that British sea power is not vital
to American defense, Senator Lucas
put this question:
IF this is so why all this sound
and fury about q two-ocean Navy
which. when completed in 1916, will
be the largest of any in history?
Why are we so anxious about adding
thousands upon thousands of air.
planes, tanks and all other weapons
of modern warfare to our present
strength"
Actions speak louder than words, :"
Senator Lucas continued, for the
record discloses that no Senator
in the Seventy sixth Congress voted
against the appropriations necessary
to arm America to the teeth on
land, on sea and in the air.
There can be only one answer to
this extraordinary procedure brought
about by unanimity of thought
In this Senate chamber. And, Mr..
President, 1t does not lie in the fact
that we have any fear of the English
Navy attacking the shores or out
posts of America. The only logical
conclusion to reach is that we, here
in the greatest of all legislative halls,
fear that some day England might
lose that fleet through destruction
or surrender before we can COM
plete our two-ocean Navy in 1916.
We fear q Hitler victory"
Senator Lucas said If he had felt
this country was safe regardless of
the outcome of Europe's war he
would not have voted for a single
dollar above the normal military
and naval budgets.
Tn my opinion, these appropria-
tions of billions by an unanimous
Senate is clinching proof that every
man on this Senate floor fears that
the totalitarian germs somehow,
some way, somewhere, some place,
may spread their deadly poison into
the western Hemisphere"
Some citizens honestly fear the
delegation of this power to Presi-
dent Roosevelt, Senator Lucas said,
but others, with q demagogic sneer,
use it as springboard to make the
headlines and create panic and fear
among the American people"
Senator Lucas arranged to take
the floor this afternoon after Sem
ator Wheeler completes the speech
which provoked such stormy debate
yesterday. In his prepared text
Senator Lucas warned:
"If we abandon Great Britain to
its fate, what real chance have
we to escape being dragged into .
war with both Hitler and Japan
lighting on two fronts, vastly OUT
numbered, laboring under awful
handicaps? There are only two
great powers on earth today that are
peace e-minded-the United States
and Great Britain. BY supporting
Great Britain with tools-not men
we can virtually compel the war
mongers 70 keep the peace"

Bulgaria's adherence to the axis
pact would be without great prac-
tical Importance" because she
already had lined up with Germany.
One source said Bulgarias affilia-
ton with the axis would be merely
formal indication of the attitude
of subservience already shown and
yet another indication of the extent
of the acquiesenca of the Bulgarian
government in German measures
designed to secure control of Bull
garia ct the expense of Bulgarian
independence"
ut is now quite evident" he
added, that the Bulgarian govern
ment must have decided long ago
to adopt this attitude, to the regret
Of very great number of its own
people and to friends outside Ger
many"
This source said the British were
greatly pleased at the Turkish Brit
ish agreement, but added that the
