Argentina May Differ in Views From Those of
 United States JAPAN IS TURNING
 INTO WORST MENACE Fate of Lithuania, Two Other Nations Solved
 By Soviet Russia
BY JOE ALEX MORRIS

United Press Foreign News Editor)
 European warfare echoed sharply in the Americas to- day when German airplanes were reported to have sunk 8 Panama registered steamer in the Atlantic ocean and Secretary Cordell Hull pre- sented the United States views on vital defense prom lems to an inter-America1 conference ct Havana.
 At London, British officials put emphasis for obvious propaganda purposes on the sinking of the Parl- anna a-registered steamer Frossotilas 1928 tons and about 28 chewmen, by a German airplane some 250 miles of Spain. The British state- ment said that the ipowned in Greece-had been attacked in heavy seas and that heavy loss of life was l feared.
 At the same time, the British admiralty said that a new mine field had been laid of the west coast of England the south coast of 1re- land as a further defensive measure in preparation for the Germans Italian bitzkrieg which Berlin dis patches said Adolf Hitler would de- lay until after an expected speech tomorrow by British Prime Minis ter Winston Churchill
 Suggestion of Hull.
 Hull emphasized that the pro- posed trusteeship of western hen1- sphere possessions of conquered Flu ropean nations implies no hegemony on the part of any member of the er-American group. He suggest- ed that as soon as conditions per- init, these foreign-owned regions should be restored to its original sovereign or be declared independent i when able to establish and maintain stable self-government.
 He suggested immediate adoption of the following four-point plan or cooperative economic action:
 "l. Strengthening and expansion of the activities of the inter- Amerf- can financial and economic advisory committee as an instrument for continuing consultation with respect to trade matters, including espe- cially the situation immediately confronting the American republics as a result of the curtailment and changed character of important for eign markets.
 @. Creation of facilities for the temporary handling and orderly marketing of accumulated surpluses of those commodities which are or primary importance to the nlainte- nance of the economic lie of the American republics, whenever such action becomes necessary. Chief Interest of U. S.
 The United States chief interest centered on Havana, where the zi American republics considered ways and means of preventing any pos- sible outside infringement on this hemisphere, including direct or in direct German control over French or Dutch possessions in the West Indies.

It was forecast that if Churchill made verbal reply to Hitler, in a House of Commons speech, he would make it plain that Britain is ready for peace on its own terms including restoration to freedom of the countries Germany had over run, and guarantees against future German aggression guarantees which would assure the security of the British empire.
 Nazi Raids Grow Furious
 German air raids on Britain gained steadily in fury in apparent preparation for an invasion attempt. Two German planes and probably three were shot down early today; three Sunday; q Saturday. The press association estimated today that excluding any shot down today, Germany had lost l67 planes over or near Britain since its mass raids began June IT and that since the war started Germany had lost 5000 planes and 10000 airmen, including 2,350 planes destroyed by British forces.
 Anti-aircraft guns shot down two German bombers early today over southwest England and were believed to have down third. German planes planes dropped bombs dur ing the night in the midlands and on the northeast coast, destroying one home by fire A greenhouse was damaged in northeast England and a special constable was cut by fly ing glass.
 Incendiary Bombs
 Hit and run raiders dropped high explosive and incendiary bombs on a southeast coast town this morn- ing. They caused a few casualties it was reported, but did little dam- age.
 The flight leader of the hurri- canes said that 40 Dornier-11 bombers, escorted by about 40 Mes serschmidt- 109 and Messerschmidt-

do in view of the vigorous rejection of his Reichstag speech Friday of- fering Britain the choice of accept ing peace or facing destruction, said there had been no official answer. It was explained that time must be given for the "real" British reply; that the decision facing Britain was an important one and one difficult to make.
 But the British should not think they will be able to gain time by not answering an informant said. Hit Ter will wait just so long as he con- siders necessary and not a day long, er."
 Denounced British Press
 Foreign sources denounced the reaction of the British press and of- ficially controlled radio but saic nevertheless that such answers die not constitute an official rejection of Hitler's terms. Churchill, it wa! said, was likely to reply one way ol another tomorrow.
 Neutral observers expressed belle that Hitler would take no action url- til Churchill had had time to speak and that then Hitler's own retort might be prompt.
 Premier Benito Mussolini, con- graduating Hitler on his speech. said in a telegram made public yester- day:
 T repeat: the Italian people come what may-will march with yours until the end; that is, until victory"
 In his reply, thanking Mussolini, Hitler telgraphed:
 United in our world outlook and bound in the strength of our wea- pons, Fascist Italy and National So- cialist Germany will achieve victor iously, by fighting, the freedom of our peoples"

Bengals Aiming
AtHigherSpot

Making q bid for q position
higher than fourth place in the
Cross-State League standings, sta
dium's Tigers will take on the
Walla Walla Blue Devils Saturday
night at s o'clock in the Bengals'
gym. A Lincoln-Stadium reserve
tilt will be the preliminary game.
1t will start at z o'clock.
Thus far in league play. Stadium
has won two games while losing
two. Walla Walla, although rated
better outfit, is in the league
cellar with one win against five de-
feats. The reason for the Devils
poor showing is that although they
have the material, they fail to
work smoothly as a team for
consistent period of time.
The battle will be q return
engagement. Stadium downed
the Sad Satans 80 to IS In .
close tilt last Saturday night
which the Bengals pulled out
of the fire in the last few min
utes Of play.
With the exception of. Ray
Hagen, sophomore center, thu
Tiger squad is now in the peak o.
condition and, according to Coacl
V. C. Lowman. should be ready fol
the Blue Devils.
In Rod Olzendam the Tiger:
have a player that is showing
promise of turning into top fligh
guard. Olzendam has been on thu
squad all season but last Tuesday
in the Bremerton game he hit hi
stride. According to Coach Low
man, Olzendam may take owe
one of the starting berths If h
keeps up his present pace.
The one Blue Devil flash that thu
Bengals will have to watch espe
cially close is big Jack Kenny. tn
Walla Walla center. Kenny cause'
the Stadium forces plenty o
trouble last year and he is evei
better this season.
