For this treason the Hoover gov
ernment is NOW prepared to enter
into secret agreements with the
French inlperialists for the attack on
the Soviet Union and against the
German workers. The Times points

dictated by the unofficial" official
spokesman of the White House and
of Wall Street.
"One view held in administration
