Allies Widen Occupation
In Area of Damascus

LONDON, June % P)-British
and Free French columns have oc-
cupied Bmeriq and KHAN fort in
the Merdjayoun sector of Syria, au-
thoritative sources here announced
today, and British troops operating
around captured Damascus have
completed occupation of Mezze.
Earlier dispatches said the Allied
columns were driving steadily ahead
on all fronts in Syria, which has
been given new importance by her
position on the southern flank of
the Soviet Russian German battle
front.
Reports here indicated the next
major British push would be toward
Beirut. capital of coastal Lebanon,
and the French said troops with
drawn from Damascus had been
moved into the lines before that old
city.
The French claimed recapture of
Abou Kemal, a desert outpost near
the Iraq border. They placed the
number of prisoners taken since the
campaign began at more than 1,500.

Text of WeLIes' Statement
HuIting Of Hitler Plan for Universal
Conquest Called Chief Issue for U. S.

The tert OF the statement is
sued today by Acting Secretary OF
State Sumner WelleS concerning
GermanyS attack on Russia fol-
lo1Us:.
If any further proof could con-
ceivably be required of the real pur-
poses and projects of the present
leaders of Germany for world domi-
nation, it is now furnished by Hit
ler's treacherous attack upon Soviet
Russia.
We see once more, beyond perad-
venture of doubt, with what intent
the present government of Germany
negotiates "non-aggression pacts."
To the leaders of the German Reich,
sworn engagements to refrain from
hostile acts against other countries
engagements regarded IN happier
and in a civilized world as con-
tracts to the faithful observance
of which the honor of nations them
selves was pledged-are but a SYM
boil of deceit and constitute a dire
warning on the part of Germany
of hostile and murderous intent.
To the present German government,
the very meaning of the word
honor" is unknown.
This government has often stated,
and in many of his public state
ments the President has declared,
that the United States maintains
that freedom to worship God as
their consciences dictate is the
great and fundamental right of all
peoples. This right has been de-
MED to their peoples by both the

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, June 23.-United States
Ambassador William Phillips today
delivered to the Italian government
a note in which Washington re-
jected the italian charges that
United States consular officials
whom Italy has demanded be with
drawn-had acted improperly.
In an attempt to obtain relief for
Americans in Italy whose bank ac-
counts are blocked, the Ambassador
also informed the Foreign Ministry
OF regulations under which Italians
may obtain money in the United
States
American consular officials are
planning to leave Italy within a
week in accordance with Italian
orders for their expulsion.
An authoritative source said Ital-
ian regulations foI the withdrawal
of funds of Americans in Italy had
not yet been fixed, but added that
the question was no longer on
reciprocal basis.
The matter has reached the stage
of sovereign DEGREES" in both coun-
tries, he said, and is no longer sub
ject TO elastic compromises.

life, or in the system of govern
ment, of the American people"
Mr.. Welles said that this Govern
ment was awaiting more detailed
and clearer information from Ameri-
can diplomatic representatives in
Europe before deciding whether TO
issue a proclamation under the
Neutrality Act formally recognizing
a state of war between Russia and
Germany.
Calls at White House.
Mr.. Welles went directly from
the White House TO the press con-
ference, at which he issued his
formal statement, which obviously
had been approved in detail by the
President. Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr..
Welles also had conferred by tele-
phone during the morning with Sec
retary of State Hull, who was leav-
ing today for what Mr.. Welles de-
scribed as a much-needed rest at
White Sulphur Springs, w. Va.
Germany's lightninglike invasion
of Soviet Russia, meanwhile, was
seen as producing an intensified
ton of the United States arms pro-
duction effort both for national de-
fense and for lease-lend aid to
I Britain.
While the extension of lease-lend
aid to include Russia was still a
moot question, some legislators on
Capitol Hill already were urging
that this country espouse the policy
voiced by winston Churchill yes
terday for Britain-"Any man or
state who fights against Nazidom
will have our aid"
What. position Japan would take
in the sharply altered world situa-
ton was one subject of consider
able interest, but Toxic was slow in
indicating its plans officially. Japan,
some diplomatic sources believed,
finds herself in the unhappy role
of deciding who is the aggressor in
the latest spread of the war.
Pact Pledges Neutrality.
AS a member of the Axis, Japan
is bound to give military support to
Italy or Germany in the event of
aggression" against them, it was
pointed out, and Germany claims
her invasion of Russia was in self
defense. On the other hand, the
Russo-Japanese neutrality" pact of
April, l941, stipulates that if one
signatory becomes the object of
attack" the other will maintain
neutrality-and Russia contends
that the Soviet is the victim of an
unjustified invasion.
On the question of leaSe-lend aid
to the Soviet, Senator Pepper,
Democrat, of Florida, was all for it.
An advocate of affirmative" ac-
ton against the Axis. Senator Pep
per asked in statement: Who will
be so short-sighted or prejudiced

Nazi and the Soviet governments.
To the people of the United States
this and other principles and doc
trineS of CommuniStic dictatorship
are as intolerable, and as alien to
ciples and doctrines of Nazi dicta-
torship. Neither kind of imposed
overlordship can have, or will have,
any support or any sway in the
mode of life, or in the system of
government, of the American people
But the immediate issue that pre-
sents itself to the people of the
United States is whether the plan
for universal conquest, for the cruel
and brutal enSlavement of all peo-
Piles, and for the ultimate destruc-
ton of the remaining free democ-
racies, which Hitler is now desper-
ately trying to carry out. is to be sue
cessfully halted and defeated
That is the present issue which
faces a realistic America. 1t is the
issue at this moment which most
directly involves our own national
defense and the security of the New
World in which We live.
In the opinion of this Govern
ment, consequently, any defense
against Hitlerism, any rallying' of
the forces opposing Hitlerism, from
whatever source these forces may
spring, will hasten the eventual
downfall of the present German
leaders, and will therefore rebound
to the benefit of our own defense
and security.
Hitler's armies are today the chief
! dangers of the Americas.

The Federal Bureau of Tnvestiga-

His equipment consists of printing

Transfers Forbidden.
Some legislators thought it would
be difficult to list Russia as one OF
the "embattled democracies" en-
titled to lease-lend aid, and noted
that President Roosevelt has spoken
of Communism and Nazism as if
they were synonymous evils.
The Lease-Lend Act forbids Brit
ain from transferring any material
received from the United States To
another nation without the express
consent of this Government, hence
one channel for American aid to the
Soviet Union is legally closed.
No matter which way the tide of
invasion goes, number of officials
here saw arguments for accelerating
defense production and arms deliv-
cry to Britain.
A complete. smashing victory for
the Nazis would give Hitler resources
for long war if necessary, it would
leave him free to concentrate on
subjugating the British Isles, and
it might even mean that the swas-
tika would be planted in Siberia
across the Bering Strait from
Alaska. ,, .l -.,-sr
Should Russia be able to resist
successfully-so these sources rea-
soned-Germany- would be fighting
on two fronts, a predicament Hitler
sought to avoid, and the more and
faster the aid to Britain, the quicker
the Nazi decline. They argued that
then Germany would be unable to
help Italy, as in the past, and with
sufficient supplies Gen. Wavell could
readily change the whole Mediter-
ranean picture.
