TYD|NGS WOULD

PEACE DEMANDS.
international Course in
Future Would Depend
on Answers
(By United Pressl

Washington, Dec. 24-UP-Sen.
Willard E. Tydings. D., Md, urged
the Administrator today to try to
ascertain Great Britain's, Ger
many's and Italy's minimum de-
mands for a lust peace" before
charting this country's future inter
national course.
Tydings, an anti-New Dealer and
close friend of the former am
bassador to Great Britain, Joseph
P. Kennedy, suggested that answers
be sought to the following ques-
tons:
us 1t possible to secure a just
peace in Europe?
What precisel, are the condi-
tons upon which Great Britain on
the one hand and the Axis powers
on the other would agree to a just
peace?"
II President Roosevelt and Secre-
tary OF State Cordell Hull find that
peace is impossible, he said, then
we can proceed with will and IA
vim and more rightly project our
own country's course"
He said his reference to Just
peace" did not mean "a peace Of
appeasement" but must involve
the following conditions:
/. Restoration to Norway, Den
mark, Holland. Belgium and France
Of their political sovereignty and
independence. "A peace which
would do less than this is certain
ly impossible OF achievement" lie
said.
2. A formula, founded primarily
on the national origin of subjects.
for such countries ss Poland and
Czechoslovakia. He saw the pos
sibility OF a separate Polish state,
but with that part OF old Poland
which was predominantly inhabt-
ed by Germans given to Germany.
3. A means OF international Sc
curity to be achieved in some meas
ure through disarmament. with
out that, any peace would be short
lived" he said.
ut strikes me that upon the
answers to my questions must
largely depend rational, safe and
sane conduct of American world
policy" Tydings said. Il hope that
efforts to learn the positions of
Great Britain and the Axis powers
are now being made. but so far the
Congress has not been advised that
they are"
Meanwhile, the Administration
plan to speed more short-of-war aid
to Great Britain proceeded with
another conference scheduled FOR
today between officials Of the Brit
ish purchasing commission and the
U. S. Treasury.

PATIENCE OF GERMANS
TAXED TO UTMOST

Tokyo, Dec. Cup American
assistance to Great Britain has
taxed German patience to the ut
most and continuance of this aid
means danger of war between the
United States and Germany, Koh
Ishii, official spokesman for the
foreign office, said today.
Implying by indirection that con-
tinued American aid to Britain
might cause consultation by Japan,
Germany and Italy under their mil
itary alliance, Ishii said that he did
not believe the stage had yet been
reached where invocation of the
alliance pact was involved.
Ishiis statement on the taxing
OF German patience and the danger
Of war was:
I'VE can fully understand the
German attitude regarding Amer
lean assistance to Great Britain.
We know that Germany's patience
has been taxed TO the utmost. II
such American acts are persistent
