IN un interview with Mr. Karl von Wiegund, an American journalist, on June 13, Hitler declared that his policy was America for the Americans and Europe for the Europeans.

Ile denounced as a lie that he had ever dreamt of interfering in the Western hemisphere, and he chara torised American fears as childish and grotesque.

Talk of the Fifth Coluinn, 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- iries opposing him could not treat the opposition decently and found it ronvenient to attribute their result- ing domestic difculties to a mythical Fifth Column.

SNEER AT U.S. HELP

He then denied that he wanted to smash the British Empire, but he saki that he would destroy those who were destroying that Empire.

Referring to the American decision to rear, he said that America's

policy was not his business, and he was in no way interested. He scorn- fully sneered at American material help to the Allies, and said that this could not affect the outcome of the war.

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 Peruvians, Senor Conterno and Senor Elmore Volabana, who were co-operating with the Swedish-American financler Mr. Wen- ner Gren, who sponsored the expedition.

Eighty families comprised the settlement, whose existence had been completely forgotten. The settlers did not know the result of the war of 1914-18.-British United Press.

Palestine Excavation Will Continue

"Hitler would be in London to- morrow. We should have paid shomeful price for peace, and peace would be denied us.

"We shall not pay a shameful price for peace, the honour and safety of the world lies in our hands."

Mr. Nicolson said the interview was an almost perfect specimen of Hitler's method. His statement that Germany had no interest in the American continent was "largely Eour grapes," because of the British ond American navies.
