PHILADELPHIA, Nov. I7.-Repre-

now under the heel of Axis MILL
tarists pleaded for international
solidarity in the postwar world be-
fore the American Academy of
Political and Social Science here
last night.
B. D. Jevtic, Minister of State and
former Prime Minister Of Yugo-
slavia, told the academy, there has
been SO much suffering in our
countries, and so many injustices
have been committed on them that
the noble principles inspired by
woodrow Wilson have become the
faith Of the people.
Complete victory will be achieved
only when the ideas advocated in the
Atlantic Charter are carried out and
when sound foundations for q last
ing peace are laid"
Henryk Strasburger, Poland's Min
lister Of Finance, asked = solid front
for punishment of Nazi Germany.
"At the moment of signing the
armistice," he said, "the Allies views
as to Germany's future economic
structure should be already fixed.
1T will be to the interests of the
world and of the German nation
in particular that it should fully
realize and suffer all the conse-
quences of the deeds 1t has COM
mitted."
A different view of Germany's fate
was taken by Josef Hanc, author
and assistant director of the Czech
oslovakian information service.
Unless We are willing and able
to combine national freedom with a
working international 'organizatio
against aggression" he said, the
security of states. whether small or
large, will always be in jeopardy.
I'VE gladly accept that the
10000, 900 Germans should enjoy all
the good things alongside the other
peoples. But We claim the same
right for the 10000, 600 living in
the Baltic, Danubian and Balkan
areas" he concluded.

Japan suffers extreme dispersion of
strength, from Siberia to the Indian

would be victory for them, Amer

Japan has been fighting since 1887.
The United States comes fresh into
the conflict. Japan is capable of
expensive blunders, as was proved
at Midway. BY failing to invade
Britain after Dunkerque and then
attacking Russia, Germany has
lived up to its reputation of making
no mistakes except the biggest.
