Millions Pin
 Hope on U. s.

John B. Hughes, radio commen- tator and war correspondent speak. ing before the Second Congrega- tional church forum last evening asserted 500 million dependent peo- ples in the Far East must be given full freedom before 0 sure peace can be established.
 Such minorities, the newspaper. man said, are turning to America for help in their fight for freedom because the United States has kept her word and granted independence to the Filipinos.
 The Japanese slogan "Asia fol the AsiaticS" has been taken tc heart by millions of people in the Far East, the speaker declared, and there is no propaganda powerful enough to counteract that slogan
 MT. Hughes further asserted that other Allied nations should assist the United States in controlling Japan.
 He was not of the opinion that the Communists would overrun European countries. He said Russia is handling the Chinese situation very fairly, and the United States will improve its relations with that country.
