Of the most important speeches of his
middle western trip tomorrow. He is
believed to have sounded the keynote
Of his Milwaukee speech in a telegram
sent today to Senator Ollie James Of
Kentucky, to be read before a meet
ing Of Austrians in New York. The
telegram follows:
May / not send my warnest greet
ings to the meeting and viii you not
express for me my very deep and sin
cere confidence in the entire loyalty
and patriotism Of the great body Of
our fellow citizens who have strength
ened and enriched America by adding
their energy 70 our own out Of the
nations which have Joined in their
stocks to make a greater American"
America First
Because of the large foreign born
population In Milwaukee, the Pres.-
dent Is expected to urge all Americans,
no matter where born to stand for
America first. He will also repeat his
warning that the United States must
be prepared because Of the uncertainty
OF the International situation
Before arriving in Milwaukee the
President will deliver brief platform

discussed. In each speech he has asked
support for his national defense plans
from all people regardless Of party.

that in virtually every speech he will
continue to emphasize the possibility
that the United States may be drawn
into The European struggle as the rea-
son why he believes the army and navy
should be strengthened without delay
