Conference

NEW YORK, Nov. 26 Q.N.S0.
Bearing last-minute information
on Nazi ambitions for Pan
American trade, the United States
delegation to the Eighth Annual
Conference of American States
was heading for Lima, Peru, today
aboard the liner Santa Clara.
Before the ship pulled away,
Secretary of State Hull Cordell
Hull received a hurried report
from Hugh r. Wilson, American
ambassador to Germany, called
home by President Roosevelt.
The delegates who sailed with
Hull included Adolphe A. Berle,
jr., former city chamberlain; T.
Henry Norweb, United States
minister to the Dominican Repup-

and the Rev. John F. O'Hara,

Before sailing, Hull referred to
the Lima conference as a "solid
cause for hope in a world threat
ened by war"
The prime goal of the nations
to be presented is, he said:
ITO strengthen their tradi.

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-The
assurance with which the average

Adolf Hitler can never reach
across it has aroused the con-
temptuous anger Of Hendrix Viii

quired these latest prosecutions to
wake people up. Even now they
are not awake. They still think Of
it as a German problem, a Euro
pean Notwithstanding that
has to do only with persecution of
the Jews, or the Catholics or the
CzechS.
FORESAW HITLERISM
1T is nothing of the kind. It's
something that is overtaking us,
and unless we do something about
it, We'll be in the same spot the
Germans are now. They laughed
at me when I saw all this coming
in Germany before Hitler took
over. In the last few days I've
received frantic cables begging
for help from Germans and Jews
alike who've done nothing about
Hitlerism for five years."
What is to be done about it?
Van Loon doesn't give the whole
answer in his book, but the title
"Our Battle" gives a hint. It's
high time we realized that we are
heading for a battle to the death
with HitleriSm, and if we realize
it and do something about it. he
says, there is no doubt it will come
out all right.
NEWS CUT OFF
Fright now" he said, "our job
is to get word to the German peo-
pie. Hitler has cut off the news.
Newspapers, magazines, books
and the radio are censored and
barred. But there is a way we
can get word to the Germans. If
our ships stopped arriving in Ger
man ports with food supplies, the
Germans would soon realize that
maybe there's a little water in the
cellar"
What does Van Loon think of
the policy Of appeasement? Does
he believe there should be an cas-
ing up on anti-Nazi pressure here
lest Hitler treat the Jews even
more harshly?
what the hell more could he
ldo?" Van Loon demanded. Hes
