Never, never in our long his

great republic, now in much
travail and stress of soul, IL is
customary to use all the many
valid, solid arguments about
American interests and Ameri-

the destruction of Hitler and
his foul gang and even fouler
doctrines.
BUT NOT FOR PROFIT
But In the long run-believe

the United States will be die

lions Of profit and loss, but by
that cleaning fash of reFolve

Libya have sustained a vexatiou!
and damaging defeat adding:
1.-THE Germans advance d
sooner and in greater strength
than we or our generals eX-
pected.
1.-THE bulk of our armored
troops, which had played such a
decisive part in beating the
Italians, had to be refitted and
the single armored brigade which
had been judged sufficient to
hold the front till about the
middle of May was worsted and
its vehicles largely destroyed by
a somewhat stronger German
armOred force.
INFANTRY FELL BACK

SIMILAR MESSAGE

a similar message was given the
world by John Curtin. Australian
labor leader and member Of the
war council, who declared all
Australians are united in their
determination TO give their all in
a war which has been forced upon
us
The controversy arising last
week over the use of Australian
troops in the Balkan campaign
was deprecated by Curtin who
said such arguments gave great
comfort 10 the Axis and caused
some speculation in the United
States upon whether Australia was
pulling out of the war.
Hostile interests, led by
Colonel Lindbergh, have been
greatly encouraged, thus in
creasing President ROosevelts
difficulties" Curtin said. The
enemy Is making full use of this
controversy"

SEEK RUPTURE

iSh Prime Minister Winston
Churchill also charged that Ger
man propagandists were trying
to make bad blood between US
and the Australians
ut cannot be emphasized too
strongly" Fadden said. "that
Australia Is fighting this war as
one In the empire team. To Aus
traIians that means we shall
pull our full weight until final
victory.
There will he other battles In
which Australians navy, army
and air force seek to play a full
part alongside our brothers from
Britain and the sister dominions.
parliament Is meeting early
In May TO decide how best We
can make a still greater effort
than hitherto.
I'm this emphatic declaration
7 know I am speaking for the
Australian people and also for
all parliamentary parties. Such
statements are not needed but
German propagandists are un-
truthfulIy telling the German
and neutral peoples that trouble
has arisen between Britain and
Australia"

DETROITERs' VIEWS

The opinions follow:
Robert +. Higbee, 1857 Strath-
moor avenue. auto finance bust
ness:
II am so strongly in favor of
about aid to Britain that 1 be-
lieve we should send England
vessels to be used in her block
ade. As fast as our navy is in
creased, believe we should give
Britain our older ships and
should even requisition for this
purpose privately owned craft
now in use In vital trades.
ITO prevent prOfiteering we
should set a standardized price
per ton to pay for these vessels.
As far as possible these ships
should be manned by Canadian
or British sailors. but IL neces-
sary, give them crews of Ameri-
can volunteers. l agree that an
invasion of this country at this
time Is physically impossible.
but there are other types of In
vasion such as moral invasion.
To combat this our FBI should
be increased. / am proud of the
fact my 26-year-old ION just en-
listed In the army"
FOR STRONG DEFENSE
Frazier E. Walton. $50 East Eu
cid avenue, auto worker:
I'm all for a strong defense
for this country. but j can't see
giving everything to England ]
expect to be called soon in the
draft and I'll be glad to serve,
but i don't see why we should
weaken this country by helping
England too much. Furthermore,
/ don't believe the United States
could be invaded, even II Eng
land falls"
Walter E. Brooks. 1910 Eas
Fort street. chair Gamer:
by helping England we are
defending themselves. think
we should throw all our support
behind England, before Germany
gets any more territory. II we
are going to send arms to Brit
ain, think We should make
sure they get into British hands.
This may mean We would have
to convoy them. / don't believe
peace is possible at this time.
because don't think Hitler
would live up to any peace
terms"
BUYING TIME
DR.. George Lechler, 1876 Mont
Vista avenue, German-born scienc
professor and five years in tn
United States;
with our help I believe Brit
ain can win. BY aiding Britain
we are buying time for our own
armament. We are giving Britain
supplies. but in exchange We are
getting time to rush our defense.
II am certain Of this because
/ am certain Hitler Is bent on
world domination. Hitler wrote
this in Mein Kampf and II Is
common knowledge in Germany.
81 recall a painting In the city
hall of a Berlin suburb which
shows Hitler taking the globe
from the hand of a woman SYM
bolizing Victory. Don't think
Hitler Is going to leave the
United States alone! He has de-
signs on this country. but 1t Is
difficult now to say just how he
would push his program against
us-prObably through Canada or
South and Central America;
breaking our Pan American
unity. II England falls, Hitler
could make us a second or third
class nation.
