the war. 1 was informed today by
reliable non-Italian quarters.
Large-scale diplomatic negotia-
tons towards these ends are under
way, with the pressure directed
for the moment chiefly against
the Vichy government of France,
Turkey and Russia.
From Russia, Germany seeks
vast supplies of oil and food for
successful conclusion of this new
phase of military activity. Ger

antee the Axis these supplies

pared to take what my informant

Dear Mr.. Hearst:
THE ceremonies which will be

The American people, and par

who have recently arrived at the
age Of responsible citizenship, have
been asked to spend q portion Of

Il MEANS to be an American.

that conception TO those Of us to
whom II is a heritage.
Daniel Webster was so inspired
on two widely separated occasions.
THE first occasion was the lay
j ing OF the cornerstone OF Bun
ker Hill monument In 1925, where
Webster recalled the sacrifice Of
patriot lives and said:

In the absence of agreement be-

board, presiding over the boards

TO ask the two groups whether
they would submit their differences
