UNA PROPOSITION

I'll QuerluO HSpPSI,
que honra a la Florida por 81
nivel Intellectual y civismo, ha-
bio aver con entera claridad y
dijo que Estados Unidos e In
glaterra deben ocupar, antes de
que 10 hagan los nazis, a Groen-
landia, Islandia, las Azores, las
islas de Cabo Verde las Cana
rias, etc..
Estamos ~nosotros de compile
to acuerdo con esa proposition
v queremos hacerle una Sugeren
cia muy importante al quito Sc
nador.
Las islas Canarias pertenecen
a la Espana chriminal y falan-
gista.
Por ell mundo tiene ESpaha
sus cortes republicans, sus di-
putados y hasta su gobierno.
Ocupar las islas seria muy
conveniente; pero quitandole el
mando a los falangistas y entire
gandoselo a los republicanos y
leales.
Estados Unidos e Inglaterra
pudieran deshacer algunos de
sus errores del pasado, echando
a la Falange de esas islas y re-
conociendO en- elias a la Repd-
blica.
Estados Unidos no puede Sc
guir vacilando.
Necesita Inglaterra las Cana
rias, para la mejor defensa del
Atlantico, como las necesita Es-
tados Unidos, amiga entranable
de Inglaterra.
Necesita Estados Unid0s las
Azores, para ayudar al pueblo
ingles, como las necesita Ingla-
terra.
Necesita Inglaterra las islas
de Cabo Verde, como EstadOs
Unidos necesita impedir que
Dakar caiga en- poder de los
nazis.
Estados Unidos debe impedir
que Groenlandia caiga en- poder
de los nazis, por cuanto este CO.
locaria a la aViaci6n enemiga
en- ell hemisferio occidental.
Estados Unidos no puede per-
mitir que los japoneses Sc apo
deren de Singapore, pOrque es-
to cerraria las puertas del Orien
te a Inglaterra y despu&s, por
complete, a Estados Unidos.
La perdida de Singapore pom
drfa inmediatamente en- peligro
el dominic de Estados Unidos
en- Guam, Hawaii, Samoa v las
Filipinas...
EstadOs Unidos no tiene que
declarar la guerra a los nazis y
totalitarios, sine llegar a los te-
rritorios que necesita para La
defensa de la democracia y ocu-
parlos.
I'm gobiernto republican, es-
panel en- las Canarias seria la
mejor ayuda para la causa de
.Inglaterra y Estados Unidos.
I'm. gobierno republicano en-
las islas del golfo, de los plata
nos... un gObierno democratico
espahOl, al serviciO de la demo
cracia y de Ia justicia.
Devolver las Canarias a Ia Re
p1blica Espahola, seria marcar
ell principle del fin del gobierno
semibarbaro y traidor de Fran
co.
Los hombres de la Rep1blica
ayudarian desde las Canarias a
los pueblOs democraticos y con-
vertirian las islas en- un baluar-
te inexpugnable de la libertad.
Tenga presente ell senador

CHURCH LAND
 CTI0 N IS. E! HERE.
| N Suii Would Establish Trus- ieeship Over Russian
 Orthodox Property

Court action was started in Fed eral District Court here late yes terday, to establish The Most Rev Theophilus, Bishop of San Fran cisco and Metropolitan of the Rus sian Orthodox Greek Catholic Church of America, as trustee and holder of legal title to lands occu pied by Russian Orthodox churches in Juneau and Sitka.
 The action is being brought by George Tulintseff, George E. Sheeper and William George, trus- tees of St. Nicholas Church in Ju- neau, Rev. John zlobin, rector of St. Michaels Cathedral, in Sitka. and The Most Rev. Theophiliis, and names members Of Russian Ortho- dox churches in Juneau and Sitka as defendants in the suit, giving them an opportunity to file a pro- test if they wish against the pro- posed transfer of title to the church lands.
 The suit sets out that according to an agreement at the time Alas ka was purchased from the Rus sians, the titular head of the Rus sian Orthodox church was named as trustee of church lands. Be- cause the former church head, who held title to the lands, has been dead for some years, actual title to the property has been under dispute.

Wheeler AssaiIs Idea
Conveys Are Move
Toward Peace
Senator Begins Speeches
To Offset Wall Street
Propaganda
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CINCINNATI, April 5.-The "one
final step" to involve this Nation in
war, Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of
Montana, believes, is to convince the
people that conveys are a move
toward peace.
Conveys probably will be tried
out first to South America or South
Africa-where they will say there is
no danger" Senator Wheeler told an
America First Committee rally last
night, opening a series of speeches
he described as intended to offset
Wall Street propaganda"
We'll, if there is no danger, why
convoy?" he asked.
1T would seem as if our warmon-
gers are hoping that one of our ships
be sunk and American boys be
drowned in order to drag us into this
European war" the isolationist lead
er declared.
Conveying through combat areas
means war. Make no mistake about
that.
THE warmongers are becoming in
creasingly brazen. Each step toward
war becomes longer-more direct
and there is less of an effort to dis
guise it as peace insurance"
Recalling the congressional fight
against the lease-lend bill, Senator
Wheeler said there is nothing in
Gt) that authorizes the President to
declare war or send conveys. = :"
The time has come to turn from
foreign wars to American problems,
to strengthen our own democracy"
he said.
There are still 100000 unem-
ployed, farm tenancy is still a social
and economic problem and agri-
culture is still burdened with debt.
Our senior citizens still lack Sc
curity. slums continue to breed
disease and crime. Hospitals
schools and homes (musD be
built $.
This is the war, noble war, in
which we should all enlist" he de-
clared.

