tihed to appear in Manchester traffic court, spoke on "A World in Tur- moil." Mrs. Mcdonnell suffered a slight nose injury.
 Outlining a United States intent on keeping and increasing it's power in the world, Schenker said that the war would probably be with Japan, although he acknowledges that a war with Nippon would be a war with all the Axis powers.
 "This is indeed our war" said Schenker. Washington recognizes that new groups are emerging from the conflict. We have decided to be the center of one of these groups. And we have already taken steps to assure our domination as the center of this new group" by our foreign policy in South America, the Carib- bean, Canada and even lands more distant.
 Schenker's vision of United States immediately at war evidently surprised many of his listeners, de- spite the national defense program and the selective service act. DO you mean" he was asked, "that we are preparing for war now?" And will it be an aggressive war?"
 Well, let's call it a preventive war" said Schenker.
 The speaker painted picture of vanishing nations. "Of the TO or Sc sovereign states which existed before the war, only about six will remain and we will be one of these six" he said. Our life line, he said, includes
