.F|ays Measure
In 4th Speech
In Ten Years
Gillette and Brooks
Hit Proposal as Step
Toward Conflict
Earlier Story on Page A-1.)
By j. A, OLEARY.

Senator Bulow Democrat, of
South Dakota, dropped hint in the
Senate late today that he thought
fllibuster against the lease-lend
bill might help keep this country
out of war.
Observers did not take it, however,
as a threat to prolong discussion,
since leaders of the opposition have
indicated they expect general debate
will be completed by the middle of
next week
Taking the floor after two other
pponents-Senators Gillette, Demo-
crat, of Iowa and Brooks. Republi-
can, of Illinois-had pictured the bill
as step toward war, Senator BuloW
said:
Il do not uphold a filibuster, but
7 am for complete discussion and
ample consideration. no matter how
long it takes. There isn't any pres
ent emergency in this country that
requires the immediate passage of
this bill There isn't any present
emergency in this country but what
can be handled without the passage
of this legislation. AT the present
time England is receiving most of
the war supplies that we are now
manufacturing. and I cannot see
how the President could furnish
more aid to Britain than he is now
furnishing.
Sees U. S. Bankruptcy Averted.
Il am not sure but what So
called Senate flibuster in continuing
the debate upon this bill until Eu-
rope settles its own war would be
very beneficial to the people of the
United States. 1t might keep us
from getting into that war and it
would keep the Nation out of bank
ruptcy.'
Senator Bulow contended that If
England would assure the German
people that its war aim is only
against Hitler with no thought of
destroying the German people, "in
my opinion it would not be long
until the German people them
selves would take care of Herr
Hitler
The South Dakotan's speech, his
fourth in 10 years, was clothed IN
droll witticism. as in the following
reference to the President:
Il regard Mr.. Roosevelt as a great
American. I regard him as the
foremost citizen of the United
States. I am just selfish enough to
want to keep him as our foremost
citizen of the United States and do
not desire to have him become the
foremost citizen of the world"
END of Hitler in Sight"
At another point, he declared. 'if
I were as certain of a place in
heaven as I am that Herr Hitler
will never invade or attempt to in
wade the United States, would feel
mighty safe"
Let us remember that no dictator
many have tried, and no dictator
has ever conquered a people and
kept them enSlaved long. The end
of Hitler is in sight"
Senator BuloW declared that "if
we pass this lease-lend bill, and the
President carries out his announced
intention-makes this the greatest
war arsenal in the world and finan-
ces the wars in Asia and Europe
when peace comes we will be a
bankrupt na ton and God only knows

Undersecretary of State Welles
said today that consideration was
being given to Greece's renewed re-
quest for material aid. He indicated
some action might be taken soon.
He recalled Greece had made a
plea soon after the outbreak of hos
tilities with Italy and had been
promised that the United States
would do all possible to meet it.
Since then, he said the question
had arisen several times in con-
versations he had held with the
Greek Minister and that Govern
ment officials we're still seeking to
determine just what supplies might
be furnished.
The request for help-particularly
airplanes-was made by Greek Off
cials directly to the American Le-
cation in Athens. The Legation for
warded it direct to the State De-
partment.

Highway is good news for Alas ka. Behind the Presidents re- quest no doubt is the urgent re commendation of military author ities. A highway to give over land road communication be- tween Anchorage and Fairbanks bases is a military necessity of the first order.
 The projected highway will have great uses in peace as vel as in defense preparation. It will open new mineral areas, will give the farmlands of Matanus- ka and the Kenai Peninsula an enlarged marketing area and will give Alaska a new route from tideWater to the Interior.
 Whether the 145-mile road can be built for $1,000000 is quzs- tionable but if it is begun it will be completed, and at a cost which will be but a drop in the national defense bucket.
 The Territorial Legislature has b fore it a memorial asking for this very highway. All Alaskans recognize its merit. It is one of the links which Territorial En- gineer William A. Hesse recom- mends for an Alaska trunk high way system. It has be n recom- mended by the Alaska Road Com mission, whose Assistant Chief Engineer Hawley Stirling walked over the route last summer on a r connaissance trip.
 The lasting benefits to Alaska of such road development are al but incalculable

 But couple of news items serve 10 jolt our memories on the the Soviet form of tyranny. In the New York Times writer has pieced together dozens of re- ports that have evaded the Rus sian censor and which indicate that half million Poles were subjected to even worse eXper- fences in Siberia after part of their country came under the be n.gn' control of Stalin.