u. ). Can Dictate Form
OF Postwar World,
Says Ex-League Aide
Other Nations Gladly
Will Give Leading Role
To America, He States

Ry Tire Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA. April 5.-Ar-
thur Sweetzer, former member of
the secretariat of the League of
Nations, declared today he believed
other nations would gladly give
the United States the leading role
in the postwar adjustments If she
is prepared to assume it."
This would be the case not only
because her resources are steadily
increasing as theirs decrease. but
still more because she is the least
certain element in the world pic
ture," he said in an address before
the 45th annual meeting of the
American Academy of Political and
Social Science.
There is reason to think" he
asserted, that they (other nations)
would be willing to go as far along
the road as the United States would
60, and that their hesitation to an
nounce detailed objectives is due
to uncertainty as to what this
country will be willing to do
Mr.. Sweetzer, now at the Insti-
tute of Advanced Study of Prince
ton University, said that after the
present war the United States will
face both one of the gravest respon-
sibilities and one of the greatest
opportunities that any nation has
ever faced"
Norman Thomas, national chair
man of the Socialist party, told the
academy last night that "the full
entrance of America into the war
would not save democracy but
would, on the contrary, extinguish
it for an unpredictably long period
of time in our own country"
THE alternatives, as 1 see it,"
he said, ARE war or democracy"
Eugene P. Thomas, president of
the National Foreign Trade Coun-
Gil in New York City, said that
"Anglo-American financial and
trading co-operation-inclusive of
Latin American interests-is of
prime importance in preparing
plans for the new world order to
replace that with which Germany Is
experimenting.

Plan 10 Entertain
Troops Depends on
Dances Success
Federal Employees Council
Hopes to Get Funds
For Summer Program

On the success of the dance which
the Federal Employees Council is
sponsoring tonight at Riverside
Stadium hinges plans for a recrea-
tional program in Washington for
soldiers and defense workers.
Archie Edwards of the Civil Serv-
ice Commission, leader of the Fed
eral employees group. said extern
sive plans had been made for this
summer Il but that they were
jammed behind a large "if."
IF this dance is a success and
if we make some money to finance
our program and if we find the
people of Washington really want
to do their part-then we are going
ahead with some pretty swell ideas, -
he said.
Two Bands to Play.
The dance will begin at pm.
and will end at l m with Vincent
Lopezs and Tiny Meeker's orches-
tras playing. Admission is s110 and
tickets will be sold at half price
to men in uniform and to the Dir
trict'S dance draftettes."
The employees council, Mr.. Ed
wards said, is staging the dance on
a shoe-string. The council has nc
funds and all its work is being done
by volunteers, or is paid for out OF
the pockets of those who feel a civic
responsibility to entertain soldiers
on leave and Government defense
workers.
THE soldiers who have been sta
toned near Washington since the
emergency haven't gotten very
good impression. I'm afraid" Mr.
Edwards said They must feel that
the people of Washington don't care
much about them.
Entertainment Planned.
IF we can raise some money,
hope we can change this impression
I hope that we can have some kind
of entertainment every night of the
week.
1--WE have made plans for radio
quiz program with cash prizes do
mated by some local merchant, every
Tuesday night. Well get five Gov
ernment workers to oppose a team OF
five soldiers and stage it in the De-
partmental Auditorium.
Then, on some other night every
week, we would like to have ar
amateur program, also to be put on
the radio. If we get some money, we
can stage dance or two every week
I'VE owe an obligation to these
boys in uniform and I hope the peo-
pie of Washington will show that
they realize this"

Turkey, YugosIavia
And Greece Reported
Planning Alliance
Rumors Are Accompanied
By Calling Of More
Men by Ankoru
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ISTANBUL, Turkey, April S.
Turkey, Yugoslavia and Greece, with
Britain's blessing, are considering a
mutual assistance alliance in joint
gamble to stop Germany If she starts
a Balkan war, it was widely reported
here last night.
These reports were not confirmed,
but they were accompanied by the
calling of more Turks to arms and
other defense measures, which led
observers to believe that war Is closer
than ever to this nation, standing
guard over the Dardanelles.
If these three small countries join
in a Balkan front for mutual pro-
lection, observers pointed out, Ger
many would face the prospect of
having war on three fronts in Bull
garia if she starts a drive in either
direction.
Eden May Go to Turkey.
In this connection, it was reported
that Anthony Eden, British Foreign
Secretary now in Athens, is prepar-
ing to make a second trip to Turkey
officials said they knew nothing
of this report, but admitted British
and Turkish staff talks in progress
at Ankara will explore thoroughly
all angles of Turkeys defense prob
lem and may last for two weeks.

Cornwall. British Army adviser to
the Egyptian government, Air Vice
Marshal T. w. Elmhurst and Ad-
miral Sir Howard Kelly arrived
Thursday. They are the same who
conferred with Turkish military
chieftains last January.
The idea of a Turkish -Yugoslav-
Greek alliance fits with ideas ad-
vanced by the Turkish press which
has declared that YugoSlavia has
it in her power to decide whether
united front is formed.
(The Turkish envoy in Yugo-
slavia called on officials of the
new Yugoslav government imme-
diately after the coup d'etat of
Premier Dusan Simovic March 27,
it was reported, and offered a
mutual assistance pact. Since
then Milan Gavrilovic. Yugoslav
Minister to Soviet Russia, stopped
in Turkey for conferences on his
return to Moscow
Two Army Classes Called.
Turkeys new defense measures
included the calling up of all mer
of the army classes of 1906 and 1907
who previously had been excused
from training. They are to report
