases in the Azores Isl- ands, the crossroads of the Atlantic.

Without surrendering her neutrality, Portugal thus made it possible for the United Nations to complete their aerial umbrella over the Atlan- tic and to provide con- voys with both surface and air protection so tight as virtually to defy the U-boat wolf packs.
