Talk About Next War
Denounced by Black
By the Associated Press.


HOLLYWOOD, June 23.-Hugo l..
Black, associate justice OF the
United States Supreme Court, says
1t is time to expose blithe talk
about another war before the pres
ent war Is even over.
Il have no doubt that some Of
the men and women who have en-
gagged in this talk were honest and
well intentioned," declared Justice
Black, addressing 10000 persons last
night at a Russian War Relief pro-
gram In Hollywood Bowl. He added !:
But they do not realize that
they are following the Hitler line
and are making good the Hitler
prophecy that even should he fail,
the seeds that he had planted would
live after him. It was Hitler's dia-
bolic exploitation Of fear OF Dol
shevism' and 'plutocracy' which kept
the peace-loving nations divided
within and suspicious of one an
other and enabled him to strike
down by fear or by force one nation
after another, until he had brought
within his orbit virtually the whole
OF Western and Central Europe.
Some particularly clamorous
voices have been prophesying = war
with Russia. Those voices do not
represent the sentiments of the
overwhelming majority OF the
American people and those senti-
ments have no foundation In fact or
In reason except, insofar rs they
