Peru Will Cooperate
Fully in Hemisphere
Defense, Prado Says
Pun-Americunism Seen
Forming Solid Political
And Economic Bloc
By HAROLD b. ROGERS.

by HAhOLD ID. hOOEhS.
Declaring the United States and
Peru were united in this crucial
hour" President Manuel Prado of
Peru yesterday said Pan-Ameri-
canism has created a solid political
and economic bloc" with "incal-
culable prospects for the future"
Speaking to diplomatic represen-
tatives of 81 American republics
represented in the Governing Board
of the an-American Union, DR.
Prado gave this response to a well
come by Secretary Of State Hull,
board chairman, who had sounded
a serious note on the present crit
ical period"
To-day. as never before" Sec
retary Hull told the gathering at
the n-American Union, the
American Nations must stand
shoulder to shoulder with each
other, and with all freedom loving
nations Of the world in the great
struggle upon which we are all
engaged. Upon the outcome of that
struggle will depend the future of
man for generations to come"
Mr.. Hull paid tribute to the visit
ing chief of state and to the i'm
portant part which you and your
country have been and are playing
in furthering the cause of Pan
American solidarity and therefore
the cause Of freedom and of hu-
manity."
Further Pledge of Cooperation.
DR.. Prado, the first chief of state
of a South American nation ever
to visit this country during his term
Evening star., 1942-05-10

of Office, gave further pledge of
Peruvian cooperation at a press
conference at his official residence,
Blair House.
While the emergency lasts in our
continent" he said, "all the natural
resources of Peru, its great agricul-
tural, mineral and forest wealth
will be modified for the closest CO.
operation in the task of common
defense"
Speaking alternately in fluent
English, Spanish and French, the
53-year-old statesman, engineer and
scholar commented with warm eX-
pressions of appreciation on the re-
ception he is receiving in the United
States.
He was charmed" with the con-
versation of President and Mrs.
Roosevelt, he said. He chatted with
them the other night until mid
night when he was a White House
guest. An early riser, however. he
insisted, he always gets up at s
o'clock" He denied with a laugh
a story he said was being circu-
lated that he ate turkey for break
fast.
No Threat From Japs.
japanese in Peru, DR.. Prado said,
are not a danger. Germans are not
of sufficient numbers to cause any
difficulty, he declared.
There is no rationing of gasoline,
rubber or sugar yet in Peru, he said.
He also expressed pride in Peru's
completion of her part of the Inter
American highway. rpsF
In response to a toast to Peru and
its President, DR.. Prado proposed
a toast to the United States, to
President Roosevelt, and the Ameri-
can press.
DR.. Prado has captured American
officials with his understanding
and personality" Undersecretary of
State Welles said yesterday at a
luncheon for members of the Peru
Wan party, while DR.. Prado was
dining elsewhere, at his own official
residence.
The Peruvian Ambassador, Senor
Don Manuel de Freyre y Santander
entertained at state dinner at the
Embassy in honor of the visiting
President. A large reception fol-
lowed.
Luncheon and Dinner Planned.
Today DR.. Prado plans to attend
mass at ST. Matthews Cathedral
and have luncheon as a guest of
Assistant Secretary of State and
Mrs. Adolf A. Berle. Tonight he
will be entertained by Nelson A
Rockefeller, co-ordinator of Inter-
American affairs, and Mrs. Rookie
feller at their home. Vice President
Wallace will be guest.
President Prado paid tribute to
the first President of the United
States yesterday noon as he laid a
wreath at the crypt of George
Washington at Mount Vernon.
I'm the profound crisis which
faces the world" he said, brought
on virtually by the breakup of moral
factors, the lofty virtues of Wash
ington stand as teachings of eternal
value"
| Dr. Prado also laid a wreath on
the tomb of the Unknown Soldier
at Arlington National Cemetery.
President Prados official visit will
end tomorrow. He will visit the
/ Capitol, where he is expected to ad-
dress the Senate at noon, and viii
leave late tomorrow afternoon fol-
Boston and New York before leaving
for Peru by way of Miami.

