Standing on the Speakers dias in

members before him and Vice Presi-

head seated at his back, President
Roosevelt pointed out that while a
war which threatened to envelop the
world had been averted, 1T has be-
come increasingly clear that peace
is not assured
In a modern civilization, he said,

tional good faith complement each

Must Prepare for Defense.
There comes a time in the af-
fairs of men when they must pre-

defend not their homes alone, but
the tenents of faith and humanity
on which their churches, their gov
ernments and their very civilization
are founded. The defense of re-

faith among the nations is all the
same fight. To save one we must
now make up our minds to save ALL"
Mr. Roosevelt said Americans
know what might happen to them if
the new PHILOSOPHERS of force en-
compass the other nations and in
wade their own.
The desirability Of what the Presi-
dent has in the past called "conti-
mental solidarity" although he ap-
plies it to the whole Western Hemi-
sphere, was stressed in his message
today. He said in this connection
I'VE no more than other nations
can afford to be surrounded by the
enemies of our faith and our hu-
manity. Fortunate it is, therefore,
that in this Western Hemisphere we
have, under a common ideal of
democratic government, a rich 'di-
versity of resources and of peoples
functioning together in mutual re-
spect and peace.
Pledged to Secure Protection.
That hemisphere, that peace, and
that ideal we propose to do our share
in protecting against storms from
any quarter. Our people and our
resources are pledged to secure that
protection. From that determination

BERLIN, Jan. 4.-The German
American minority in the United
States is being subjected to the
worst kind Of persecution and op-
preston, the Hamburger Fremden-
blatt charges in long article pub
lished here today.
German Americans are denied DO
lice protection against attacks by
their enemies, today's article claims.
They are being dismissed from their
jobs BY the thousand and pre-
vented from earning a living; their
meetings are broken up by violence
and attacks and impositions on
them are constantly growing worse.
The tragic picture which the
Fremdenblatt paints of the lot of
German Americans in the United
states Is. in fact almost as bad as
the picture the Nazis painted of the
lot of Germans in Czecho-Slovakia
American public opinion is hope
lessly poisoned and its attitude to-
ward the Reich and toward German
Americans is unfair and prejudiced, +"
today's article says, and 1t declares
that a "senseless agitation against
everything German" is sweeping the
United States. THE success" of the
German-American Bund should be
a warning to the United States and
above all to American Jews, it says
OF the consequences which may fol-
low continued persecution of the
"German-A American minority"
Thousands of German -Ameri-
cans have lost their positions during
the last few years." the Fremden-
blatt declares, either because the
manager of business did not want
to have any bloody Nazis' in his
employ or because Jewish and Com
munistic fellow employees or the gen.
eral public, stirred up by agitation.
demanded their immediate dismissal.
Freedom of speech and of the
press are provided for in the Con-
stitution, it is true, but only too often
they fail to extend to the German
American.
mo only is it made difficult if not
impossible for thousands of Ger
man-Americans to earn their daily
bread-the protection of law also is
more and more' being denied the
German-American minority. Amer
lea is their home and (yet in their
own homes and in their own houses,
they are subjected to constant perse-
cution."

Korps, official organ of the black

students and the magazine Life to-
day for making fun of Chancellor
Hitler in connection with the Hit
Ter Party" pictured in Life's Decem-
ber S issue.
A full page editorial was cap
toned in huge letters "USA," but to
each of these were added other let
ters in small type, which made the
caption read "Unverschaemt" dn-
Solent, "Schamlos" (Shameless)
and "Albern" (silly)::
Das Schwarze Korps said in part:
If we were not such barbarians
who resolutely decline to initiate
the kultur of others, the students
Of Heidelberg University would
have to put on beer stunt at which
everybody would have to appear
in the mask of President Roosevelt.
IF the mass imitation of that
noble head should present diff
ficultieS, there still would remain
the possibility of troubling the in
mates of the monkey reservation

TOXIC, Jan. 4.-Emperor Hirohito
tonight commanded Baron Kiichiro
Hiranuma, FaScist-inclined president
OF the privy council, to form a new
cabinet in succession to that of
Prince Fumimaro Konoye.
Hiranuma, outstanding nationalist,
was summoned to the palace after
the comparatively liberal Konoye
had resigned with the declaration
that the war in China had come to
stage where new policies under a
new cabinet" should be formulated.
The 19-month-old Konoye cabinet
fellbefore strong militarist-national

home and abroad for renewed efforts
to fasten Japan's will on East Asia.
With the powerful war minister.
1t. Gen. Seishiro Itagaki, presiding,
high army leaders were in confer

his choice.
Previous Hopes Blocked.
Before calling Hiranuma to the
palace the sovereign made the pes-

premiership, but this time appar-

strong.
Prince Konoye stepped down in
lace OF an onslaught of Fascist
minded elements who want a single
political party for Japan, more rigid
control OF economic life, and a new
administrative policy in China.
Feeling was so intense that In
some quarters fear was expressed
for the personal safety of some of
the retiring ministers, especially the
elderly finance minister, Seihin
Ikeda.

spirit in the Congress.
The President, when he entered
the House, was greeted with pro-
longed applause and cheers, al
: though some of the Republicans and
some of the anti-New Deal Demo-
Gratis were noticeably silent. An
ether ovation was given him as he
left the hall.
The Presidents audience for the
most part was rather cold, although
Il warmed to him occasionally when
Re stressed the patriotic need Of
defense.
Mr.. Roosevelt laid great emphasis
on the need of preparation against
attack from abroad. He asserted
that "undeclared wars" deadly
armaments" and new aggression
threaten the three institutions in
i:ispensable to Americans-religion
democracy and international good
faith. And, he added, only through
E. Nation united both physically and
spiritually can these storms be kept
from American shores.
No Mention of Munich by Name.

name the Munich pact, resulting in
the disarmament of Czecho-Slo-

Mr.. Roosevelt said that next week
ne would send to the Congress a
special message dealing with ma
tional defense, presumably giving
the details of preparation which he
hopes to see Congress provide for.
