 Strike, Declares Secretary Ickes
BY LYLE .. WILSON

Washington June 27-(UP)-The United States.SoViet Union eollab- oration against Germany Is limited to questions deriving from der- fnanys attack on Russia, 1t was dls. closed officially today.
 This explanation coincided with e cabinet proposal that the United States strike" now to take advan- tage of dermany'S preoccupation in the East, Secretary of Interior Har- old l.. Ickes, In effect, told c Hart ford, Conn, audience last night that the United States should enter the war now.
 Sen. 0erald P. Nye, R., N. D., res vived speculation about Rudolf Hess, the Nazl party leader who flew to Scotland, by suggesting that he had sought an agreement with Great Britain for a joint Anglo-Q German sortie against Russia.
 "There is something significant in tho absence of bombing by Ger many on Britain" Nye said. "I'm wondering If Rudolf Hess didn't car " 6 message from Hitler saying: 
 Let us put all our strength against Russia, and then we'll be through It's just a guess, but all anyone can do now Is guess"
 Called Hitler "StoOge"
 Ickes denounced Charles A. Lind- bergh as an Adolf Hitler "stooge," and likened him to "Quisling." He said that the battle of Britain and the battle of the Atlantic "are in very truth the bale for America"
 "The American people," he said, "must-not tomorrow, but now. make their supreme choice. The time for action-lnceasi relent- less action--is upon us. We have been living too long on borrowed time. We must decide now whether we are willing to buy @ craven's truce as Lindbergh urges us, or work, sacrifice. fight and die, If need be, for liberty.

 A dispatch from Sweden, presuln- ably influenced by NaZi propaganda, said that the newspaper Aftonbladet reported rumors of a possible Soviet government move from Moscow to Sverdlovsk in the Ural Mountains, and that thousands of persons had been arrested in "big antl-Soviet@ plot in Moscow.

member of the legislature of the brief presented by the commissions attorneys. While do not know that the Maritime Commission will act upon the recommendation it's attorneys it interesting to note that they sustain the legislatures contention that the freight increase of last spring unjustfed.
 Conclusion
 have noted that my predecessors in their messages urged the legislature refrain from sectonasm and
 think be said at this time that there is much in prospect for each section of Alaska if live to portuntie that division and part of the territory need feel seriously concerned about its share of the eral welfare The program which hope you will fit adopt will be of such reaching benefit to all Alaska that will have little time for keeping books which section gets the most would like to urge. aso that view of the importance of problems sderaon them be begun promptly and be not deferred the latter days of the session. Sixty days too many for mature consideration of the many matters before you.
 Finally at this time of crisis in world affairs when system by consent of the governed is cha enged within and without before in its his tory all of public servants to feel keeny than responsibility to make democratic system work and to demonstrate by actions faith that whatever may be it's faults it is still the best system yet devised by
