GREEK DEFENDERS
COUNTER
Continued From Page One)

A British special liaison officer,
Major General M. D. Gambier-Par-
ry arrived in Athens last night
from Britain's Middle East COM
mand at Cairo.
The Greek attack on the Fascists'
northeastern flank, where the
Italians have been trying to break
through toward the Aegean sea
port of Salonika, occurred Friday
night north of Phlorina, the high
command said.
1t said four or five italian posts
were taken at the point of Greek
bayonets despite strong enemy
resistance" and nine officers, 153
men and 100 horses were captured.
At the coastal end of the line,
north of Ioannina Ganina), it said
heavy artillery fire was covering
the invaders tortuous path through
the mountains.
800 Casualties
With the Italians making slow
progress aground, the high COM
mand said, their airplanes have
been turned loose in lethal raids
on Greek cities. About 800 persons
were reported killed or wounded
yesterday. Raids continued through
out today.
Enemy air raids were directed
mainly against the civil population, %
communicate asserted. "Fffteen
cities and villages were attacked,
bombed and machine-gunned. There
were 90 dead and 209 wounded among
the civil population. Many buildings
including two hospitals and one
school, were destroyed.'
Greece's small air force was re-
ported to have made successful coun-
ter-blows and the communicate
claimed two italian planes were shot
down without any. Greek losses.
"Our aviation carried out num-
ber of successful scouting flights,
successfully bombed the airdrome at
Koritza at a low altitude, as well
as concentrations of motorized units
on the Epirus 'front.', 1t said.
"All of our planes returned to
their base. One enemy fighter was
shot down and it's pilot made pris-
oner. Another enemy bomber was
seen falling in flames near the en-
emy lines.''
Canea Also Bombed
italian targets today included Ca
nea, on the island of Crete, the
island of Corfu, and the port of
Patras, on the island of Pelopon'
nesus, where about SO bombs were
said to have fallen and 10 casual

of her sea power, still to attain the
peak of her war effort.
Victory slipped from the grasp of
Imperial Germany in 1914 at the
Marine. II may have just been missed
by Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy
at the English channel in 1940 The
axis partners are urgently seeking
means to offset in the east the dead
lock that confronts them in the west.
That has brought little Greece into
peril of fate similar to that suf-
fered by upward of a dozen other
continental nations and peoples since
Germany struck at Poland on Sep
tember 1, 1889.
Yet that fresh axis aggression,
whatever its ultimate strategic mean
ing, has done something else. 1t
has given Britain footholds at the
back door of the continent to carry
the war to her foes. Four months
ago with British evacuation of Mar
vik and Dunkerque she had been
of Europe.
British bombing of Naples in
southern Italy indicates that it is an
offensive, not a defensive role, which
Britain will attempt in the east. In
the past, she has sporadically bombed
northern Italy, attacking from Eng.
land and across the Swiss Alps. Pre-
sumably the attack on Naples came
from eastward, not westward.
British planes may have hoped tc
that target from airplane carriers In
the Mediterranean, or from bases on
Crete or other Greek islands, From
Crete, Naples is within easy bombing
distance. So also is the southern
end of the Rumanian oil field, Nazi
guarded and therefore open to Brit
ish attack. That was a risk Italy
took in attacking Greece.
Only time will tell whether Brit
ain can follow through in force tc
seize the opportunity. There is nc
question, however, that the first
fruit of Italy's new thrust is to open
a back door to the two most vulner.
able points in axis armor - italian
public morale and Rumanian oil.
For that reason, the 18th month of
the war could more clearly indicate
it's outcome than all the stunning
events of the IA months that pre-
ceded it.

p'' Certain Forces"

w. osed of men who call themselves
t,noerican but who would destroy
AMERICA" Mr.. Roosevelt said.
They are the forces Of dictator
hin in our own land-on one hand
.ha M communists, and on the other
the girdlers.
w "Tt is their constant purpose in
+bis as in other lands, to weaken
samocracy, m to destroy the free

I'm this election all the repre-
.ortatjves of those forces, without
ovceptlon, are voting against the
New Deal.
Il am proud of this opposition.
7. is proof positive that what we
bova built and strengthened in the
nast seven years is democracy"
Mr. Roosevelt did not define the
term "girdlers" nor explain it's
origin.
In his address, coming at the
end of day of campaigning
through eastern New York, a
corner of Pennsylvania and into
ohio the President asserted that
the American people, during the
mast seven years, had marched
forward out of a wilderness of de-
nression and despair. He con-
tinued.
They have marched forward
right up to the very threshold of
the future-a future which holds
the fulhllment of our hopes for
real freedom, real prosperity, real
peace.
81 want that march to continue
for four more years. And for that
purpose, l ask your vote of conf
dence."
In a detailed discussion of the
administrations foreign policy,
the chief executive said its first
purpose was to keep the country
out of war.
At the same time, Mr. Roosevelt
declared, we seek to keep foreign
conceptions of government out of
the United States.'
The Second Purpose
The second purpose of this
policy, he said, was ito keep war
as far away from the shores of the
entire western hemisphere"
Also our policy is to give all
possible material to the nations
which still resist aggression, across
the Atlantic and Pacific oceans"
he chief executive said.
I'VE make it clear that we in
tend to commit none Of the fatal
errors Of appeasement.
Ours is the foreign policy of an
administration which has an un-
dying faith in the strength of our
democracy today, full confidence
in the vitality of our democracy
in the future, and a consistent rec
ord in the cause of peace"
The nations strength was meas
ured, he continued, not only in
terms Of the might of its arma-
ments but also in the social and
economic justice of the system in
which we live"
For you can build ships and
tanks and guns galore; but they
will not be enough the President
declared. You must place behind
them an invincible faith in the in
sututlons which have been built to
defend.
The dictators have devised :.
a modern, streamlined version of
an ancient system.
But Americans will have none
of that"
