"His majesty’s government having lost ail faith in promises made by the governments of Germany and Italy felt that they were compelled, not only in their own interests, but also in the hope of restoring the in dependence of France and the in tegrity of the French empire, to take | steps before it was too late to en sure that the French fleet should not be used against them by their common enemy. Steps Taken “With this object in view steps were taken in the early morning of July 3 to place all French men of war in British ports under British control. "This operation was successfully carried out with only two casualties, which occurred owing to a misunder standing. At the same time the French vessels in ports of North Africa were offered certain condi tions designed solely for the purpose Df keeping them out of German hands. "It was explained to the officer In command that if none of these conditions were accepted Great Brit lin was prepared to take every step in order to ensure that none of these vessels should be used against aer for the future prdsecution of the war. "His majesty’s government deeply regrets that the French admiral in Command at Oran refused to accept my of the conditions proposed, with the inevitable result that action had lo be taken against the French ves sels in that locality. These opera tions are still proceeding. "A statement will be made to par lament later today by the prime min ister."

The legislation also would remove the present lim it on the number of planes the navy could acquire. Earlier the defense commission an nounced that the Packard Mo tor Co., had tentatively agreed to undertake the construction of 9,000 airplane engines for England and 3,000 for the United States. This was the order which Henry Ford refused last week, asserting he would make motors for the United States only. Also during the day, the na vy let contracts for three air craft carriers and two cruisers to the Newport News Ship building and Drydock Co., al a cost of 8169,530,000. The ac tion put all of the 92 new com bat ships for which congress has provided money under contract. The new 85,000,000,000 defense item, which may be divided about equally between outright appropriations and authoriza tions for later appropriations supplements a otal of $5,082, 210,080 already approved at .this session of congress. It was predicted that a message would go to congress on the new program next Monday. While most factors involved had been worked out, it was said, several naval angles had still to receive final approval, and hence the delay. Xhose in the know said the item—$4,000,000,000 of which is for the army—would cover all the things the army now has any in tention of seeking. The major pur pose, it was said, was to get the plane production program “under full steam,” with the idea that by the fall of 1941, the nation would be well on the way toward an air fighting force surpassing anything that any nation can now put into the air. Questions put to Knox before the committee acted today revealed that the nominee has no use for the phrase “coalition cabinet,” as descriptive of the situation if and when he and Stimson take their places. Senator Holt (D-WVA) ask ed whether he thought there was any “danger” in a coalition gov ernment. “You haven’t got a coalition gov ernment,” Knox replied. “We are not representing the Republican party at all. We are just two pri vate individuals trying to do a job. For a long time I have been a reserve officer and if I had been called to duty by a democratic administration I would have gone as quickly as if it had been a re publican administration that issued the call. I regard this position in the same light.” 1 DETAILS OF WEED SET-UP DEMANDED (Continued From Cage One) face a weakened demand from for eign buyers. It would be a stabilizing influence on the market, he said, if the Agri culture department and the Com modity Credit corporation would make public in advance of the Georgia-Florida selling season the terms of any loan or purchase pro gram to be undertaken this year. He said Wallace gave him no promise, as the tobacco program must depend on the outcome of a July 20 referendum on new tobacco quotas. He added, however, Wal lace believed grower,-, would ap prove quotas and assured him the department would act “as speedily as possible” after the result of the referendum was known. The senator said he also asked early announcement of the cotton and peanut programs. School Salary Group Will Meet Next Week RALEIGH, July 3—UP)—'The sal ary schedule committee of the state school commission will meet next week before the session of the full commission on July 11, Lloyd Griffin, secretary of the com mission, announced today. The committee will study how to allocate $250,000 for teacher pay raises. The question of narrowing the differential in salaries paid white and negro school teachers will also be up for consideration. 1 __ I I XXJXIXXX I VJ X vy X 1 XIX ^yx>x ' XX > vx XX x xxx OBITUARIES 1 JOHN Y.

