Senator Cain. Republican. of WASH
ington, Senate War Investigat-
ing Committee member, on per-.
sonally conducted inspection Of
the mammoth $25,000,o0o Hughes

sance plane, also on the commit
tees scrutiny list.
Mr.. Hughes himself took the Army
experimental craft aloft on a two
hour test while Senator Cain told
newsmen:
From what can see, this is an
excellent plane, but that's not the
point of this investigation. This
may be the finest plane in the
world, but what we are trying to
do Is determine whether there was
any reason for building it."
The producer welcomed Senator
Cain with:
WlS1l llle cltlIe COlIll1llIGee
could see the ships"
Senator Cain said his inspection
was preparatory to resumption of
COMMITTEES, hearings in November
into S40,000,00o contracts let to
Hughes aircraft firms for the two
types controversial planes.
Regarding the giant flying boat,
which is nearing completion, the
Senator told newsmen it was mot
ordered as an experiment but as
means of whipping the submarine
menace by carrying large quantities
Of cargo by air"
Senator Cain, referring to MIR.
Hughes recent testimony in Wash
ington, added; Il can't believe that
Hughes actually said he had never
promised that his flying boat would
fly"
After landing the Kill, Mr..
Hughes replied; Nobody ever
promises an experimental plane will
fly"
Mr.. Hughes planned to take the
photo plane up for another test be-
fore escorting the Senator to the
giant craft with the 32o-foot
wingspread.

Krupp had no intention OF deliver
ing"

withholding war material from other
intended victims of the Nazi war

plundered Austria, the Netherlands
Greece. Russia and Yugoslavia.

works turned out the Gustav gun
which shell Sevastopol, the Nazi T.
boats and the armament of such
sea raiders as the Graf Spec. He

A partial teri OF Secretary OF
State Marshnlrs address in Chi
cdgo last night on. American for
eign policy tollows:'
The American people, I believe,
have a sound understanding OF
the basic principles and objec-
tipes of our foreign policy. These
have been expressed on many oc-
casions by responsible officials
of this Government beginning
with the President. They are un-
derstandable. I believe, to you
all because they have their origin
in the American conscience and
in the deeply rooted traditions
of our people. No American, I
am sure, questions the desirability
of this country promoting where
ever it can the right of people to
govern themselves and the rule
of impartial law as against the
exercise of arbitrary power. These
principles require no elaboration.
Due to the Nazi attempt to
subjugate the entire European
community, Europe was plunged
into a great war. The central
question that arose at the end of
this war was in effect what was
to be the future of this European
community. Was it to be re-
stored to position of stability
so it could work out its own prob
lem. or was it to be kept in a
state of permanent dependency
and eventual absorption into
system alien to it's traditions and
civilization?
1t is generally recognized that
the major responsibility for final
ly crushing Nazism devolved upon
three powers, none of which can
be strictly classed as a continen-
tai European state. The efforts
of two of these powers have been
consistently directed since the
military victory toward the resto-
ration Of the European COM
munity to its former status .
Unfortunately, it. has become
APPARENT that the third great
power contributed so much to
the common victory evidently
does not share that purpose. For
reasons that are still obscure, it
is endeavoring APPARENTLY to pro-
long the present unsatisfactory
state of affairs indefinitely. II
this purpose prevails, obviously
the prosperous European COM
munity we knew before the war
cannot be re-established within
the foreseeable future.
Not Due to Direct Clash.
This brings me to an important
conclusion. 1t is this divergence
of purpose concerning the future
Of Europe which is the cause of
many Of the present differences

ciency and German foreign trade
Is only a small fraction of its
former dimension. In fairness
to the American taxpayer who
has been contributing hundreds
Of millions Of dollars annually to
support the people in the Amer
ican zone, Germany must be
made self-supporting as quickly
as possible. With safeguards
against any revival of German
militarism and with measures
to assure the utilization of the
basic products of the Ruhr for
the good Of the European COM
munity as whole, I believe that
Europe and the world will be
adequately protected against the
danger Of future German domi-
nation. In these circumstances
1t should be possible to proceed
to the establishment of a provi-
sional central authority in a
federated German state, and to
the final framing of a peace
settlement. We shall earnestly
endeavor at the conference in
London to make progress along
these lines. -

relationship Of Germany to a re-
stored Europe. There Is an i'm.
perative necessity for safeguards
to insure that the economic pow
er of Germany shall not be used
by a future German government
as a weapon for the further
ance Of exclusively German poll
cies. This poses admittedly a
complicated and difficult prob
lem. An attempt artificially to
limit German peacetime economy
could easily prevent the essential
revival of German production to
an extent that would render i'm
possible the economic revival Of
Europe.
The answer to the problem
would appear to relate primarily
to the future role and function
ing Of the great industrial COM
pick in the Ruhr. The United
States believes that safeguards
must be set UP to insure that the
resources and industrial poten-
tial of the Ruhr, particularly in
respect of coal and steel, should
not be left under the exclusive
control of any. future German
government but should be used
for the benefit of the European
community as a whole.
German Recovery Lags.
The charge has frequently
been made that the United
States, in its policy, has sought
to give priority or intends to
give priority to restoration Of
Germany ahead of those Of the
other countries Of Europe. The
truth is that far from having
been accorded a preference over
any Allied country, German re-
covery has Jagged 50 far behind
that of the other countries of
Europe as to retard the whole
effort for European recovery. At
the. present time industrial pro-
duction in Western Germany is
less than one-half that of pre-
war. The food supplies are
seriously below the minimum re-
quirement for health and eff
