if need be, our lives
He made this assertion in an ad-
dress prepared for the National
Farm Institute, and, it was under
stood, read and approved by Presi'
dent Roosevelt. 1t was his first
address since he assumed the vice.
presidency.
"Our only hope for peace is to
prevent England from being de-
stroyed by the Nazis,' he declared.
"Let those who fear the con-
sequences of war keep that in
mind"
Then, looking toward a time
"when Nazism is defeated" Wal
lace said that the United States
has the resources, the inventive
genius and the heart" to do "the
job of peace" in gaining higher liv.
ing standards for common men the
world over.
I'VE shall look forward to the
time when no mar will go hun

clared that the idea of Pan-Ameri-

"A complete Nazi victory will
first result in Nazi domination of
South America and the effort to
dominate our own United States.
"All of Europe and Africa will
be coordinated and the Nazi quisl-
ings in South America will at once
drive for political power. Nazi

"The only hope of keeping ven

Interpretive
BY KIRKE L. P

A pertinent fact about the Bat

are in an offensive, not a defen-
sive mood.
If there is doubt in England of
her ability to weather a spring
tornado of German attack, what
ever it's nature Or scope, British
stategic moves fail to show it.
The British have not only all but

Planes Land
Observers at Singapore report
that enough battle planes to in
sure British air mastery in the
Malayan peninsula area also have
been landed there. 1t was British
ability to seize air control from
Italy in North Africa that pre-
pared the way for the smashing
British victories there which have
shaken italian prestige.
The siege of Britain has cost
more civilian lives than soldier
casualties, but the aggregate has
been below British expectations
when the fight started. England
has learned new defensive tech.

The air loss ratio over England
is important because it furnishes
a key to what ratio of fighter

There have been estimates that
the aggregate effect of months OF
German bombing on the sched-

Walker was going to use as starter
at one of the flanks, has moved
away from Ypsilanti, adding still
more to Walkers load Of grief.
Captain Dick Randall is of course