An informed source said a note refusing to close the Burma road had been received from London by the British embassy. Ambassador Sir Robert Leslie Craigie was said to be asking his government for final instructions before its delivery to the Japanese government. It was believed a British refusal would bring a new crisis in re lations of the two powers, recently improved by an agreement over Tientsin. Current moves of'Japa nese troops near the British colony of Hongkong have been interpreted in some quarters as pressure to induce closing of the Burma road. A government spokesman told the house of Commons in London that Britain was considering “questions that would arise with the United States” if she yeilded to Japan on this issue.) Britain’s decision was being made against the background of disclosures that Japan’s dominant army leaders were complaining of the background of disclosures that Japan’s dominant army lead ers were complaining of the gov ernment’s new “Asiatic sphere” policy. They were understood to have protested that not even this decla ration for Japan’s dominance in the orient—in a sort of far eastern Monroe Doctrine—was sufficient ly advanced. Rather, it was said, they had wanted clear encouragement of Germany and Italy and a notice to the world that the redistribution of its resources was going to be a pre-condition to general peace. 2 MANY KILLED WHEN NAZIS TORPEDO SHIP (Continued From Cage Une) swer the SOS, reached the scene quickly. ‘‘She loaded herself to the hilt with men plucked from the water by whaler boats she sent out,” a sur vivor said. Some of the survivors were clad only in pajamas or trousers. Few had shoes. “It’s a wonder anyone was saved,” said one man. “At one time 30 men were fighting with each other to be the first to slide down a rope into a lifeboat.” Approximately 1,000 survivors reached the Scottish port. The other 1,000 were missing but some surviv ors may have been taken to other ports. Although the sinking occurred at 6 a. m„ in daylight, there was little light below decks because the light ing system failed at once. The torpedo must have ripped the ship open as “she began to settle rapidly," a survivor said. “As the ship went down the cap tain and several of the ship’s officers were standing on the deck. Several of them went down with the ves sel, we fear.” One British guard said the work of the Canadian rescuers was “mag nificent.” “They did everything to make us comfortable,” he said. “Race and creed made no difference.” M 1JU1U111 U x V/l'l , \^# NEW POWER LEVY TO NET $100,000 Estimate Of Revenue Given By Utilities Commissioner Stanley Winborne RALEIGH, July 3—(#)—Utilities Commissioner Stanley Winborne today estimated that a federal de fense tax on domestic and indus trial electric current would net ap proximately $10U,000 additional revenue in North Carolina. The new levy increases the fed eral tax on domestic and indus trial rates from three to three and one half per cent. The commis sioner said that North Carolina utility companies would probably absorb the tax. The brewers and North Carolina beer dis'.ributors committee esti mates that the new defense tax of an extra $1 a barrel on beer will yield approximately an additional $315,000 additional federal revenue in North Carolina. 1 CITY TO OBSERVE INDEPENDENCE DAY (Continued From Page One) tivities by predicting cloudy skies and occasional showers during the day. Moderate southerly winds will prevail. Both Wrightsville and Carolina beaches have made preparations tor handling unusually large crowds of visitors during the day, aut there will be no formal ob servance at either resort. Wrights ville, however, will have its tradi tional yacht race, staged by the Carolina Yacht club. Beginning this afternoon at 3 o’clock, the series will continue through Fri day and Saturday afternoon. All in all, however, it promises to be a fairly quiet holiday and week-end with all the noise and merry making confined to the Deaches. ' The ABC stores will be closed today. The Wilmington office of the Un employment Compensation com mission will remain closed and Maurice H. Moore, manager, has asked that those who usually call at the office today return next rhursday, July 1, when two weeks claims will be accepted. The postoffice will observe a complete holiday. There will be no carrier or window service during the day. There will be no mail collection and boxholders will be given mail at their boxes. There will be no house to house deliver iac In observance of the importance of the holiday today in the light of world conditions, Mayor Tho mas E, Cooper yesterday issued the following proclamation: Independence Day has greater significance this year than ever before. Always an occasion of re joicing, it has become a festival of thanksgiving, a call to rededi cation, a symbol of hope. For today, war and tyranny have overwhelmed many foreign na tions; disloyal elements within our borders undermine national unity by fomenting racial hatred and religious bigotry; anti-demo cratic forces seek to abrogate civil, political and economic liberties; dictatorships abroad and traitors at home assail the very ideas of freedom and quality on which this nation was founded. These ideals and the institutuons derived from them, however, are no less precious to the American people today than in 1776. They are our reassured heritage, our most sacred trust. They still make liefe worth living. They are still worth defending. If need be, they are still worth dying for. It is therefore fitting that on this Fourth Day of July, 1940, we Americans renew the covenant of our forefathers, and reaffirm among ourselves and before all mankind: That all men are created equal. That the freedom of Americans —which assures liberty of con science, of speech, of assembly and of the press—is /ital to the defense of our country against for eign and domestic foes. That the equality of Americans —which includes all races, creeds and colors—recognizes the contri butions of each to upbuilding the nation, and makes loyalty to our country the only test of Christian or Jew, white or negro, native or foreign-born. That on these principles of free dom and equality, the American people stand united, and in defense of our national unity—whatever dif ficulties and dangers lie ahead —we, as did our forefathers, mutually pledge to each other our lives, our forturnes, and our sacred honor. T. E. COOPER, Mayor. GRIST IS NAMED THEATRES CHIEF (Continued From Fage One) former manager of the Royal has been moved to Bluefield, W. Va. J. M. Autry will remain at the Bijou. Grist, who has been connected with theatres in various parts of ;he country for several years, said last night he will “carry on the aperation of Wilmington’s theatres according to the principles set up ay Mr. Bailey.

