Referring at his press con-

that the names of Hitler and
his henchmen do not appear
on war criminal lists being
compiled in London, Hull hint-
ed that the names might not be
on certain lists. But he assured
reporters that that did not
mean the leaders would es-
cape punishment.
"The answer to any sugges-
tion that Hitler and other top
Naai officials have been or «re
likely to be overlooked by the
United Nations is found in the
Moscow declaration of 1943
on German atrocities,” he said
in a formal statement.
That declaration provides
that war criminals guilty of
specific crimes in occupied
countries will be taken back
to the scene to be judged and
punished by the people they
outraged. It adds that such
procedure will not in any way
prejudice the case against
German criminals such as Hit-

Treating Cottonseed For Pink Bollworm Control

Bombers and patrol planes
have carried on day and night
sweeps over enemy shipping
routes between the Indies and
the Philippines for the. past
several weeks, and the lack of
large vessels in waters under
Allied air domination has in-

Washington, Sept. 29. (UP)
—President Roosevelt, in this
government's find statement
on policy to be followed to-
ward postwar Germany, to-
day instructed the foreign ad-
ministration to undertake stu-
dies to the end that Germany
shall "not become a menace
again to succeeding genera-
tions.”
The president at his news
conference released a letter to
FEA administrator Leo T,
Crowley in which he said the
studies should be directed to-
ward control of German “pow-
er and capacity to make war
in the future.”
Mr. Roosevelt asserted that
published stories of a split
within his cabinet on policies
to be followed toward Ger-
many after the war were es-
sentially untrue.
At the same time, the presi-
dent told Crowley that “until
the complete defeat of both
Japan and Germany, the
flow of tend-lease aid should
be continued in the amounts
necessary to enable the com-
bined strength of all the Unit-
ed Nations to defeat our com-
mon enemies as quickly as pos-
sible and with the least loss of
life.”
Mr. Roosevelt also took the
occasion to denounce Argen-
tina for submitting to “increas-
ing Nazi influence” and seek-
ing to "undermine” the safety
cf the American republics by
spreading the word that Allied
counsels are divided in their
attitude toward Argentina.
He issued a strongly-word-
ed statement saying that this
government feels “increasing
concern” over recent develop-
ments in Argetina. He viewed
it as a “paradoxical” that Nazi
influence should be growing in
Argetina at a time when Ger-
many is nearing defeat.
In announcing the FEA
policy, the president noted
that he was careful not to say
when the collabse of Germany
would come. He said he had
not set any date in the past
and was not ready to do so
now.
Mr. Roosevelt in his letter to
Crowley called for appropri-
ate cuts in the FEA foreign
procurement program after
Germany is beaten. This is
necessary, he said, “to prevent
undue and unnecessary finan-
cial losses to American tax-
