physically Impossible 10 base
enough aircraft I'm the British
Isles alone TO equal in strength
the aircraft that can be based
on the continent of Europe.
II have asked these questions
on the supposition that we had
In existence an army and an air
force large enough and well
enough equipped to send TO
Europe, and that we would dare
10 remove our navy from the
Pacific.
Even on this basis, I do not
see how we could invade the
continent of Europe success
fully as long as all of that con-
tinent and most OF Asia Is under
Axis domination.
But the fact is that none Of
these suppositions are correct.
We have only a one-ocean navy.
Our army is still unframed and
inadequately equipped for for
eign war. Our air force is de-
plorably lacking In modern
fighting plane.
INTERyENTIONISTs' REPLY
when these facts are cited,
the interventionists shout that
we are defeatists, that we are
undermining the principles Of
democracy, and that we are
giving comfort to Germany by
talking about our military weak
ness.
But everything I mention
here has been published In our
newspapers, and In the reports
of congressional hearings In
Washington. Our military posi-
ton IL well known to the gov
ernments OF Europe and Asia.
Why, then, should II not he
brought to the attention of our
own people.
II say II Is the Intervention
lists In America, as IL was in
England and In France, who
give comfort to the enemy.
say IL is they who are under
mining the principles of democ-
racy when they demand that
we take course to which
more than 80 per cent OF our
citizens are opposed.
81 charge them with being
the real defeatists, for their pol
icy has led TO the defeat Of every
country that followed their ad-
vice since this war began.
THE ROAD TO DEFEAT
There Is no better way to
give comfort to an enemy than
to divide the people OF n nation
over the issue of foreign war.
There Is no shorter road to de-
feat than by entering a war with
inadequate preparation.
Every nation that has adopted
the interventionist policy of de-
pending on someone else for Its
own defense has met with moth
ing but defeat and failure.
WHICH ufStoty - "itttth' tht
responsibility for the downfall of
the democracies Of Europe will
rest squarely upon the shoulders
Of the interventionists who led
their nations into war unin-
formed and unprepared.
with their shouts Of defeat
ism, and their disdain of reality,
they have already sent countless
thousands of young men to
death In Europe. From the cam
paign of Poland to that Of
Greece, their prophesies have
been false and their policies have
failed. Yet these are the people
who are calling us defeatists In
America today. And they have
led this country, too, to the
verge of war.
There are many such inter-

ventionists In America, but there

different type. That Is why you

night.
There Is a policy open to this
nation that will lead to success
"A policy that leaves us free to
follow our - n way OF life, and

1t Is not new and untried
idea. II was advocated by Wash

the Monroe Doctrine.
"Under its guidance, the
United States became the great

based upon the belief that the
security OF a nation lies In the
strength and character of its
own people. II recommends the
maintenance of armed forces
sufficient to defend this hemi-
sphere from attack by any COM
binatiOn Of foreign powers. IL
demands faith In an Independent
American destiny.
"This Is the policy OF the
America First Committee today.
It Is a policy not OF isolation.
but of independence; not of
defeat, but Of courage. 1t Is
policy that led this nation to
success during the most trying
years of our history. and II Is a
policy that will lead us to sue

NATION WEAKENED
1--WE have weakened ourselves
for many months, and, still
worse, we have divided our own
people by this dsbbling In Eu-

have been concentrating on
American defense, we have been
forced TO argue over foreign
quarrels.

our faith back to our own coun-
try before IL Is too late. And
when We do this, a different
vista opens before us. Prac-
tically every difficulty we would
face in invading Europe becomes
an asset to US In defending

Virginia Sheriffs Urge
End Of Fee System
BY the Associated Press


WINCHESTER, Va, July 18.-The
Virginia State Sheriffs' Association
urged yesterday that the General
Assembly adopt legislation at the
next session placing sheriffs, depu-
ties and city sergeants on a salary
basis and to work for any legisla-
tion tending toward adoption of a
probation and parole system for the
State.
Such legislation as the sheriffs
proposed was embodied in Jail re-
form legislation which failed of pas
sage in the 1888 and 1910 General
Assemblies.
The association made its recon-
mendation in a resolution, one of a
number adopted at the closing ses-
sion of its annual convention, which
voted also to hold next years meet
ing at Roanoke.
In another resolution the aSSocia-
ton pledged its unanimous support
to the F. B. I-police officers mobili-
zation plan for national defense.
A committee was named to recon-
mend to the Governor recodification
OF all State statutes pertaining to
sheriffs.

