Lord Halifax, British foreign secretary, told Adolf Hitler and the world tonight we shall not stop fighting until freedom for ourselves and others is secure." In a broadcast to the empire and the United States, Halifax rejected Hitler's demand, voiced in a speech before the reichstag in Berlin Friday, that Great Britain surrender or be destroyed. We never wanted war and cerwar tainly no one here wants thenecesto go on a day longer than sary, Halifax said. He added, however, the British would continue to fight until their objectives had been realized. Referring directly to Hitler's address, Halifax continued: Many of you will have read two days ago the speech In which Hitler summoned Britain to capitulate to his will. I will not waste your time by dealing with Hitlers distortions of almost every mean event since the war began. He says he has no desire to destroy the British Empire, but there was in his speech no suggestion that peace must be based on justice, no word of recognition that other nations of Europe have any right to the principle he has so often invoked for Germany. His only appeal was to the base instinct of fear, his only . FOUR INJURED IN CANYON ACCIDENT state legislature.

Read To Congress The President's message was read to congress while the foreign ministers of the American republics were discussing hemispheric policies and cooperation in Havana. The message was regarded as a bid to that gatnering to cooperate with the United States. The increased authorization would give the export-impobank a total capitalization and loan authority of $700,000,000. 7he President emphasized he dcUF'tiot intend to discourage by export-impoloans the normal exbetween change of commodities other countries and the Americas.

The Rumanians are reaching a stage where they will have to decide whether to continue to be and eventually lose Transylvania and Dobruja, or to accept communism and gain Stalins help to keep these two provinces. This newly developing complication in southeastern Europe is especially disquieting to Mussolini, who believes any advance of communism through the Balkans spells danger to Italy. At the same time Stalin's present ambitions are heading him toward critical situation if Ger. many and Italy should win the present war. Victorious Germany and Italy would certainlv not rest content to see communist menaces in eastern Europe and the Balkans increase in power. Russia would have to be put in her place even at the cost of a new war. There is no doubt Stalin knows this fact well. He must know also his army would stand no chance against the German forces in their present condition of which efficiency. That can only mean he would not relish a German and Italian victory. If, however, Germany were partly to exhaust herself by trying to invsxle Britain and if the attack were to fail, every consideration of prudence would counsel talin to deliver the final blow to prevent German post-wa- r domination. Thus, the war may suddenly its change complexion within the next few months. Such considerations as these have much bearing on Germanys present peace drive and, likewise, on Britain's determination to accept no peace at Hit- ler's price. Providence Royalty high school.
