as a stalking horse for Dewey'i
candidacy.
So the candidate is left with
nothing better to offer the country
than his own tired old man." John
Foster Dulles. And what kind OF
an adviser in foreign affairs is this
eminent corporation lawyer turn
ing out to be?
Letter Provides Answer.
The answer is given in letter he
has. written to member OF the
Connecticut Women Voters League
He tells the lady that he has no
doubt whatever" that the neces-
sary support for peace program
would come from the Senate more
readily If Gov. Dewey is President
than il Mr.. Roosevelt is reelected. I"
He bases the statement, he says, on
talks he has had with all the Re-
publican members of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, ex-
cept Gerald P. Nye, who was out of
town.
"I think they'll go far to back up
Republican President" says Mr..
Dulles, but I'm pretty skeptical as
to what will happen if Mr.. Roose-
velt is reelected, in view of the
very bad relations which exist be-
tween him and both houses of Con-
gress."
1t may be that Dewey's Secretary
of State-in-waiting did not expect
the lady to publish the correspond
ence 1t may be that he was giving
himself a little practice in secret
diplomacy. Secret or otherwise, 1t
was very, very undiplomatic thing
to do. It offers in one short state
ment an insult to all the Republican
members of the Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee and, by inference,
to all the Republican members of
the Senate. 1t says they will put
their party above their patriotism
and above the peace of the world.
There are lot of us who do not
believe that concerning Senators

White, Shipstead, Nye, Davis and
Austin, the Republican members of

ing Republican members of the Sen

Republicans Like Hull.
One of those who does not believe
1t is Secretary Hull. His days are
never so crowded nor his shoulders
so burdened that he cannot find
time to talk with these same Re
publicans and his mind never so
suspicious that he cannot talk with
them frankly He had been doing
that before Mr.. Dulles held his own
well-publicized conversations with
him and he has continued to do that
since.
Republican members of the Senate
are happy to talk with Mr.. Hull
Whether they will be happy to talk
with Mr.. Dulles again is open to
question. 1t will not occasion sur
prise if they make it difficult for
him to see them the next time he
calls, as difficult as Wendell Willkie
did the last time Mr.. Dulles sought
a conversation.
A lot of good argument could be
offered for the election of Democratic

granted.

the German barges on nianeuvers
and attacked, with bad results to
the practicing landing party.
1t is even possible, Col Saunders
admitted, that tracer bullets from
the Raj planes might have set fire
to the gasoline-covered water after
the first attack on the party, and
that some German soldiers were in
the water at the time. having been
left there when their boats were
sunk by the plane fire. It would be
fairly simple for the bodies OF those
German soldiers to have foated to
the coast of England, particularly
along the southern coast, thus start
ing the rumorS.
The other soldiers saved from the
waters off the French coast, and
suffering from wounds might easily
have given rise to the German
rumors at the same time, he said.
However, Col Saunders reiterated
that that was just conjecture, and
was not an official explanation.
But that story. likely as it is, will
probably be all the explanation that
will be given until after the war to
account for the rumors which spread
throughout the warning world, tell
ing of Britain's troubles in her
darkest hour.

Nozis Never Tried to Invade,
British Official Here Reveals

ity that there had been occasional
landings Of rubber dinghies carrying
two or three fifth columnists.
This statement from the British
Embassy settles once and for all
the rumors which had been ramp
ant, not only in this country and in
England but also in Germany itself
where an American correspondent
reported that the rumors became SC
widely circulated as to require q
denial from Propaganda Minister
Goebbels himself.
Col. Saunders said that in 1910
when the rumors were strongest in
England, he was travelling a gooo
deal throughout the southern part Of
England, where the rumors were
most widely circulated and mos
realistically told.
Heard Fantastic Stories.
| There, he said, the rumorS were
being told as the truth and were
always told about town a little
farther along the coast; never about
the town, where he happened to be
The stories he thus heard were fan.
tastic in their realism, he said. One
such story was that there had beer
an attempt at invasion, and that
70, 900 Germans had been killed In
the try, and that the German bodies
were being washed up on a beach
a little distance along the coast al
such a rate that it was impossible
to bury them.
An American correspondent ir
Berlin about that time reported
that although there had been nc
fighting, according to the Nazis
party, long trains of wounded SOL
diers were seen to be passing
through the German capital and its
enVirons. The rumors in that coun-
try were even more widely spread
apparently, and even more realistic
One of those heard in Germany was
that the invasion had been attempt
ed and that 100000 Germans had
been wiped out in the try.
Col. Saunders said that there was
no official explanation as to how
the rumors started, but that an un-
official one which was gaining Gre
dence was one which was probably
something like what happened.
Several Theories Advanced.
He said that on some occasion
about the time when the rumors
began there might have been a
practice landing by the Germans
somewhere along the French coast
just as the Allies had practiced
landings along the British coast be-
fore June 6. 1t is just possible, Col
Saunders said. that some members
of the Raj, either on reconnais-
sance or on a bombing mission, saw