A labor advisory committee will
be appointed by the ONCE of Pro-

to deal with unemployment resulting
from the increasing shift of the
automobile industry from automobile
manufacturing to the manufacture
of defense items, including airplanes

Intention to name the committee
was disclosed by the o. P. M. yester-
day despite opposition from the C.

management-la labor councils to
handle such problems.
Indications were, however, that
the C. I. o. Automobile Workers
Union would be represented on the
committee. An o. P NJ spokesman
declared union participation was i'm
perative since a possible eventual
reduction of so per cent in passenger
car output may mean job dislocation
for as many as 100000 workers.

Jury Will Hear
Trans0cedn
Case Today
News Service Called
Nozi Agency Which
Failed to Register

A District Court jury today was
ready TO hear the presentation of
Government testimony against the
Transocean News Service, on trial
as Nazi propaganda agency that
failed to register with the Stata
Department. The Government will
contend that the agency was Of
ficially recognized as a propaganda
medium of the Reich and that the
Embassy used it to do in the United
States what the Embassy itself
could not do because of its diplo-
matte status.
The case is the first recent one
in which there is on trial an in
visible defendant "a corporation
not represented by any of its Of
ficers. who are reputedly in Berlin.
George McNulty, special assistant
to the Attorney General, heading
Government counsel, told the jury
Yesterday afternoon in his argu-
ment that the German Embassy, IN
connivance with Transocean, resort-
ed to camouflage, so that Nazt
propaganda might be broadcast
through the United States, Central
and South America. Mr.. McNulty
said that a secretary of the Em-
bassy here, Heibert Won StrempeL
had daily conferences with Trans
ocean.
The mission of Transocean in
Latin America, Mr.. McNulty assert
ed was to inf1ame Latin Amerl-
cans against the United States. He
contended that Transocean was not
only officially subsidized, but was
controlled and directed by the Ger
man Foreign Office and the Min
istry of Propaganda in Berlin.
| When the German charge d'allalTeS
here declined to keep a speaking
engagement, because of reasons of
state, he ordered Manfred Zapp,
manager of Transocean in the
! United States, now on his way back
to Germany, to speak in his place.
he said. zapp and Guenther Tom,
chief editor of Transocean in this
country, are being sent back to Ger
many by the United States in ex-
/ change for two American news
papermen who have been detained
/ in the Reich. Zapp and Tom also
were indicted, with Transocean, by
the District grand jury on charges
of failing to register with the State
Department as agents of a foreign
principal.
Emil Morosini. jr, representing
the defendant corporation, with
Daniel F. Cohalan, jr., of New York,
in brief opening statement to the
jury. pointed out that Zapp is not
a defendant He declared that
Transocean. a German worldwide
news service. is the defendant, but
it is not charged with espionage or
of endeavoring to stir up interna-
tional bad feeling 1t was a prts
vate newspaper concern and did not
have to register, declared Mr..
Morosini, in asking the jury TO keep
an open mind and not to be in
fluenced by inflamed conditions in
the world today.
Federal Judge T. Whitfield David
son Of the Northern District of
Texas is presiding at the trial.

For Aluminium
Ten Virginia Cities
Are Designated for
Assembling Metal

Alexandria has been designated
one Of 10 Virginia cities which will
serve as concentration points for
the Statewide collection of alumni
mum in the nearby Virginia area
starting Monday.
Gov. Price announced that the
Office of Civilian Defense, headed
by Fiorella H. La Guardia, had Sc
lected Alexandria along with Rich
mond. Roanoke, Norfolk, Bristol,
Lynchburg. Danville, Suffolk, Staun-
ton and Salem as the points to
which the scrap metal will be taken

cality.
At these cities, the aluminium will
be sold through public bids to
smelters with defense ratings before
any sorting for defense has been
done, the Associated Press reported.
The smelters will pay for the trans
portation to their plants.
Gov. Price in another move in
line with the national program
issued a proclamation calling on
Virginians to conserve gasoline and
fuel oils "by using all proper means
to prevent waste and to promote the
most efficient and economical use"
of petroleum products.
simultaneously, Capt. w. Glenn
Elliott, director of the Virginia
Aircraft Warning Service, disclosed

posts organized. Virginia's record
was exceeded only by Delaware,
which had only II posts to organize
compared with Virginia's 1.134.
Only a few of Virginia's southwest
stations have not been completed.
