Service Journal Sees
Defeat Of GERMANY
AS First Goal Of u. ).
BY the Associated Press.


The Army and Navy Journal said
today that Secretary of State Stet-
tinius has made plain that the pol
icy Of the United States Is the
prompt defeat Of Germany and
added:
Diversions obviously do not and
cannot accord with this policy"
The unofficial but authoritative
service publication previously de-
plored Russian and British atten-
ton to their own spheres of inter-
est. The Journal said today that
Secretary Stettinius had asserted
bluntly that American policy would
be employed to aid our armed forces
in achievement of a common vic
tory.
World War Parallel Drawn.
Now a situation which it was
hoped would be avoided has de-
veloped and 1t necessitates devotion
of our great Allies and ourselves te
the main task to which they and We
set hands when common action wa,
joined" the Journal said.
With Germany encircled, it is no.
surprising that Britain and Russia
should be concerned over their fu.
ture security and interest. The
same situation developed in World
War I when the enemy was on the
eve Of cracking.
Objective Remains Unchanged.
"Of course, Prime Minister Church
i'll and Marshal Stain understand
that our true objective is now as
it was in Gen. Pershing's time, the
German Army. But their natural
temptation. like that of Lloyd
George, Clemenceau and Orlando
the premiers of that (World War y
era, is to seize the opportunity fol
the safeguarding of their essential
special interests.
From our point of view there
will not be lost sight of the main
objective, which is the defeat OF
Germany at the earliest possible
moment, and this in turn requires
suppression of concern over special
interests and concentration of at
tack on all German fronts in sup
port of the offensive to which Gen
Eisenhower is committed"

Physicians explained that the
r. H. negative factor means that a
factor, found in the blood OF most
persons, Is absent in this type OF
blood. This factor, they added, has
been known to medical science only
a few years.
OF all the people, it was explained

Under Guise Of News

BY the Associated Press.
MOUNT VERNON, N. Y, Dec. 16.
Kent Cooper, executive director of
the Associated Press, said last night
he hoped the United States never
would undertake foreign propa-
ganda in the guise of news"
Speaking at celebration marking
the 153d anniversary of the ratifi-
cation of the Bill Of Rights, Mr..
Cooper declared: "If we are worthy
of the heritage we got through that
grant of freedom, we, as citizens,
never will approve any step toward
peacetime propaganda dissemina-
tion by our Government.
There should be no doubt as to
what our Governments function as
respects news dissemination ought
to be.
Urges Authoritative Statement.
But because of rumors, an au-
thoritative statement of what pro-
posals have been made and what
ones are to have consideration, is
due the public as early as possible. +"
Mr., Cooper spoke at St. Paul's
Church in nearby Eastchester, ma
tional shrine of the Bill of Rights, -
and paid tribute to John Peter
zenger, pre-Revolutionary publisher,
who was arrested and imprisoned
for truthful reporting of an election
held on the village green adjoining
the church in 1873. Mr.. ZengerS S

Colonies.
James E. Stiles, former president
of the Newspaper Publishers As
sociation of New York State, and
former State Supreme Court Justice
Joseph NJ ProSkauer also addressed
the gathering in the 279-year-old
church.
Mr.. Cooper urged establishment of
worldwide untrammeled news, in
cluding freedom of information in
Germany"
Persistent Demand Needed.
BY this action, he said, I'VE will
convince ourselves that our country
never should involve itself in even a
first step that might lead us to a
practice of what brought on Ger
many's moral degradation as a ma
ton"
ut Is going to take the persistent
militant demand of our people to
