IF NAZIS WIN

DIVISION OF WORLD FOUR SPHERES OF INFLUENCE . SAN FRANCISCO, June 25 While thousands are predicting that the United States will enter the Avar within, three months, and neutrality has almost completely disappeared in the confines of Uncle Sam's territories, Secretary Wallace, of the Department of Agriculture, speaking at Bennington, Vermont, predicted that a German victory in Europe probably would result in division of the world into four great spheres of economic and political inilucnce. He listed them, in the order of their power, as follows: German-controlled areas of Europe arid Africa, plus Asiatic territories which once were British and French colonies; North and South America, with possibly Australia and New Zealand included; Russia; and Japan. "IT Germany wins,' 1 ' he said, "she will have the complete resources ol the European and African continents and a slave population of 400 million people." The secretary declared that Hitler looked upon the Western Hemisphere as Germany's "eventual happy hunting ground." "Once the leaders of the German regime have stolen the so ill of Elirope and subjugated its people, they hope to channel New World exports, to Europe through their own corporations, bartering in such a way as to create the maximum of economic nuisance value, looking toward eventual military penetration, in anticipation of the creation of military nuisance values which will yield either loot or conquest after the European model.'*
