Mr. Norman Davis, Chairman the American Red Cross, has an- nounced that the German Govern- ment has permitted its organisation to help in the terrible distress among the civilian population in the War- saw region, but that Red Cross off-

cials will not be allowed to enter any to

The Reich also gave assurances that food and clothing sent by the Red Cross would exclusively be reserved for civilians.

"Convinced of the failure of an ex- pected large-scale Nazi offensive in the spring, Goering is possessed with the idea of having ready all the threads for the moment when he can become

successor the new grand man of Germany."

The Nazi Party, the announcer add- ed, would then be driven back, Bohe- mia and Moravia would be granted certain concessions, and Germany's relations with Russia would be cur- talled.

CENSORSHIP ANNOYANCE

Washington, To-day. Several Senators issued statements yesterday criti- cising Britain's "insistence" on censoring United States mails in Bermuda.

cease

Senator Truman proposed that United States planes should

that British Bermuda und visiting planes be barred from landing in the willUnited States.

American Red Cross has already alloted $400,000 for relief in Poland and a further $200,000 be forthcoming shortly.--Havns.

"THERE WILL BE NO REPENTANT GERMANY”

to

Senator Clark (Missouri) declar- ed the latest disclosures of censorship "only strengthen my view that we should prohibit öür planes landing in Bermuda."

Meanwhile, according to a Bermuda despatch, British officials there dea (cribe as utter nonsense a report that armed Marines boarded the Clipper order to enforce the removal of mail for censorship.

"There will be no repentant Ger- many after the war with which sit down at a table as though noth-in ing had happened."

This was the assurance given in German broadcast from Zecsen.

"FOOLISH UBE" OF RIGHT Senator Key Pittman declared Bri- tain had made "excessive and

very Is-foolish use" of her right as a belli- gerent to censor American mail. He said there was no doubt Britain had the right to examine for contraband all mail on board the Clipper.

"Europe," said the speaker, "is dark continent, full of unsolved sues, Problems will emerge which will make the conflict more absurd than we ever dreamed it would be. The time will come when situation will have to be mastered which only a strong Reich will be able to accom- plish."
