AMERICA'S POSITION
PROBABILITY OF A LONG WAR. MAY CROSS THE ATLANTIC. AMERICA MUST ADEQUATELY PREPARE. _ * j * " NOT ONLY WITH MONEY. GERMANY PLENTIFULLY SUPPLIED .* Jl. +>■ - (Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn.) Received May, 3, 12.35 p.m. ' WASHINGTON, May 2. Addressing the representatives of the State Councils of Defence, Mr Lane, Secretary for the Interior, warned the Government and the Governors that the war was likely to last a long time, and might finally be fought on this side of the Atlantic, unless the United States adequately and early prepared the plans necessary for more than a one year's struggle. According to Hoover's report, Germany still has two years' supplies, with plenty of coal and iron. She has 18,000,000 cattle with which to feed her soldiers. The United States would be humiliated if she tried to fight only through the medium of loans to the Allies.
