 Kingsley Wood was epected to speak for about 50 minutes this af- ternoon, instead of the usual two and half hours.
 The feeling seemed to be that Viscount Halifax had said enough to make Britain's stand clear. Mill lions upon millions of persons in Britain and throughout the English speaking. world, throughout great continents and in lonely islands heard him.
 Fiery Halifax Speech
 London, July 23.- (UP) Lord Halifax, British Secretary, told Adolf Hitler and the world last night that i've shall not stop fight ing until freedom for ourselves and others is secure"
 In a broadcast to the Empire and the United States, Halifax rejected Hitler's demand, voiced in a speech before the Reichstag in Berlin Fri- day, that Great Britain surrender or be destroyed.
 We never wanted war and cer- tainly no one here wants the war to go on a day longer than neces- sary," Halifax said, adding that the British would continue to fight un- til their objectives had been realiz- ed.
 Referring directly to Hitler's ad- dress, Halifax continued:
 Many of you will have read two days ago the speech in which Hitler summoned Britain to capitulate to his will.
 Hitler Distortions
 T will not waste your time by dealing with Hitler's distortions of almost every main event since the war began. He says he has no desire to destroy the British Empire, but there was in his speech no sugges- ton that peace must be based on justice, no word of recognition that other nations of Europe have any right to self-determination. the principle he has so often invoked for Germany.
 His only appeal was to the base instinct of fear. his only arguments threats.
 His silence as to the future of the nations who, on one false pre- text or another, he has subjugated is significant. Quite plainly his pie ture of Europe is one of Germany lording it over these peoples whom he, one-by-one, deprived of freedom.
 Our picture. drawn again in bold colors by the President of the United States and Gen. Jan Shuts (Prime Minister of fthe union of South Africa), is quite different.
 Unmoved By Threats
 With them, we see Q Europe Of free association and independent states. And because of that contrast we remain unmoved by threats not accompanied by any appeal to our sense of right or justice.
 "Hitler has now made plan that he Is preparing to direct the whole weight of German might against this country. That is why in every part of Britain. great towns and re mote villages alike, there is only one spirit of indomitable resolution.
 "Bad faith, cruelty, crimes become right through the fact that it Is he, Hitler, who ordains theni--that is the fundamental chnileu2e og 2nti-

Naval Planes Attack

NaV0h El8ncS Abtbck
 London, July 23- (UP)-British naval planes attacked the German base at Bergen, Norway, yesterday and sank an enemy anti-aircraft ship, the admiralty said today.
 The attack was in line with British efforts to cripple all bases from which Germany is likely to launch a blitzkrieg against the British Isles.
 The admiralty said that the raid on Bergen was made by Suka planes attached to the fleet air arm.
 lowing to low visibility and unfa- vorable weather conditions the ob- jectives were not in all cases at- tained," the admiralty said.
 An anti-aricraft ship, usually a destroyer, is especially equipped with guns, searchlights, detectors and other equipment for warding of att tacks from the air.
 The Skuas-fieet air arm dive bombers-operated from an aircraft carrier against Bergen.
 Will Beat on Hitler
 Washington, July 23-(UP)-Lord Lothian, British ambassador to the United States, predicted last night that the United Kingdom will beat oil the anticipated German ''blitz- krieg" against the British Isles.
 Interviewed by Drew Pearson and Robert S. Allen, Washington col- umnists, during a National Broad casting company program, the aTn- bassador said that Great Britain would make some arrangement with this country regarding British coi- onies in event there appeared to be danger of them falling into enemy hands.
 "The resolution of our people is very high" he said. '"There is no sign of his (Hitler) affecting the spirit either of our men or our women by bombing. To conquer England, Hitler has / either to starve us out or land and maintain an army sufflciently large to occupy our country"
 He said that Britain's most urgent need from the United States was destroyers land armed motor boats to assist in preventing the invasion of Britain and to deal with sub- marines" A hundred of these now, he said, might mean the difference between success and failure.'
 "In the long rlin," he added. i've need airplanes."

