Chi na is of "vastly more importance to America" than the war in Eu rope. "What war?" he aBked, when interviewers asked him what he thought about the European quar rel. "I'm not sure that there is a war in Europe, Hanson Baia. it looks like so much scenery to me. Frankly. I think America is concerning itself too much about Europe." Japan will never conquer Chi na, he declared, nor will China drive the Japanese out. despite the fact that the Chinese are better off today than they were a year ago. japan will wear it self out. or perhaps internal fric tion will force abandonment of the China war, Babson said. If we were to fully develop our trade potentialities with the far east we would have no unem ployment," he stated. "And un employment is still Amerlca'i number one problem." Babson said he believed the allies were allowing the European war to drag, and instead of being interested in killing Germans they were after Hitler and hoped to bring the nazi leader to his senses by bottling up Germany.

The 70-year-old prime minister read his answer to Hitler in pre cise emphatic tones more vigor ous and more dramatic than those he usually employs. He snapped his words as he said the proposals in Hitler's speech were "vague and uncertain and contain no suggestion for right ing the wrongs done to Czecho slovakia and Poland." Gripping one hand in the other he added sharply "we must take it then that the proposals which the German chancellor puts for ward for the establishment of what he -calls the 'certainty of European security' are to be based on recognition of his conquests and his right to do what he pleases with the conquered It would be impossible for Great Britain to accept any auch basis without forfeiting her honor and abandoning her claim that in ternational disputes should be settled by discussion and not by force.
