HUNGER IS HITLER LEVER ON EX-FOES

Hoover Committee Claims That Empty Stomachs Make Workers in Invaded Democracies Accept Nazi ‘New Order,” Hate America and Britain.

By WILLIAM-

Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, May 6.—Just as cold-bloodedly as he has used dive-bombers and tanks to achieve his military objectives, reports received here show that Hitler is now using food as a weapon to win the peoples of the invaded

democracies over to his “new

In Belgium, France, Holland, Norway and wherever hunger exists, the Nazis, according to these reports, are taking great care to explain to the people that it is their “friends” of the democracies”; —

—the British and the Americans—who are systematical-

ly depriving them of food. 3y the same token, whenever food is distributed by the Germans, they take similar pains to make the recipients understand that the \ are not so cruel—that, conrs though they are, they the heart to stand by and the Britisn and ve the people to death. Workers Won by Food

In his speech last Sunday, Hitler boasted that today half the workEurope are now at his beck call—in factories, on farms, in mines and elsewhere. Eyewitnesses report, however, that the he gets his workers is to offer them adequate rations, not only for themselves but for their families. y offer, of course, is only to the young and able-bodied. Nor is it often made in vain. To a man with an empty stomach and with hungry children and other dependents to feed, allegiance to an ideology tends to dim—especially when that his “friends” have deserted him and ‘ stubbornness” on his part means the concentration camp

For patently the Nazis will pass along the entire weight of the food blockade to| the occupied countries.

| LONDON, May 6.—Charges that| .

| Herbert Hoover, at one time, was |

‘prepared to collaborate with leading isolationists in framing a campaign | against the Lend-Lease Bill (now | law) are made in a letter to the] London Times today by the Rev. | Henry P. Van Dusen of Union| Theological Seminary in New York. According to these charges, former President Hoover attended a secret meeting at the Washington home of William R. Castle, former Undersecretary of State, together with | the foremost opponents of the bill, including Senators Robert A. Taft (Rep. 0.) and Arthur Vandenberg and was asked by them to draft a series of proposals. “Subsequently,” the Rev. Mr. Van Dusen states, “members of Hoover's Committee for Food for the Small Democracies persuaded him that his opposition to the Lend-Lease bill was injuring his feeding scheme. He then declared his qualified incdorsement of the bill.” Replies to Hoover Letter The Rev. Mr. Van Dusens letter is in reply to a letter to the London | Times, printed April 16, in which | Hoover charged the Rév. Mr. Van | Dusen with making a “wholly in-| accurate presentation of my views

in the periodical, “Christianity and the Crisis.” In his letter, Mr. Hoover defended his feeding scheme and protested his friendship for England. The Rev. Mr. Van Dusen’'s letter makes four separate accusations in support of his previous article. He quotes first from Hoover's address of Sept. 18, 1940, to show that Mr. Hoover felt, in his own words, “it would seem likely that totalitarian domination of Germany and Italy will cover most of the Continent of Europe from Russia and will also include much of the dependencies of these former BEuropean states in Africa and the Bast Indies.” Link to Lindbergh Indirect

He then goes on to mention the secret meeting at Mr. Castle's home

posed the Lend-Lease Bill. In the third place, he points out, “in political matters, Hoover's closest associate is Mr, Castle, who is an intimate adviser of (Charles A) Lindbergh, Finally, he makes the charge that “more than once in private conversation, Mr. Hoover has declared his determination to ‘force’ the British Government to accept his proposals.”

INDUSTRY ASKS SALES TAX WASHINGTON, May 6 (U. P).— Organized industry, through the National Association of Manufacturers, asked Congress today to consider levying a general retail sales tax and broadening the individual income tax base,

is threatening serious complications. It started with Secretary of State James Tucker's appointment of R. Lowell McDaniel of Wilkinson as deputy secretary in charge of the Auto License Bureau. Just where it will wind up is a matter of speculation wherever G. O. P. members gather.

In the first place, Mr. McDaniel's appointment did not come through the regular party organization channels. Mr. Tucker says it was a “personal” appointment. And more important, say some high in G. O. P. leadership, is the close identification of Mr. MecDaniel with Burrell Wright, attorney for liquor interests and former State Committee treasurer. They claim this is a move by Mr. Wright anc his followers to regain control of the party after several months on the outside looking in. They point out that the position of State Chairman Arch N. Bobbitt is none too secure, especially with the patronage program tied up in court. Battle lines are being drawn for the fight likely to follow settlement of the court suits. And the anti-Wright forces are eyeing the McDaniel appointment suspiciously. ”

Hancock Drafts Protest

JOHN NIGH, Hancock County chairman, is preparing a letter to be sent to all county and district chairmen and vice chairmen protesting the McDaniel appointment. “We want them to know,” he said, “that we had no voice in the appointment, Mr. McDaniel’s name was not approved by his precinct or township committeeman, by myself or the district chairman for any appointment. IY wasn’t even submitted to us.”

