ABOUT THE WAR -
ROBERT LEY, Nazi Labor Front leader,
speaking of Adolf Hitler says that he is
waging war "in God-given natural mission"
to "bring Europe and the world to reason
and thereby make Europe and the world
happy."
VISCOUNT GORT, commander of the British
expeditionary forces in France says "We
are now on the eve of one of the great
moments in the history of our empire. The
struggle will be hard and long but we can
be confident of final victory."
PAUL VAN ZEELAND, former Belgian prem
ier, speaking in Des Moines, Iowa, said
the small nations of Europe hope "that the
might of the United States will sooner or
later be felt in favor of right."
What the aims of the German high com
mand in the great land offensive actually
are, of course remain a closely guarded
military secret. But in general it ap
pears that with The Netherlands at their
mercy and with key airports in that coun
try available to the Nazi air force, in
tensive bombing of the British Isles is a
present threat.
GEN. JOHN PERSHING,A. E. F. commander
in the last world war, in a rare public
statement says: "Preparedness is as neces
sary today as it wa8 when war was declared
in 1917, and we find ourselves in the same
condition .... every energy in this
country should be devoted to the idea of
putting the United States in a condition
of thoro preparedness against the possi
bility of war."
The editor of the LA JARA (Colo)GAZETTE
says: "We believe it would be the very
best use to which it could be put if the
federal government spent about one-half
of its army and navy appropriations firing
a million or more Nazis, Fascists,Commun
ists, aliens criminals and other undesir
ables. If this is not done we will have
airplanes that fall to pieces on their
first flight, cannons that explode on
their first shot, and battleships that
fail to float."
As witness: a Douglas bomber fell to
pieces on its first flight over San Diego
Bay this week, killing four - pilot, co
pilot, mechanic and an official of the
company,
TIME says: "... since May 10, remark
able changes have come over plain U.S.is
olationists: v/ith German Blitzkrieg in the
