Sen. Claude Pepper, D., Fla, pre-
dicted today Germany will try to
obtain Dakar in West Africa either
by force or by collaboration with
the French and use it eventually
as a base for an attack against
South America.
Pepper made his prediction on

Roosevelt. He said his statement
reflected his own views.
He said he has not modified in
the slightest his conviction the
United States should seize Dakar
and other vantage points under a
policy of getting tough to defend
the western hemisphere against to-
talitarian aggression. He said the
U. S. action should begin immedi-
ately to prevent a bloody affair"
which would result should this
country be forced to attempt to dis
lodge Germany after it had moved
into such strategic bases.
