Economic Assistance and Readiness to Match
 Force to Force BOLD ATTACK MADE
 ON CHAMPIONSHIPS United States Has Stake in World Affairs, No Matt ter Who Starts War
BY LYLE c. WILSON United Press Staff C0rrespondent)

United Press Staff C0rrespondent)
 Washington, April IA. - (UP) - President Roosevelt today pledged the United States economic support and readiness to match force to force" if necessary in de- lending Western Hemisphere nations against foreign ag- gression. He spoke before the governing board of the Pan- American Union in participation in Pan-American Day. For this 0c- casion the President took the role of spokesman for the west in bold veto against dictatorial organization of the world.
 MT. Roosevelt indirectly defended the European front developing ur- der French and British diplomatic maneuvers to erect barriers against further German or Italian expan- sion on the continent. His address bristled with determination to de- fend this country's institutions and to help western neighbors defend themselves.
 But the President said he still was confident the new world could help the old avert disaster.
 'There is no fatality" he said, which forces the old world towards new catastrophe. Men are not pris- oners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds"
 His words, apparently inviting the plain people of totalitarian states to break their bonds," were broad- cast as he uttered them and are being translated for short wave de- livery in six languages to every corner of the globe.
 MT. Roosevelt reminded all men that they have within themselves

BRITAIN, FRANCE

Over Two Billion Dollars in Resources = Italy,

By SANDOR s. KLEIN United Press Staff COrrespondent)

V
 Washington, April 14- (UP)- Great Britain and France could utilize at least $2,350, 100000 of liquid resources in this country in event of war, compared with only $150, ,000, 900 available to Germany and Italy, a United Press survey showed today.
 Those figures include dollars ball. ances and securities holdings, but not gold held here for the accounts of those countries. Statistics are un- available, but 1t was believed that several hundred million dollars in gold are held for Great Britain and France. Germany and Italy were believed to have a negligible amount.
 Administration officials are study ing ways of dealing with any emer- gency, their chief concern being with the danger inherent in the large foreign ownership of American com- mon stocks estimated to be nearly g, ,000. 100000. They seek means of preventing those shares from being dumped on the stock market.
 Only Small Portion
 Dollar balances and securities rep- resent only a small portion of the resources available to France and Great Britain if war breaks cut and if all military and other purchases of them here were placed on a cash- and-carry basis.
 According to an analysis by Win throp w. Case and the research stan of the Foreign Policy association, the Anglo French group could mus ter SIS, 1000, 100000 resources in the form of gold or holdings in foreign

ID IT E1AEDEkkkNA AO1k United Press Staff Correspondent
 London, April IA. = (UP) = The possibility of a limited military understanding be- tween Great Britain and Soviet Russia was hinted for the first time today after the foreign office sent special, but undisclosed instructions to Sir William Seeds, the British ambassador at Mos COW. Sir William arranged to see Max Litvinow, the Soviet foreign minister, today.
 The British government mean while was reported to have intimated to Italy that 1t would be forced to denounce the British-Italian friend- ship treaty of 1888 unless Fascist fighting forces began withdrawing from Spain early in May.
 Soviet Russia has remained the biggest question mark in the Euro- pean anti-aggresison front which Great Britain and France have sought to build against future to- talitarian expansion by giving pledges of military aid to Poland, Greece and Rumania and working out details of a similar pledge to Turkey.
 Prime minister Neville Chamber lain was sharply criticized on all sides in the House of Commons yes terday because of delay in bringing the Soviets, with an estimated D. 500, 900 men under arms, into the so-called peace front.
 Air Pact With Soviets
 It was reported without confir- nation in diplomatic circles that Sir William would discuss with Lltvinov the feasibility of an air pact with the Soviets. Official sources re- fused to comment and Soviet diplo- mats were doubtful that Chamber
