HOOVER’S WARNING TO UNITED STATES
NEW YORK, February 23. Britain and western Europe might be neutral if the United States was attacked, said the former President, Mr Herbert Hoover, today. Mr Hoover said: “This is not an accusation as to their good faith or their gratitude for our having spent so much American treasure and blood in their liberation from Hitler. It is the bare, stark fact of divided and weakened European nations in the face of the Red Army’s 2,500,000 men along the ‘iron curtain.’ We must realise that if somebody made war on us we would have no certain military allies in the world. ’ Mr Hoover added that a federation of western Europe would strengthen the forces of peace and defence.
