U.S. PLAN

PLAN TO END WAR IN

1941

(By Anthony Gibbs in the "Daily Sketch") SENSATIONAL DETAILS have come to my knowledge of a nine-month plan which the State Department in Washington is said to have prepared in collaboration with naval, air force and military leaders in America to enter the war and finish it by next autumn.

The plan calls for four operations, each of which follows and is dependent upon the previous

one.

Firstly, the first move, of a preparatory nature, is for the U.S. to acquire bases by negotiation with Britain and also the eastern seaboard from New- foundland down through Bermuda to the Carib-

bean.

Simultaneously Alaska is to be, heavily mobilised, and a Canadian | feurador negotiated with Canada

There would still be, however, a disadvantage. The first burst of a bomber's guns might put out the fighter's light, leaving the fighter pilot temporarily blinded,
