Our course Is clear. Our de-

from overseas. Why should we
accept assurances that We are
immune? History records that
not long ago those same assur-
ances were given to the people Of
Holland and Belgium.
1t can no longer be disputed
that forces Of evil which are bent
on conquest of the world will de-
stroy whomever and whenever
they can destroy. We have
learned the lessons Of recent
years. We know that If we seek
to appease them by withholding
aid from those who stand in
their way We only hasten the day
Of their attack upon us.

us, are determined to do every

Hurls Grim Challenge.
His defiant challenge to any COM

his pledge that there will be no
curtailment of aid to Britain Mr.
Roosevelt gave slowly and with
grim emphasis.
His rejection of all thoughts of
appeasement followed in like tone.
"Our course is clear" he said.
"Our decision is made. We will con-
tinue to pile up our defense and
our ornaments. We will continue
to help those who resist aggres-
sion and who now hold the aggres-
sors far from our shores. Let no
American in any part of the Amer

Immediately after the speech, his
special train left for its return run

Earlier Mr.. Roosevelt had spent
an afternoon touring Dayton, most
of his time being devoted to a close
examination of more than a score
varied types of military airplanes
at Wright Field, and to the numer-
GUS experimental projects under way
there.
His son Elliott this week entered
the service as a non-hying captain

Mr.. Roosevelt stopped of at Co.

or people. or nation, to control
any other. The only encircle-
ment sought is the encircling
bond of good old-fashioned
neighborly friendship. So bound
together we are able to withstand
any attack from the East or from
the West. Together we are able
to ward of any infiltration Of
alien political and economic ideas
which would destroy our free
dom and democracy.
When we speak of defending
this Western Hemisphere, we are
speaking not only of the terri
tory of North, Central and South
America and the Immediately
adjacent islands. We include the
right to the peaceful use of the
Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
That has been our traditional
policy.
It is fact, for example, that
as far back at 1898 the United
States found that its peaceful
trade and commerce with other
parts of the Americas were
threatened by armed privateers
sent to the West Indies by ma
tions then at war in Europe. Be-
cause of this threat to peace in
this hemisphere the U. S. S.
Constitution and many other
ships were fitted out; and they
drove the armed vessels Of Eur
ope out of the waters to the
south of us and made commerce
between the Americas once more
peaceable and possible.
Americas Determined
To Work for Peace.
We Of the Americas still con-
slider that this defense of these
oceans of the Western Hemi-
sphere against acts of aggression
is the first factor in the defense
and protection of our own terri
tory and integrity. We reafIirm
that policy, lest there be any
doubt Of our intention to main
tain it.

ton.
I'VE know" he continued, that
attempts have been made, we know
that they will continue to be made,
to divide these groups within an ma
ton, and to divide these nations
among themselves.
Americans as individuals, Ameri-
can republics as nations, remain on
guard against those who seek to
break up our unity by preaching
ancient race hatreds, by working
on old fears, or by holding out gilt
tering promises which they know to
be false"
Scornfully. the President raped
back at critics of the democratic
ideal, at the propaganda that calls
democracy a decadent form of gov
ernment, that calls democratic ira
ditions things of the past.
1--WE Are the Future"
I'VE reject this thought" he an
swered. I'VE say that we are the
future.
THE command of the democratic
faith has been ever onward and up
ward. -. We have always held to
the hope, the belief, the conviction
that there is a better life, a better
world, beyond the horizon.
THAT fire of freedom was in the
eyes of Washington and Bolivar,
and San Martin, and Artigas, and
Juarez, and Bernardo OHiggins,
and all the brave, rugged, ragged
men who followed them in the wars
Of independence.
That fire." he added then, burns
now in the eyes of those who are
fighting for freedom in lands across
the sea-"
In seeming answer, then, to accu-
eations that the manner and the
meaning Of the administration for
eign policy are drawing us into war,
Mr.. Roosevelt gave this reply:
THE clear facts have been stated
over and over again. This country
wants no war with any nation. This
hemisphere wants no war with any
nation. The American republics are
determined to work in unity for
peace just as we work in unity to
defend ourselves from attack.
For many years every ounce of
energy I have had has been de-
voted to keeping this Nation and
the other republics at peace with
the rest of the world. That is what
continues uppermost in my mind
today-the objective for which ]
hope and work and pray.
1--WE arm to defend ourselves
The strongest reason for that is
that it is the strongest guarantee
Of peace"
Particularizing somewhat on the
extent of this arming for total de-
tense. the President took occasion
to acknowledge "the fullest Coop
Grafton and assistance of industry
and labor" and the most complete
frankness and cooperation among
the American republics.
OF the latter quality, he added
that I'VE intend to encourage this
frank interchange Of information
and plans. We shall be all for one
and one for ALL"

