Axis PLANNING
US. Attack,
Hull Says

Congress ........... Page 2
BY WILLIAM s. NEAL

Init News Service stan Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Sec-
rotary of State Cordell Hull, in
opening testim ony on Presi-
dent Roosevelt's lease-lend legis-
lation. today fatty warned the
Americas that if Britain loses,
Germany could easily cross the
Atlantic and predicted that such
a Nazi attack probably would be
directed not at the United States,
but at our neighbors to the south.
In one of the strongest state
ments of his long career, the soft
spoken Hull castigated the Axis
powers numerically, particularly
singing out Japan for its efforts
to "ruthlessly exploit and subju-
gate" that half of the worlds
population which lives in the Far
East.
AS the first witness before the
House foreign affairs committee,
Hull minced no words in express
ing his conviction that the United
States must aid Britain if demo-
cratic society is to survive.
SPIES AT WORK
To withhold aid, he said, would
not result in peace, but would, on
the contrary, mean perpetual en-
slavement for the conquered
peoples of Europe who have al
ready been invaded and subjugated
for an attack against U.s."
Not only have these war strate-
gies in Europe been planned with
an eye toward the Americas, but
already "sukversive forces are
hard at work in many American
countries seeking to create in
ternal dissension and disunion as
"a now familiar prelude to armed
invasion" he said.
Emphasizing the urgent need for
speed in passing the legislation,
Hull said:
Were Britain defeated and
"CAC SttO W fOSC CUfAAitkdHu Tic
seas, Germany easily could cross
the Atlantic, unless we were
ready and able to do what Brit
ain is doing now. Were the
Atlantic to fall into German con-
troll, IL would offer little or no
assurance of security"
AIM AT HEMISPHERE
"Most likely, however, IL will
not be by direct and frontal at
tack that the would-be invaders
will undertake the conquest OF
this country, IL they embark on
so mad an enterprise" Hull said.
ut is rather to be anticipated
that their efforts would first be
directed against other portions
of this hemisphere, more vulner-
able than this country, and then
against us.
"Subversive forces are at work
In many American countries,
seeking to create internal dissen-
sion and disunion as n now
familiar prelude to armed in
vasion.
To-day these forces are held
in check and are being steadily
eradicated. But the entire situ-
alton would change II control Of Z

GREATER EFFORT NEEDED
'Under such conditions, tho
difficulties of continental defense
would demand from us vastly
greater efforts than we are now

day for this country Is whether
the control OF the high seas

LEND-LEASE FORECAST

Shortly after the Presidents lend-lease
bill was presented to Congress, Richard
Strout, Washington correspondent of the
Christian Science Monitor, made forecast
Of what would happen to it. Briefly, he
made the following predictions:
The bill will pass, in all probability, but
it will be amended. The amendments will
probably not be of such nature as to i'm
pair the effectiveness of the measure.
There may be bitter fight on the bill,
especially if debate is long drawn out. Fair
ly quick action is expected, but probably
not in less than five or six weeks.
Some limitation of the authority pro-
posed to be given the President is likely, as
those who drafted the bill no doubt asked
for more than they expected to get, and
more than the President expects.
The votes on amendments and on the
bill as whole will not split along party
lines. Some Democrats will be against and
some Republicans will be for the BILL The
final vote, after amendments are threshed
out, will be heavily in favor of the bill.
While the foregoing are only Mr..
Strout's personal predictions. they seem
about as plausible as can be made in the
early stages of the bills consideration.
There is little opposition to liberal aid for
Britain. the main issue being over the
specific powers Congress is willing to grant
the President.

BELIEVING NONSENSE

Most high school graduates look upon
life with minds befogged with superstition,
according to DR.. III. j. Arnold, eminent
psychologist of Wittenberg College, who
recently enumerated few of the silly be-
liefs he found prevalent among them.
Upon asking freshmen entering psy-
ehology classes last year to submit to ex-
aminations on their beliefs and dlsbeliets,
he discovered that so per cent or more than
200 believed that women have powers OF
intuition with which men are not equipped;
that expectant mothers can mark their UNI
born by frightening experiences; that
beavers know when to prepare for long
cold winters; that red makes bull wild;
that chess develops power of concentration.
~ ! Nearly half of them believed that dogs
bowling foretold death, that long slender
hands indicate an artistic nature, that
civilization is almost entirely product of
the white race, and that If you stare long
enough at a persons back You will force
him to turn around.
AS many as % per cent still cling to the
idea that receding or stream-lined chin
denotes lack of will power. that silent men
are deep thinkers. that fat ores are always
good-natured.
And every one of the ideas mentioned
are without the slightest foundation in fact,
says Dr. Arnold.
