"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.
. ' H would be hard for them to
believe that a war with Russia
was a part of tho original plan.

Lindbergh Asks
U. S. Support
Of Quick Peace
HOLLYWOOD, June 1 (UP)
Charles A. 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.

War Department
Asks To Keep
National Guard
WASHINGTON, June 21 (JF)
The war department has recom
mended that President Roosevelt
ask congress to retain the nation
al guard on active duty beyond
the current single year of serv
ice. Announcing this today, the
department said that "legislation
Is, of course, required, and the
final decision is a matter of pub
lic policy which must rest with
the president and the congress."
Without additional congres
sional authority, the first of
some 290,000 guardsmen now on
active service would be de
mobilized September 16.
The war department's recom
mendation was said to have
been affected by the considera
tion that demobilization of the
national guard would mean de
mobilization of 18 of the 33 ex
isting organized divisions of
land forces. Aside from the 18
guard divisions, there are nine
regular army infantry divisions,
two cavalry divisions and four
armored divisions in service or
in process of organization.

ed from American- territory be
fore July 15. -
Undersecretary Welles at the
same time, announced that the
United States embassies in Ber
lin and in Rome have been in
structed to make arrangements
for the return to this country of
all American consular officials
in those two countries, but at
the same time to categorically

them by the nazi and fascist gov
ernments. Agencies Banned
In addition to Italian consular
officials, ' Undersecretary Welles
announced jthat the. Italian gov
ernment had been requested to
remove all agencies and organi
zations of the fascist government,

embassy here. - . . . .
' . All German consulates in this
country were ordered closed last
Monday, and Berlin and Rome
immediately retaliated by order
ing United States consuls out of
Germany, Italy and occupied
countries. Italian consulates at

ed closed several months ago, on

that they had engaged in improp
er activities.

TURK-NAZI TREATY
SEEN SOVIET LOSS
Secret Clause Closes
Dardanelles to
Aid, Claim
LONDON. June 21 UP) A
reliable foreign source said to
day the German-Turkish treaty
contained a secret clause binding
Turkey to benevolent neutrality
in the event of war between Ger
many and soviet Russia. .
The clause, which probably
would bar the Dardanelles to
Russian war or supply ships if
the soviet union fought Ger
many, was said by this source to
have been forced on Turkey by
"terrific German pressure like
the rest of the declaration of
German-Turkish friendship."
ANKARA, Turkey, June 19
(Delayed) UP) A fighting show
down between Germany and
soviet Russia in "days, not

drastic economic concessions was
