WASHINGTON. May 23.-The
American government has no
present intention of occupying the
Island of Martinique, or other
French possessions in the West
ern Hemisphere. Secretary Of
State Cordell Hull indicated to-
day. despite further adherence of
Vichy to Germanys dictates.
At the same time. Senator
Walter F. George CD of Georgia,
chairman of the foreign relations
committee, warned that the
United States will regard extern
sion of Italo-German power west
ward in the Atlantic "as a matter
of grave concern"
Full information concerning
the latest commitments of the
Vichy government with the
Axis powers Is not yet at hand"
George said.
FEAR WEST PUSH
eff IL appears that Axis
power Is to be extended west
ward In the Atlantic, the United
States will, or must, regard such
an extension as a matter of
grave concern.
In the meantime 1t would
seem most unwise To talk OF
Selling Martinique or any French
possession near our shores. or
Central or South American
territory.
'It Is equally unwise TO over
look the lack of freedom of ac-
ton on the part OF the French
people, as much as we deplore
the agreement now i'm progress
between the Vichy and German
governments"
Hull took the occasion of thr
appearance of articles in tn
French press stating that Mar
Unique authorities had bee
ordered 10 prepare for an attacI
by the United States, TO dispe
mounting speculation on the Is
lands future status.

Saturday, were about zero.
Then came the resurrection, and
the temperance of the Savior:
and the outlook changed to one of
opportunity. After conferences with
Him, His friends got a glimpse of
the real greatness of Christs pro-
gram; and, all their faculties Of
faith quickened by the tragedy
through which they had passed, they
set out to win the world-no longer
defeated, timid dupes of false hopes
as they had believed, but heroes and
leaders and imperiahsts in the
grandest project that had ever been
presented to mortal eyes Their
crisis had been transformed into a
commission.
That event, the turning point in
human history, should put a heart
of hope into all of us today AL
though confronted by unprecedented
material and military might in the
hands of pagan poWers-yet not so
great as the power of the Rome of
Jesus day-We are confident that
tne oVerrullng Almighty, VINO has
the greatest stake of all in victory
of Righteousness, will not permit the
triumph of His enemies. Instead,
the worldwide upheaval which Hit
Ter and his associates have created
is only plowing up of caked soil
for a new harvest of better life for
all mankind Victory is as sure as
the promises of God.
The Two Factors.
Two factors changed the whole
attitude of those first disciples One
was the resurrection of Jesus. He
was not a dead leader, but a living
Lord. Death itself, mans greatest
enemy, had been conquered. So all
the forces of life, with the new
power symbolized by the resurrec-
ton, were on their side. They be-
came apostles of a risen Christ.
In the second place, the disciples
were to wait for the improvement
of the Holy Spirit. Before His death,
Jesus had promised them the Com
forter, His Other Self, who would
be with them forever, but they had
