Need for Help Increases
"More and good jobs are avail

Pulling No Punches . .
Dr. Linton Predicts Germans
Won't Allow Lasting Peace
Pulling no punches and attack
ing isolationists as pro-German,
pacifist and Roosevelt haters. Dr.
Ralph Linton, professor of an
thropology at Columbia univer
sity predicted yesterday before a
large union forum audience that
Hitler will attack the U. S. with
in 25 to 30 years and that German
economy would not allow a perma
nent peace.
Linton, a staunch interventionist
and a World war veteran who
fought with the famous Rainbow
division explained to the audience,
which fired questions at him fol
lowing" his talk, that "this is a
pep talk for intervention; we must
follow our government into this
war and it is a shooting war!"
World War II More Costly.
Linton declared that the United
States will have to send two or
three million men to Europe to
finish the war, and the U. S. will
lost more men than in World
war I.
"Hitler likes to use the effem
inate approach, to outsmart his
enemies by boring from within;
already German agents arc en
gaged in fifth column efforts
among the American Indian tribes
in southeastern United States," he
affirmed.
Germany 1$ Threat.
A successful conquering power
has never stopped until someone
defeated it. Germany is a threat to
the United States. We must ac
cept assistance even if it be from
the devil himself, Linton answered
when questioned concerning Amer
