WASHINGTON. Aug. IA
Things a young man learns
about the capital-but not by
looking at buildings.
That high government officials
are not always trying to throw
a smoke screen over the other
fellows point of view. some
times bend over backwards not
to. When Corde1 Hull issued a
statement recently on the Ha-
vana conference Outlining many
dangers by which he believed
this hemisphere beset) he had it
ready two days before release
and asked newspapers to hold it
so 1t would not conflict with re-
port of Col Charles A. Lind
bergh's radio address expressing
views Just opposite to those held
by the administration. Note:
PeSSimiSts said phooey MIR.
Hull did not want to take any of
the play away from Gen. John J.
Pershing'S speech which was
much more in line.)
That those long-winded con-
greSSional committee hearings
and equally long-winded de-
bates on the senate floor debate
IN the house is limited and rep
reSentativeS have to take to the
radio if they want to spout at
length are not just for blowing
off steam They are the lode
stones by which lawmakers test
public reaction Often bills that
start out as if they are going
through without a hitch turn up
on the floor In an entirely alter
ed form as committee hearings
result in an overwhelming pub
lie reaction.
How Lobbies Work
That lobbyists are a recognized
part of our form of lawmaking in
spite of the stigma attached to
the title because of the graft and
abuses through the years Often,
il is the man or group that hires
the lobbyist who is bilked. Many
lobbyists carry no weight what
ever, are considered pests.

nv Associnted Preasl

(By Associated Preas)
LONDON. Aug. l4.-A IulI in
the aerial bliizkrieg came this
morning when. for a full ix-hour
period. no German planes were
reported over any section of Eng
land.
AT noon today, however, wave
after wave of planes appeared
from across the channel, contain
ing a total of 200 Nazi bombers.
Anti-aircraft batteries. according
to British advice here, prevented
any serious property damage, as
they went into action turning
back most of the planes.
But the real news of the day
in the Battle of England, were
the stories that pointed out the
error of calling the battle by that
name.
The R. A. F.. it appears. has
gone on rampage with numer-
GUS attacks in the last two DAYS
over Italy and Germany.
Last night, the war office re-
ported, a full flight of English
bombers traversed all of France,
crossed the Swiss alps and drop
ped hundreds of bombs on many
cities in Italy, including Turine,
Augusta and Milan.
In the latter city, returning
pilots reported that many of the
bombs, of incendiary make,
caused huge fires in aircraft fac
tories and destruction to railroad
lines and other military objec-
tiveS.
Piercing new territory in Ger
many, r. A. F. bombers came
within ten miles of Berlin and
conducted several destructive
raids last night.
The raids on Italy came as a
complete surprise TO the Italians,
as no anti-aircraft batteries
greeted the attacking units. The
British dropped pamphlets over
Italy, too, it was announced. call
ing on Italians to cease fighting
for Hitler
British experts were of the
opinion that if the Raj. raids
on Germany continue TO be as
successful as they have been, that
Germany would almost certainly
have to sue for peace. In the
words of one expert-the situa-
ton was summed up thuSly:
IF the NaziS were as successful
in their bombing raids over Eng
land as we have been over Ger
many and German-controlled
property, we would be in serious
straightS. Add to that picture
the fact that we can call on all
of the world for supplies. and
that Germany is prevented by the
blockade from getting much
needed material.
Alarms were sent out in North
England this morning when
vigilanteS discovered what ap-
peared to be from. eight to ten
parachutes. Despite failure to
find any Germans. the authori-
ties are of the opinion that para
chute landings were made. The
parachutes were of a new type.
capable of carrying S00-pound
loads through the air.
British advices this morning
on the Somaliland engagements
were productive of serious con-
sideration. While the positions
held by British troops in that
African sector were said to be in
jeopardy, the situation was not
thought to be hopeless. Increas-
ing numbers in the ranks of the
Italian attackers was bringing
about a situation which may
cause orders for retreat to be is
sued.

F. D. Supports
Small Nations

WASHINGTON - Presiden I
Roosevelt. speaking Of the Russo
Finnish peace. reaffirmed late
Wednesday his belief in the right
of small nations to maintenance Of
their integrity against attack by
superior force.
The president took the Russo
Finnish peace as an occasion for
re-stating the American principles
1 of adherence to law and order. and
condemnation for the resort to
force as an srbiter OF international
differences.
He emphasized that the cessa-
ton of hostilities has not lessened
I his belief that the spread of force
makes the independent existence
of small nations in every conti-
nent" insecure and thus "jeop-
ardizes the rights Of mankind to
eself-government.
The ending of this war does not
wet clarity the inherent right of
psmall nations to the maintenance
eof their integrity against attack
by superior force" he declared.
