May Tip Hand

Everythlns is regarded by com- petent sources here a5 flinging on whet Hitler intends to do and it is quite possible he will tip his hand this week, Time the esence olf Anglo-French strata — time to harness their indus rial resources. time to build up their air fleets. time to ext/end and r- feet their sea blockade of r- many. At this stage. a waiting war on the western front is exactly what they want.

The question asked in high circles nere is-can Hitler gain by n. uniting war on the west- ern front? ls time on his side? That's where arguments start, but there seems to be general agreement that if Hitler de- cides he has no chance of winning a waiting war he will strike particularly against Britain.

Oh the illplkdlfltlii side of this war Germany already has shown that her ma ii policies are directed DOWBFGS divorcing France from Britain. Hitler foresiiacioived this policy in “Mcin Kampf."

If Hitler follows this policy on the military side of the war he will leave France compara- tively alone and use Marshal Goerlng’! air fleet to bombard British navnl depots, munliion

plants and ircraft factories. There have been suggestions he would attempt to land

troops in Britain by parachute but they have been laughed oii here as impractical. ‘

If he follows that line of action. Britain has answer for him as has been il-smonstrated in the last few u-ecks oi war. Britain's fighter aircraft and anti-aircraft inns liiive been taking a toll averaging 25 p-er cciit of n11 Ciennsn planes which have flown over t-hh Coim- tiy. Germany has made one air attack on ll British convoy and it ended disnstrously for the Reich. Gennany has yet to prove that aircraft can break Great Britain's mastery of the North Sea.

Whether Hitler will make s con- certed attack on Britain while following a poliuy of static wor- {are on the western front re- nmins to be seen. It also remains to be seen whether Britain and France would pcrlnit him to ile- main idle behind his Slylfllfid 11119 whflfl he pounded awav at Bri- tain's hcnie front.

When he returned to the Island after th‘ last. Parliamentary ses- slon during which he undervient an operation for cancer, Mr. Malc- Lean took electrical treatment. ,from time to time. Sumequently

his health greatly improved, en- labling him to attend the Liberal wonve-ntion held in Summerside on |July 21st. inst when for the sixth time he was nominated as federal giberal candidate for Prince Coun- y.

H" planned to attend the ban- lquet held in Toronto on August |8th, commemorating the 20th 1m. ‘niversary of the election of the {Right Hon. W. L. MacKcnzie King s" Liberal leader. He. went first to Ottawa when illness again over- took him and he proceeded to Mmtreal to enter the Royal Vic- tcgia Hospital.

On his return to the Island he left early in Sept-ember, accompan- ied by Mrs. MacLeiln, for Boston where he became a patient in the Bnkn- 11511101131 Hospital.

Though he rallied from time to time it was known that his recov- ery was very doubtful.

Evidently realizing his critical condition Mr. MacLean expressed the desire to come back to his Is- land home by plane. His desire was granted and on October 13th, Mr. MacLean was placed in an am-fl bulance plane at Boston and ac-l ccmnaill-ed by his wife, his nlece,l

Make Attacks On U. S. ForArms Embargo Repeal

MOSCOW, Oct. 29-(OP)-'I‘hree l portant Russian newspapers m- day attacked the Unified States Senate vote for repeal of the arms embargo.

Commenting on the Administra- tion's Neutrality Legislation, the Government newspaper Izvestis said "war in Emrope was met by Wall Street with ocrly disguised rejoicing in cxpec stion of profits on war orders.

"A boom already has begun, but it is expected to grow . . . . any possibility of peace is contemplated with fear.

"This is the background of re- consideration of the entbargo ‘Jy the Senate."

The government organ declared that only the boiiifleflls were inter- ested in lifting the embargo and that. "the masses ever more in- slstently, are demanding that the United States stick to neutrality."

Red Star, the orgnn of the Soviet Army, took the slime line as did Pravda, the Conununist Party "ps- per.

Red Star asserted the Unit- ed States wanted to aid Grcst Britain and France because inter, "at the appropriate ino- ment, they will demand their share of the booty-not only in money, which they arc getting for orders filled. but also ln territory since they have lin- pcnllst aims.” ‘

Tho vote to lift the embargo was mar-weed by Pravda. so o “vic-

tory of those who wish further to unloosen the forces of war."

The root of the problem is whe- ther the Ulliicd States will help Britliiil and France against Ger- marry. said Pravda. adding that the Senate's decision “clearly dem- onstrates vrhaf, the Bourgeoisie understands under neutrality.”

"American capitalists are bend- ing their efforts to lengthening the wal- iii Europe. They have big stakes in the war. levy hint of mace is beginning to provoke real lem- among them. Not without rea- son did the New York Daily News recently inform its readers that ‘stocks fail as peace threatens!” Izvcstlg said.
