AMMUNITION MUST FIT

The army and navy have an equal
interest in the thing. In case of a
world war, the U. S. and the other
American republics likely would be
shoulder to shoulder in defense of
this hemisphere. If the republics to
the south were equipped with Euro
pean weapons they could buy no
fresh supplies of ammunition dur
ing the war. And nothing made by
the U. S. would fit.
The army and navy hoped-and
expected that orders for anti
aircraft and coast defense weap-
ons would come from number of
South American nations.
Although the bill permitted them
also to buy battleships or smaller
craft, the navy people don't expect
they will The navy does not look
for much hemispherical d fens e
from the Latin American navies.
One modern battleship and a few
heavy cruisers could put all the
South American navies to rout.
But of special Importance to the
navy are bases and safe harbors
along the American coast. In a
war these bases would be of ire
mendous Importance. Rio de ia
metro, for instance, would need
anti-aircraft weapons to shoot away
raiding bombers. 1t would need
coast defense weapons to protect
the docks and war stores for the
fighting forces.
Altogether six American republics
have indicated they would like U. S.
weapons. Sumner Welles, under
secretary of state, has told House
and Senate foreign relations COM
mittees that all the Latin Ameri-

A government source described the
Ambassadors statements before the
America-Japan Society meeting of
yesterday as verbal expression Of
the policy typi1led by the United
States fleet movement.
Because today was a national holi-

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 20.-Elliott
Roosevelt said last night that the
Toxic address of Joseph C. Grew,
United States Ambassador to Japan,
In which he declared the United
States resented "the violation of
American rights by Japanese armed
forces in China" coincided with "the
temper of American feeling"
ut was a two-fisted speech the
Japanese understand BEST" the Pres
idents son asserted in radio broad
cast. America is going to keep
trading in China and with China"
He also stated that the Philippine
Commonwealth, like an "inexperi-
enced swimmer who suddenly dis
covers man-eating shark just be-
yond the diving board" faced the
threat of Japanese domination the
moment it became independent of
the United States.
In Boston earlier yesterday, young
Roosevelt announced that the 10
Texas broadcasting stations which
he operates were resigning from the
National Association of Broadcasters
because of the imposition of a rule
barring expressions of personal opin-
ion on controversial issues from COM
mercially sponsored programs.
While at Boston, too, Mr.. Roosevelt
stated in a press conference that
"the question of (presidentiaD can
didates in either party has been
completely washed out" since the
European war. This assertion fol-
lowed question as to the presiden-
tial prospects of Vice President

Foreign and Japanese observers
theorized that it had two possible
meanings: American preparation for

strong indication that Japanese
public opinion had turned against
the militarists.

diplomatic corps, spoke again today
