New Policy Gives Allies Access
To Latest U. S. War Planes
Slow War
At New Low
(By The A audited Pre)
The anaila pace European war
today reached a new low of In-
activity thoufh two development
in the weaterw world a Canadian
general election and the releaae
of United Statea warplane to the
alliea were of great potential im-
portance to Europe.
Britain and France gained vir-
tually unimpeded access to the
latest in American planes when
the Army and Navy reached
agreement on export policy.
Without supplying any secret
defense devices with tha planes.
American authorities hoped the
step would be a spur to tha
United States aircraft industry
brtnsiny perhaps IMtMIMM
worth of aiders from the allies.
Canada's general election posed
the issue of confidence In the war
program carried out by the liberal
government of Premier W. L
Mackenzie King who dissolved
Parliament two months ago when
his political opponents accused
him of failure to prepare Canada
for an adequate war role.
Principal opposition to the pre-
mier came from Conservative
Leader Robert J. Manion at the
head of a national government
group.
In the last Parliament the liber-
als controlled 178 seats and the
conservatives 33.
A week-end blizzard blanketing
most of Canada was expected to
have some effect on the voting
particularly in rural districts
where Mackenzie King has muster-
ed much of his strength In the
past.
A significant announcement
eaaae from the British admir-
alty. For the first time since
the war started a week passed
without lorn ef a British ar
French merrhsntahlp a week
that saw the leas of two Ger-
man merchantshlps aa tha re-
sult ef enemy naval action.
Though the allied ships came
through safely eight neutral ves-
sels were lost but the admiralty
said none had been in allied con-
voys. The drop in - shipping losses
could mean that German attacks
have slackened that allied de-
fense measures have gained in
effectiveness or that fewer mer-
chantships are venturing onto the
high seas.
The western front remained
quiet
One French plane was downed
In Germany the Nazis reported.
Tha French said three German
soldiers had been killed on the
Rhine for displaying an anti-British
poster across the river.
Britain's home political front
heard recurrent reports that
Prime Minister Chamberlain
would revise his ' government
with a five-man war cabinet It
now has nine members.
- The new British liner Maure-
tania on a secret mission headed
through the Panama Canal appar-
ently bound for Australia to take
on troops for the Near East.
A Rome conference between
Premier Count Pal Teleky of Hun-
gary and Premier Mussolini at-
tracted some attention since it was
believed they discussed war pos-
sibilities In Southeastern Europe.
U. 8. GIVES ALLIES
ACCESS TO LATE PLANER
Washington March 28 Ut) The
Army and Navy stood aside today
to give Franca and Britain vir-
tually unhindered access to the
latest models of American war-
planes. The two services formally
agreed late yesterday on the new
export policy acting on the belief
that national defense would best
be served by the consequent ex-
pansion of the nation's aircraft
industry and by the rigorous test-
ing which American-developed
ships will receive in Europes
aerial war.
Barring congressional interfer-
ence officials said that the new
policy forecast them immediate
results:
1 Relearn to the allies of some
600 planes now under con-
struction for the Army and Navy.
Acceleration In the placing of
an expected $1000000000 In
Franco-Britlsh aircraft bonds.
Secretary of War Woodring is
expected to submit a detailed ex-
position of die new Army-Navy
stand when he appears tomorrow
before the House militaiy com-
mittee which Is investigating for-
eign plane purchases here. The
previous policy has been not to
release any military craft for sale
until a better type has been per-
fected. Repercussions on Capitol
Hill were generally expected.
Officials emphasized that no
secret military devices would be
supplied with the planes. Presi-
dent Roosevelt said recently that
the country possessed some secrets
which foreign nations presumably
cannot duplicate.
Besides turning ever ta the al-
lies plants already under con-
struction officials mid that the
new policy would permit the
placing of orders for the latest
Army and Navy experimental
ships hitherto withheld.
The allies on their part would
be required to furnish complete
data on performance of the planes
in active service In order that
subsequent models may be im-
proved for the benefit of Ameri
can air forces.
Another stipulation requires a
guarantee that the alliea will not
manufacture planes of American
design in Europe. .
the plane
were said to be six of the Army's
latest bombers and pursuit planes
heretofore denied to foreign pur-
chasers. Officials indicated however
that the release of planes would
not be a blanket one. The War
and Navy Departments they mid
will decide which of tne ships now
being built may be bought by the
allies and in every case the manu-
facturer must have a better type
in prospect