Two months ago, when the first rumors of Mr. McDaniel’s likely appointment to the post began floating around, six party leaders from his area, including the county and district chairmen, called on Mr. Tucker. They asked, according to Mr. Nigh, that no appointments be made without the customary indorsements and presented some petitions to buck up their plea. They also lodged their protest against Mr. McDaniel. That was the last they heard of the matter until the appointment was made last Thursday, Mr. Nigh said.

Tucker Waits Reaction

JUST HOW MUCH, if any, this will backfire on Mr. Tucker's plans for 1944 and the U. S. Senate race remains to be seen. Some party leaders say that several district chairmen already have expressed open opposition to this appointment and to all others made without going through the regular party channels. Of course, some of the opposition may be pacified with Iucrative auto license branch office ap-

pointments which bring in from |

$3000 to $10,000 a year. Eventually these 130 places will be filled by Mr. Tucker® as well as the 200 or more jobs in the State House bureau. Mr. Tucker's task then will be to nominate and elect his successor in 1942 to keep control of the new organization. The young secretary's second term will end in January, 1943, and he can not succeed himself.

Personal Selection

MR. TUCKER'S contention is that in selecting a deputy to administer a State Bureau which handles $12,500,000 annually, he is entitled to make a personal appointment—a close friend in whom he has confidence and trust. The remaining appointments will be made on a patronage basis, coming through the regular list of approvals, Mr. Tucker indicated. Mr. McDaniel’s supporters also insist that a majority of the district chairman have approved the new license staff, and included in the list reported to be favorable are Ralph Gates and Ewing Emison, rival faction leaders, and Ivan C. Morgan, former state chairman, 2 2 on

Would Get Patronage

IF THE REPUBLICAN “decentralization” program, giving G. 0. P. control of patronage setup, should be upset by the courts, Mr. Tucker would have at his disposal practically all of the patronage, excepting bipartisan board and commission appointments, available to the party. This would give him a powerful hand in the upcoming battle for control of the State organizaton. And there's not much question about this being one of the first shots in that battle. From now on, the blasting likely will be terrific.

There also is the question of time involved in loading and unloading cargoes. Increased rapidity in this work is the equivalent of adding to available ships by increasing the number of voyages each vessel can make in a year.

During the World War, various inefficiencies existed concerning such matters and there is reason to believe there still is room for improvement. Parliamentary debate may be able to point to remedial action. It will be difficult to direct any major criticism against the British Navy for the way it is conducting the blockade of Continental Europe. There appear to be few leaks. The continent is practically isolated

for the comparatively small traffic from the Orient over the Russian railways. Good Judgment in Greece

In the Mediterranean, the British fleet has shown a high degree of efficiency, especially in the eastern basin. The Italian fleet has been largely immobilized and though German transports succeeded in carrying troops to Libya, that was predominantly while the British warships were occupied with safeguarding British help to Greece.

CHIEF POST IN ABC

STUDIES PLEA FOR BOMBERS

‘War Cabinet’ Called Into Session; Wickard Gets New Duties.

(Continued from Page One)

Gen. Arnold, Mr. Hopkins and Rear Admiral John H. Towers, Chief of the Navy Bureau of Aeronautics.

Study Bomber Output

“That conference will dwell on the needs as the President outlined them in his letter yesterday—needs for stepping up big bomber production,” Mr. Early said. Then he disclosed that the conference also would receive from Gen. Arnold a detailed report on the data gathered during his visit

to England. There appeared little doubt that

Mr. Roosevelt's order to step up heavy bomber production under a hard-boiled system of priorities resulted directly from the data returned to this country by Gen. Arnold. That program is reported to be for an eventual goal of 500 bombers a month. Mr. Roosevelt's instructions to Secretary Wickard, of Indiana, on the functions of his new division, said that it would: 1. Serve as a clearing house to bring into focus agricultural needs and problems as they relate to

2. Facilitate co-ordination of defense operations by various bureaus

3. Assist the Secretary in main-

munication between the Agriculture Department and defense agencies

Auto Production Cut

Automobile production here, already initially reduced by 20.15 per cent to make way for munitions, now is expected to be curtailed The United Press was in-

manufacture were especially needed and that the automobile industry might be called on further for that purpose. It is understood that Mr. Roosevelt's expanded bomber production program will be carried out in part at least in the new $1,500,000,000 munitions plant project being developed by the War Department. It will provide for at least two new assembly plants for big bombers and four new engine assembly plants and also for expansion of existing facilities. The emergency bomber order was revealed last night in a letter addressed by Mr. Roosevelt to Secretary Stimson asserting that defense of the United States and other democracies “requires that there be a substantial increase in heavy bomber production.”

Pleases War Department

The letter also was a notification, quickly acclaimed in the War Department, of a hard-boiled priority system which would assure that the wants of civilian consumers would not be permited to hinder bomber production by cluttering up plants and machines which otherwise would be devoted to the national defense effort. In Los Angeles the general reaction of Pacific Coast aircraft manufacturers to the President's demand was that they already were producing at nearly top capacity. West Coast manufacturers produce more than 60 per cent of the country’s military planes.

