Thp great est "need (or ships and men in the proud history of British seapower was proclaimed to the House of Commons today by the First Lord of the Admiralty. A. V. Alexan der. It was an extraordinary plea to Parliament for "many more ships and great numbers of men" . . . to fight "the batMe of the Atlantic" which, beginning now, may mean as much to Britain as did last Summer's fateful "BaMIe of France." Alexander remained silent, how ever, when a member asked as to whether the government had "told America that What' we re quire even more urgently than planes and money Is ships and still more ships." From the back benches, Capt. A. S. Cunnlngham-Keld arose al so to warn the House of a "suicide fleet'" of U-boats, small fast, strip ped of all but essential gear and | manned by skeleton Nazi "volun teers of death" which, he said, Hitler plana to turn loose on Brl ilsh sea zona*. The ll-boats, he said, are not expected to rat urn home. Alexander told the House that the 60 American destroyers ob tained last year already have done good work in helping to meet the U-boat menace, in escort work and in rescuing seamen. To resounding cheers, be added tbat "American aircraft are now in service with the fleeti air arm and many more are yet to come. Unring the course of the year we shall receive from America a great reinforcement of ordnance and stores." Belgrade, Yugoslavia, March 6. ? (Thursday) ? A new phase of the grim Nazi-Soviet/ chess game, with helpless Balkan nations as the pawns, was In progress today, with Russia's Joseph Stalin ap parently moving to counter Adolf Hitter's move into Bulgaria. i Despite official secrecy and the breakdown of telephone and tele graph services throughout the Balkans, these facts emerged: 1. Rumanlas Premier General Ion Antonescu, after an urgent flight to Vienna to confer with Reichsmarshal Herman Ooering, called an emergency meeting of the Rumanian cabinet early today on his return to Bucharest. 2. Nearly 1,900,000 Rumanian army reservists, leaving the fields untitled, massed in the vicinity of the Prut River frontier opposite i-he Soviet Red Army. 3. A Soviet note ? Its contents unknown ? was acknowledged by Rumanian government quarters to have been received by Antones cu before his flight to Vienna. Softs, Bulgaria, March 6.? (Continued on Pace Kigbb) WHAT CAN WE BELIEVE? Babson Discusses Foreixm PrnnacranHu x 1 " fwiUrt (By KOGKR W. BABSON) Savannah, -- Georgia, March 7. ? I have Just come from the dining car of the Orange Blossom Special. While there, I was giv en the latest newspaper pick ed up en route. It wus with *rea!. interest that I found in a out uu mc _ -?? first p.nre Uu ? - BABSOK following: ? 1 ; Neww from warring coontrtoa is subject to censorship. It 1 may sometime* be misleading. ' It Is the right and duty of every American citizen to do his ova thinking, hold to his own be- . llefs, and not permit himself or his country to become a victim of emotionalism or propaganda. Probably other newspaper* carry similar warning, but I had not before seen such a prominent notice on the first page of a dally paper. " * , ? _ PROTECT FREE SPEECH I am 100% for freedom of the press; it is the foundation of de mocracy. When we lose it. we might' as well close up shop; bnt permitting free speech by Ameri can? Is very different from print ing lies from abroad. When, the uewspn para? reeeive ? dispatcher from abroad, through regular channels, bow do they know whether tbeaA are true or false? People who criWciie newspaper* should Rpend a day at a manag ing editor's.desk and Ree the mam of stuff which comes In from all over the world. Based upon my experiences in World -War 1 ? I do not believe two-thirds of the dispatches from the capitals of Europe, Asia, and Africa. Chrta flariTty today is so ignored that every nation believes it Is "right" to lie. Notwithstanding the present dastardly lying campaigns of every nation, the world is still getting .better. _ Emllle Felting says that in t-he 16th centnry cof fee drinking was forbidden In Constantinople "because It stim ulated thinking amongst the com mon people." It is said t-hat the first offense was punished by beat ing and the second by death! Yet, In my visits to Constantinople, It seemed as bhough most . of the people spent the larger part of the day sipping very strong coffee. PROPAGANDA IN AMERICA We can discount by 66 2-2 the news items from abroad; but It la difficult to keep calm over what Is said within this county. The talk about "secret weapons," that a "new world order is inevita ble," and thati "democracy la doomed" is very bad. I also d la ltke talk about the futility of war and "I did not raise my boy to be cannon fodder." I recently 1M tened to a communist) speech stressing the "corruption and op pression" by onr "plutocratic de mocracies." Much of such talk we have heard in the halle of Con gress during the past few weeks. Most* of it has been honest; bat some of It may have been enemy inspired. How far shall we go to ?op pressing such opinions How can we distinguish betVMB hon est opinions of Amerioiaa -Mid hired propaganda of > foreign agents? It is more and more difficult for consclentioat- AMrt- *? cans to speak their rnlndh tf they disagree witih the "higher-ops," or even with their Intolerant neighbors. If we get ao that thoae born In the V. 8. or Cnsd* can not freely speak their honest) thoughts without being permea ted. is democracy worth fighting for?. Certainly, the treatment in some cities of John L. Lewis. Norman Thomas, and Marian An derson is a disgrace to os all. CENSORSHIP AHKAD Newsmen In Washington have already been photographed and fingerprinted. The Secretary of the Navy has sent a "confiden tial" letter to newspapers asking them not to print certain facts. While making studies at Wash ingtdtf relative to the war nses and supplies of arsenic. I am at a loss to know whether the Chemi cal Warfare Service la telling me the truth or stringing me along. All of Mils reminds me of World War 1 when I worked for the Committee on Public Infor mation under that able genius. George Creel. Although we now have no such "Committee," yet Mr. Lowell Melletb heada a great press bureau In Washington which, indirectly, has the a pend ing of millions oC dallars of tax payers' money.
