War Colouring Given To American Life
By Otto Jansson
(United. Press Staff Correspondent)
WASHINGTON, June 20 (UP), — The “all-out” defence effort of the United States, commenced in, earnest less than a year ago, has given a definite “war colouring” to the every-day life of the nation.
A marked feeling of tension and urgency is evident to the most casual observer. It is a feeling probably not unlike that which gripped France, England and other European countries during the "war of nerves" prior to the actual outbreak of hostilities.
Before the large-scale hostili- ties on the Western Front be- gan, the war seemed dietant to the average citizen of the United States. The fall of France wrought a profound change from a sentiment of "business usual" to one "everything for defence."
The rapidity with which transition from normal "perce-time" conditions
hos 'taken place makes the change even more startling.

Germany Cannot Win
Says Captain Margesson
Captain Margesson, Secretary of State for War, in broadcast to Latin America, said there could be few indeed outside Germany who wanted a German victory; but, there had been many who had believed that Germany must wing and that they had better play safe. But it was not possible to play safe with Hitler.
