Alexander Wiley, R., Wis, said today that America will not be led to war no matter whether the measure is passed. He told tho senate the war question depended on the following things: 1. What Adolph Hitler does. "2. What the American people decide. 3. What the political leadership cf the nation decides. He appealed to the senate and the American people to avoid hysterical statements and referred to the action of a group of women Wednesday. He said that he held no brief for some of Pepper's utterances, but: Every man in the senate is entitled to say what he believes. We need men with courage, men who will speak out on what they think to be the truth. Wiley said HiWer's lightning thrusts had demonstrated to the United States the need for preparedness. continued, he "we know, that if England falls the flames are likely to spread to the Americas. Under that circumstance, we'd have to put the fire out. Wiley has sponsored an amendment to require a separate vote by congress to put conscription into operation even if the" present bill is passed. The present bill would leave operation of the plan to the president. TWELVE DIE IN PLANE ACCIDENT Denver.

Most of Trotsky's followers blamed the Russian secret police, Ogpu, unreservedly for the assassination, but one member of the secretarial staff said nazi agents also might have been connected with it, because, he said, the and the Gestapo (nazi Ogpu secret police) have been cooperating closely in many matters of mutual interest in Mexico.

Guillot, a radical deputy representing the federal capital, shot himself to death.

The senate committee investigating the land scandal had accused Guillot of receiving bonds worth 7,500 pesos In the Palomar deal. Guillot shot himself at his home after four days of testimony before the senate committee in which he pleaded his innocence, but said if he could not convince his colleagues the changes against him were false he would take his own life. - importance to the national defense proand further development of construction the gram municipal airports.
