PROSPECT
GOEBBELS' Interesting Juxtaposition Of
American Aid Problem
THE UNITED STATES Senate's approval of the Lease and Lend Bill gets big headlines in Sunday's Spanish newspapers.
Spaniards are now awaiting with interest to see whether there is any truth in statements that American help would come too late, which have been given much publicity in Ma- drid earlier this year.
These statements have been re-ing called by a categorical announce- Goebbels, the ment by Joseph Nazi Propaganda Minister, to Spanish and other correspondents: “I afirm again that before the year is over Germany will finish
the war.
"The attack on England will be carried out in
inexorable manner when the wasther is sufficiently favourable."

GERMAN NAVAL WARNING
A German naval officer, Capt. Walther Hardt, writing in the "Dusseldorf Nachrichten," warns that though German sub- marine activity is being increased, British tough-
ness should not be under- estimated.
Captain Hardt stressed that the value of sen power has not in- it has diminished, in fact creased.

N. Z. PILOTS ENJOY
SCOTLAND
FINISHING THEIR TRAINING| IN SCOTLAND 18 A GROUP OF NEW ZEALAND PILOTS WHO ARE CONSOLIDATING THE GOOD IMPRESSIONS LEFT BE HIND BY PREVIOUS AIRMEN FROM THE FARTHEST DOMI NION.
"The finest bunch I ever came across, says their instructor who has had a variety of British pilots pass through his hands.
"These boys are quiet manner- ed with a sense of humour and keen to learn the job. As for sport and games they are the best all-rounders I've ever met."
There are twelve men in the group and theik jobs in civil life ranged from cheep farming to stock-broking. Ambition of cach of them is to be a fighter pilot.
They have been in England since the New Year, says the Air Mini- stry news service, and in the words of one find it "a fascinating country."
Whenever the
weather stops flying they go off on trips to local places of interest and they seem nearly as keen on it as on flying. -British Wireless,

MR. GAUSS OFF TO
WASHINGTON

PACIFIC
Three prominent Americans broadcasting last night from San Fran- cisco over America's Town Meeting of the Air pro- gramme, expressed the view that a United States' war with Japan is not in- evitable, but argued that immediate measures should be taken to meet the Japanese threat in East Asia.
**Is
Speaking on the subject War With Japan Inevitable?", Mr. Chester Rowell, Editor of the "San Francisco Chronicle," warn- ed that war was possible, adding that the United States did not want to court war but would not run away from it.
The policy of the Open Door and Equal Opportunity, Mr. Rowell declared, was only possi- ble in an integral and sovereign China.
The Axis Agreement, Mr. Rowell contended, was a virtual declaration of war on the Unit- ed States. Hitler wished to in- volve the United States against Japan, but the evidence has been that Japan does not want it.
