Pittman Fears W
~ Britain, France Draft Alliance
Victors Will Seek to Make U. S. Pay, Senator Says.
(Copyright, 1938, by United Press) WASHINGTON, April 28.—Chairman Pittman (D. Nev.) of the Sen-
ate’s Foreign Relations Committee and foreign policy spokesman for the Administration in Congress, declared today that there is “imminent danger” of a world war which eventually may involve the United States. “Although we might keep out of a world war,” he said, “the victors, after such a war, might find it profitable to force us into war for the purpose of having us pay the bill for their conquest.” He expressed grave concern over European events, but added that the United States can do nothing to help settle the confused international situation, “Conferences would be absolutely futile,” he said. Senator Pittman is not worried about this country’s entrance into a foreign war. He believes that only an invasion of the United States or its territories could precipitate a declaration of war by this Government. He contended that the Neutrality Act was “sufficient” to preclude the United States’ entrance into a foreign struggle.
Calls Navy Insurance.
He discussed the foreign situation only a few hours after telling a Veterans of Foreign Wars delegation that President Roosevelt's billion-dollar naval expansion program is a peace insurance policy and that this country’s most effective means of preserving peace is by preparing for war. In event of a world war and a substantial victory by any group of nations, he said, “we would be threatened by the victors.” “It .is not beyond imagination that in the event that Germany had won the World War we might have had to defend ourselves against Germany and some other power. “We are not in any particular danger while a war is going on since the other nations are busy with one another. “A complete victory would destroy the balance of power, however, and the victor’s power is tremendously increased. We would have no allies and therefore -we naturally would be in danger from such a victorious
‘group of governments.
“If and when such a condition transpired, it would be too late to try and prepare for defense.”
British Power Stressed
Senator Pittman emphasized Great Britain's position in European affairs, asserting that she still holds the balance of power. “But no one knows whether she will exert that power,” he said. “It is evident that Hitler has the old German idea of Mittel Europa, and there is no doubt that Mussolini has the desire, if not the intention, of considerable expansion. “I have heard nothing that indicates even a weakening of the alliance between Mussolini, Hitler and Japan. Nor do I know of anything that would influence Hitler to postpone his aspirations except doubt as to what would be the attitude of Great Britain. “In other words, Great Britain is still the balance of power in Europe. Therefore, I should say that various governments in Europe would be inclined to govern their actions in their determination of how far Great Britain is going in maintaining the balance of power. “That is the reason I think war is still imminent.”
Vargas Decree
Hits Nazis
RIO DE JANEIRO. April 28 (U. P.) .—President Getulio Vargas issued a decree today prescribing expulsion of foreigners convicted of crimes agoinst the integrity of the state. It was designed, to his announced determination, to prevent entrance of fascism or communism into Brazil. Expulsion would become effective immediately after the completion of regular penalties, such as a jail sentence, for the following offenses: 1. Endangering public order, national security or the structure of national institutions. 2. Acting against the national economic life, the national dignity and the free exercise of public powers. . . Subversive acts. . Holding illegal meetings. . Sabotage. . Forging money or bonds. 7. Smuggling. : 8. Traffic in drugs or women or corrupting minors. The decree was a companion measure to one issued last week banning all foreign political activities and an order expelling from the country the “chief of the Third Reich agents,” operating in Brazil. The decrees were believed to be aimed particularly at Nazi groups.

GORING DECREE HITS U, S. JEWS
American Embassy to Ask Statement in Terms Of Treaty.
BERLIN, April 28 (U. P.).—The American Embassy plans to ask the German Government for clarification of the decree authorizing Field Marshal Hermann Goering, nomic dictator, to “utilize” properties of foreign as well as German Jews, it was understood today. Any clarifying information will be forwarded at once to the State Department, so that the United States will know the actual intentions of the German Government as regards property of Jews who are American citizens. Speculation in foreign diplomatic and business quarters was centered on the degree to which Marshal Goering might apply his ‘“utilization” decree, whose language was indefinite and made it impossible to tell whether any sort of confiscatory measures were planned or whether foreign Jews actually would be made to give up property they owned in Germany. Foreign diplomatic envoys studied trade treaties to see whether they covered Marshal Goering’s decree. The question was raised at ‘once whether the United States-Ger-man Treaty of 1935 was applicable in so far as the decree might affect American citizens of Jewish origin who. own property in Germany, whether they reside here or not.
Loyalist Hand Grenade Brigade Wiped Out
HENDAYE, April 28 (U. P).— Spanish Rebel forces wiped out the 22d Loyalist Brigade in a “battle of hand grenades” north of Castellon de la Plana today while warships off the Mediterranean shore shattered Loyalist coastal defenses and halted communications along the railroad and highway. The Loyalists advanced against the Rebels’ lines, using only hand grenades. Poor visibility because of low hanging clouds prevented the use of artillery and aviation. Thousands of cases of hand grenades were brought up to the front in relays and the Loyalists went over the top. They were met with such intense fire that most of the
| 22d brigade was killed, wounded or
captured. It was estimated that
€co--
more than 600 were killed and 200 taken prisoner.
Japanese Ready
To Storm Railroad
SHANGHAI, April 28 (U. P).— Japanese spokesmen said today their troops were ready to storm the strongly-fortified Lunghai railroad in a major drive to encircle Suchow, the “gateway” to Hankow. Chinese reports admitted that the Japanese were within “several miles” of the railroad southwest of Tancheng and about 50 miles east of Suchow. The reports indicated that the Japanese drove 15 miles southward from Tancheng and occupied Pihsien. Chinese military spokesmen said, however, that a counter-drive had broken up a Japanese ofIensive against Iaokou, 15 miles southwest of Tancheng, while a flanking unit attacked the Japanese rear lines at Kwantimiao, six miles to the west.
COUGHLIN MAGAZINE LATE
DETROIT, April 28 (U. P.).—Publication of this week’s issue of Social Justice, the Rev. Fr. Charles E. Coughlin’s weekly magazine, was held up today while the radio priest and the Morris Press exchanged accusations of contract breaking.
Statesmen Reach Accord On All Points Talked Today.
LONDON, April 28 (U. P.)— British and French statesmen swiftly reached full agreement on all points of today’s conversations designed to formulate a virtual alliance in peace time or in war. At the conclusion of the talks a communique was issued saying that “full agreement has been reached on all points discussed” at today’s meeting. : The delegations will meet again tomorrow to resume discussion on a prospective union closer than anything since the dramatic days of 1914. The closest possible co-operation of the British and French Armies, Navies and Air Forces was expected to result, as well as an agreement
under which France would get|’
credits to permit her to share in
purchases of American and Cana-| | dian war planes.
Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and Viscount Halifax, Foreign Secretary, for Britain, and Premier Edouard Daladier and Foreign Minister Georges Bonnet, began their talks at 10 Downing Street.
