President Roosevelt's challenge

as voiced in his message to con-

World reaction to his all but
unprecedented speech before a
joint night session Of the house
and senate was immediate, though
somewhat nebulous and political
ly divided along partisan lines.
Roughly his address divided in
to two explosive fragments.
First-A statement of interna-
tional affairs interpreted in
Europe as g. yelled attack on Italy
Germany and Japan and hearten-
ing to Great Britain, France and
other league countries in their
efforts to maintain peace.
Second-An attack on sections

ATLANTA, Ca, Jan. a. CUP
Eugene Talmadge last night
promulgated a startling new RUE
to bolster his plan of operating
the State of George through 1885

The Georgia governor who mas
risen to Presidential consideration
for his caustic criticism of New
Deal experiments, announced the
constitutional provisions for sala-
ries of state officers preclude ne
cessity for a general appropria-

state assembly.
Scorning to call the Georgia
legislature back in special session
to pass a long-delayed approprla-

es to operate without a legisla-

session in January, 1887.

STRONGEST STATEMENT
in YEARS, is VIEW

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. (UP).
The Presidents message is con-
sidersd the strongest statement on
foreign affairs given to congress
since Wilson called for declara-
ton of war against Germany. This
view is expressed by veteran dip
lomatic observers and state de-
partment officials who believed the
Presidents pessimistic view of
world affairs is calculated to speed
enactment of the neutrality bill in
troduced simultaneously in both
houses of congress yesterday.
Although the President didn't
name Italy, Japan and Germany,
there was little doubt among dip
lomatic observers that his remarks
were directed at them.

ROME, Jan. 4. (UP).-Italian
aviators have avenged the behead-

Ethiopian tribesmen by heavily
bombing Harar, the second larg-

ports circulating here today said.
The reports said Harar, head
quarters for Ethiopian operations
in the south, was damaged badly
bv the aerial bombardment.
Many American correspondents
have made headquarters in Harar
for months. All Ethiopian troops
and war materials were moved
from the city weeks ago, Eth

the danger of Italian attack by
air.
