Nazi dispatches, however, laid claim to severe damage cre- ated last night to the Vickers- Armstrong airplane factory at Chester and to other bombings against military objectives in the same area. British minister without port- folio, Greenwood, today told the House of Commons that Germany may not invade Great Britain for some time to come in view of the damaging raids conducted during the past six weeks by the R.A.F. on industrial centers of Germany. Greenwood declared that German industry had been critically injured as a result of the raids, so much so, that proper backing for the invasion move. believed scheduled for this week- end, could not be furnished. Crucial situation in Spain was believed in the making today. A Prominent newspaper in Madrid called on Generalissimo Franco to bring Spains’ neutrality acts to an end and move to declaré war on England. The article brought out the editor’s belief that, Spain was being seriously hampered by the blockade moves instituted by! England recently. Evidence that the Vatican was moving to make peace with Ger- many today w4s contained in the report that Pope Pius was pre- paring to announce a new Con- cordat between the Holy See and Germany. The French tribunal called to fix blame for France’s defeat in the war with Germany was pre- paring today to go into a sched- uled three-months’ long, secret session. Important military and State officials of the former Re- public have been called up for examination by the board named by Marshal Petain.

Little Likelihtod’ Of Further Coalitions see ses see OF DIPLOMACY AT’ CONFERENCE By JACK STINNETT, AP Feature Service Writer WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.—Capi- | Hull molded the conference into tal talk: ;@ united front. In recent weeks, no man has so covered himself with what passes for success in diplomacy as Secretary of State Cordell | Hull. When the conference was call- ed, the capital was-full of skep- ticism. These Pan-American con ferences always had been ses. sions of sound and fury signify: ing nothing much and this, every. one said, was going to be just! another one. The economic sit- uation was too full of antagonistic selfish interests. As for the Mon- roe Doctrine, that always had been the United States’ own baby. little cool to the whole business and its congress may not ratify that “act of Havana”, but that does not keep official Washington jfrom showering Hull with such hrases as “the crowning achieve- ;ment of your long and illustrious career”.

Willkie and President Roosevelt getting to- gether for conferences on vital matters in the foreign situation. {But = hard-headed Politicians argue that the Republicans would ‘be against it because ‘shoot holés' in their -campaign A United Front That’s the way talk ran around delegates of the 21 American na- tions at Havana. Secretary Hull arrived on the scene and went to work. One of the men who was at the conference said: “No man work- ed harder than he. No man was more patient, more tolerant, more ~deeply solicitous of the wishes and views and attitudes of the other delegations and be it leading us into war. The Demo- ‘erats would be against it be- cause they are taking all the re- ‘sponsibility for our foreign policy and will continue to do through those vital days ahead (until next January at least, even if the election goes against them) and that there should be no ques- tion of sharing the credit, if any.
