President Roosevelr3s
Talk as "Undignified
in Tone, Weak in Ar.

vincing".

Berlin, Dec. 81 (AP) Adolf
Hitlcr's reply to President Roose-
velts Sunday night speech on the
United States and the war will be
given for the present by the German
press, informed sources said today.
And the press, they added, will put
Mr.. Roosevelt's talk down as "un-
dignified in tone, weak in argument,
and not convincing.
In addition, it was said, the talk
would be characterized as san appeal
TO the lowest instincts of the Ameri-
can people,"
At the same time, from the pre-
sent handling of the German-Ameri-
can situation here as it results from
the Presidents talk, it seemed cvi-
dent that Germany does not choose
to be provoked.
From the viewpoint of strategy,
informed sources intimated, the
press will hold that the Presidents
speech is uninteresting because
United States support of England
cannot delay-much less prevent
BritainS defeat"
1t was said that the German press
would comment further that the
speech neither politically nor from
the viewpoint Of its contents caused
any surprise" and would add:
at is remarkable, however, for its
accumulation of partialities, I'M
truths and insults to Germany and
Italy"
The German press further was cx-
pected to express surprise that the
political leader of 120,000,000 peo-
pie takes up such phrases Of the
Jewish press and makes them the
subject of discourse to his people,"

NEW YORK, Nov. 8.-Contrary
to the trend in previous years, traffic
on the coast forecast and Pacific
Coast routes of United Air Lines
for the month Of october showed
an increase over that registered in
September, according to figures re-
leased yesterday by r. w. Ireland,
general traffic manager.
In the month United flew an esti-
mated total of 25,2O1 200 revenue
passenger miles, as against SIP ,532
in September. On the basis of con-
tinued heavy traffic over its entire
system, United announced, effective
November l, retention of all sched-
ules set at the peak of the summer
travel season.
In addition to showing a gain over
September, october business of
United Air Lines was almost so per
cent ahead of that for the same
month a year ago, when the COM
pany recorded l5,809,64O revenue
passenger miles.
The Washington Office of the COM
pany reports an increase of 80 per
cent in passenger revenue over the
october of last year and a gain of
16 per cent in passenger revenue
