Board of Trade Opposes change in air service

The Council of the Charlotte- town Board of Trade decided last right to ioke quick action to pre- vent, if possible, the transfer of the air service to this province by Trans Canada Air Lines to a priv- ate company.

Hitler's headquarters in Russia intimates that the most crucial German attack of the Nazi-Soviet war has been launched eastward of the low- or Dnieper river line in the southeastern Ukraine.

Prom bridgeheads on both the north and south flanks of the great bend of the Dflieper, advances have been made on a wide front. according to Ger- man reports. Presumably Hit- ler's main objective is Rlostov, at the mouth of the Don River, 250 miles eastward of the near- est German bridgeheul across the Dnieper at Zaporohze.

Rrostov, located on the es- tuary of the Don at the heed of the Bea of Amv, the north- eastern arm of the Black Bea, is the key to land approaches to Russia's rich Caspian oll field-s.

Nazi spies spin

Web from Far North to Brazil

NEW YORK, Soot. l0-—(AP) — The web of German military in- telligence, spun in New York. ex- telided from Alaska and Iceland to Brazil, china and Africa, and cov- ered cities and whistle stops in the United States. according t0 evidence presented today at the trial of l6 men charged with es- pionage conspiracy.

United States Attorney Harold M. Kennedy read into the trial record a series of mesages receiv- ed at a secret "spy' radio station on Long Island-built; and operated by American counter-espionage ag- ents—whlch indicated Germany's insatiable thirst. for military and industrial intelligence.

Germany wanted to know. sc- cording to the messages from the Gestapo station in Hamburg, what planes were being built in Fair- banks, Alaska. and whether a friend of Frederick Duquesne, 63. a defendant characterized by government is a “spy for the last 4'.) years," could spy in Dakar, Af- rlca.

Hamburg demanded, “what pre-

' parations has United States made

in Greenland and Iceland for con- voys?" five months before Ameri- can occupation of Iceland was an- nounced.

William G. Sebold. who turned over his assignment in German es- pionage‘ to the federal bureau of investigation, testified that Du- quesne dispatched to Germany pic- tures, diagrams and detailed in- formation on the Garrand rifle. naval movements in the Caribbean Chrysler tanks. gas masks, anti-gas devices. aerial bombs and grenades life belt textiles and a secret tyne of warship deck which destroys aerial bombs before impact.

LONDON, Sept. 10-(6? Cable) -A broad picture of the diplo- matic and military position of the British Commonwealth's far-flung battlefront was sketched today by two cabinet ministers for l-fon_ R. B. Hanson, Canadian House of Commons Conservative leader. and his fact-finding party.

Mr. Hanson and his associates spent a “very full day", part. of it occupied by consultations with Foreign secreter Anthony Eden uid-wais-Secrellary David Mar- gesson.

Mr. Eden reviewed the foreign situation at a luncheon given by Viscount Cranborne, Domlnions secretary, at which other guests included Lord Moyne, Colonial Secretary, Sir Charles Portal, Roy- al Air Force chief of staff. and Ad- mlral sir Dudley Pound, the First Sea Lord. -

Later Mr. Hanson talked for ‘I5 minutes with Capt, Margesson at the war office after seeing Mal.- Gen. P, J. Montague. senior of- ficer at Canadian military head- quarters.

Between his engagements Mr. Hanson had a telephone talk with LL-Gen A. G. L. McNaughton. commander of the Canadian corps.

"We had a most interesting talk and satisfactory talk." laid Mr. Hanson of his talks with Capt. Margesson. "We got s lot. of ln- formation about things obscure to us before we talked also about the futurwits lmponderabies and its possibilities."

The visitors‘ day began at 1i a. m_ when they attended a church service at St. Paul's Cathedral‘ in celebration of the coming of age

of Prince Paul of Yugoslavia.
