AMERICAN AID
MUST BE TO THE LIMIT
SPEECH BY MR. ICKES
(Rec. .9 a.m.) NEW YORE:, May 18. The Secretary of the Interior, Mr. Harold Ickes, in a speech, said that the United States "not only will fight for democracy but also will make it worth fighting for. We must give the British everything We have, and by everything I mean everything that is needed to beat the life from the common enemy. "America will help brave England to drive the hordes of hell who besiege her, and then we will join for the destruction of the savage, bloodthirsty dictators everywhere. But we must be firm and decisive; we must know our will and make it felt—and we must hurry." Mr. Ickes said he was convinced that Americans would lose their freedom unless they co-operated fully in aiding the enslaved peoples to recover their liberty. • • "These hundreds of millions of liberty-loving people constitute the greatest "sixth column' in history," he said. "They have the will to destroy the Nazi gangsters, and we, whp have always helped the struggle for human freedom., will help again."—U.P.A.
