Ways to combat pressure groups which are allegedly urging the united States Congress to transfer 20 of-the new American Flying Fort resses to England will be discussed at meeting of the Committee to Keep America Out of Foreign Wars tomorrow night at the Hotel Elton at 8 o'clock.
 It takes IS months to build a single bomber and leaders of the or- ganization feel that if the flying fortreSses are transferred to Eng land it would greatly weaken olr own national defense. N
 The organization will also be ask ed to adopt a resolution demanding that President Roosevelt and the members of the Congress take nc action which would have this coun- try assume navy control British bases in Singapore.
 The Committee To Keep America Out Of Foreign wars has units now formed in all of the principal cities of the state and within the next few days will start 8 statewide rad io broadcasting campaign designed to spread Americanism.
 The meeting on Friday will be open regardless of age, sex, religion. or race.
 The program of the Committee To Keep America Out of Foreign Wars is as follows:
 Membership is open to every American, except those who are af- filiated with Communistic, Fascist, or NaZist organizations.

 Enforcement of the Neutrality laws.
 Each member is requested to adopt the following slogan: Asia for the AsiaticS, Europe for Europeans and America for Americans.
 Petitions will be distributed at Friday evenings meeting to which all interested persons are requested to attend.
 Leaders of the organization point ed out today that it is far more irll- portant to organize in opposition to Americas involvement in foreign war than it might be to cry over the failure of such an organization if America should become involved in such war.
 The Committee To Keep America Out of Foreign Wars has 2,175 mem- bers in Waterbury and according to present indications more people are joining the movement every day. It

 The heretofore successful at tempts of MT. Hitler to avoid a large scale open water set-to with the Allies have been com mended, even by the prejudiced, as arising out of sound prudence and the best of judgement. That he should have laid plans to match his sea power with that of Britain in wholesale combat, is set down by experts as the monu mental blunder of his career; but it must be remarked with some regret that up to this time the Fuerher has sustained the inn pr ession that he is a man who knows pretty well what he is do- ing.

No great amount of sagacity is required in reaching the conclu- sion that the invasion of Norway and Denmark was by no means a spur of the moment move, like a fist fight precipitated by spite fully chosen language regarding the ancestry of one of the fight CTS. Yet if factual confirmation is required, it may be noted that the Allies have been aware, since about the first of the year, that something was brewing, In the harbors of the Baltic Sea, and in the navigable rivers of Germany, vessels small and great were as- sembling and being reftted for use as transports.
 Though what was going on was known with a considerable de- gree of accuracy, the time, place and nature of the proposed act ivity remained a deep secret, and the Nazi organization must be given credit for ability to keep it's mouth shut. Neither the Brit ish nor the French could presage what was coming. NotWithstand- ing the inquiry trip of Sumner Welles, news of the attack struck the American State Department, the President and Congress with the shock that is said to go with a thousand of brick. MT. Welles should be delivered from adverse criticism, since few are so sim pie as to suppose that MT, Hitler was going to take him into con- fdeRce. .--=---5 #-
 There has been much comment on the precarious position of Hol land and Belgium. Denmark has failed to receive a corresponding amount of popular notice. She was, nevertheless, the small coun try of northern Europe which was peculiarly on the hot spot. The least powerful of the coun- tries in the region closest, to Ger many in point of nautical miles, carrying on commerce with Eng land under an ante-War pact with the Fatherland, Denmark had ev- cry reason for apprehension. Ev- ents have demonstrated that there were good grounds for her fears. Denmark cannot be blamed for failing to put up a fight.
