Called For
New York, Sept. 13. Secretary of Commerce Henry A. Wallace warns that "British imperialistic policy" in the Near East combined with "Russlan, retaliation" would lead the United States straight to war unless she formulated a clearly defined and realistic foreign polley of her own.

The two ideas will endeavour to prove which can deliver the most satis faction to the common man in their respective areas of political dominance.
"But by mutual agreement, this competition should be put on a friendly basis and the Russians should stop conniving against us in certain areas of the world, just
