"" f ' " Tlie .time is approaching, if it is iot already at hand, when the Unitr A States will assert its rights on the ugh seas more vigorously. The vithdrawal of oar commerce from lelligeraat areas, undertaken when die war began, in an effort to escape nvolvement in the conflict, has failed to prevent hostilities from approach ing closer and closer to the United States. Bpihe policy of the United States, before the European War began, was to do everything to avoid inci dents which might provoke armed clashes. Consequently, we abandon ed certain very definite rights under International law. Now, since the national policy, under .the Lease Lend Act, is to extend unlimited aid to Great Britain and other countries fighting aggressors, it may become advisable for thip country to reassert its trading rights'under accepted in ternational law. Ipf ||!&lready the American neutrality patrol, which was set up at the be ginning of hostilities, has been mov ed substantially eastward and Ad xniral Harold R. Stark admits that it is operating as far as two thousand miles off-shore. President Roose velt carefully distinguishes this pa trol from oonvoy service.

F^yere declaim I ed officially to have dealt crashing blows to the Iraq forces of Premier Rashid Ali A1 Gailani, and military quarter? expressed belief that the conflict was near an end because Germany sent him no aid;"; > >% British airmen systematically de stroyed most of the Iraq air force, ground troops regained control of a pumping station near Rutba on the vital Mosul-Haifa oil pipeline, and the Iraq siege of the R. A. P. base at Lake Habb&niyah was broken. Howitzers and cannoneers flown by plane from Basra, near the Persian Gulf, helped the Habbaniyah garri son and Iraq levies fighting with the British to rout the Iraqis holding dominating plateau positions around the airdrome yesterday. Heavy losses were, inflicted, oy a closely coordinated British ground and air attack, the British said, and more than 300 Iraqis rtere captured. / Iraquis Retreat. The shattered forces retreated eastward toward A1 Falluja, across the Euphrates River in the derection of Baghdad, the capital. Prime Minister Churchill told the House of Commons in London that approximately 1,000 Iraquis had been killed or wounded, and that 434, In cluding 26 officers, were captured. British losses were officially de scribed as negligible. Hispatches from Beirut, Lebanon, sand that Iraq war fervor apparently was subsiding and that Baghdad circles were . seeking to lay the blame for the struggle on a "mis ! understanding" over treaty rights of the BH&ah and Iraqis. Premier Rashid Ali A1 Gailani was reported to have ordered his small. amiy to shell the R. A. F. base at Habbaniyah last Friday when Brit ain overrode his . protests about land ing a second body of British troops inlraq. ? , The premier then was said to have asked Adolf Hitler to intervene. German radio stations were heard broadcasting the Raschid's supposed appeals for a ^Moslem holy war against the British. Military quarters here said, no German planes or troops had ? yet appeared in Iraq, -and they said it was difficult to see how the-Nazis could get there in time to render effective assistance. ??
