Elliott Roosevelt
Urges Protection
Against Mexico
Poisonous Hatred Has
Arisen Against U. S.,
Presidents S Son Says
BY the Associated Press.

ATHENS. Tex, June Elliott
Roosevelt said yesterday if Mexico
fails to expel "subversive groups
working counter to the best in
terests of the American people we
must make sure that adequate pro-
lection is created along the entire
length Of the Mexican border"
The Presidents son, a radio ex-
ecutive, spoke at an old fiddlers'
contest.
Asserting that "a poisonous hatred
has been instilled in the minds of
the Mexican people against the
United States" he recited what he
said were facts which point to a de-
sire on the part of our neighbor to
the south to place at the disposal of
interests antagonistic to the free
dom OF the United States an avenue
OF approach for an attack upon u.s."
These facts" he detailed as
huge numbers of so-called fifth
columnists" permitted in Mexico,
expressions from Mexican leaders
scorning close cooperation with the
United States and many thou
sands" OF foreigners with huge sup
plies of armaments at their dis
posal"
"The time has come" he con-
tinued, for us to recognize the DO
tential dangers inherent in the Sit
uation, should Mexico align herself
with foreign nations antagonistic
to our interests.
"The time has come for the peo-
pie OF Texas to educate the citizens
OF other States that We take ade-
quate measures to make sure that
Mexico shall remain a friendly ma
ton and that she does not pay mere
lip service to that friendship =.
If Mexico should be scornful of
our legitimate request Ito expel sub
versive groups) then we, the people
OF Texas, must call upon citizens of
the rest Of the States to make sure
that adequate protection is created
along the entire length Of the Mex
lean border and well back into the
interior to guard the resources of
Texas.
And let us not stop at this point.
but let us wholeheartedly join
IN demanding that an adequate
Navy and Army be created to de-
fend our liberties against any ag-
gressor."

Labor Board Speeds Up
Bargaining Certification

The Labor Board disclosed yester-
day thatsit had 16upted d1H-st1urt.cut
through, procedural red tape to re-
duce the time ordinarily consumed
In determining and certifying en-
ployes' collective bargaining agencies.
The new technique, the board said,
may be used in cases where en-
ployers and employees want formal
board certiflcation of a bargaining
representative and are able to agree
on all the essential details leading up
to certification, such as the size of
the bargaining unit, eligibility of
employees to vote and the form of
the ballot.
Ordinarily, the board and its field
representative handle these details
through numerous procedural steps
which have taken an average of
l20 days to cover.
Under the new procedure. en-
ployers and employees can waive
hearings and other formalities. The
board estimated this would cut the
time OF handling such cases more
than so per cent.

less, the Germans said.
Outside of these areas the only
territory remaining in Allied hands
on the northern front was a narrow
30-mile stretch of Channel coast
in the vicinity of Dunkerque where
an unknown number of French and
British were attempting to board
transports under heavy fire.
The Germans said the embarka-
ton operations were being carried
out at terrific cost, and that the
fleeing Allied troops had abandoned
great Quantities of war materials.
Believe Italy Near War.
Belief that Italy is about to enter
the conflict on the side of her axis
partner was heightened by the dis
closure that Dino Alfieri, new Italian
Ambassador to Berlin, had visited
Hitler yesterday at his secret west
ern front headquarters. Alferi was
accompanied by the German Foreign
Minister, Joachim Won Ribbentrop.
Speculation concerning the mean
ing of the visit was rife, and tele-
phone wires hummed during the
night as Eurpean capitals sought
to run to ground a flood of rumors
concerning Italy's intentions.
Official quarters in Berlin were
silent, beyond expressing complete
confidence" in Italian policy. It was
generally believed, however, that
Italian participation in the war
had been brought close to actuality
by recent NaZi successes.
Informed circles were rather eva
sive on the prospects of Italy's entry
into the war. They said that, while
Italy's position long has been de-
termined, it is up to Premier Mus
solini to choose the right moment.
They pointed to the fact that
Fascist cabinet meeting is scheduled
for next Tuesday.
1t was estimated that Italy could
throw at least 10000 troops into
the fray, backed by q powerful air
armada second only to Germanys
great air force.
German sources have estimated
that France has less than 5000, 900
men to defend three long fronts.
These include the northern front
of approximately 800 miles, extend
ing from Abbeville on the Channel
along the Somme, Oise, Aisne and
Meuse Rivers to. the Rhine; the
100-mile Rhine front and the italian
border, approximately 2ao miles long.

Propaganda Wave Seen
In j. ). if Allies Lose
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, June L.
Vera Micheles Dean, research direc-
tor of the Foreign Policy Association
OF New York, told the 9th National
Conference of Social Work last night
that If the Allies are defeated in
Europe, America may brace itself for
propaganda wave.
In an address prepared for deliv-
cry before general conference ses-
sion, Mrs. Dean said the immediate
impact on this hemisphere of a
German victory would be invasion
OF propaganda against American
institutions" rather than any mill
tary attack.
"AS France and Britain and Eu-
ropes neutrals have learned to their
disaster she said, propaganda
working on dissatisfied, weary and
disillusioned people, can circumvent
even outwardly effective military
preparations"
Mrs. Dean cautioned her audience
against "indulging in a defeatism
which can only rebound to Ger
many's benefit"

smashing victory in Flanders, Ger
many marshalled her forces today
for another trip hammer blow at the
Allies amid increasing rumors that
Italy is about to enter the war on
her side.
Everywhere the belief was appar-
ent that the blow, when it falls,
would be aimed at the heart of
France, with the armies of Adolf
Hitler striking from the north and
the legions Of Premier Mussolini
from the south in a tremendous
pincer movement.
Britain, it was believed, would be
harassed with sporadic aerial raids
and long-range artillery fire until
France is cleaned up and the
Fuehrer is ready to turn west across
the Channel.
Most Germans, jubilant over the
speed with which the conquest of
Holland and Belgium has been ac-
complished, appeared to feel that
France is already doomed.
German military men said that
the flower of Frances army has
been wiped out in the Flanders
pockets and that the second line
troops upon which she must now
depend will be inadequate to stand
of the mighty Nazi war machine
especially if Italy attacks her from
the south.
On the other hand, Informed
sources declared, Germany has en-
ployed only a third of her first line
strength-perhaps 1,500, 900 men-in
her lightning dash through the low
lands and Northern France. Vast
numbers of fresh troops still are
awaiting the order to strike.
Furthermore, they pointed out,
Germany has absorbed some of Eu-
ropes richest industrial areas
through the fighting of the last few
weeks, adding to her own resources
and seriously weakening those of
France.
The authoritative commentary,
Dtenst Aus Deutschland, said that
one of the most important results of
the recent German successes was to
deprive France of much Dutch.

access to barely 10000, 900 tons an

clared that France has lost her

mated that France had been de-
