BERLIN, Jan. German often
sives run off with regularity of a
clock because preceding them have
been intervals of most careful
preparation, Propaganda Minister
Paul Joseph Goebbels told foreign
correspondents today.
He cautioned correspondents,
therefore, not to regard the pres
ent apparent lull in operations as
meaning that Germany does not
know what to do next.
THE present pause is creative
and is only apparent" he said.
German leadership knows ex-
actly what it wants and how TO do
it and it is a fatal mistake not to
realize this Goebbels declared.
He reminded his hearers that
Germany's enemies scoffed at the
lull in operations during the win
ter of 1939-194o.
Then on May 10 the great often
sive began in the west which, in the
shortest time imaginable, brought

U. 5. Rejects Request
OF French 10 Discuss
Increase in Refugees
Hull Doubts Whether
Negotiations Could Serve
ANY Useful Purpose

A French request for negotiations
on increasing Western Hemisphere
immigration of German Jewish
refugees from France has been
turned down by this Government,
the State Department disclosed to-
day.
The department made public
note by Secretary Hull to CASTOR
Henry Haye, French Ambassador
here, informing him that, while the
United States is disposed to assist
in solving the refugee problem" it
does not believe that ANY useful
purpose could be served by further
international discussions at this
time
present world conditions operate
to cause governments in many in
stances to forego the free exercise
of their authority, and the essen
tial requirements for constructive
solution of the fundamental prob
lens of migration and resettlement
do not prevail" the Secretary's note
explained
Refugees Being Admitted Now.
He pointed out that refugees now
are being received by the United
States and other American govern
ments virtually to the full extent of
their immigration laws and prac-
tices, and are being admitted in in
creasing numbers to settlement
established in the Dominican Re-
public under auspices of an inter-
governmental committee
The note also remarked pointedly
that many refugees given visas have
not been able to obtain the required
exit permits to leave France. 1t Is
understood the French government
has denied permits to persons who
might be wanted by the German
secret police.
Mr.. Hulls note replied to a re-
quest from the French Ambassador
that the United States and France
join in studying methods of organ
izing immigration to this hemisphere
of foreign nationals now in French
territory, particularly Jews, and
that the United States attempt to
enlist the support of other Ameri-
can governments for the project.
Increase Not Permitted Now.
The Secretary emphasized that the
basic principles underlying Amer
lean policy on refugee immigration
are that no distinction shall be
made on grounds of race, nationality
or religion.
immigration laws "do not permit
of any further liberalization" at this
time, the Secretary added. He ex-
pressed confidence that the time
will come when such conditions Of
order and peace will prevail IN the
world as will warrant humane and
orderly approach to the migration
problem by the governments COL

mutual respect"

yesterday setting up the framework
of the "two-ocean navy" by re-
organizing the United States Fleet
for Independent action in either the
Atlantic or Pacific.
Secretary Stimson refused to dis
close at his press conference the
combined strength now and as
planned in the future for the new
Caribbean defense command.

By the Associated Press.

LONDON. Jan. 9-Prime Minister
Churchill pinned Britain's hope of
victory On the United States in a
formal benediction today to the new
British Ambassador designate to
Washington, Lord Halifax.
The former Foreign Secretary's S
mission, Mr.. Churchill said at a

mentous as any that the monarchy
has intrusted to an Englishman in
the lifetime of the oldest of us here
Mr.. Churchill declared it Britain S
'fervent hope" that the mission
may prosper"
Lord Halifax himself echoed part
of the Prime Minister'S sentiments
when he said:
we are encouraged by the knowl-
edge that will to resist this German
attempt to secure world domination
is as strong on the other side of the
Atlantic as it is here and we do not
doubt that achievement of our pur-
pose is within the power of the Eng
lish-speaking peoples"
World Civilization at Stake.
The Prime Minister asserted it
was no exaggeration to say that
"the whole future of the world
and civilization founded on Chris
tian ethics" depended on relations
between Britain and the United
States.
He said the identity of purpose
and persistence of resolve prevail
ing throughout the English-speak-
ing world would, more than any
other fact, determine the way of

officials disclosed today a group Of
American investment trusts was ne
gotiating for the purchase OF $780,
100000 worth of American industrial
securities from Great Britain.
Britain, they said, wanted to speed
up the liquidation of these securities,
taken over from individual British
investors, to facilitate cash pay
ments on current war orders in the
United States.
The officials said they understood
that a trade association representing
all the leading investment trusts
was sponsoring the plan. Although
it is still in a preliminary stage, they
said they believed syndicate
headed by Tri-Continental Corp.
might be set up to handle the deal,
which would be one of the largest
single securities transactions, out
side of Government financing, in the
history of American business.
The British acquired about S700,-
100000 of readily marketable Amer
ican securities, from private invest
ors, and has been selling some of
them in small lots. Total British
investments in the United States
exceed $4,000, 100000, but the deal
reported today involved only easily
salahle securities such as the stocks
of leading American industrial cor
porations.
The investment ttrusts-companies
with large sums available for invest
ment in securities-were said to
have approached both the Treasury
and Securities and Exchange Com
mission on the plan, and received
some encouragement.
If the deal was consummated, 1t
was understood, the investment
trusts would handle the securities
as they do similar securities bought
in American markets-hold them
until they can be disposed of at a
profit.
Apparently no Government au-
thorization was necessary for the
deal, but Congress recently gave the
Securities Commission regulatory
powers over investment trusts and
the business group apparently want
ed to make sure the Government
would not oppose the transaction.
The Treasury was consulted on tax
problems in the deal.

fraud counts on which he was con-
victed December 81. The terms are

presided during the eight weeks of

for mercy by Hopsons lawyer. Fred

Hopson stood. silent. beside his
lawyer during the pleading, his
hands clasped behind his back. He
dropped them to the side as the
court pronounced sentence. He
gazed steadily at the judge, his face
expreSsionless.

aiding Hopson in his kalidescopic
fiscal manipulations for a number
of years, were acquitted Hopson
was acquitted on a single count of
conspiracy.
No Fine Suggested.
Fulton recommended the maxi
mum sentence of five years on one
count. but cid not suggest fine in
addition, saying the Government
did not believe Hopson had sufficient
assets to pay the just claims in this
action and those arising from
United States tax claims.
Hopson, SO, arrived at the Federal
Courthouse about 80 minutes before

by a male nurse who has been in
constant attendance during the
trial, and a clerk from Mr.. IRON

travelling bags.
