[ ination and discussion of the speech during the last 36 hours.
 Hitler's Order of Day
 Hitler's order of the day was made as supreme leader of the armed forces.
 Although the D. N. B. news agency had not yet issued an account of President Roosevelt's speech or Ger man comment on it, German news papers today were receiving press comment from elsewhere, including a lengthy excerpt from a Washing ton Daily News editorial.
 The newspaper Nachtausgabe said that MT. Roosevelt's speech was based on two wilful lies" It added:
 "The only new thing in it was a complete lack of objectivity and very remarkable slew of untruths MT. Roosevelt showed in this speech, which was climaxed not by political argument but by wild outbreak of hatred, such nervousness as can hardly differentiate between it and the last outburst of rage from his master, Churchill"
 1t came as the German public, which had been told by the official news agency that President Roose- vel'tS speech would be of greatest importance, still waited vainly for the slightest official inkling of its contents.
 Statements such as that of Verne NKn~ehoI1 nI of tho raV.in n No Foreign War committee, appeal ing to the president against involve ment in the war, were published at length but there had been no men, ton of the presidents speech more than 36 hours after its delivery. Hitler, Field Marshal Hermann Goering, Nazi No. 2 and chief of the air force; General Walther von Brauchitsch, commander in chief of the army and Grand-Adm. Erich Raeder, commander in chief of the navy, issued the customary orders of the day.
 Claim 194O Victories
 Hitler said that in 1940 the Ger man armed forces had attained vic- tories of unprecedented glory, de- feating their enemies on land, at sea and in the air.
 German forces had won through the might of their weapons, he said, and had conquered the countries which they occupied by virtue of their Thigh morale, ideal and un- matchable discipline" Now, he said, the efforts of teh last war had been brought to the point of final suc- cess, and the shame of the last armistice had been wiped out for ever"
 Then, after his reference to Democratic war mongers, and Jewish capitalists" Hitler said:
 "The representative Of a break ing world believe that they may achieve in 1941 what they were un- able to do in 1940
 Almighty God will not leave those who are threatened by the world, and who with their courag- eous hearts are helping themselves the year 1941 will conclude the greatest victory in our history"
 There was no indication in Nazi quarters of the scope of Hitler's ref erence to Democratic war mon- gers" or whether-if written after President Roosevelt's speech was delivered-it referred to the United States and its aid to Britain. But 1t was regarded here as not (no0 be- ing a direct answer to the pres identa, since such an order is is- sued each New Years eve and may have been written long before the speech of Sunday night. Nazi quar- ters had reported that Hitler might make special statement in answer to the president.
 Confidence In Germany
 Goering, Brauchtisch and Raeder in their orders of the day all ex- pressed confidence In German vic- tory.
 T am able to thank you now from proud heart and strong con- ldence," Goering told the air force. ". apart from the navy you are now our main weapon for the direct fight against Great Britain. We are proud that our Fuehrer has given us Chis task. We know that behind us is tnexhaustible arms industry, whose workers are toiling through out the day and night
 My sincerest wishes accompany you with your victories advance forward during the forthcoming year. We will win and enable the German people to live and to com. plete the ytiehrer's work"
 We stand stronger than ever and ready for our task at the begin- ming of the new year." said Braiich- itsch. Under the command Of our Fuehrer and with unshakeable con- fidence fin him we will also defeat the final opponent forward with God for Germany"
 Boldly and toughly ail6 with de- termination the navy continued the battle in the past year against c numerically superior foe" said Raa1nrn fnY'l4a n1IIrIf nl lfaa nf4n4..
