Chimniings, !«ad“or“tRS mili tary department at Presbyterian col lege. following is a report of his address: Twenty-two years ago today, in response to Germany’s plea for an armistice, our troops in Europe laid down their arms.- There was great rejoicing all over the United States, because it was believed that there would be no more wars. We pro ceeded to disarm, to reduce our army to a skeleton and to dismantle many of the ships of our fleet.

Forces of greed and cruelty are at work again in the world tod^ and we see on evety hand that it is only the stxxxig who can survive in this mad struggle. We in America are at peace and we all pray that we may remain so. But in the face of the ruthl^ ag gression abroad how can we hope to remain at peace? There is only one way—Co rmSte ohf nafibh so' roong fhlt no atsk will dare to attack ua. * The time for wiriiful thinking and vague hopes that a4 will be well Is past. If we hope to survive as a free nation and as free individusds, we must build 19 our defenats, and Oils ia exactly what we are doing. This is no time lor so<t and easy ways of iliving. We, as a natioat must racapture the pioneer spirit of our fotefaifiez;^, and prepare to meet any emergency. We all have a stake in this coun- 'try and we all have a duty to per form. Those vdK) are not called in to the armed forces, must neverthe less be prepared to protect our coun try and our homes against acts of treach^ and disloyalty. While we go about our daily tasks here in peace, women and little dkildren in London and other cities art being maimed and killed in dieir homes and on the itreets J>y bondM^ We moat not let Omt here. We must all work together as loyal Americans, and do everything in our power to build up our defenses so that our families will not suffer as those poor people across the seas are suflering.

Berlin, Nov, 12. — In a “strictly , business” atmosphere, Adolf Hitler i and Soviet Premier VyacheslafT Mol- jotofl sat down today to talks which may prove portentious for the entire I world. ' Out of them, some informed Nazis i believed, the Soviet Union may (emerge -as a partner of Germany, i Italy and Japan m their shaping of ^ “new world order." But authorized sources made it clear that nothing official could be expected on the trend of the conversation.s for the time being. The closely connected . Dienst aus Deutschland news service however, offered one commnt. saying that v^hile the Axis continues its war against England, -“attention is fixed tirelessly upon rearing foundations of an intercontinental system of peace.’’ The meeting was the first between Hitler and Molotoff, neither of whom speaks the other’s language, and they conversed with the help of an inter preter for more than two and a half hours in the fuehrer’s imposing chan cellery. With them were German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop and Ru-ssian Foreign Vice Commissar V. G. Dekanozoff. ' The sun had gone down on blacked out Berlin before Molotoff, Josef Stalin's closest collaborator, was es corted out of the great bronze doors of the chancellery by Von Ribben- trop and drivMi back to Bellevue castle, the government’s official’guest hotise in the Tiergarten. Curious crowds had stood around in the big square outside as night lowered, waiting to see the fuehrer’s visitor. Tonight, Germany’s top men, evi dently more than 100 in number, I were invited to dine with the Russian premier, his entourage and the staff of Russia’i Berlin embassy. Covers were laid in • leading hotel for 200, and authorized sources said the affair was purely a German-Rus- sian get-together, with no foreign diplomats invited— German leaders other than Hitler and Von Ribbentrop were scheduled jto meet Molotoff tocnorrow. But the visit has been business-like from the moment of Molotoff’s ar- ninner to calling the men into one!Anhalter station this morn- kands off America.
