 ''I hope to see the North American Continent preserved and safeguarded for the white mans institutions and culture. That is why I believe Canada and the United States should combine to run out motor roads and railways through the Can- adian Northwest to the Behr- ing Sea. That is why Canada and America should have strat- egic naval bases at the Vest ern end of Alaska and at Port land Canal. Portland Canal can be made the greatest military, naval and air base ever con- structed. It is a thousand miles nearer Japan and Manila than Seattle. It is nearer to the Great Lakes than Seattle by rail. The west side of this great naval and military base is American territory, the east side Canadian.
 "In any future conflicts be- tween the colored and white the English speaking people of all races and nationalities must hang together. Any other course spells destruction. All the vacant lands and empty spaces in Australia and North America should be filled up as speedily as possible with people of the white race.
 "The reason is perfectly ob- vious to any thinking man who will look at the omens in the skies across the Pacific. The tens of millions in Europe whose vision, usefulness and efficiency are blasted by race, class party and creed hatreds, are too blind to see the omens in Oriental skies, in Darkest Africa and in Russia.
 Even in America there are apostles of race suicide and of race hatred who do not see that colored peoples are multi plying far faster than white people and that the efficiency of the colored in agriculture, in manufacture, in transportat- ion, in thrift and in war is in- creasing at a most dangerous rate.
 ''I am in the sunset of life and have no fear of Armaged- don and I am not worried about what will happen when I am gone beyond the Great Divide. Yet, I cannot help won- dering whether the fathers and mothers of today have any thought of the great and fateful problems which their children and grandchildren

 On the Bourse the shouting of orders for stocks turned into a great cheer. Every one seemed to feel that it was q national triumph. Those who heard the news passed it along to the crowds in the streets and knots of people discussed it ex- citedly and joyfully.
 The report that Captain Nunges- ser had been sighted off Newfound- land was displayed on a big electric sign in the Place De LOpera and attracted such a huge crowd that traffic in the vicinity had to be sus- pended and the traffic policemen in the district themselves joined the celebration.

MRS. GRAY SAYS SHE
 CANNOT COMPREHEND
Staggered by Tragedy Only SOlace Is Husbands
 Confession

Newark, \. J.. May g R-Mrs. Henry Judd Gray. whose husband is now on trial in Long Island City for the murder of Albert Snyder. in an interview today with the Newark Evening News, declared she was re- lieved by her husbands confession on the witness stand and said: Judd has purged his soul; that gives me my great solace.'
 "Oh, this is all nightmare" she sighed as she sought to hold back more of the tears that have swelled her cheeks. But Judd's straight forward and manly confession show ed that he is repentant, and proved him to be the man in whom I had implicit faith. His insistence upon tellinr the truth revealed his true character and convinced me that his trait of profound sympathy with everybody ensuared him in the clutches of the wretch of woman responsible for his downfall.
 This Snyder woman has said Judd was the only one who sympathized Nitli iltls IL was ilht Jtttuus body received his kindly thoughts and consideration. He simply could not help sharing the troubles of others with whom he was acquaint- ed"
 Mrs. Gray said she has done every thing she could for her husband. She is financing his defense.
 "I couldn't sit in at his trial" she protested. II wasn't capable of 1t physically or mentally.
 II have done everything possible in q financial way for Judd. It will mean q tremendous sacrifice to me. Since the disclosure of this awful tragedy. life to me has been almost a complete blank. It is hard enough for me to believe it is true. I can- not comprehend it.
 Tn letters to me he has insisted that I alone received his true love. l must believe that. for my whole life was devoted to make his home all that a wife could. What little consolation l have had in the dark weeks that have intervened since this blow. has come from the assur- ance of my friends and Judd's that our home afforded everything that is worthwhile in this life
 Judd Gray had religion. The truthfulness of that was evidenced hy what he did on the witness stand"
