(This may be a case of disinformation. The press getting fed information from Czech circles in London, that it was not Czech agents that tried to assassinate Reinhard Heydrich, but it was a Nazi plot against him. This may have been an attempt to put the Germans off the trail and to keep them from killing more Czechs. It did not work.)

(Buried toward the end of the report is this paragraph: "new frontier of limitless expanse - the frontier of human welfare - the task of assuring fair distribution among all nations of the world's goods and services" in the post-war world. He might just as well said "from each according to his ability to each according to his needs." This was one of Karl Marx' quotes. Wikipedia describes the meaning of the quote this way; " The principle refers to free access to and distribution of goods, capital and services. In the Marxist view, such an arrangement will be made possible by the abundance of goods and services that a developed communist system will be capable to produce; the idea is that, with the full development of socialism and unfettered productive forces, there will be enough to satisfy everyone's needs."

After over 100 years of communist terror and failure, we know the principal was not true. Perhaps Sumner Welles did not know, but it is more likely he ignored the evils of communism for the idealistic utopia that communism promised. As it turns out, communism never delivered the utopia it promised, it only delivered death, terror and suffering on a scale never before seen by the human race. It is still delivering that to this day.)

(The unidentified ship was the 5,030-ton U.S. freighter Carrabulle, which was sunk on May 26 by U-106, twenty-two men were lost in the ship.)

(The unidentified ship was the 5,214-ton Clan Skene, which was sunk by U-333. Nine men were lost, there were seventy-three survivors. The master, Edward Gough, stated that this was the fourth ship he had lost during the war. I can find only one ship he had lost, the Clan Ogilvy, which was sunk by U-105 on Mar. 20, 1941. Thirty-six men were lost. He may have been the master of the same ship when it was attacked on June 30, 1940 by U-64. He later lost the Clan MacPherson and four men to U-515 on May 1, 1943.)

(More reprisal killings for the attack on Reinhard Heydrich.)

(The second great victory this spring - 240,000 Soviet prisoners near Kharkov - 20 rifle divisions, 7 cavalry divisions and 14 armored brigades destroyed.)
