Duff-Cooper Urges
War Against Whole
German People
Nation Is Behind Hitler,
Shares in His Crimes,
British Are Told
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, April % (via radio).-
War to the death against the whole
German people and not merely
against the Nazi regime was urged
today by Alfred Duff Cooper, former
First Lord of the British Admiralty
Mr.. Duff-Cooper, speaking before
the Royal Society of st. George in
place of Winston Churchill, First
Lord of the Admiralty, said German
attacks upon Austria, Czecho- -Slova-
kia, Poland. Denmark and Norway
were crimes of the whole people.
Reviewing acts of the German
military in the last few years, Mr.
Duff Cooper spoke of them as a
series of crimes" which made a
terror of Europe. and declared they
were not the crimes of one man or
a group of criminals but the crimes
of whole people"
Mr.. Duff Cooper said it was wish
full thinking to believe we can drive
wedge between the German gov
ernment and the German people
I'VE must accept no soft words
or specious promises as we did when
they came whining and groveling to
Versailles" he said, but must defeat
the German people in battle"
Takes Hitler at Word.
Mr.. Duff-Cooper declared that
Germany has assumed many ugly
shapes in her past, but never has
the face of Germany assumed so viii
famous and vile an aspect as under
leadership of this little gang OF
blood-stained, money-making mur-
derers."
Hitler says the entire German
people is behind him." Mr.. Duff
Cooper said. II, for one, am prepared
to take him at his word"
The audience cheered when Mr.
Duff Cooper said that Britain had
command of the sea to an even
greater extent now than she had
eight months ago and that no ma
ton with command of the sea ever
had been defeated in a great war.
How long it will take to achieve
victory" he said, mo man can say
but one thing We do know and that
is that victory is certain in the end

Tientsin Americans
Hard Hit by Blockade,
u. 5. Tells Japan
Crews Representations
In Toxic Bring Promise
Of Immediate Inquiry
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
TOXIC, April 23.-United States
Ambassador Joseph c. Grew today
made representations to Masayuh
Tani, Japanese vice minister Of
foreign affairs, charging that Ameri-
cans at Tientsin were suffering
hardships as a result of tightening
of the japanese blockade on the
British and French concessions.
It was understood that Tani had
promised to investigate Immediately
and attempt to remedy the difficulty.
A usually reliable source said that
the situation had recently been
growing steadily worse.
The concessions at Tientsin, with
foreign populations of about $500,
including military forces, and about
10000 Chinese, have been hemmed
in by Japanese troops and barri-
cades, with varying degrees of re-.
striction on travel and supplies,
since last June.
The United States maintains q
detachment of marines at Tientsin.
Recently there have been indica-
tions that the blockade soon would
be lifted.
