Lord Halifax Replies "To
Hitler's Outburst
LONDON, July 23 (Renter)-Lord Halifax, Foreign Secretary, London last replied to Hitler's speech in a broadcast from evening in the course of which he said that Hitler had "sum- maned Great Britain to capitulate to his will,
"I will not waste any time by dealing with Hitler's distor- tions of almost every main event since the war began,
"He says he has no desire to destroy the British Empire but there was in his speech no suggestion that peace must be based on justice, and no word of recognition that the other nations of Europe had any right to the self determination principle he had so often invoked for the Germans
"His only appeal was to base the Instinct of fear and his only arguments were threats. His silence In regard to the nations whom, on one false pretext or another, will be subjugated, is significant.

LITTLE DOUBT OF
THE CHOICE
BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, July 23 (Reuter)--The Latin- American States have the choice of alliance with the United States or falling under the Nazl inapence, declared the Christian Science Monitor's correspondent in Havana, reporting on the Pan-American Conference.
Hitherto, says the correspondent, the proceedings have been in a stage of preliminary scouting. The atmosphere of realistic caution testified to the magnitude of the problems in economics and de fence facing the Conference.
Unlike previous meetings, the Pan-American Nations the Havana Conference cannot afford the luxury of words divorced from faction.
