Denver, he said), and in the North Pacific, America and Asia almost touch each other.
 Many persons made suggestions to the President regarding last nights speech-what they wanted him to say Or what they wanted to know Most of them expressed what the President described as a courageous desire to know the plain truth. But one message urged him not to re- peat an earlier statement of how American cities could be bombed by a hostile power from bases in this hemisphere. So MT. Roosevelt warned that Germ any might strike at this hemisphere to obtain such 8 base, citing this years invasions oi Norway, Belgium and Holland where Germany has powerful bases now.
 "Pins Frauds"
 Asserting that the Nazis justified those invasions by various "pious frauds" such as restoring order or protecting from aggression, MT Roosevelt asked:
 Would she hesitate to say to any South American country, we are occupying you to protect you from aggression by the United States?'
 Any South American country in Nazi hands would always constitute jumping off place for German att tack on any one of the other re- publics of this hemisphere.
 "Analyze for yourself the future of two other places even nearer to Germany if the Nazis won. Could Ireland hold out? Or the island of the Azores? Closer to our shores in the Atlantic than Hawaii is on the other side"
 To those who say the Axis powers would never desire to attack the western hemisphere, MT. Roosevelt replied: "Wishful thinking"
 '"The plain facts are," he continued "that the Nazis have proclaimed, time and again, that all other races are their interiors and therefore subject to their orders. And, most of all, the vast resources and wealth of this hemisphere con- stitute the most tempting loot"
 The evil forces are within our gates, MT. Roosevelt warned, both here and in South America. Secret emiSsaries, he said, seek to cause internal strife. They would turn capital against labor and labor against capital, arouse racial and religious enmities, promote intoler- ance and exploit our natural abhor- renee of war. Their purpose: to di- vide our people, destroy our unity, prevent our self defense. The gov ernment is aware of these secret forces, the president said, and daily ferreting them out.
 Americans Help Them
 "There are also American citi- zens," he continued, many of them in high places, who unwittingly in most cases, are aiding and abetting the work of these agents. I do not charge these American citizens with being foreign agents. But I do charge them with doing exactly the kind of work that the dictators want done in the United States"
 Some of these Americans, he ada ed, believed we should shut our eyes to the fate of other nations and others that we should become friends and partners of the Axis powers or even initiate their dicta- torial methods.
 "The experience of the past two years" he said, "has proven beyond doubt that no nation can appease the Nazis. There can be no appease- ment with ruthlessness. We know that nation can have peace with tie Hazfs only at the price of total surrender.
 Even the people of Italy have been forced to become accomplices of the Nazis; but at this moment they do not know how soon they will be embraced to death by their allies.
 "The American appeasers ignore the warning to be found in the fate of Austria, Czecho- -Slovakia, Poland, Norwal, Belgium, the Meth erlands, Denmark and France. They tell you that the Axis powers are going to win anyway; that all this bloodshed in the world could be saved, and that the United States might as wei throw its influence in- to the scale of a dictated peace and get the best out of it we can.
 Gang Of Outlaws
 They call it a negotiated peace. Nonsense! Is it negotiated peace Of 8 gang of outlaws sur- rounds your community and on threat of eXtermination makes you pay tribute to save your own skins?
 Such a dictated peace would be no peace at all. It would be only another arnistice leading to the most gigantic armament race and the most devastating trade wars in history. And in these contests the Americas would offer the only real resistance to the Axis powers"
 Shooting, chains and concentra- ton camps are the altars of modern Relationships, MT. Roosevelt charged, talk as the dictators may of new orders" and of their efficiency and "pious' purposes in war. And he said these new orders" were "an unholy alliance of power and pelf to dominate and enslave the human race" Our own future security and our ability to keep out of war, he believes is greatly dependent on the fight Great Britain is making and there is far less chance of our be- coming a belligerent if we do all we can now to aid the British and other anti-axis belligerentS.
 If we are completely honest with ourselves" he continued, i've must admit there is risk in any course we may take. But I deeply believe that the great majority of our people agree that the course that advocate involves the least risk now and the greatest hope for world peace in the future"
 Self Evident Facts
 The President said certain facts were self evident, that Great Bri- tain and the Empire are the spear head of resistance against world
