B e r i c h t e of October 2, 1940. 2t^2/s SENDER LONDON /Czech/: The chief of the dagdfliger commander of the American Air Force has arrived in London today except for the airways from the USA. He will join British forces. Last night it was announced that the American government has released the export of machine tools worth 7 million dollars to Russia. The Government has also announced that it reserves the right to stop the export of war material and other goods which have been sold to a foreign power but have not yet been delivered. Therefore, these goods can then be returned to the producer, who is then free to sell them to England. Reuter reports that the U.S. vision commission has admitted that oil tankers are chartered by more than loo.oo t of Russia. - The shipping commission has also accepted England's offer to sell to this aged sehiffe for the price of 4 million dollars l9. The official Turkish radio yesterday sent a warning to Germany that if the German troop movements in Romania were intended as a prelude to a march through Turkey on the way to Egypt, they would hit 2 million Turkish bayonets. At the same time, the Germans intimidated Turkey. Therefore, the German Ambassador to Turkey follows the example of many other German ambassadors ubd ha some high Turkish officials and some members of the diplomatic corps entertained with a whole series of German war films, which showed the brutal attacks of the German air and armor weapon. - The Turkish Prime Minister, who did not attend this demonstration, had another meeting with the Russian ambassadors yesterday. News Chronicle describes in an editorial how passive resistance is constantly increasing in all the territories occupied by the Germans. In all these peoples, the danger of a revolution has not yet been eliminated and will never be. We must not forget that we are here in England in defence, but it is also the enemy. The hordes in high boots and with the coloured shirts have gone through a wide area, but they have, besides some other disadvantages, harvested what is called "silent impertinence". It is a silent resistance of the unpressed peoples. You need many divisions to become your master.
