Mr. Roper expressed the view that had the terms of the Versailles Treaty been less drastic and had the United States joined the League of Nations promptly, they would never, have heard of Hitler.
Another Appeal For Allies - WASHINGTON, May 23 (Reuter), -Senator Claudo Pepper, In the Senate to-day, urged the United States to "turn the scale of battle in favour of the Allies by sending goods, money and aeroplanes immediately." Senator Pepper also proposed that the United States should "tell Hitler that we are his ciernal immortal enemies and that we will that he shall be destroyed as a politieni:

He added: "If we are going to sit here day after day and content our- selves with only trying to build some protection around our country and perhaps around the Western Hemia- phere, we will have committed one of the greatest tragedies in history."
