PAGE EIGHT PLATTSBURGH DAILY PRESS, PLATTSBURGH, N. Y.—TUESDAY, AUGUST 6, 1940. American Skipper and Ship Carrying the WindsoFs Responsibility for the safe passage of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor from Lisbon, Portugal, to New York rests upon Capt. S.

SIMPSON) This is bound to hi an uneasy week for Britain. Time and tide, which wait on no man. favor a German attempt at invasion as they may .not again until next spring. Th.ere will be .other high tides in the English Channel and North Sea before th;n. othar moonless nights and other prospective togs to screen a Nazi onset. Yet the time factor will not be the same. The Septem- ber Equinox is only six wjeks away. The Germans seem to be con- fronted with a choice of attacking now or waiting until next year. If the week passes without a break in the virtual stalemate that has en- dured since mid June it will go far toward convincing the world that whatever his own desire. Hitler's generals have ruled out invasion as too risky, until England has been \softened\ by blockade. If that is the case, and there have been strong hints from both Rome and Berlin that it is. it means that the axis military lead- ers view the invasion problem in about the same dubious way as to many American naval and military men. Such of them as have discuss- ed the war with this writer to the last six weeks believed that inva- sion would be the last recourse of German strategy. What most con- cerned them was whether England could hold out against wholesale air attack 'which has not yet develop- ed) or against prolonged blockade. To cap that view of professional observers there now comes a more precise expression. General Persh- ing voices an emphatic public plea that 50 or more American destroy- ers, built during the World war, be turned over to the British to aid them in their hour of peril by \means short of war.\ It obviously would take consider- able time to make this fleet of sea hornets an active factor in the bat- tle of Britain. Yet the former com- mander of the American expedi- tionary force, whose prestige and contacts make him thoroughly fa- miliar with American military and naval opinion, reports that it is \nearly unanimous\ in supporting the destroyer transfer. I'Mllhl ncil lll'.-.'.lilh IF- IIIIIIIF- IIMIII - al;l\ 1 a pailiripntc in the ileh-nse of Britain lor some weeks, yet he expressed confidence that as a stop- gap until Britain's own destroyer program reaches full production within \a few months,\ the Ameri- can destroyers would be of invalu- able assistance. They could be used, he said, to \convoy merchant ships, to escort warships and hunt sub- marines and to repel invasion.\ By sending help to the Britisli we can still hope with confidence to keep the war on the other side of the Atlantic.\ Pershing said. And in so saying he very defin- itely indicated the opinion that it was the German air and sea block- ade, not invasion, England had most to fear. Whether that is a cor- rect estimate of the situation, so far as Nazi war plans are con- cerned, well may be decided with- in this week. OPEN AND SHUT CASE LONDON. Ky.
