Yesterday was the 318th ami
versary of the Pilgrims landing at
Plymouth Rock and 1t seemed like
a good day to run down the theory
that the Mayflower anchored there
because the beer ran out.
Authority for the statement is the
United Brewers Industrial Founda-
ton, which has just flooded the
Capital with a booklet about-(guess
what)-beer.
It said:
Historical record indicates that the
shortage of the beer supply aboard
the Mayflower was responsible for
the landing of the Pilgrims at
Plymouth"
Historical records were found at
the Library of Congress and the
Office of the Federal Writers Project
which has done research into such
incidents.
At the Library, there was May
flower document published in 1922
entitled "A Relation, or Journal, of
the Beginning and Proceedings of
the English Plantation Settled at
Plymouth, in New England"

with us. And they will. Our Gov
ernment does not have to use mill
tary force and will not unless neces-
sary."
The State Department had re-
ceived with frank astonishment the
German protest against Secretary
1ckes' Cleveland speech, in which
he declared that for a comparison
with modern relationships it was
necessary to go back to period of
history when man was unlettered,
benighted and bestial.'
MI. WelleS' pointblank refusal to
apologize was delivered in some of
the plainest language which the
State Department has used in 20
years. 1t was generally believed
President Roosevelt knew of his in
tention to speak out.
An effort was made to keep the
statement secret, but it became
known in Berlin. Acting Secretary
Welles then decided to release full
report Of the conversation.
U. S. Opinion Shocked.
He told DR.. Thomson that recent
Nazi policies had shocked American
public opinion more profoundly than
anything that has taken place in
many decades, and that public
indignation here was inescapable.
I Mr.. Welles was particularly
aroused by many sighting refer
ences to President Roosevelt and
Woodrow Wilson by German news
papers and officials who, he told
DR.. Thomson. the United States
knew were completely under the in
f1uence and dictation of the Hitler
government.
He said the German protest came
with singularly i'll grace from q
government that had openly per-
mitted such attacks over a period OF
many months, and that there was
nothing the United States was dis
posed to do so long as this cam
paign continued, even though it
was recognized public recrimina-
tions served on beneficial purpose
The Reich had complained that
Secretary Ickes, among other things
had criticized acceptance by Henry
Ford and Charles A. Lindbergh of
German decorations. Mr.. Welles
dismissed this phase of the COM
plant with a curt reminder that
such criticism of Americans by an
American official was purely a
domestic question which he could
not discuss with a representative
Of any foreign government.
Mr.. Welles' statement was in con-
trast to Secretary Hull's expression
of regret on March s, 1897, after
Mayor F.. H. La Guardia of New
York had denounced Adolf Hitler.
II very earnestly deprecate the ut
terances which have given offense to
the German government" Secretary
Hull had told the German Ambas-
sador in response to a protest
against Mayor La Guardias re-
marks.
'They do not represent the .atti-
tude of this Government toward the
German government. 1t is our policy
to conduct the official relations with
other nations upon basis of COM
plete and mutual respect for the
rights and sensibilities of each
other"
The American attitude since that
incident has changed progressively
President Roosevelt recently criti-
cized anti-Jewish activities in Ger
many and called Ambassador Hugh
Wilson home. Germany then sent
for her envoy to Washington, Hans
Dieckhof1. The general belief here

picture of Mr.. Ickes with this cap

H. L. Ickes. 64-year-old Secretary
Of the Interior of the United States,
who through anti-German intrigues
wants incurably to poison Americas
relations with Germany and drive

Goering's newspaper, the National

what has Ickes got to say? Ap-
parently nothing-absolutely MOTH
ing. He is also responsible for
scandalous happenings in the United
States, which again was proved by
the Coster case because he failed to
take decisive steps to combat crime.
He rather prefers to deliver hate
inspired speeches against Germany.

pressed a desire for the abrogation

Ickes Speech Last Sunday.
Mr.. Ickes speaking Sunday before
the Cleveland Zionists Society, said,
in part:
SO = 1t is not fair to the Mid
die Ages to compare present day
European relationships with that
period. To seek true compari-
son it is necessary to go back into
