BY KINSBURY SMITH
Init News service star Correspondent

WASHINGTON. -Iune 23-The
United States today denounced
Germany's invasion of Russia. and
indicated that il will consider any
request the Soviet government
might make for American aid
under the leaSe-lend act.
In a formal statement issued
after consultation with President
Roosevelt. Acting Secretary Of
State Sumner Wetles declared
that "the immediate issue that
presents itself TO the people Of
the United States is whether the
principle of universal conquest,
and the cool and brutal enslave-
ment OF all peoples for the
ultimate destruction of the re-
naming free democracies, which
Hitler now desperately tries 10
carry out, is 10 be successfully
Halted and defeated"

at this moment which most d.
rectly involves our own national
defense and the security of the

I'm the opinion OF this gov
eminent, consequently. any de-
Tense against Hitierism, any
rallying of forces opposing Hit
Ierisn, from whatever sources
these forces may spring, will
hasten the eventual downfall of
the present German leaders and
will, therefore, rebound To the
benefit Of our own defense and
security.
"HitIer's armies are today the
chief danger 81 the Americas"
The governments formal state
ment did not promise lease-lend

Up TO PRESIDENT
But Welles. in response TO ques-
tons as TO whether aid would be
forthcoming. said that was a ques-
ton for President Roosevelt to
determine and al the present time
no official communication has been
received by this government from
Soviet Russia concerning the ques-
ton Of American assistance.
Until and unless such a request
is made, the question remains
hypothetical Welles added.
He said that in his conversation
with the President this morning.
Mr. Roosevelt suggested that he.

IN THE
NEWS

THE war between Germany
L and Russia has obviously
been developing for a long
time.
In the first place, 1t Is the
one natural conflict i'm the
whole European situation.
Germany drea d s Russia
and the possibility of an
.Asiatic invasion of Europe
led by Russia.
Hitler has always opposed
communism.
In fact, both fascism and
1aziism sprang up as political
parties to overcome commu-
nistic anarchy.
Opposition to communism
was the link that united Italy
and Germany in spite of their
former antagOnisms.
Germany anticipated war
with Russia.
Hitler built his armies for
two reasons.
First, to insure Germany
against aggression from the
west.
Second, 10 create a for
midabIe force for the success
full invasion of the Ukraine,
Russia's most valuable and
useful province.
GERMANY has sufficient
" reason for invading Rus
sia and appropriating the
Ukraine.
One reason was that the
black soil belt of the Ukraine
II of immense richness and
fertility.
The Ukraine is the granary
OF Russia.
The acquisition Of that
valuable province would al
most insure Europe against
Russian invasion.
The separation Of the
Ukraine from Russia would
greatly diminish Russian re-
serve food supplies, and
would make the provisioning
of great armies difficult.
While the acquisition of the
Ukraine by Germany would
make the protection and pro-
yisioning of Germany and OF
Europe easier.
Still another reason why
Germany projected the inva-
sion and acquisition of the
Ukraine was because great
many German farmers had
settled in that sectiOn-and
these Germans had been bru-l
tally treated by the COmmu-.
mist Russian government for
the reason that they objected
TO the communication of their
lands.
Many thousands OF these
German colonists had been
slain or sent To Siberia.
Hitler was pledged to
avenge them.
HERMANY'S program-be-'
~ fore war was declared

with the western powers. -.
Italy, Spain, France and Eng

Fads and Fancies

Flowerlike pompons made of
wool yarn are the newest addi-
tions to sweaters. These POM
pons, used in a decorative way,
may be placed on pockets,
sleeves, or up and down front
openings.
Apron skirts that tie on in
jiffy and are removable at will
are made of allover lace in the
identical color of the pastel wool
frocks with which they are worn.
These skirts play a double role
in that they may be tied about
the shoulders to serve as smart
evening capes.
In the teen-age set, fancy turns
to the youthful calot as an all
American favorite. Girls like
these little headpieces, as they
set so easily back of the pompa-
dour. Their newest style note is
a long dangling tassel, suspended
from their top center. You may
choose any color, but for all
around service, a navy felt calot
with a red tassel is perhaps
most serviceable.

Roses Take Spotlight
In Many Fabric Designs

It's rosetime in fashionland. The
most featured flower in fabric de-
sign, in hat trimmings and in smart
corsages is the rose.
1t is going to be a particularly
rosy summer in cottons, because
cottons this year are reminiscent of
weaves that were favorites in the
early 1900s. You will find roses
blooming on waffle piques, on un-
bleached muslins, in mezzotint, on
glazed chintz and on lawns and per-
Gales.
For party frocks, the newest ma
terials are hand-painted sheers. A
huge American Beauty rose, one
painted on the bodice, one on the
skirt, enhances the beauty of these
sheers.
Don't overlook the cunning little
sailor hats that are made to wear
with the new tailored suits or cape
costumes. You will be charmed with
single rose trim that mounts right
from the very front of the crown.
The latest evening corsage is a
single long-stem rose.

New Wedding Gowns
Boast Bright CoIora
Brocades, Lscc5, CHI
Top Brides Fabric Liz.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

This is a season when the bride
to-be is given a choice as to whether
her wedding dress be in a romantic
period fashion or whether it adhere
to the stateliness of traditional white
satin.
Brocades are staging a comeback
in the fabric field. The wedding
gown of brocade is very lovely.
Sometimes the theme is varied, the
bride wearing a sheer white gown
with fiounces or vertical cascades
of narrow ruf1ing, and her attend
ants wearing white brocade simply
made, girdled with gold belts.
Smart indeed is the all-lace we'd
ding. The bride in white lace
dress made in the new long-torso
lines; the bridesmaids in fiower-col-
ored chiffons, topped with long fit
ted lace redingotes the identical col
or of the dress underneath. The
redingote idea is decidedly new
feature in the bridal picture.
Fabrics on the fashionable brides
list this season include dull crepes,
heavy sheers, marquisettes, chif-
fons, nets, taffetas, traditional satins
and rich brocades.
Great stress is placed on color
schemes. The vogue for mauve and
orchid shades is reflected in this
seasons wedding gowns. You can
carry out the entire picture in vio-
let's and mauves, adding pale blue,
delicate green and fiower-pink rib
bons for a contrast.
Another pleasing color suggestion
is white net for the bride and yellow
taffeta for the attendants. The flow
er girl could wear yellow chiffon.
