HITLER NOT SEEKING CASUS BELLI

BOTH THE NEW York "Herald-Tribune” and the New York "Times" yesterday carried items strongly favouring all aid to Britain.

The "Herald-Tribune" says bluntly that Hitler will not consider aiding Britain as an ^ act of war until it suits him to do so.

"As this will not be until Britain falls," the news- paper continues, "it will be safe for America to give all the aid she can while Britain is still fighting.'

Professor Barion Leach,

At a minimum he suggests, aid to Britain should include the seizure of Axis ships in United

States ports, internment of Axis consular staffs and American convoying of supplies.

FRENCH COUNCIL OF DEFENCE

In a broadcast to Turkey, the German Radio goes even further, and says that "in the Mediterran- can, the British Fleet are having great difficulties owing to the in- creasing pressure of the Italian Fleet."

The effect of all this on the Turks can be judged from an An-
