ADVICE TO AMERICA MENACE OF NAZISM AID TO DEMOCRACIES (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) (Received March 19, 3.15 p.m.) WASHINGTON, March 18 Mr Cordell Hull, testifying - at the hearing by the Appropriations Committee of the House of Representatives, to-day, urged the nation to “go full out’’ in aiding the countries which are resisting aggression, so that the would-be conquerors would not be in a position to deal with the United States aii they have been dealing with Europe and Asia. Mr Hull, in urging the committee to give approval to the British aid appropriation of 7,000,000,000 dollars, pointed out that in the last two months still more territory had been conquered and several more are on the list for immediate seizure and subjugation. Upon the seas the menace of death and disaster has grown,’’ said Mr Hull. “This country should no longer have any illusions as to the nature or magnitude of the dangers confronting us. We cannot stint. We must not falter.” CZECHS AND POLES BRITISH MINISTER’S TRIBUTE PART IN WINNING WAR BESTIAL NAZI TYRANNY (United Press Assn.-—Elec. Tel. Copyright) LONDON, March 17 The Minister of Economic Warfare, Dr. Hugh Dalton (says a British official wireless message), speaking at a luncheon given by the first artillery detachment of the First Czecho-Slovak Brigade, said: T remember Dr. Benes saying to me in 1934, when Hitler’s bloodhands had held power for a year, ‘lf war should come, I know that where England is there is victory.’ I recalled those words with a sense of shame in September, 1938. I recall them now with a thrill of pride. “I have seen today Czecho-Slovak troops, sturdy and resolute, who will play their part in winning the war and liberating their countrymen from the bestial German tyranny which today holds them in its grip. “Alter 1918 you tasted 20 years of freedom and achieved great things in many fields. You set a civilised example which our German enemies ot today might, well have followed. “Your freedom and your right to live your own national life shall be restored to you in the new Europe of tomorrow. But in that new Europe, as the bitter history of many generations shows, no State can safely stand alone, least of all if it has the Germans for its neighbour. f “I wish, therefore, to congratulate most warmly the Czecho-Slovak and Polish leaders, Dr. Benes and General Sikorsky, on the intimate collaboration of their Governments. A close Polish and Czecho-Slovak union would not only have great value in itself, but might become the nucleus of a much wider federal structure in Central Europe.” EGYPT’S POLICY SUPPORT FOR DEMOCRACIES TRIUMPH OF LIBERTY (United Press ass:.. —Sler.
