Defense Only Interest
OF u. S. Hull Declares

In a public statement issued last
night, Secretary of State Hull de-
clared American Lease Lend aid to
Great Britain was prompted solely
in the interest of the defense of this
Nation and was in no way an incite-
ment to Japan's attack on Pearl
Harbor.
The Secretary's remarks were i'm
PEELED by a reported statement by
Capt. Oliver Lyttleton, British Min
lister of Production, implying that
Americas policy of aiding Britain
had involved this country in the
war.
Unfortunately the statement of
the British Minister of Production is
entirely in error as to the facts and
fails to state the true attitude of the
United States both during the earlier
stages OF military preparation for
world conquest by Germany and ia
pan and during the later aggressions
by those two countries" Mr.. Hull
said.
This Government from the be-
ginning to the end was actuated by
the single policy of self-defense
against the rapidly increasing dam
ger to this Nation. The aid given to
Great Britain and other countries
who were resisting conquests was, in
the words Of the Lease-Lend Act
vital to the defense of the United
States
Japan for years had notoriously
pursued program OF the widest
conquest In 1881 she seized Man
churia; in 1887 she invaded China;

ton which did not include the tray

ographic record of his talk.
In his revised statement Capt
Lyttelton said:
Il wish to make the point that the
Americans did not wait until they
had entered the war before showing
where their sympathies lay, and the
aid which they gave Britain will al
ways be remembered with the live
liest sense of gratitude.
This aid was of course directed to
the war against Germany and could
not have been regarded as provo
cation by peace minded Japan. But
the japanese aggressor chose to re-
gard it as a provocation and made
the unjustified and treacherous at
tack at Pearl Harbor."
Lord Beaverbrook's Daily Express
said that in view of the use which
might be made of the luncheon
statement, "a serious view was taken
of the incident. 1t is probable that
official steps will be taken to cor
rect any misunderstanding which
may exist in the United States"
The Daily Mail used the headline
"A Speech Enrages America; Mis-
quotations of Lyttelton." 1t said
the press report appears to have
been due to mishearing or mis-
understanding"
The Washington correspondent of
the Mail cabled
The anti-British press is prepar-
ing the biggest play of the story for
tomorroW's newspapers as they have
been using the same argument
against President Roosevelt for
months and are jubilant that a
British minister should apparently
have given substance to their allie
cations"

planned today that last nights state
ment was not intended as verba-
tim report of the remarks but was
what he said as nearly as he could
remember it and certainly was what
he intended to say"

CHICAGO, June 81. -- Federal
Judge William j. Campbell said
yesterday lit is my most unpleasant
duty ito dismiss" charge against
Walter Francis Bober, rs, of vio-
lating the sedition laws by at
tempting to cause INSTRUMENTATION
and disloyalty among members of
the armed forces.
The court said he had no other
alternative under a recent Supreme
Court decision which freed another
Chicago defendant, Elmer HartzelL
in similar case, holding that wilfull
intent was not established.
The Government accused Bober of
suggesting in letters to his brother,
Pvt. Raymond Bober. that Raymond
try to get out of the Army and that
both of them go to Germany.
"If this defendant had been in
Germany, the country he loves, ac-
cording to his letters, and written
these letters. he would be. lined up
against a wall and shot in "a hours" !"
Judge Campbell asserted. He rec
commended to the Government
that his own decision in

.CoIored Civic Leader
Raps NCHA Theories

A sharp attack on the perform
ance and the apparent theories"
of the National Capital Housing
Authority was made yesterday by
DR.. E. F. Harris, president of the
Federation of Civic Associations,
representing % colored citizen
bodies.
In letter to Chairman McGehee
of the House District subcommittee
nsidering bills on Washington s
slum clearance and rehousing pro-
grams, DR.. Harris took issue with
some colored groups which have
supported the NCHA.
He asked that the civic federation
be recorded as holding:
81. That a public housing law is
necessary, because we believe it is
as much the responsibility of the
State to provide decent living con-
ditions for its INDECENT as it is in
other avenues of welfare and
health.
2. That the record of the present
local housing administration, prior
to the declaration of hostilities, has
been such as to lead us to consider
it grossly incompetent, neglectful
and blind to the real need Of the
law. It's apparent theories have
been incompatible with the purpose
and intent of Congress in enacting
such legislation.
g. Local housing should be
treated as local problem, not Fed
eral; therefore the policy making
body should fall under the juris-
diction of the Commissioners of the
District and be composed of citizens
interested in and familiar with the
problem and those affected thereby" /"

The warnings given to Mr. Pro-
cope were not delivered in official
form, but were conveyed informally.
While the political situation in
Helsinki is still obscure, it seems
evident to authorities here that the
cabinet probably will be reorganized
soon. The Firms. it was said, have
doubted all along that the United
States and Great Britain would be
able to establish and maintain a
beachhead in France. Now that this
has been accomplished. they realize
that the possibility of Germany's
winning the war is very remote.
AS authorities here view the situ-
alton. the Firms must either go into
an all-out effort to help Germany
or start an immediate peace drive,
basing their future hopes on the
possibility of American diplomatic
support at the peace conference.
1t is assumed here that the poll
cies of the new Finnish government
