ROME, Feb. l0.-Virginio Gavda
declared today that British Prime
Minister Churchill was "deceiving
the American people" in assuring
them in his broadcast yesterday
that the United States this time
would not be forced to expose its
men to war"
Mr.. Churchill said that as far as
he could foresee Britain would have
no need for American troops.
He cannot pretend to anticipate
the reactions of the axis and its
allies to the development of Ameri-
can policy, which the axis is not
provoking and which is letting it
self be dragged ever further into
declared Intervention" the authori-
tative Fascist editor wrote in the
newspaper II Giornale dItalia.
Gavda called Mr.. Churchill a
sinister fabricator" in ''insinuating
supposed axis plans of attacks in
French North Africa and even
against Russia"
Genoa Revenge Promised.
Such plans, Gayda said, ARE non-
existent"
Churchill saw fit to announce
destruction of the port of Genoa
by yesterdays bombardment," Gay
da continued. Needless to say. he
deceived himself as he has deceived
himself every time he has hastened
to speak of eliminating Italian ships
and equipment from the war.
From yesterdays bombardment
remains only a new fact of ag-
gression against an open city which
will be avenged at the right time
and in. its due manner"

American entry into the war would
lead eventually to the establishment
of either Fascist or a Communist
government in the United States.
Merwin K. Hart, New York econ
omist, predicted in opposing the
leaSe-lend bill before the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee today.
Opening the final day of oppoSi-
ton testimony Mr.. Hart said the
bill probably would lead "us into
war and that even the amend
ments adopted by the House before
1t passed the measure Saturday do
not greatly reduce that danger.
Purchase of Possessions Proposed.
AS an alternative TO the lease lend
bill. Mr.. Hart proposed the purchase
of England's 10000 900 square miles
of island possessions in this hem
isphere at valua ton of S18 900 900. =
900. He said this would pay Eng
lands World War debt and leave a
$4,000 100000 credit for war ma
terials.
In the course OF today's hearing
Senator Clark, Democrat. of Mis-
souri, described Winston Churchill s
Sunday broadcast as testimony be-
fore this committee. because that
was what it was intended TO be"
In discussion of conveying goods
to England, Senator Gillette. Demo-
crat, of Iowa expressed the fear that
any amendment barring American
conveys might amount 10 nothing
more than an expression of the
opinion of Congress in view of the
Presidents constitutional power over
ship movements as Commander in
Chief of the Navy.
Senator Clark said conveys could
be prevented in constitutional way
by Congress refusing TO make ap-
preparations for such purposes.
Joseph Curran. president of the
National Maritime Union. and Kath-
feen Norris. the writer. were on
the list of others scheduled to be
heard today.
Willkie to Testify Tomorrow.
Wendell L. Willkie. the Republi-
can presidential nominee. is sched-
lled to appear before the commit
tee tomorrow. Mr. Willkie. who
returned to the United States yes
terday after a survey of war condi-
ton in England. favors the legisla-
ton with notifications.
Mr.. Hart said two war correspond
ents who have spent most of the
past two years abroad expressed to
him the fear that if the war lasts
long enough exhaustion of the fight
ing nations would leave Russia in
control.
For the United States, from
whatever motives, to throw itself
into this present conflict would lead
in as brief a time as two or three
years to the utter exhaustion
economically and socially of this
free and rich republic" Mr.. Hart
warned. Then, with the highly
organized Communistic network
that has been developed in the
United States, could not Russia
as quietly and as effectively take
control here?
That. I believe, is the great
danger that turks in the back
ground. Do we Americans have
to commit suicide?"
Mr.. Hart told the committee he
wants to see Britain win, but be-
lieves it is of vital Importance that
the United States build up its home
defenses.
Almost anything might be given
away except human life," the wit
ness asserted.

lean people, probably the only
solvent nation left on earth, are
asked to indorse a promissory note

YOUNG Champion had fed the
1 palomino and shifted him into a
dry saddle blanket. Freshened, the
horse stood ready to go.
Candy came down to the corrals
on a run. Good" he said.
Thanks, boy" Mounted, he asked,
SIS there direct trail to the 77?"
"So-so," Paul answered, "as far
as our Outpost Camp. That's the
limit of c C range and is at the south
end of the sink. Only a shanty. You
can't miss it if you keep angling in
that direction. No trail from there
on. All you can do is get up to the
rims somehow and travel straight
west from the Outpost. Waltz" The
boy hesitated.
Candy looked down from his sad
die. "What is it?"
"I've figured it out, maybe, who

any good. Bent Lavic."

pulsively, "Wisht l could go with

Away westward, twenty miles per-
haps, there came momentary rift
in the overcast sky, and a peak of
the Barricade Mountains, thrust up
like blunt thumb, threw back an
opalescent glow. Sunrise; Walt Can
dy set his watch. He rode on after
that into thickening gloom, until
the mist came down about him and
turned to fine drizzle.
He stopped and shrugged into his
black slicker. Steam rose from the
palomino. The little beast shifted
uneasily and tried to wheel back.
"Cut it outl' said Candy. ST don't
like this eitherl"
They moved on, angling into the
southwest.
There was no turning back from
this trail, he knew that; but this
minute he would like to turn back.
His life had never seemed so much
worth holding onto; because that
moment, there in his arms Helen
Cameron had answered his kiss.
He pushed on. And then an abrupt
converging of many cowtrails told
him that a water-hole was not far
off. They came in fanwise from
across the bench top, merging to-
gether until they were one deep
rut, and following, he struck un-
expectedly down the course of

w ALT CANDY stood alone in
w the bottom of the dark ravine.
Helen had not wanted him to ride
back with her, and he was glad that
his offer had been refused. He had
to get hold of himself first.
Then reason told him that what
the girl had said, could never hap
pen. She would never marry jeff
Stoddard. No matter in what spirit
she had promised herself to the n
owner, the thing was too ungodly.
Unless she loved him. Clinging to
his own hope, Walt Candy refused
to believe that she did. 1t all looked
too much like neat and well-planned
trickery, that even if recognized,
was still deadly enough to have
forced her into anything Stoddard
wanted.
In little while, leading the palo-
mino. he made his way back to the
spring. Adroitly. he realized now,
Helen had evaded answer why she
had come here tonight. He had to
know.
There came to mind the faint
sounds he had heard while waiting,
unaware of who was at the pool;
the rippled surface and sucking as
of boots drawn from mud. The girl
had warned him away from the
spot, then had given no sign that she
was afraid someone else might
come.
He left his horse at the willow
edge and groped on along the short
tree-trunk corridor Warily he
struck a match. The disc of water
and its small basin leaped out of
the dark; nothing more.
