J . Stopping The Boring Adolf Hitler's time-worn Doasi that his agents can "bore withia" this nation and cause its downfall received a terrific jolt this week when the State Department, acting on orders from President Roosevelt, notified Germany to close all German Consulates in this country, as well as the Library of Information, ana Travel Bureaus, which it controls. For this action The Weekly gives a big "Hurrah." It has long been public knowledge that the Nazis have been using the consulates and other agencies in this country for under cover and subversive work against our government. The final check-up by the FBI men proved this knowledge and President Roosevelt took the first steps to stop this bor ing from within. Although we can possibly expect some sort of retaliation on the part of the Nazis, The Weekly believes that there is little Germany can do to hinder this government. The Nazis have rigidly controlled Germany dur ing the tast seven years and Diplo matic Courtesy has meant little or', nothing to them. While this step of closing the Ger man Consulates in this country may lead to a complete diplomatic break, as it did prior to the World War, we should all be thankful that the Pres ident has "plugged up" the biggest outlet that the Nazis have had here for subversive work and issuance of propaganda. Herr Hitler will now have to lo cate new fronts for his work here but no doubt the FBI will not be far behind him. How Close Are We To War? How close is war to the United States ? No one can answer this question unless he is able to read the mind of Adolf Hitler, leader of the German Reich. It is admitted that the policies of the United States are hostile to the continuance of Hitler in power as a world dictator and that acts of this country in sending supplies to the British provide him with ample ex cuse for declaring war. Will Hitler choose to declare war upon us? The answer is, according to most experts, "No." This does not mean that Hitler is afraid of the United States. It merely means that, at this stage of his career, it is more profitable for him not to have a war with the United States. To engage this country in actual warfare would undoubtedly unite thei American people, as. nothing else could, and cause them to redouble their assistance to the British. It would cause the United States to take direct naval, and possibly, aerial action against Germany. In time, it might mean soldiers, armed, equipped and machined by American industry, which is without a par in the world. Hitler will make war upon the United States when it suits his pur poses. He jyill not, very likely, pre cipitate a crisis unless he becomes convinced that this action is neces sary to prevent the delivery of sup plies to the British. If this becomes evident, he may risk an attack upon us, especially if Japan plays her ap pointed role and attacks us in the Pacific at the same time. ence of another vessel which is in a position to take them aboard." On May 21, 1941, a submarine, de scribed by survivors as German, sank the United Btates ship Robin Moor after giving her passengers and crew thirty minutes to take to boats. Their "proximity" to land was 600 miles and the "presence , of another vessel" to take them aboard was non-existent Nearly three weeks later one of the ship's boats contain ing eleven people was picked up off the coast of Brazil. The fate of the remaining thirty-five is unknown. These facts about the sinking of the Robin Moor are attested by affi davits of the survivors. Additional available information is that the ship was clearly marked with American insignia and sent a boat to the sub marine to warn the captain she was an American ship; that the subma rine had no marking "other than the name Lorricke or Lorrickke and a figure described as a laughing cow, both painted on the conning tower"; the captain spoke poor English but said he would radio the position to rescuers; that the ship was en route from New York to Cape Town and carried such things as automobiles, canned foods, radios, clothing no arms and nothing classed as contra band by the President's proclamation of May 1, 1937, under the Neutrality Act; that the Robin Moor was in no combat zone, either by American or German definition; and she was un armed. The Robin Moor's sinking is re ported as taking place at latitude 6:10 north, longitude 25:40 west approximately half way between South America and Africa, This sinking like that of the Zamzam, fired upon in the dark before her nationality or her cargo could be de termined shows that Nazi subma rine war has become open piracy with no regard to nationality, cargo, neu trality legislation, international law, German-American agreements, or hu man life. In the Cudahy interview, Herr Hitler declared "convoys mean war," and added his interpretations of in ternational law. On May 25 Grand Admiral Raeder said the same thing, declared that for America to protect shipment of arms to Britain by con voy would constitute "a bare unpro voked attack" on Germany and that would be "repulsed" with arms if necessary. For the Robin Moor and her people including women and a child, lack of convoy meant war without any op portunity to defend themselves. It should be plain to Americans by this time that the Hitler-Raeder talk a bout international law and threats to fire on convoys has no meaning. What Americans must judge by is acts. And Nazi acts indisputably prove that there is neither peace, honor nor safety in running away or in failing to protect American ships, citizens and rights. There should be convoys for Lend-Lease materials and merchant ships should be armed. Christian Science Monitor.
