assertion that the United States
had mo minister or ambassador
in residence" in the Arabic-speak-
ing countries, Mr.. Hull commented
that 1raq was the only independent
Arab state.
He added that the United States
Minister to Iraq for many years
was the late Paul Knabenshue,
whom he called man of unusually
broad experience. The Government,
Mr.. Hull said, has sent as his sue
cessor Thomas NJ Wilson.
Democrats Criticize Speech.
AS for Syria and Lebanon, Mr..
Hull remarked, those countries still
are inundated territory. To them,
however, the Government recently
sent George Wadsworth as diplo-
matte agent and consul general.
Three House Democrats criticized
Mr.. Wilkes report on his round
the-world survey, with Representa-
tive Patman, Democrat, of Texas,
maintaining that matters of war
strategy should be left to the mill
tary experts.
While Mr.. Patman described sec
tions of the address as Interesting
and informative" he declared on
the floor that there were certain
parts which would prove "hurtful
rather than helpful" and might put
the administration ION the spot"

He referred In particular to Mr..
Wilkes reiterated request for a
second front, and argued that the
Allies should take advantage of
time" to build up weapons such as
bombers on production scale
which could not be matched by the
enemy.
Representative Rankin, Democrat,
OF Mississippi, maintained that the
address would do "irreparable harm
to the English-speaking Allies" and
declared that "the most DANGEROUS
part was the part which he gave en-.
couragement to the revolutionists in
India"
Does not the gentleman agree"
Representative Cox, Democrat. of
Georgia, asked Mr.. Patman, that
the American public has taken the
measure of Mr.. Willkie and paws
very little attention to what he
says?"@s
Mr.. Patman disagreed, and de-
clared that Mr.. Willkie had a large
audience In the country, and com.

dential nominees attitude Of CO.
operation with the administration
since this country entered the war.
Norris Disagrees.
Senator Norris, independent. of
Nebraska, said he was unable to
agree with Mr.. Willkie that Z Sec
ond front should be started Inn
mediately.
4 don't criticize him for his
speech" Senator Norris told 4 re-
porter. "but I think some Of the
things he said were impractical.
Nothing would please me more
than the opening Of 4 second front
but we are not in shape to attempt
that at this time. It would mean
death and determination for too
many men. We're simply not pre-
pared for q second front. We ought
not to divide the American people
or British people on the question of
second front.

on doing what they are-bombinR

allies, are legitimate measures of
war"
Mass Psychosis Problem. ''''
1t is "discouraging and disturb
ing picture" but the plain truth, Mr..
Mccarthy said, is that the Allies "are
dealing with maniacs who have in
fected their nations with mass psy-
Ghosts and that psychosis must
somehow be cured before we can
hope for anything better than an
armed and troubled peace after this
war"
I'VE are beginning to understand
that the survival of China and the
survival Of America may be in
separable." he said, that the de-
tense OF Egypt is also the defense of
Stalingrad, and that the two are Just
as truly a combined operation as the
joint drive that the Americans and
Canadians have been making in the
Aleutians.
The Americans, the British and
the Canadians at Dieppe were not
three separate parties fighting for
three different countries. They were
one united force ssorming that bit of
coast on behalf of all the United
Nations ="
The action of any one of the
United Nations was action taken for
all, Mr.. Mccarthy said.
Allied Forces Still Intact.
If we lose sight of that
point, II We drift back to the idea
that we can hold ourselves aloof
from each others problems, there
will be no security In the years
ahead but, instead, the definite Ger
tainty Of another devastation"
Briefly reviewing the course Of the
war, Mr.. Mccarthy, who sits in the
Washington Pacific War Council as
Canada's representative, said: IT
think we may take heart. - We
have been forced to yield ground In
some places. but In others we have
recovered ground And nowhere
have our forces broken. We 70 into
this fourth winter of the war with
our eyes fixed upon the day. when
the growing strength of the United
Nations will overwhelm Hitler, Tojo
and that hall lf-forgotten italian, and
impose on them the punishment

This is the first I've heard of 1t,

OF President Clark Griffith of the
Washington club when told of the
proposal.
I'm the first place am opposed
to the loss of identity involved in

meet the transportation difficulties
with smaller squads, and by using
