IN an interview with Mr. Karl von Wiegand, an American journalist, on June 13, Hitler declared that his policy was Amerien for the Americans and Europe for the Europeans."
He denounced as a lie that he had ever dreamt of interfering in the Western hemisphere, and he charac terised American tears as childish and grotesque.
Talk of the Fifth Column, he con- tinued, was stupid and fantastic. He maintained that no such body existed and that the whole story was the product of the imagination of pro- pagandists. The fact was, he added, that the Governments of the coun tries opposing him could not treat the opposition decently and found it convenient to attribute their result ing domestic diMculties to a mythical Fifth Column.

White families lost 22 years in Andes forest
A SETTLEMENT of white families, cut off from the world for twenty-two years, has been found by a scientific air expedi. tion, according to a report from Lima, Peru.
In 1918, according to the report, the families settled in dense woods in the Madre de Dios region of the Andes.
The airmen who made the discovery, it is stated, were two
