...Assistant Secretary of War is no official underling. His responsibilities (for purchasing Army equipment, planning to mobilize the U. S. man-&-money-power for war) outweigh those of most full-fledged Cabinet members. That Assistant Secretary Johnson, despite his sundry deficiencies, had done a standout job, one of his harshest critics (Columnist Hugh Johnson) admitted last week. That Louis Johnson's new boss, Republican Secretary Henry Lewis Stimson, should not want to keep an ambitious, embittered assistant was understandable. That the President at such a stage of Defense (see p. 17) should have tossed out the one War Department...
...week. So was everything else which indicated intensified Communazi penetration in Latin America. Reason for this concern was bluntly put by T'.e United States News: "The Germans even now are invading Latin America." So were the Italians. In much of Latin America, they and their commercial interests outweigh the Germans in potency and numbers...
...risks probably did outweigh the gains. But so, perhaps, did necessity outweigh choice. Hitler could have nailed down his Swedish iron supply by sending a small shock army to Lulea after the Bothnian ice goes out next month. Perhaps he was forced into the Norwegian adventure prematurely by Allied moves. March 28, the Allied Supreme War Council decided to carry the war more sternly to the Germans, to squeeze even harder with the blockade. April 3 impetuous Winston Churchill was named British coordinator of defense. April 5 is the latest Herr Hitler could have started his first convoys toward Norway...
...agree there is some disadvantage in giving the list," smiled Mr. Chamberlain, "but nevertheless, when charges are being bandied ... I think the advantages do outweigh the disadvantages. Here is the list: Airplanes promised, 152; actually sent, 101. Guns of all kinds promised, 223; sent, 114. Shells promised, 297,200; sent, 185,000. Vickers guns promised, 100; all sent. Marine mines promised, 500; sent, 400. Hand grenades promised, 50.000; all sent. Aircraft bombs promised, 20,500; sent, 15,700. Signal equipment promised, 1,300; sent, 800. Anti-tank rifles promised, 200; all sent. Respirators promised, 60,000; all sent. Greatcoats promised...
...hopeless for Germany as they sound; only three of the British ships, the battle cruisers Hood, Repulse and Renown, can match the 30 knots of Germany's battle cruisers Scharnhorst and Gneisenau. The new German battleships will be equally fast, forming a homogeneous line of speedsters which will outweigh the British Fleet's fast division 5-to-3 until Britain can finish five new dreadnaughts of the King George V class-probably about mid-1941. By then the ratio will favor the British, but only 8-to-6, which, with German armor, guns and marksmanship taken into account...