Brown in Radio Forum
Senator to Discuss Program
PIunned to Curb Initiation

The anti-inflation program out
lined by President Roosevelt will
be discussed by Senator Brown,
Democrat, of Michigan in the Ma
tional Radio Forum at 9 pm. Mon
day. The National Radio Forum is
arranged by The Star and broadcast
over the Blue Network. The pro-
gram may be heard here on Station
WMAL.
Senator Brown, a member of the
Senate Banking and Currency
Committee. had charge of the price
control bill in the Senate. Price
control is major feature of the
problem of preventing imitation.
Senator Brown has been keenly
interested in the entire subject and
has definite ideas of what should
be done, President Roosevelt, in
making his recommendation to
Congress, laid down a seven-point
program. Several of these recon-
mendations have aroused opposition
both in Congress and in the coun-
try, particularly the recommenda-
ton that the provision in the price
control law relating to farm prod
uctS be amended so as to limit farm
prices to parity

U-Boots May Be Using
New Type Rocket Motor
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
The first reports yesterday of sub
marine attacks on shipping in the
Mexican Gulf caused no surprise in
naval circles here.
1t had been expected since the
underSea fleet appeared off the At
lantic Coast last winter that at least
few Axis submarines would ven-
ture into the Gulf in attempts to
pick off merchant shipping as it
entered or left ports. Operation
close to port narrows the field of
hunting and increases the chance
Of finding targets Gas American sub
marines have proved by their sue
cesses near the shores of Japan.
Distance Little Handicap.
Distance from base is little handi-
cap to modern submarines. The first
class undersea boats of all the big
naval powers can stay at sea 40 to
60 days and hunt thousands of miles
from their home ports. The pri-
mary fact that limits the range of
operation is the physical endurance
Of crews; where they operate is, to
a large degree, governed by the
nerve of the crew and officers.
Both elements, particularly the
latter, enter into the case of Axis
submarine operations in the Gulf OF
Mexico. That inland sea is sur
rounded by unfriendly territory To
get into the Gulf an enemy sub
marine must run the outer bar
rier of islands guarding the Carib-
bean Sea, then nose through either
the Strait Of Florida between Flor
ida and Cuba) or through the Yu-
catan Channel between Cuba and
the Peninsula of Yucatan).
Both these channels however, are
more than 100 miles wide and pre-
sent no problem under cover of
darkness or bad weather
Rocket Motors Possible.
The possibility that German sub
marines operating in the Gulf and
along the Atlantic port might be
propelled by a new type of rocket
/ motor existed. Sea Power, a publi-
/ cation Of the Navy League, said to-
day that the Germans were be-
/ lieved to be using such propulsion
equipment The motor, an adapta-
ton of the conventional Diesel
engine, uses fuel oil on the sur
face and compressed hydrogen anc
oxygen when submerged.
Such motor, the magazine said
would give a small submarine g
cruising range of at least 1200(
miles, eliminate the danger of toxic
fumes from the batteries normally
used for undersea propulsion anC
expedite a quick submerging opera
ton.
The Navy has disclosed that it is
making progress in its anti-subma-
rine campaign Secretary Knox
said recently that the Navy was
constantly enlarging" its patro
feet and that an additional 50(

ported victory. Like many another,
however, he felt that he should
withhold any more definite state
ment until all the facts have been
received.
Officials Urge Caution.
Officials cautioned against jump
ing at the conclusion that japanese
seapower in the area had been
smashed The enemy, it was said
would still be able to muster a
strength there that must not be
minimized.
There was elation, however, in the
thought that in a war of destruction
and replacement such as is this one
every japanese ship sunk is doubly
a victory. For Japan lacks the ia
cillties for building new warships ir
anything like the numbers or the
speed of which American ways are
capable.
Addressing the Nation on Apri
81 Mr.. Roosevelt reviewed the de-
velopments of the war, and told Of
serious losses" in the far Pacific
But, he added:
There is good reason to believe
that their (the Japanese southwark
advance has been checked. Aus
tralia, New Zealand and much Other
territory will be bases for offensive
action-and we are determined tha
the territory which has been los
will be regained."
The sea battle was regarded here
as concrete evidence that Mr.. Roose
welt had gauged the situation cor

