Ambassador Must
Explain Interview
On Belgium Famine

WASHINGTON. Aug. 7. CUP)-
Acting Secretary of State Summer
Welles disclosed today that the
State Department has asked John
Cudahy, Americar ambassador to
Belgium, for a text and explanation
of his remarks at a press inter-
view in London yesterday.
Cudahy was quoted in London
dispatches as saying that Belgium
faced a famine unless the United
States could get food to the Bel
gian people through the British
blockade.
Welles said Cudahy had granted
the interview without consulting
with the demantment He declined
to comment further pending receipt
of the full text of Cudahy's re-
marks.
Welles said that government had
received no complete or authentic
information regarding the food sit
uation in central Europe. He said
the government had fragmentary
reports, but he added that accurate
information regarding crop condi-
tions was difficult to obtain.
The British press criticized Gu
dahy's remarks and the ministry of
economic warfare took sharp issue
with the report of imminent food
shortages in Belgium,

On widely scattered African
fronts and in bombing expeditions
against the vital British bases at
Alexandria and Haifa the Fascist

ly punching at enemy defense, with
control of the Suez canal as their
ultimate objective.
Adolf Hitler's war machine re-
manned momentarily in the back
ground with continued sporadic
aerial raids on the British Isles
but there appeared to be an in
creased agitation regarding possible
participation by Spain on the side
of the axis powers.
From Rome, reports were per-
mitted to circulate that another
bombing attack on Gibraltar might
have involved Spanish planes and
at Madrid the Falangist newspaper
Arriba asserted that Spain was a
moral belligerent" and ION the
verge of war" against Britain.
In regard to the Americas, the
Fascist newspaper editor, Virginio
Gayda, wrote that the axis powers
have no intention now or in the
future of spreading the war across
the Atlantic. His editorial was
sharply critical of what he called
"alarmist" statements by United
States Secretary of sffstate Cordell
Hull and it sought TO soothe any
war fears that may exist in Latin
America.
Italian operations in Africa ap-
peared to be preliminary to an Of
fensive from Libya against Egypt
as well as drives already in pro-
gress into Kenya colony and British
Somaliland.
There was little definite news
regarding operations of the three
Italian columns that advanced into
the dry and burning frontier of
British Somaliland, home of the
famous British Camel Corps, in an
effort to cut a path to the gulf
OF Alden entrance to the Red Sea.

strap on his SunSuit and set his
chin stubbornly. I'm not going TO

A man can't stand everything,
of course. Especially if manly dig
nifty has been affronted by a little
maternal discipline.
"Very well. his mother said, I'll

possessions, rolled them in a ban
dana. His mother still made no
move to stay his rash act.
Goodbye, son. she said cheer
fully. Good luck. Go down and
tell Dad goodbye, too. He'll want
to know you're leaving

patted down town to see Dad.

greeted him calmly.
Better eat a candy bar before

the would be world traveller. The
youngster still wore his sunsuit and
carried his bandana bundle in true
hobo style. AS soon as the candy
was disposed of, Wallis shook hands

' Goodbye, son. You're on your
own now
Scared to death, lonely, but still
defiant. Donny slowly walked down
the street.
He loitered around until dinner
time, then, greatly embarrassed, ap-
peared at the family board.
After all, if there is nothing SEN
sational about running away why
bother?
