Whicher Tells, Of Naturalism In U.S. Letters Amherst Professor Cites Nationalistic Tendencies In WritingsOf Nature By HARRY M. KELSEY Speaking for the 'GraduateStudy Program in American Culture and Institutions, Prof. George F. Whi- cher of Amherst College last night presented the problem of how far American writers were able to ac- cept and utilize the return to na- ture aspect of the romantic move- ment abroad. In the early period, he observed, the Puritans seemed to pay little attention to the natural wonders around them. This he explained by the necessity of conserving paper, an imported commodity at that time and not something to be used for the expression of personal joys and pleasures. The Puritan theory of nature, however, held elements that might easily be taken over into ro- mantic pantheism, Professor Whi- cher asserted.

The Germans seized upon Prime Minister Churchill's Sunday declar- ation of war to victory or to ruin as the factor forcing their decision to aim a mighty blow at the British. The German opinion contrasted somewhat with that of Italy, the other end of the axis, which forecast that Britain would be given a last chance to fall in line with the Rome- Berlin plan for "renovating" Eur- ope. One authoritative German com- mentary even said the bases from Norway down the Atlantic coast al- ready had been set up for the on- slaught against England. British air raids on Germany last night and early today were not an- nounced by either side, but at least a dozen German and German-held radio stations went suddenly silent, as they do when warplanes approach. Only a few hours after the Air Ministry reported punishing raids on Germany points, including 22 Ger- man airdromes in 48 hours, radio stations at Bremen, Cologne, Mun- ich, Leipzig, Berlin, Breslau, Frank- furt, Saarbrucken, Vienna, Brussels, Hilversum (Netherlands) and Stras- bourg (France) went silent. Nazi radio stations usually shut down when enemy planes are near to keep from acting as guides. Thepreported aacks on the Ger- man airdromes were'a stern "pre- invasion" answer to hints from Rome that Britain soon would face a sub- mit-or-else ultimatum from the Axis Powers. Virginio Gayda, Premier Musso- lini's editorial mouthpiece, indicated in Rome that the British Empire might soon have to make up its mind to have peace on Axis terms or be crushed by the military ma- chines which Gaydg said were near- ly ready to assault the British in their homeland. Japan is believed ready to take strong measures if Britain definitely refuses to close the road. Alarmed China protested that the new British stand was a "most unfriendly act."

German Economic Expert Says Hitler's Dynamism Menaces Pan-America Heightening of German economic and political penetration into South America, and continuation of her repressive pre-war economic policies will inevitably result if Germany emerges victorious from the present war, Dr. Melchior Palyi, noted Ger- man economist, told an audience of 500 yesterday in the third lecture of the American Policy series. The consequences of victory for Hitler will allow him no recourse, Dr. Palyi said, but to continue his search for the means to self-suffi- ciency. The psychological attitude of the Germans who believe implicit- ly in force as an instrument both to military and economic successes will force. retention of the highly-devel- oped military machine. It was in his lack of knowledge of this basic element of the German psychology that Chamberlain made a great mis- take, since he believed that allowing Hitler a little victory would satiate his desire for a big one. It is the feeling of the German people, Dr. Palyi declared, that a strong army means prosperity and good national health, while hard times and a weak army are almost synonymous. If Hitler should win, will he re- tain this gigantic military machine? For the past five years Germany has spent 75 per cent of her national income on armaments, more than' France, England and Italy combined. This is why Germany is winning int Europe today, he said. Germany willI probably have to maintain her army, since she will not be able to win a 1 complete military victory.. 1 The backbone of the National So-1 cialist Party in Germany has beent and will remain the peasantry, Dr.I Palyi declared. It was not the iiid- dle-class or the unemployed whot were mainly responsible for Hitler's accession to power, he said, but theC peasantry crying out against hugez debts, high interest rates on those debts, and little possibility of that situation being remedied.1 Another very serious problem fac- ing Germany is that of finding cap- ital. The decade of inten sive build- ing of armaments has left its mark on Germany in the obsolescence Hof all other types of productive ma- chinery.

Resolutions Group Prepares Platform CHICAGO, July 15.-(AP)-Third term forces turned the routine busi- ness of opening the Democratic na- tional convention into a thunderous 'draft Roosevelt" rally today and iuickly had gallery crowds and dele- ?ates alike roaring their approval of In appeal that the Chief Executive e renominated. With energetic, arm-swinging or- atory, Edward J. Kelly, Mayor of Chicago, transformed what had been illed as an address of welcome into 3 virtual nominating speech, closing n the classic manner with the Pres- ident's name. "We will stand, and put forward, and confirm again that god-sent guardian of our liberties, the kind of man that mankind needs," he shouted, "our beloved President, Franklin D. Roosevelt." Points To Record Calling for an aggressive campaign rm the "record" of performance, speaker William B. Bankhead voiced onight a 1940 Democratic keynote f uncompromising resistance to "malignant" aggressors abroad and assailed the Republican platform as "political subterfuge." He spoke a few minutes after Chairman James A. Farley of the Democratic National Committee, de- livering an address which sounded to some like a formal farewell to his party colleagues, had . denounced Republican leaders for "an effort" to "pin the odious label 'war party' upon the Democratic party." Both speakers joined in asserting that the coming campaign against Wendell L. Willkie and the Republi- can party must be waged upon the record of eight Democratic years in office. Farley asserted that "unless we give the country a ticket and a platform that will satisfy the major- ity, we have no certainty of victory. Crowd Of 2,000 Both speakers addressed a crowd which packed this big red, white and blue decked stadium to the rafters. The seatingcapacity exceeds 20,000. While the convention was going on an attorney for a brother of the late Jacob Ruppert was asserting that the New York Yankees Baseball Club probably would be sold to a syndicate headed by Farley "within two weeks at a price of $4,000,000. This was taken as a sign that Farley would not stay on as National Chair- man very long. The Resolutions Committee, mean- while, was busy on the platform, hearing William Green, President of the American Federation of Labor, assert that Mr. Roosevelt would find an arswer to the unemployment problem if "permitted," and listen- ing to Dr. Francis E. Townsend threaten to start a third party if the two major parties failed to endorse his pensions movement. A proposal to convoy supplies to Great Britain led to. a clash today, as Democratic party platform draft- ers sweltered through what they hoped was the last day of puble hearings. State - County System Flayed Dunham Designs Program For Public Welfare LANSING, July 15.-(JP)-Arthur Dunham, University of Michigan professor, proposed a six-point pro- gram for public welfare reorganiza- tion today at the opening session of the 12th Institute of Social Welfare, attacking the present state-county system as riddled with "politics." Dunham's platform: 1. "A few strong, well-organized state nublic welfare agencies.

From his work as a member of the School of Education Faculty and at Harvard, Professor Anderson stressed that'techniques to determine good and poor readers should cor- respond with normal situations. De- termining what kinds of reading are deficient is the key to providing the proper materials for practice for poor readers, he cited. Normal learning should at all times be the basis of the instruction of better reading habits. "Major Handicaps in the Educa- tion of American Teachers" were list- ed by Professor-Emeritus W. C. Bag- ley of Columbia University. The rapid growth of population creating a need for a greater number of tpehers and thee mnlovment in low- teacher education, he emphasized.
