Conciliatory Declarations
Made By New Commerce
Agent To U. S.
Rv n

NEW YORK, April 10 Up -
Germany expects peace in the near
future and plans to enter into an
economic arrangement with the
United States based upon the Hull
reciprocal trade policy, her newly
accredited diplomatic commercial
representative said today.
DR.. Gerhardt Alois Westrick,
commercial counsellor to the Ger
man embassy, said Germany was
hopeful of a peace that would
permit commercial expansion and
prosperity throughout the world.
His purpose here is to prepare the
way for an economic settlement
between Germany and the United
States, he said, adding:
Nothing OF Allies
st am hopeful of peace soon
because Germany is not going to
ask anything of England or
France except free acces to raw
materials on a competitive basis
and free trade and foreign ex-
change throughout the world
along the lines Of the Hull plan.

arrangement would be the provi-

BERLIN, April IS. - up -
Germany challenged the full
powers of her foes tonight to
break her steadily reinforced
hold ON Norway and Denmark
as she consolidated her gains
amid furious British thrusts
from the air and acclaimed the
sinking of two British subma-
rines by her own warbirds.
"The German position in Scan
dinavia is impregnabIe against
the mightiest blows the enemy
possibly can deliver" authorized
commentators proclaimed.
Their cry of defiance came at
the end of a day in which main
developments recorded by Ger
mans included:

North sea surprised two Brit
ish submarines as they came to
the surface and sank them at
the same time.

PORT IS %RECAPTURED
Man o'War Leads The Way
As Destroyer Flotilla
Renews Attack
BRITISH SHIPS SAFE
By ROBERT

LONDON, Apri l13-(AP)
Great Britain threw the
overwhelming might of her
navy today against the Nazi
captors of Norway's ore port
of Narvik and announced
she had sent seven German
destroyers to the bottom of
the rocky bay and narrow
inlet there in the second sea
assault on that focal point of
northern war within four
days.
Even while King George
vi and the British govern
ment were assuring King
Haakon of Norway and his
people that Allied help
against the German invad-
ers is coming and coming
soon, the great DaCtleSnlp
Warspite, rebuilt veteran of
Jutland, was leading a pow
erful flotilla up narrow Mar
vik ford, smashing a Ger
man coastal battery and then
sinking Nazi destroyers be-
fore and behind the town,
killing perhaps a thousand
German seamen.
The admiralty confidently
predicted this daring victory
would "clarify the situation
on this part of the Norweg-
ian coast"
Troops Not Mentioned

ish troops were landed, although

HARE-TARzAN TO
SUPPORT MAIN co
OF ARENA'SCARD
PROMISES TO BE GOOD SEMI
FINAL ATTRACTION; Elk
CELLENT PRELIMINARIES
ANNOUNCED FOR SHOW
By OSCAR L. MILAN


Jack Hare, Navy ight-heavy-
weight slugger, and Kid Tarzanr
hard-hitting dynamo and pride
of the Cuban Club, have been Sc
lected by Promoter Carbonel to
back-up the Buddy Speidel-Mario
Perez main go at the Strand
Arena tomorrow night. They will
fight six rounds.
Hare, a stable mate of Speidel
and a fighting fool, has been
working out at the Arena on
Duval street daily for the past
several weeks in preparation for
this fight. The husky Sailor looks
very impressive in mis- gym
workouts and seems to be quite
fast with his mitts. In a sparring
session last Sunday he put away
a Negro sparring mate and boxed
two fast and furious rounds with
Angel MenendeZ, promising
lightweight being trained by
George Watkins.
Kid Tarzan, the local warrior
who looks like a conner, is in the
pink of condition and has been
taking things quite easy this
week due to the fact that he con-
siders himself shaped up to razor
edge condition. Having been i'm
proving in his boxing rapidly.
the general impression is that if
the bout goes the limit Tarzan
may get the decision over the
smuggling Sailor.
A match that promises to be
packed with action from start to
finish is the Kid Wilkinson-Bat-
Ting Czech personal grudge
fracas. Last Wednesday night
when Czech battered Kid Sam OF
Miami into submission, Wilkin-
son climbed through the ropes
and uttered something to Czech
which the local colored boy didn't
like and they were going to mix
it up then and there but a stop
was put to the potential battle,
Wilkinson was in Sans corner
serving as second at the time, and
ne claims that Czech is only a
ham and egger, but he will have
to step mighty fast if he expects
to show the up-and-coming
Czech, who, so far, has won all
of his fights in this city via the
short route. This is going to be
fast and plenty furious.
Promoter Carbonell, who be-
lieves in giving every one a sec
ond chance to improve himself
has booked Kid Zone Round,
Brass against Young Hancock
who fought a beautiful scrap
with Kid Pijuan Dull Montana,
last week. This will be Brass
last chance and if he loses he
might as well call it quits.
A four-rounder will complete
the card, which gives all indica-
tions of being full of action from,
bell to bell. Reservations may
be made at the Arena box office
today and tomorrow.
