Reports from ‘President Roosevelt band ‘other Administration - leaders * indicated that the : Administration “may undertake a campaign to sell ¥ the plan to the people of the United ‘\ “States first, and to the governments , 8nd people of the other American * republics later. retary of Agriculture Henry A. ‘Wallace's radio speech yesterday, in nection with the Chicago Unisity round-table forum, was con‘sidered a first step in this direction. . Wallace charged that Hitler is seeking ‘to create inter-American dissension as a prelude to attempted i gconomic domination of the West- : ern Hemisphere. He warned that if Great: 'Britafn

lean nations fail to present a ted front” economically, “Hitler ! ht easily dominate both North and South America.”
U. S. Chooses Preparedness
“Hitler's basic policy is one of *divide and conquer,” he said. “He od it to seize power within Ger-

ls fo U. s. Hooded Tor War? Here's What
Five Prominent Local Residents Believe
“Are we headed for. war?” Two of five prominent: “Indianapolis ‘residents, replying Wo that question today, said |“no.” Two answered “no,” with qualifications, and the fifth said we might if the Eauropean war lasts another year. All five said the United States should be Adequsiely prepared.
Their views are given below.
DR. STANLEY COULTER, member oft the Indiana ‘Committee for
| National Defense—"1 do not think
we are headed for war. - Buf we can’t avoid it if we let. things run. There are certain: things: which are, self-evident that we: ought to do, but are not doing because it interferes with our own business. The real question is whether there [is such a thing in the world as right or wrong. Selfishness is the basis of the whole thing. Our business is right here. I am in favor of furnishing the Allies fiscal and
moral help unstinungly, but not manpower. »
PROF. JOHN J. HARAMY, history ‘teacher * at Indiana Central College—“It is unwise for us now to drift into war. We are wholly unprepared. We can do very little to change the course of events In Europe’ Our policy of isolation,
{much as we hope it, can not keep us from becoming involved In difficulties with the dictator countries. Our best safeguard is immediate adequate preparation determined
by experts and not by politicians.”
’
MRS. JAMES Be MURRAY, president of the Indiana Congress of Parents and Teachers—"“We are not as it has developed so far.=There is
no necessity for wus getting in if there is no aggression against us. It depends, however, on the leadership of our country whether we do. I think that we. are so widely separated from the warring countries that there is no good reason for us getting into it. I am in favor of helping the British as much ‘as we can fo the extént of furnishing md-’
terials, but I am against sending]
troops across the sea.” ~~
GUY A. WAINWRIGHT, president
and general manager of the Diamond. Chain & Manufacturing Co. —*“No. Emphatically no. I think it would be a tragedy. We don’t belong in it. It’s a thing we can stay out of. We do have an interest in the war, but it would not serve the best interests of this country or the world to fight. They've been at it for 4000 years and nothing we could do would assure permanent peace. However, we should develop a national defense. If Germany should dominate the, world, the only argument she understands is force and we should have sufficient force to put up a good argument.”

HONGKONG, July 1 (U. P).— Evacuating Americans filled the .| liner President Coolidge to.capacity today while 1900 British wemen and children crowded aboard the liner Empress of Japan as fears grew of a Japanese attack on this British crown colony.

.at Hazard, Ky., last week afier he
had walked away from the Summit prison farm June 15. He was sen= tenced to the reformatory in 1920 on charges of grand larceny. Figuring in a escape in which a guard was slain, he was sentenced to life.
DR. DANIEL Ss ROBINSON, Butler University President—“If it lasts a year we probably are. I believe that-the war is one of the most decisive in the history of Western civilization. ~ A complete victory for the ‘Germans probably would change the main line of , £evo-~ lution of our whole culture” My sympathies are with the British, In spite of depressirig g news from-prop-aganda. bureaus’ of the’ oD I am firm fn the conviction the Alligs Sjentialy will win and save vilization from destruction by the Nazi horde.

Old-timers at the pier said they never had seen so many “strapped” in one arrival. One prominent neurologist, known on