Eimer Roberts, 45, of 5673 Guilford Ave. the pilot, was flying at an altitude of about 450 feet, according to witnesses. The plane went into a dive and “near-spin,” one wing striking the earth and the other striking a utility pole. The plane skidded 30 feet and nosed over into a clump of bushes. The simultaneous impact of the ground and the utility pole on each wing prevented a nose-dive into the ground. The motor was only

least 80 per cent of their expeditionary corps after the Greek Government had authorized their removal. As events turned out, following the quick collapse of Jugoslavia, it would have been impossible for the British to have done more than they did, even though more troops had been sent. The Germans had overwhelming reserves and the result of the battle of Greece showed the British had exercised good judgment in the size of their army and the strategy employed.

Tripoli May Be Discussed

It may be possible for Parliament to criticize the Army of the Nile for not following through the Libyan campaign all the way to Tripoli. This question, however, involves the weakening of Gen. Wavell's command because of the call from Greece and it is concerned likewise with the technical problem of how many troops should be kept in Great Britain to prevent invasion. The propaganda issue is likely to lead to some queries, allied with the work of the foreign office. Parliament may wish especially to know how the situation in Iraq got out of hand through long-distance German intrigue. But foreign relations arg difficult to discuss in public, during critical times and such matters as British relations with Turkey cannot be debated in

the open with advantage at this

‘Hitler's Plans for Empire’—By

less than $3,500,000,000 in the first year of occupation. This is an interesting footnote to 20 years of German propaganda against the alleged iniquities of the Diktat of Versailles. Under the Versailles treaty Germany had paid only some $9,000,000,000 by 1932 when reparations were scrapped. Thus the French in one year have paid nearly half of all the reparations paid by Germany.

n n ” THE CHARGE AGAINST the French is based on the cost of an army of occupation numbering

8,000,000 men. Actually the Germans have quartered only 3,000,000 in France. Thus two-thirds of the sum charged is pocketed by the Germans. The stolen twothirds has been used to buy control of French factories from the French shareholders. This provides a tremendous loot for the Nazi higher-ups and they control most of the French factories now working for Germany TI'ifty per cent of French industry is at work again, it is estimated, and of this only 5 per cent works for French consumption. Groaning under such a burden, the French have alternately hoped that it would be lessened and feared it would be increased. It has proved an effective weapon in German hands as well as the most colossal instance of looting in modern history. The final and most important of Hitler's weapons has been control over some 2,000,000 French prisoners of war held in German camps. There is scarcely a French family that does not wait for some loved one, Whenever he has

French had to come on bended knee to ask the Germans for permission to cross an arbitrary line which generally was closed hermetically. The Germans opened and closed that frontier ruthlessly but cleverly. Three weeks ago they shunted across nine boxcars filled with 119 lunatics from an insane asylum. Vichy couldn't send them back. Vichy had to take them, find asylum for them and learn again to laugh in the guttural way at the German sense of humor. : ” on ”n ’ IT IS NO WONDER that even Petain, long-suffering and silent, cried out: “The line of demarcation is a halter around the throat of France.” The Germans designed it as such and they have had a genius for knowing when to tighten until it hurts. Not least of its harmful effects, of course, has been the division of Frenchmen, for the people in the occupied zone who feel the weight of the German heel cry out that Vichy lets them down in order to spare itself trouble, while Vichy says that the people in the occupied zone, thinking only of their own misery, forget that Petain must play a patient and diplomatic game with the conquerors. Hitler's second card has been reparations levied on the excuse of the army of occupation. The French are compelled to pay 400,000,000 francs a day. At this rate

shake the French, Hitler has hinted that these prisoners might be released or reminded the French that they can still be held. In the main they are under the supervision of German officers who were prisoners in the last war and know the prisoner's phychol= ogy but there is always the possi=bility of putting Nazi Storm Troopers over them.

” ” » MANY A FRENCH WOMAN, with that shrewdness which characterizes them, know that the only hope for France is revolt in an effort to facilitate an Anglo-Saxon victory over Germany. Many a French woman knows that Hitler’s promises of the early return of prisoners is a cynical and cruel lie. But almost all French women forget those things if they have their own husband or son in a German camp. A mother always nurses the illusion that her boy is coming back—a wife knows that her man is still alive. These three weapons have sufficed. Hitler has never had to fear that Petain would send the fleet or the Empire to Britain. With these three cards Hitler has divided Frenchmen geographically, disunited them politically and paralyzed their wills. In the face of them no national sentiment has crystallized. He must have chuckled, sitting in Berchtesgaden, to see how well the technique employed in the Saar and the Sudetenland and now being undertaken in America has worked in France. It is the technique of exploiting the individual’'s personal fears and personal aspirations until a national sentiment seems too costly, too risky.
