So you think it is hot,
In this lovely spot?
And it would be nice
To sit on some ice?
Now don't be a fool,
Learn how to keep cool;

To be in Key West;
Why this is like heaven,
AT only eighty-seven;

Forgive their stupidity;

to risk the future of the country

work." the President said
Recalling then that he had en-
phaSized the Nations defensive
needs as long ago as 1888, for which
he was called an "alarmist," Mr..
Roosevelt, in his own words, next
proceeded to "indict these Repub-
ican leaders out of their own
mouths"
To accomplish this, he quoted
Representative Fish of New York,
who would be chairman of the
House Foreign Affairs Committee in
a Republican House; former Presi-
dent Hoover, and Senators Vanden-
berg of Michigan and Taft of Ohio.
In different words, each complained
between 1888 and 1910 of the ad-
ministration's emphasis on the
needs of preparedness.
To-day" Mr.. Roosevelt contrast
ed, sarcastically. they complain
that this administration has starved
our armed forces. that our Navy is
ansmlc. our Army puny and our
air forces piteously weak. This is
/ remarkable somersault."

through its leadership, played poll
tics with defense in 1893 and 1899

national security of America today.
Cites Vote on Issues.
Continuing his battling at the
record of Republican leaders of
Congress, the President next item
lied list of six specific defense
propositions on which majority of
Republicans in either House or SEN
ate had voted in opposition. First
was the naval expansion bill of
1888; second. a measure to author
ize purchase of strategic defense
materials; third, Republican vote
in 1899 to cut the number of au-
thorized Navy airplanes; fourth, a
Republican vote to reduce the ap.
preparation for the Army Air Corps,
ana, fifth, the repeal of the en-
barge against selling of military
equipment to victim nations of ag-
erosion.
Sixth was the Russell Overton
amendment providing for drafting
of industry for defense contracts in
event of non-co-operation
Obviously relishing the turning of
his phrases, Mr.. Roosevelt twice
raped at the Republican opposition
Of congressman Martin, Barton
and Fish to parts of this foreign
affairs-defense program. On the
Russell-Overton amendment, he hit
directly at the G. o. P. presidential
nominee, Wendell Willkie, although
continuing to refrain from use of

Outside the halls of Congress,
he said, eminent Republican can

rose up to demand it, they seized

ease, and reversed themselves in mid

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN. Oct. 29.-The German
public knew today that Italy had
served an ultimatum on Greece, but
1t was kept in ignorance Of the fact
that a new battlefront for the axis
actually had developed.
Nazi newspapers published the
text of the 24-hour- Italian I'LL
timatum with comment FROM Rome
as to why it was sent, but made no
mention of Greece's decision to
fight.
Instead, columns were devoted to
the Florence meeting of Premier
Mussolini and Adolf Hitler. with
assurances that 1t was all part Of
q development toward the axis vi
sion of a new Europe.

Gen. Jose Varela, Spanish War
Minister, had flown to Cabo Yubi.

lieved closely connected with the

Return to Germany.
Hitler and his staff, including
Foreign Minister Joachim Won Rib
bentrop, left Florence for Germany
at $40 pm. yesterday aboard the
Fuehrer's special train.
German newspapers hammered
home again and again the thesis
that If France wants a hand in the
new Europe being nodded by the
axis chieftains she must act now to
redeem herself by getting on their
side.
In this connection, official news
agencies reported the selection of
Frances Vice Premier Pierre Laval
as foreign minister in the Petain
cabinet shortly after his conference
with Hitler and Petain somewhere
in France.
German press agencies brought in
from several Balkan capitals assur-
ances that those countries either
were maintaining well-disciplined
neutrality or were glad to chorus
approval of Italy's action against
Greece.
No Speculation on Russia.
There was not solitary whisper
in the press or elsewhere as to what
the newest development in the
Balkans meant to Soviet Russia.
The National Zeitung for October
l9 was sent to American correspond
entS with a marked article which
said Britain was pursuing hopeless
course in trying to wean Russia
away from Germany.
