Fleet, Subs, and War Talks Roil Mediterranean
The week’s review notes Britain and France forming a vast destroyer fleet for Mediterranean patrols to guard neutral shipping under a Nyon Pact. It records Italian and German absence, Russia’s push to name Italy as pirate, and the pact’s emphasis on submarine conduct and humane precautions amid looming European tensions. It also covers Japanese advances in China, Shanghai’s devastation, casualties totaling thousands, and strategic shifts as German officers influence Chinese retreat plans. Economic moves include Morgenthau’s $300 million cash issue and Federal Reserve actions. Roosevelt braces for possible U.S. involvement and vows to keep the nation out of war. Also noted: a record cotton crop forecast of 15.098 million bales.
