Western Hemisphere Not
Safe Against Ambition
OF Nazis, Say F d r

WASHINGTON, June IA.
UP) - President Roosevelt
today cited the record of
Gcrmany's broken pledges to
other nations as discounting
reports quoting Adolf Hitler as say
ing that he has no aspirations in
the Western Hemisphere.
That brings up recollections,"
Mr.. Roosevelt said, permitting di-
rect quotation of his response to
press conference questions about
Hitler's expression.
He said that should be sufficient
comment. adding that it could be
expanded upon indefinitely with
references to specific dates and ma
TONS
The president implied that Ger
many's record of violating pledges
to other nations does not permit
this country to rest assured that
the Nazi aspirations will not be
projected into the new world. Mr.
Roosevelt made his remark in COM
menting on an interview with Hit
Ter by Karl Won Weigand, Ameri-
can correspondent.
Mr. Roosevelt, repeating that Am
erica already is doing all in her
power to extend material resources
to the beleaguered Allies, refused
to comment further on the last
