ICKES SAYS AXIS
PLANS SABOTAGE
Asserts It Also Seeks To Drive
Wedge OF Suspicion Be-
tween Americas

NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-R-sec
,etarv of the Interior 1cke'
charged tonight that the Axis plans
to cripple the United States by
sabotage, to sap it by propaganda
and to drive a wedge of suspicion
between this country and Latin
America.
In a speech prepared for the Co
1umbia University institute OF arts
and science, Ickes also denounced
Americans whom he described as
appeasers. Among them he named
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, whom
he called a ''peripatetic appeaser
who would absolutely surrender
his sword even before it is de-
manded."
Last September, Ickes said,
.the Nazis in Los Angeles, at their
meeting in the Deutsches Haus,
offered their nomination for the
presidency of the United States to
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh!
"Of course, I do not say that the
colonel accepted or even was con-
suited about this precious gift.
am merely stating a significant
fact. After all, Lindbergh has been
the proud possessor OF a Hitler
decoration for several years and
his recent utterances, both at
Home and abroad, have not been
ct a tone that would persuade Nazi
Smpathizers in this country that
he would not be susceptible to the
ftattery of a nomination for presi.
ent at their hands, however alb
surd such a gesture might be in
the eyes of patriotic Americans"
The secretary also took Merwin
X. Hart, president of the New
York State Economic Council, to
task on the ground that Hart
"misses few occasions to sneer at
democracy" During the last cam
paign, Ickes said, Hart delivered
an address before the Union
league club in New York in which
he attacked democracy as a for
eign" importation, a communist
plot.
In another part of his speech, in
which he discussed wat he termed
Axis plans, he said:
The Axis plans are far-reach-
ing and worldwide. The dictators
propose to cripple the United
States if they can. One way of do
ing this would be to damage the
Panama Canal.
If that were done, our fleet
would be bottled up in one ocean
and one of our coasts would be
at the mercy of any enemy. The
Axis powers eye the canal with
hungry eyes"

"BuiId-Up" Relief
Explained 10 Women

A simple method has saved many
women lot of suffering!
1t is based on the fact that head
aches, nervousness, cramp-like pain
are often symptoms Of functional
dysmenoyrhed due to malnutrition.
Help for this condition so often
follows the use of CARDUI, be-
cause it usually increases the ap-
petite and the flow of gastric juice;
thus aids digestion and helps build
physical resistance. Usual result
is less periodic distress.
Many who take CARDU1 a few
days before and during "the time"
have found this helps ease periodic
discomfort. Women have used
CARDUI for more than SO years!
