AMERICAN MEMBER’S VIEWS “WE ARE BEING LICKED” • (United Press A«sn.—Flee Tel. Copyright; (Received Feb. 13, 3.15 p.m.) WASHINGTON, Feb. 12 Mr Hutton Summers, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, in an impassioned outburst in the House of Representatives, today said: “We are being licked.” He cried out to Congress to rouse the nation to its danger and shouted: “My God! Are we going to let the hope of ages perish from this earth because of our unworthiness, and because, like France, we insist upon ‘business as usual’? America does not yet realise she is in the greatest war of all time and facing the greatest military machine in history.”