 Lord Halifax, it was said, failed to recognize the "true significance" of Hitler's speech when he said that Hitler merely threatened" Whether the Fuehrer was merely threatening or not will soon be shown," said an informant.
 (The German wireless, in a dis patch picked up in New York, gave substantially the same view of Lord Halifax's speech, quoting well in- formed Berlin sources, and added: Facts must now speak, it is declared in Berlin, and responsibility for all that is coming as was repeatedly and clearly stated from the German side and recently by the Fuehrer, now falls on Churchill and those British politicians who also in this case pre- ferred simply to reject the Fuehrer's offer without discussing it objec- tively."C
 High Command Communique
 A high command communique as- serted that German planes had bombed port establishments, air. ports, anti-aircraft batteries and searchlight positions in Great Bri- tain. The ports of Pembroke, in- cluding petroleum reservoirs: Chat ham, Sheerness, Edinburgh and Aberdeen were particularly" bomb- ed, the communique said.
 At sea, 1t was asserted, a small German submarine sank 18,00O tons of British conveyed shipping, and German airplanes struck three Brit ish merchant ships.
 British planes, the communique said, continued their attacks on non-military objectiveS in northern and western Germany, damaging thereby a village church and some houses" One British plane was shot down, 1t was said, and one German plane was missing.
 Of the British bombings, news. papers had blazoned in their head lines that Prime Minister Winston Churchill had replied to Hitler's of- fer with bombs.
 The newspapers spread headlines across first pages describing British air raids during the weekend, say- ing that IS persons had been killed and g seriously wounded in three towns.
 The speech of Viscount Halifax, British foreign secretary, rejecting Hitlers reichstag speech, was made too late for publication in this mornings newspapers or for imme- diate official answer.
 Nazi sources, however, said that 1t would cause no surprise here.
 It was held still that there was Q distinction between the statements of ruling plutocrats' in Britain and the British people. The voice of the people, it was held, had not yet been heard.
 The official news agency, in brief report of the spech, said Halifax has interpreted Hitler,s appeal to comEion sense" as 8 threat. It termed unctuous, Halifaxs remarks on the tragedy that German vic- tory would bring to the world.

BY the Associated Press.

Secretary Woodring today coupled
stout defense of the Armys new
foreign sales policy for late-model
airplanes with a denial that the
policy had been adopted under
coercion and statement that "as
long as am Secretary ofeWar am
not going to be pushed around"
The War Department chief told
the House Military Committee that
the revised policy had been 'Oorked
out by him and his advisers with
out coercion or pressure from any,
body" His statement followed a
question by Representative Andrews,
Republican, of New York as to
whether there had been friction be-
tween Secretary Woodring and 4
committee recently authorized by
President Roosevelt to coordinate
foreign plane purchases with domes-
tic needs.
Secretary Morgenthau Of the
Treasury is the liaison between this
committee and the White House
and there had been reports of pos
sible conflict between the COM
mittees wishes and those Of Secre-
tary Woodring.
Will Aid Development.
In support of the new policy, Mr..
Woodring told the committee that
it would assist the United States
Army to keep its airplane develop
ment constantly modern. At the
same time he declared the Army
already has possibly half dozen
types of planes superior to any in
the world"
The new policy provides for the
sale to foreign nations-principally
France and Britain-of the newest
types of military aircraft actually
in production.
This policy, Mr.. Woodring testi-
fed, should assist in maintaining
us progressively in situation where
we will have the most modern
equipment" Achievement of su-
perior types to date was attributed
by the War Department chief to the
0eSlgn COmpeClIlOn ana competitive
bidding features Of the Army's air
craft procurement policy.
Secretary Woodring did not spec
ify which types he considered to be
superior, nor give particular points
of superiority.
Will Reveal No Secrets.
With regard to the new foreign
sales policy, the Secretary said that
it would not result in disclosure OF
military secrets nor in delay to the
Air Corps expansion program.
when it is to the advantage OF
the national defense the War De-