Ten persons were reported injured n a southeast coast town when a ■aider, caught in the glare of search ights, jettisoned 12 bombs over working class houses. British Reprisals (British reprisals were reported of 'icially in Germany. In the late aft ?rnoon, it was declared, 16 persons— L2 of them children at play—were killed in a suburb of Hamburg by oombers and 20 were injured.) The British dead today were in southeastern villages. They included i grandmother and a baby, and sev eral workmen. Six were injured there. Sixteen persons were wounded in northeast industrial areas. Censorship does not permit the towns to be identified. Four of the dead, however, were known to have been killed in one southeastern town. A dozen bombs dropped on one of the towns in the southeast; nine in or near another. In still another 14 bombs fell, but there only one man was injured slightly. Officials described the raids as “hit and run.’’ Some of the bombs dropped were of the ‘’whistling” va riety, calculated to inspire terror. Use U. S.-Made Craft Britain used American-made bomb ers to strike back last night at the Nazi island air base of Texel, the Netherlands and at Ijmuiden, in northern Holland. Other R. A. F. planes ranged the German Ruhr, Westphalia, flew as far north as Denmark and strafed the German held Belgian port of Zeebrugge. Flying under the coastal com mand, Hudson-Lockheed bombers, newly purchased in the United States, attacked in the Netherlands last night. One brought down a German Messerschmitt fighter with his rear gun, near Amsterdam. The British, too .lost one plane. Since last evening the German planes, alone or in waves, have stab bed repeatedly at the people of Eng land and their defenses, testing their nerves for the invasion they are awaiting. "A large building” (the censor for bids further description) Was set afire in the southeast. Other bombs fell on dwellings, in gardens, on beaches, in open country and into the sea. Bitter air battles were fought, and almost without pause, anti-arcraft batteries and fighting planes were in action. cal entertainment to which they are accustomed.” The new management took effect yesterday. 1 Interpreting The War BY KIRKE L. SIMPSON Germany’s report that she suf fered only 160.000 casualties in the month of battle that shattered the resistance of the low countries and France tends to sustain her boast lhat the conquest was the greatest military feat of all time. The official figures of losses suf fered by the other side have not yet been entered in the bloody bookkeeping of war, but it has been estimated unofficially that France alone lost 1,500.000 men. \ Germany apparently not only re versed the heretofore accepted mil itary rule that the offensive is_ three times as costly in casualties as the defensive, but appears tl have turned that ratio 10 to 1 in j her favor in the case of France alone. It might be double that if all Allied losses were known. Compared to German World War casualties, which ran into hun dreds of thousands for each Ger man offensive, the Nazi estimate of the blood cost of the German victories in the present war is fan tastically small. Yet there is little to suggest that it is seriously chal lengeable. Neutral military observ ers have been calculating a prob able German battle loss ratio of 1 to 6 ever since the German air tank technique was fully disclosed. uennan casually ngures nave another possible signiticance which could be of great consequence to England. They suggest that unless a sure cross-channel path can be cleared to place German mech anized equipment on English soil, an invasion of England may not be as imminent as Britain fears. It was German tank technique that cut her battle losses. Dive bombing and numerical superior ity in the air were as vital to suc cess of that technique as the thun dering artillery barrages of the World War were to infantry ad vances. But it was massive tank divi sions of tremendous striking power and speed, yet also affording max imum protection for personnel, that dealt the crucial Nazi blows on the continent. Unless the tanks can be carried safely across the channel, a Nazi invasion there in evitably would see the casualty ratio for attack return to some thing like that of World War days. But, in laying any plans to get tanks to England, Hitler must reckon with the British fleet. It is true that in the Norwegian cam paign, the Allied navies failed to plug the Skaggerak-Kattegat route to Oslo against the Germans, but that failure can be traced in large part to reluctance of the British admiralty to risk the fleet upon which England has counted during all her history to secure her own shores against an invader. The fleet’s fundamental mission is to guard England. The battle to save England is rot lost while that fleet is in Brit ish home waters and while the English will to fight endures against German bombing attack. A Hitler invasion order could mean Nazi disaster and army casualties stunning to German public opinion. In the hour of her World-War defeat. pre-Nazi Germany began the development of tank warfare equipment and technique that Na zi Germany has completed and set to work. German veterans saw then that some means of reducing battle casulaties must be found if Germany was ever to rise again. Staggering casualties as well as approaching starvation broke Ger man public will to continue the fight in 1918. There is the implication of a Hitler pledge to his people against risking return to such casualties in the Berlin official report of mini mum losses in the continental batt ling. It may still prove more sig nificant than Nazi press forecasts of immediate invasion of Eng land. 1 RED UNION ASKED BY LITHUANIANS (Continued From I’age One) fere with the demonstration hut ii was carried out without untoward incident.
