AID TO BRITAIN
IMPERATIVE POLICY.
TJ. S. MINISTER'S TIE W
(United Press Association—Copyright) (11.25) WASHINGTON, July 14. "I belong to the school of thinkers who regard as imperative the policy of aiding England whatever the cost to ourselves, to, promote both our present security and the future of our national welfare," said the Secretary for the Navy (Colouel Knox) in an interview, answering some critics who regard him as the leader of the "war party."
Colonel Knox added that lie did not believe a free, independent, and democratic United States could long survive in a Nazi-dominated worJd. "Wherever the pursuit of such a policy might lead, lie hoped it would not lead America into war, but in his opinion war as a defence against Nazism would be infinitely preferable to peace accomplished by surrender to Hitlcrism.
