"BRITAIN WANTS WAR IN GERMANY"

AMERICANS ENLIGHTENED PREVENTION OF INVASION NOT THE ONLY OBJECT (Recd. 9.45 p.m.) London. Nov. 30 "Men and women in England not only want to win the war, but want the war carried aggressively into Germany. It is something America does not know. Nobody has attempted to tell her. America thinks that ail Britain is trying to do is to stave off invasion.'' This was stated by Mr. Melvin Maas, a member of the United States House of Representatives Naval Affairs Committee, who is a group-cap-tain in the United States Naval Air Service. He is a member of a mixed party of American Congressmen who have completed a fortnight's study of Britain at war. Mr. Maas added: "When I left America we shared the view of the rest of our countrymen that Britain was pursuing an isolationist policy. Britain has done a bad propaganda job in America. You mi.-represented yourselves and us. We shall be able to tell Americans something different." In a joint statement, the party said: “We were given complete freedom io go where we wanted and talk with whom we wanted. We believe our visit will result in a better understanding of the common problems of the two nations."—U.P.A.
