U S Vessels Assume Part Of British Lead
The United States Maritime Commission announced American vessels would handle British shipping services from Canada and the United States to Australia and New Zealand to free British ships for wartime needs. The shift, arranged by the commission and the British supply council, strengthens lifelines while leaving the Neutrality Act intact. President Roosevelt and top officials discussed Britain's urgent wartime needs as White House activity intensified, with Hull, Butler, and others in talks on strategy and economic warfare.

President Roosevelt signaled the new property seizure bill seeks to end irreconcilable strikes or lockouts in defense industries. He cited the Allis Chalmers Milwaukee dispute where neither side would budge, explaining the bill would authorize taking over properties needed for defense and would be used when existing laws do not cover such situations. He noted the public expects labor and capital to align for war production and hinted further measures if talks fail.

London observers believe Britain has already acted covertly in the Syria area to counter any German move into French mandate territory. Informed sources suggest the Middle East communique masks broader operations and speculate on German troop movements as possible diversions while Britain keeps silent. Some doubt whether such actions are underway given the lack of public detail from the Middle East command under Eden.
