BRITAIN STRONGER

The British have received IN
valuable military support from the
heroic Greek army. and from the
forces OF. all the governments in
exile.
Their strength Is growing. It Is
the strength of men and women
who value their freedom more
highly than they value their lives.
/ believe that the Axis powers
are not going 10 win this war. I
base that belief on the latest and
best information.
We have no excuse for defeat
ism. We have every good reason
for hope-hope for peace. hope for
the defense OF our civilization and
for the building of better civili-
cation in the future.
I have the profound conviction
that the American people are now
determined to put forth a nightier
effort than they have ever yet
made to increase our production
of all the implements of defense.
TO meet the threat TO our demo-
cratic faith.
AS President Of the United
States. I call for that national
effort. I call for it in the name of
this nation which we love and
honor and which we are privileged
and proud TO serve.
/ call upon our people with abb
solute confidence that our common
cause. will greatly succeed.

OUTLINES POLICY

Observers agreed that il was
perhaps the most important state
ment Of policy outlined by Mr..
Roosevelt since 1888.
White House attaches openly
conceded that the purpose of the
speech was TO crystalline public
sentiment in favor of the British
aid program and thus insure
speedy approval of necessary leg
islation and appropriations by the
new Congress that convenes next
Friday
Immediately after the President
had concluded his broadcast. tele-
grams started pouring into the
White House. Attaches said that
the overwhelming majority of
these communications expressed
complete accord with Mr.. Roose-
velt's determination of virtual all
out aid for Britain.

also directed a warning TO Amer

Mr.. Roosevelt added
The Presidents denunCiation Of
Germany and her Axis allies was
one Of the most acidly-worded
statements ever directed by the
head of a nation TO another ma
ton with which il is al peace.
THE plain facts are that the
Nazis have proclaimed, time
and again, that all other races
are their interiors and therefore
subject to their ORDERS" he said.
THE NaZi masters Of Germany
have made II clear that they in
tend not only to dominate all
life and thought In their own
country. but also TO enslave the
whole of Europe, and then to
use the resources of Europe to

LONDON, Dec. 30 = President
Roosevelt's radio address. predict
ing an Axis defeat and promising
aid to Britain. was hailed by au-
thoritative London quarters today
as lone OF the most powerful in
dictments of Nazidom ever
spoken"
These quarters described the
Presidents words as further
proof of what they termed a
courageous and realistic American
attitude toward the dangers con-
fronting democracy.
British circles stressed their
contention that such dangers exist
mo less in the Western Hem
isphere than In Ellrope and Asia"

ASSERTION WELCOMED

All British quarters welcomed
the American Chief Executives
assertion that the United States
must become the arsenal OF
democracy"
One government spokesman as
serted that the Presidents express
sion of belief in the ultimate
defeat Of the Axis will prove an
inspiration for the leaders as well
as the people of Britain.
The presidential promise 10
speed the pelHH4e- of American
material for England il was said,
is OF vital importance to the people
of Britain. and his observations
upon the impossibility of appeas-
ink aggresSors were received with
great satisfaction.
London morning newspapers and
early evening editions played up
the address on their front pages,

LABOR MUST HELP

I would ask no one to defend a
democracy which in turn would
not defend every one in the ma
ton against want and privation.
The strength OF this nation shall
not be diluted by the failure of
the government 10 protect the
economic well-being of all cit
lZens.
If our capacity to produce Is
limited by machines. IL must ever
be remembered that these ma
chimes are operated by the skill
and the stamina Of the workers.
AS the government is deter
mined to protect the rights of
workers. so the nation has a
right TO expect that the men who
man the machines will discharge
their full responsibilities to the
urgent needs of defense.
The worker possesses the same
human dignity and is entitled to
the same security of position as
the engineer or manager or owner.
For the workers provide the hu-
man power that turns out the de-

COORDINATE EFFORTS
And on the economic side of

are. as you know. bending every
effort to maintain stability OF

of the cost of living.

setting up of more effective

your government to send such a
force.
You can, therefore, nail any talk
about sending armies to Europe as
deliberate untruth.
Our national policy is not d.
rected toward war. Its sole pur-
pose is to keep war away from our
country and our people.
AID NOT UNNEUTRAL
Democracy's fight against world
conquest is being greatly aided,
and must be more greatly aided,
by the rearmament of the United
States and by sending every ounce
and every ton of munitions and
supplies that we can possibly
spare to help the defenders who
are in the front lines.
II is no more unneutral for us to
do that than II is for Sweden. Rus
STA and other nations near Ger
many to send steel and ore and oil
and other war materials into Ger
many every day.
We are planning our own de-
Tense with the utmost urgency,
and in its vast scale we must in
-tegrate the war needs of Britain
and the other free nations resist
ing aggression.
This is not a matter OF senti-
ment or of controversial personal
opinion. 1t is matter OF realistic
military policy. based on the ad-
vice of our military experts who
are in close touch with existing
warfare.
These military and naval ex-
perts and the members Of the
Congress and the administration
have single-minded purpose
the defense of the United States.
This nation is making great
effort to produce everything that
is necessary in this emergency
and with all possible speed. This
great effort requires great sacri-
fee

MORE OF EVERYTHING

Manufacturers OF watches, OF
farm implements, linotypes, cash
registers, automobiles. sewing ma
chimes, lawnmowers and locomo-
'tives are now making fuses,
bomb packing crates, telescope
mounts. shells. pistols and tanks.
But all our present efforts are
not enough. We must have more
ships, more guns. more planes
more Of everything. This can only
be accomplished if we discard the
notion of business as usual.
Our defense efforts must not
be blocked by those who fear the
future consequences of surplus
plant capacity. The possible con-
sequences of failure of our defense
efforts now are much more to be
feared.
After the present needs of our
defense are past, proper ham
ding of the country's peace-time
needs will require all of the new
productive capacity-if not more.
No pessimistic policy about the
future of America shall delay the
immediate expansion of those in

the shore, and in turn admit their
members upon presentation Of their
cards. This arrangement guaran-
tees the members six dances for
$500.

in addition TO the one at home.
The officers are: President, Phil

KENT TOMATO RECORDS

County Agent Wilson Hopes To Sc.
cure Valuable Data On Crop

In order to determine the factors,
aside from weather conditions, which
are responsible for the success or
failure in the growing of tomatoes
in Kent county, cost. of production
and fertilization records are being
obtained from a number of farms by
County Agent Russell e. Wilson, in
cooperation with Kenneth w. Baker.

Extension Service.
This is the third consecutive year
in which this tomato improvement
project has been included in the
county program of extension work
in cooperation with Libby, McNeili
and Libby and The American Potash
Institute. and some very interesting
and worth while records have been
secured indicating that early setting
of plants in the field and proper cul-
tivation and fertilization greatly in
fiuence the yield and quality. The
results of these demonstrations are
tabIlated each year for comparative
purposes, and after this project has
heen carried IN over a period OF
years it will be possible to obtain
some information that will be Of
value to all tomato growers through
out shis section Of the country.
For a number of years the COM
mevcial tomato industry in the cas-
tern section Of the United States has
been ON the decline due to low yields
and interior quality for canning pur-
poses, as compared to the tomato
crop in the middle west and other
areas. This situation has been Civ
en- much consideration by local can
ners and farmers who are deeply
concerned about the possibilities of
this industry moving out Of this
area because Of this competition from
these other sections For this rea-
