SENATOR CONNALLY.

Those events are part of the his
tory of our times. They have not
been lifted from the pages of some
thrilling volume of fiction. They
are not from the chapter Of some
military and naval writer, predicting
what might transpire in some future
war. They are not the creation of
some poetic mind, soaring on the
wings of fancy. They are facts.
They are realities. They have hap
pened under our own eyes.
If those things have happened to
weaker countries, will they not hap
pen to any other nation, except for
the armed might of other nations to
resist the waves of aggression and
conquest. Does any one doubt that
England, If conquered, will be sub
jected to an even more tragic fate
than that of nations already con-
quered.
If England should fall and her
navy should be captured, the legions
and the navies and the swarming
vultures of the air, under the direc-
ton of Hitler and Mussolini would,
no doubt, as soon as they should
feel strong enough, attack the
Western world to incorporate us into
the new world order and to imprison
our institutions and economy in the
ancient bed of Procrustes-making
our pattern, neither longer nor
shorter than the pattern which
their tyranny might prescribe.
Why will not their military de-
sires reach out to the Western
world? They reached and encom-
passed most of Europe. In the
Western Hemisphere lie rich lands
and great wealth. Here is the citadel
of free government which is the
deadly enemy of their governmental
conceptions. They have done these
things in Europe. Why will they
not do them in the Western world?

quest.
These things face America today.
They face the whole Western Hem
isphere today. They face the whole
civilized world today. The United
States must let the world know, and
must let Hitler and Mussolini and
all the Axis alliance OF greed and
cruelty and military and naval
power, all the Axis compact of ag-
gression and mastery, know just
where America stands and just what
America purposes to do.
President Roosevelt, In a notable
and epoch-making speech from the
White House on May 27, gave utter
ance to the national policy of the
United States. The President, under
our Constitution, Is our leader In
the field of foreign relations. In
times of stress and peril we must
have determined leadership. 1t
must be definite. 1t must be clear
in its objectives. 1t must be firm
and 1t must have behind 1t the
united support of mighty people.
The President reafirmed Amer
icas traditional policy of freedom
of the seas-the freedom of our peo-
pie to send our ships out upon the
seas in accordance with the sane
ton of civilized nations through the
centuries. To surrender the free
dom of the seas the United States
would be imprisoned within its own
boundaries. economically and politi-
cally. Hitler and Mussolini cannot
dominate the world unless they first
master the seas. England now
bravely stands in their way. If
Great Britain should be conquered
we alone shall be face to face with
menacing challenge.
The United States since Yorktown
has stood for freedom of the seas.

Forum Speaker Sees
U. S. Facing Challenge
Alone if England Falls

Senator Connally, member of the
Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee, discussed ne likelihood Of an
attack on the Western Hemisphere
IN an address last night in the Ma
tional Radio Forum, arranged by
The Star.
The speech was broadcast over a
national hookup of the National
Broadcasting Co. and was heard
locally over Station WMAL.
The text of the address follows:
The civilized world is tonight liv-
ing under the Damocles sword of
armed might. Suspended by single
thread above the liberties of civilized
men are masSed armies equipped for
modern wars-argoSies OF the air
with multiplied thousands of ar
naored aircraft. with destruction and
death in their touch, swarms OF sub
marines lurking In the dark with
searching the sea lanes to assassi-
nate human beings and to destroy
vessels, without warning and with
merciless and bloody purpose. Civil
lied nations are challenged either to
submit to a single master who di-
rects these engines Of death and de-
struction or to suffer being overrun,
conquered, subjugated and enslaved.
These are not idle statements. These
are not distempered dreams. These
are not wild flights of imagination.
Look at Europe since the war began
in 1899.
Austria was commanded to join
the Reich. Her government refused.
Hitler's legions sWarmed over her
and overwhelmed her. She was
locked in the iron manacles of sub
mission. Czecho-Slovakia was chal-
lenged. She refused. The thunder
bolts Of armed might subdued her
before she could strike. Poland,
upon her denial of demands OF the
dictator, was left in smoking ruins.
In devastated and wrecked cities,
with soldiers foot upon her neck.
Neutral, peaceful, inoffensive Nor
way, Denmark, Holland, Belgium,
whose only crime was to possess
lands which the cupidity of Hitler
desired and liberties which he want
ed to destroy, without warning, were
overrun, conquered, subjugated and
enslaved Bulgaria and Rumania,
first penetrated and saturated with
the deadly virus of Nazi influence
and under the threat of military
force, succumbed to Nazi power Yu-
goslavia was harried and machine
gunned and bombed and beaten into
abiect submission. Greece, invaded
by Mussolini in campaign in which
italian armies with vastly superior
numbers were defeated and driven
In flight before the gallant Greeks,
was at last bombed and battered by
Nazi legions until the classic land
where Homer sang and DemostheneS
thundered against the tyranny of
Philip. and where Greek poets,
dramatists and artists and sculptors
gave to all the centuries the imper-
;shable gifts of their genius and cul-
ture, now lies broken and shattered.
In ruins with the heavy heels of Nazi
conquerors upon her ancient lib
critics.
