WASHINGTON, May l9 tUP1 -
Secretary of State Cordell Hulls
statement of postwar cbjectives
was followed today by another cabi-
net officers charges that Germany
is seeking .. combination OF nations
To attack the United States.
Secretary of Agriculture Claude
r. Wickard uttered that warning
in an address prepared for de-
livery today He said any dictator
ship combination would be answer
ed by armed might.
Hulls peace plans, promising n
fair share OF raw materials and
an equal opportunity to live for all,
seemed in some respects to be di-
rected at the German people as an
alternative TO the world domination
to which their leaders seem 10
aspire.
But Hull and other speakers in q
weekend of extraordinary oratory
insisted that Great Britain must
win and that The United States
must and will see that our weapons
reach the British in time.
FACTUAL APPEAL
Wickard. like Hull, emphasized
the self-interest of the aid-to-B Brit
ain. policy. His speech was design
ed TO be a hard headed appeal
against mid-western isolationism.
He made no apologies for past
sins or present motives of Britain.
