Sea 'Action Is . Reported ;
Troops Concentrated
in North Ireland ;
(By The Asosciated Press)
.The. world halted expectantly
today for Britain's final and re
sounding "nol" to Adolf Hitler's
offer of German-dictated peace. :
That answer generally was ex
pected to be giTen this1 afternoon
in the house of commons by Prime
Minister Winston Churchill, al
though, he has scheduled no for
mal speech.
On Britain's reply, authorized
German sources said, depends the
"zero moment" of Germany's
long-threatened blitzkrieg. ,
The Germans already knew
, what the answer would be, for
Britain's Foreign Secretary Lord
Halifax told the world in a radio
address last night that Britain
would keep on fighting "till free
dom for ourselves and others is
secure."
.Royal Air Force
Emphasizes Reply
And the German press acknowl
edged that the royal air force al
ready had given the reply in war
ring fashion' a vast Increase of
British raids on Germany since
Hitler's reichstag address of last
Friday.
The nazi air force meanwhile
maintained its constant harass
ment of Britain in thundering
raids this morning on England,
Scotland and Wales with heavy
Incendiary and high-explosive
bombs. .!
Formal comment' in Berlin was
reserved hot the' informal opinion
in German politicals circles was
that the British minister's address
"changed nothing." German offi
cialdom, however; waited to see
what Churchill might say.
The German press reported that
British air raids on Germany have
Increased greatly since Hitler's of
fer was made last Friday and
showed in advance what Church
ill's answer would be. Civilians
were reported killed by British
bombs in Bremen, Hamburg Wis
mar and Schwerin.
Prayers From US
Asked by Halifax ,
The prayers of the United
States for a British victory were
asked by Lord Halifax, who said
that across Che "wide Atlantic
there are mighty '-nations who
view his (Hitler's) works with
growing detestation." -
"The people of the United States
did not build their hew home in
order to surrender it to this fa

Soil Program Aid
Reductions Voted
WASHINGTON, July SJMffV
Rates established for cooperation
in the 1940 agricultural conser
vation program were cut 10 per
cent today.
Announcing this action, the
agricultural adjustment adminis
tration said it was necessitated by
a decrease in anticipated funds
and a larger participation in the
program. ,
The amount available for the
program, officials explained, was
reduced by congress order that
final payments' under the 1939
program be made from the $500,
00,000 appropriated for 1940. "
The conservation payments go
to farmers limiting their-acreage
of soil-depleting cropa . in ac
cordance with the national goals
established by the AAA. They
are distinct from the farm parity
payments which are not affected
by today's' decision.
The 10 per cent reduction Is
the maximum that the .AAA can
make. When enacting- the soil
conservation act, congress author
ised the AAA to raise or lower
the announced annual rates by as
much as 10 per cent to adjust
thehm to available funds.

In his speech, expected to as

attaining their ends.
Pointedly, he served notice that
the United States would not
countenance any effort to "modify

possession in the western world,

or by any impairment whatsoever
