Wallace told congress today that Adolf Hitler probably would launch a victorious Germany on an economic war against this country that might be the "prelude "pre-lude to the use against us of armed arm-ed force." Wallace's warning was contained contain-ed in an annual report on agriculture agricul-ture department activities for the 1940 fiscal year, prepared while he was secretary of agriculture. He said even economic warfare with Germany would be "extremely "extreme-ly formidable and extremely dangerous dan-gerous to our security." Should Germany win the war with Britain, Wallace said, the world probably would be divided for a time into four great spheres of influence: (1) The German-controlled German-controlled sphere of Europe, Africa and the territories which once were the British and French colonies col-onies of asia; (2) North and South America, with possibly Australia Aus-tralia and New Zealand; (3) Russia; Rus-sia; and (4) Japan. He said a combination of the three spheres outside the new world would have a population three times that of North and South America and their potential Pacific partners and could apply "economic pincers" through government gov-ernment dominated trading corporations cor-porations which might control the purchase of all western hemisphere hemis-phere agricultural exports to Europe. nsiv attac:i (Continued from Page One) trans-Mediterranean naval operations opera-tions whereby the British. have convoyed war materials straight across the Inland sea and through the narrow way between Italian Sicily. Pantelleria and North Africa, might be ended. This would mean that henceforth all supplies to provision and reinforce the fronts in Africa and Albania would have to be moved by the roundabout Cape of Good Hope route. It would add new strain to the hard-pressed British merchant mer-chant fleet. Air Action Restricted German air action over Britain was restricted. Attacks were Made on Bristol and a south coast jity, but firemen and volunteers took the Nazi fire-bombs in their stride. The smouldering war between French Indo-China and Thailand flamed up today. Reports from Saigon, French Indo-China, said French warships sank two Thailand Thail-and warships in the Gulf of Siam and damaged a third in the first naval battles between the two forces except for river gunboat skirmishes. Advices from the frontier described de-scribed the battles along the border bor-der of the two countries as "far more serious" than has been realized. real-ized. Importance of the far eastern conflict has been repeatedly emphasized em-phasized in suggestions Japan might Intervene in support of Thailand in order to l&rther her ambitions for pushing into the south Pacific. A new crop of rumors broke out in the uneasy Balkans. As usual they appeared more sensational sensa-tional than substantial.' Greece said her troops were attacking at-tacking heights above Klisura and the action might lead to the fall of Tepelini. Capture of Tepelini would enable the Greeks to step up the tempo of their advance toward to-ward Valona and Berat. Another rumor was spiked at Vichy when a German-inspired report re-port that the French cabinet had quit was officially denied. STAR GETS DIVORCE HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 17 (U.D Dolores Del Rio, Mexican-born movie star, today divorced Cedric Gibbons, film art director. She said her husband's "cold and indifferent" in-different" attitude broke up their 10-year marriage which had been regarded in Hollywood as a "perfect "per-fect romance." 7(7& KeHeve RTissry Willi D.-7.-n.
