MENZIES' WARNING HINDUS

TO U.S.--"ALL OUT OR PERISH"

AFTER CONFERRING with President Roose- velt at the White House for more than an hour, Robert Gordon Menzies, Prime Minister of Austra- lia, made a moving appeal for increased American aid against the Axis.

The Prime Minister, who was on his way home after conferring with Winston Churchill, made a speech before the National Press Club.

This kind of war is no part- tung business," he said. "This kind of war is not to be Won without 100 per cent. of the war- like strength and activity of the people who wish it to be won in a certain way."

Condemnation was voiced for "the calculators" who advocate the "cautious" way of employing nly 10 or 20 per cent. of the income of a country. Machine power, he said, and not power will decide the war.

"The man who is going to win or Joe this war for our cause is the Dian who makes the stuff," Mr. Menzies stated.