Roosevelt ProcIaims
June "a Flag Day
For United Nations
Coils on U. S. to Honor
Courageous Mothers
With Sons in Service

Stating that the United States is
fighting shoulder to shoulder with
the valiant peoples of the United
Nations, the massed, angered forces
of common humanity" President
Roosevelt yesterday proclaimed that
Flay Day for 1912, June IA, be OBJ
served as a day of honor to the
flags of all the Is Allies in the wal
against the Axis and to "ou1
courageous mothers and their val
liant sons in the service"
The President directed officials OF
the Federal Government and re-
quested the officials of State and
local governments to display the
Stars and Stripes on all Govern
ment buildings on Flag Day, and
he urged the American people to
fly the American flag from their
homes and Ito arrange, where feas-
ible, for Joint displays of the en-
blems of the freedom-loving nations
on that day"
Fighting Greatest Cause.
Mr.. Roosevelt described the Amer
lean flag as "the emblem of our
freedom, our strength and our unity
as an independent nation under
God" He added:
Now we are fighting in the great
est cause the world has known. We
are fighting to free the people of
this earth from the most powerful,
the. most ruthless, the most savage
enemy the world has ever seen. We
are dedicating all that We have and
all that We are to the combat. We
will not stop this side of victory.
I'VE as a nation are not fighting
alone. In this planetary war we are
a part of a great whole. We are
fighting shoulder to shoulder with
the valiant peoples of the United
Nations, the massed angered forces
of common humanity. Unless all
triumph, all will fail"
1t was understood that Mr.. Roose-
velt did not mean to supersede to-
days celebration of Mothers Day
in his reference to honoring mothers
on Flag Day. but this gives them
another special day of public glorifl-
cation.
Text of Proclamation.
The proclamation read.
For many years it has been our
American custom to set aside June
IA in honor of the flag, the emblem
of our freedom, our strength. and
our unity as an independent nation
under God. Now we are fighting in

Churchill on Radio
Today 10 Discuss
War Developments
Prime Minister Expected
To Outline Coming Role
For British Millions
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 9-Prime Minister
Churchill will broadcast to the
world tomorrow night g pm. East
ern war time) to explain the latest
developments in the British Empires
fight for survival and victory on the
second anniversary Of his selection
as Prime Minister and the start
of the Nad conquest Of the Low
Countries and France.
(Mr. Churchill's address will
be broadcast by the four major
American radio networks and
will be heard in Washington
over stations WMAL. WRC, VOL
and WJSV. Station WINK will
transcribe the speech and re-
broadcast 1t at $50 pm)
Nav Defend Fuel Rati0ning.
The Prime Minister is expected to
outline the part millions of Britons
will play in the campaign months
of 1912 to obtain the victory at all
costs" to which he pledged himself
two years ago.
1t was predicted that Mr..
Churchill also would defend the
governments fuel rationing scheme,
the most hotly debated issue in
domestic politics.
Other prime topics for discussion
would include the gallant but inef-
fectual effort to halt the Japanese
in Burma, the Royal Air Forces
mighty spring offensive, Britain's
swift occupation of Madagascar's
vital naval base, and the govern
ment's attitude toward the Laval
government of Vichy, which ordered
the French to resist their one-time
allies in Madagascar.
The speech is expected to be more
optimistic than the Prime Minister'S
last radio broadcast when, on the
night of February Is, he announced
the fall of Singapore.
Silent on Second Front"
But the second 'front.'" a subject
which every Briton but the Prime
Minister appears to have discussed
in public, probably will not be
included. Although there are cer-
tain signs that the government Is
changing its mind about offensive
action on the continent this year,
informed sources say public dis
cussion by Mr. Churchill would be
the height of folly"
The fuel rationing issue hinges on
whether Britain will ration coal,
electricity and gas or call soldiers
back from the army to the mines
on the eve of what the Manchester
Guardian calls decisive operations"
Mr.. Churchill is expected to de-
fend the governments fuel rationing
plan on just this point-that with
drawal of the troops would wreck
key divisions on the eve of months
which many view as the most i'm
portant of tie war.