DAYTON, Ohio, Oct. 12.-Tert
OF President RooseDelts radio ad-
dress tonight to all the nations
Of the Western Hemisphere.
It is no mere coincidence that
this radio broadcast tc the entire
Western Hemisphere, North
America, Central America and
South America should take place
on the anniversary of Christie
pher Columbus discovery of the
New World. No dav could be
more appropriate than this day
on which we celebrate the ex-
ploits of the bold discoverer.
Today, all of us Americans of
North and Central and South
America. join with our fellow cit
liens of Italian descent to do
honor to the name cl Columbus.
Many and numerous have been
the groups of Italians who have
come in welcome waves of immi-
grafton to this hemisphere. They
have been an essential element
IN the civilization and makeup of
all of the 81 republics. During
these centuries Italian names
have been high in the list of
statesmen in the United States
and in the other republics, and
those have helped t. create the
scientific, commercial. profess
sional and artistic life Of the
New World.
They Fought to Give
Hope to All the World.
The Americans have excelled in
the adventure Of many races liv-
in together in harmony. In the
wake of the discoverers came the
first settlers, the first refugees
from Europe. They came to
plough new fields, build new
homes, establish a new society in
q new world. Later, they fought
for liberty Men and women of
courage, of enterprise, of vision,
they knew what they were fight
Ing for; they gained it, and
thereby gave hope to all the
world for all future time
They formed, here in the
Western Hemisphere, a new
human reservoir and into it has
poured the blood, the culture,
the traditions of all the races
and peoples of the earth. To the
Americas they came, the masses
yearning to be free "the null
titudes brought hither out Of
many kindred and tongues" cher
ishing common aspirations, not
for economic betterment alone,
but for the personal freedoms and
liberties which had been denied
to them in the old world.
They came not to conquer one
another, but to live with one an
other. They proudly carried with
them their inheritance Of cul-
ture, but they cheerfully left
behind the burden of prejudice
and hatred.
In this New World were trans
planted the great cultures of
Spain and Portugal. In our own
day the fact is that a great part
of the Spanish and Portuguese
culture of the entire world now
comes from the Americas.
No Dual Citizenship
In This Hemisphere.
1t is natural that all Ameri-
can citizens from the many ma
tions of the Old World should
kindly remember the lands where
their ancestors lived and the
great attributes of the old civil
ization in those lands. But in
every single one of the American
republics the first and final al
legiance and loyalty of these citi-
zenS, almost without exception, is
to the republic in which they
live and move and have their
being.
For when our forefathers came
to these shores they came with a
determination to stay and to be-
come citizens of the New World.

ing Is slowly drawing one or
all Of us into war with some ma
ton or nations beyond the seas.
The clear facts have been
stated over and over again. This
country wants no war with any
nation. This hemisphere wants
no war with any nation. The
American republics are deter
mined to work in unity for peace
Just as we work in unity to de-
fend ourselves from attack.
For many years every ounce

The strongest reason for that is
that it is the strongest guaran-

And we are keeping the ma

We have welcomed the military

military experts have been well

American Republics
Seal Their Unity.
The idea Of a defense strong
enough and wide enough to cover
this half of the world had its
beginnings when the Govern
ment Of the United States an
nounced its policy with respect
to South America. 1t was the
policy of the good neighbor, the
neighbor who knew how to mind
his own business, but was always
willing to lend a friendly hand to
. friendly nation which sought
1t, the neighbor who was willing
to discuss In all friendship the
problems which will aways arise
between neighbors.
From the day on which that
policy was announced, the Amer
lean Republics have consulted
with each other; they have peace
fully settled their old problems
and disputes; they have grown
closer and closer to each other;
until at last in 1898 at Lima,
their unity and friendship were
sealed.
There was then adopted a dec
laration that the new world pro-
posed to maintain collectively the
freedom upon which its strength
had been built. It was the culmi-
nation Of the good neighbor pol
icy, the proof of what was said
by that famous Argentinian Of
Italian birth, Alberdi THE
Americas are a great political
system"
The parts drew life from the
whole; and the whole draws life
from its parts
Deal With Rritain
Strengthened U. S. Navy.
Through the acquisition Of
eight naval bases in territories
OF the British Empire lying with
in the sphere of the New World,
from Newfoundland to Guiana,
we have increased the immediate
effectiveness of the great Navy
which we now have and of the
greater Navy we have under con-
struction. These bases were ac-
quired by the United States; but
not for the protection Of the
United States alone. They were
acquired for the protection of the
whole Western Hemisphere. The
unity of the American Republics
was proven to the world. when
these naval bases were promptly
opened by the United States to
the other republics for co-opera-
tive use. In that act was typifled
the good neighbor conception of
hemisphereic defense through CO.
operation by and for all Of us.
American radio stations will
play their part in the new unity
which has been built so solidly
between the American nations
during the past eight years. They
must be effective instruments for
the honest exchange and COM
munication OF ideas. They must
never be used as stations in other
lands are used, to send out on the
same day one false story to one
country and a different false
story to another.
The core Of our defense Is the
faith we have in the institutions
we defend. The Americas will
not be scared or threatened into
the ways the dictators want us to
follow.
No combination of dictator
