The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-05-19

tered that warning in an add nationwide broadcast from Hutch tnson, Kan. He said any dictator ship combination would be answered by armed might"
 Hull's peaLe plans, promising a fair share of raw materials and an equal opportunity to live for all, seemed in some respects to be dt- rected at the German people as an alternative to the world domination to which their leaders seem to as- pire.
 But Hull and other speakers in h week end of extraordinary oratory insisted that Great Britain must win hnd that the United States must and will see that our weapons reach the British in time.
 Wickard, like Hull, emphasized the self interest of the aid-to-Britain policy. His speech was designed to be a hard headed appeal against lnid-western isolationism. He made no apologies for "past sins or pres- ent motives of Britain" passing his plea on the safety of the homes of his listeners. He appealed directly 10 the prairie states where isola- zionist sentiment uniformly is greater than in the coast regions.
 Goods Must Get Across
 Without mentioning the word convoy", Wickard urged again that we "see that the goods get there" He expressed confidence that the people of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska and the Dakotas were de- Fermined to do what needs to be done.
 Some persons are saying that the A odds against us already are too great, hat we'd better pipe down and keep quiet" Wickard said. T don't think that there are many of those persons or that they amount to much. The events of recent days give new proof that the Nazis are ielibera tely trying to form @ conbin- ltion of nations to attack us. I know what the answer of the American people will be to that. The answer 0 any dictatorship combination timed at the United States will be Bomething the Nazis understand .rlned might"
 "The British Isles and the Brit sh Navy are our first line of de- 'ense. If they are taken over by my Europar country, our naval md cir beass in the Atlantic and he Panama Canal would all be ir precarious position. If these bases all into hostile hands, what then? You know the answer to that ques- ion as well as I do.
 What Is to the pont, If we are lard headedly concerned about the interests of the United States, Is Iur ability and determination to seep Britain and the British navy lfloat and in control of the Atlara- ic Ocean"
 Hull Peace Aims
 Hun outlined his peace aims iere, asserting that 1t "is none too ,arly to Jay down at least some of Che principles by which policies must be guided at the conclusion >f the war" It was the first nota- 5le British or American statement 5f poet-War objectives and 1t raised Immediately the question whether 't would be subscribed to by Prime Minister Winston Churchill Of lreat Britain.
 It was learned that the adlnn- stration considered Hull's address Af great significance on two counts, sirst because of the outline of peace laims and, second, because of its Emphasis on the Idea that we are slelping Great Britain to insure our lbwn security.
 . Hull condemned Interruptions in national defense production by Strikes or business complacency. That aroused interest here as to what new measures the adminis-> Sration may contemplate to prevent Shut downs, notably in the soft coal 'lelds where paralyzing strike Ihay be renewed If current negotia- lions for 6 new contract collapse.
 Five Points Listed t Listing five points, Hull said they were some of the main principles by which policies must be guided after qhe war: . I. Extreme nationalism must hot again be permitted to express itself In excessive trade restrictions.
 "2. Non discrimination in inter- dlational commercial relations must eoe the rule, so that international trade may grow and prosper. |, 8. Raw material supplies must Joe available to all nations without discrimination.
 Il "A. International agreements reg dilating the supply of commodities must be so handled as to protect fully the interests of the consuming countries and their people. IS. The institutions and arrange ,h1ents of international finance must be set up that they lend aid to es- bentiai enterprises and the contin- uous development of all countries, and permit the payment through processes of trade consonant with the welfare of all countries"
