Day's News lU ; ; 1 By FRANK JENKINS "TODAY'S (Saturdoy's) chapter ; of tho current German 'Mlussian mystery thriller la con tributed by a London "foreign source" -who, of course, li a closa relative of our fumltlar anonymous friend "Informed sources." He thlnki Germany l making Demand! on Russia that are so severe Stalin won't daro to sub mit. "THESE demand), he intlmatei, 1 Includo full German control af Ruulan oil fleldi, Ruuian in miry and Ruulan agriculture. They are dictated, ho soys, by clique of German leaden head ed by Goerlng and lomo army cenerali. Thli clique, he says, li now In the ascendency In Germany. Ita memberi favor war as the only way to gain for Germany tho FULL benefit of Ruulan Industry and agriculture. ' They are described as Increas ingly worried about the pros pects of a long war, with the United Stales acting as a gran- ry and arsenal for Britain. So (presumably) they are looking for a granary and arsenal ol their own. : They think Ruuia will be no tougher than I'oland. PAUSE her for a moment, to recall that In September of IfUl -- ft treaty of non-aggression and Inutual aulsUnce. Hitler then needed to keep Russia off Ger many' neck. - Now (If our friend "London foreign source" Is gueulng any where near right) Germany Is cold-bloodedly planning to take Russia over by force, If she can't manage It by bluff. Such Is modern gangster war fare. "THIS London story says the German-Turkish treaty con- tains a secret clause - binding Turkey to benevolent neutrality In the event of war between Germany and Russia. The re Suit of that would be to close the Dardanelles, thus isolating Russia from possible British aid. WAS before stated in this de- partmcnt, everybody In this country (which draws nearer each day to the fighting) would be glad to see Germany tangle with Ruuia. Wo must remem ber. that Germany isn't provok Ing any fights in order to WEAKEN herself. ' " If she should go Into Ruuia, It will be to GET THINGS SHE NEEDS not to waste her strength In useless brawls. - Let's do no wishful thinking. It's dangerous. RUT there are Interesting inv , plications In this London ttory If It should happen to come somowhoro near the truth. ' - There is the suggestion, for example of CLIQUES In Ger many. Cliques Imply division of -opinion. Division of opinion in W dictator-ruled country tmpllos DOUBT as to tho efficacy of the mot hods being followed by the dictator. V Mention of cliques conjures up visions of little groups getting to gether and saying to each other: "Something must bo DONE about It, and we are tho ones to do It." " Thus far Germany has been represented as UTTERLY UNITED. THERE is also the suggestion , that Germany is getting off her program.-. ! Tho Germans era a methodical race. They like to follow the blue- print. They Ilka to find -lhcmsclves ench day whero tho yjuo print TOLD thorn they would bo, If they find them selves off tho charted course, they may got UNEASY. .

Lindbergh last night asked Americans to "put your support behind a negotiated peace in Europe" or suffer tho consequences of a Hitler victory, a prostrate Europe and "possibly a prostrate America as well. At an America First mass meeting In Hollywood, bowl, Lindbergh contended in a speech prepared for delivery that Amer ica "still is unprepared for war, and tho superhuman task In volved In crossing an ocean with an army." "Fallacies" Although he admitted the weapons of modern warfare make America less vulnerable to Invasion than ever before, the noted aviator charged that the to chief contentions of Inter ventionists are fallacies: (1) that modern warfare makes this country more vulnerable to in vasion; and (2) that the best way to defend America is by defend ing England. "Whllo the developments of modern warfare have Increased the vulnerability of nations within a hemisphere to each other, they have decreased the ability of one hemisphere to at tack tho other successfully," he told the audience in tho vast out door amphitheater. "Tho development of aviation made France and England much moro vulnerable to Germany than they were before, but avia tion makes it moro difficult for Europo to attack America, or for America to attack Europe, than It has ever been In the pest. "In fact, the developments of this war Indicate that aircraft may make it Impossible for an enemy force to land on our American coast, regardless of how strong that force may be. Sen.
