Ways to combat pressure groups which are allegedly urging the United States Congress to transfer 90 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 ct 8 o'clock.
 It takes 1S months to build Q single bomber and leaders of the or ganization feel that if the flying fortresses are transferred to Eng land it would greatly weaken our own national defense.
 The organization will also be ask ed to adopt resolution demanding that President Roosevelt and the members of the Congress take no 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 statewide rad 10 broadcasting campaign designed to spread Americanism.
 The meeting on Friday will be open regardless of age, sex, religion, or race.

 Membership is open to every American, except those who are af- filiated with Communistic, Fascist, or Nazist organizations.

 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 ! GxAOdy CVCAlI16 D ulCCuA1A6 " WAASA1 all interested persons are requested to attend.
 Leaders of the organization point ed out today that it is far more im- 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 a war.
