 'RooSevelt's complete lack of IIn- dertSanding of the present great processes of historical develSplnens in Europe makes himself and the United States people enemies of Germany, Italy, Russia and Japan" !"
 Intrinsically, informantS said, there was nothing in the Presidents speech to make official comment worth while. Therefore, they said, they could only give corresponde ''informatively" the inspired com- ment to be published in German newspapers.

 "The German press will not with hold the contents of the speech from the German people, informants said. 'ItS standpoint will be that the speech, taken in consideration with the recent fireside speech, con- tains nothing particularly new"
 Another Crack
 'HThe chief difference (contin- ued informantS) is that the speech (to CongreSs) by the President of 120,000,000 American people in a still more undignified manner and a more excited tone completely ig- nores the historic processes at pres ent at work in the world.
 "The speech was provocative as regards the Axis powers and their friends. We noticed with interest that regarding world peace the Pres ident announced that neither he nor the United States would agree to peace brought about by an Axis victory.
 Formerly the German people used to listen with interest to a declaration of a United States Pres ident who was starting new period in office. The German people not only cannot discuss but must be completely amazed by the utter anceS of a President who violates, distorts, hurts, rapes and destroys all the spirit of the Western World today.
 we take cognizance of this as- surance and know how history will regard it, just as it has regarded many others of RooSevelt's assur- anceS.
 with arrogance which could scarcely be exceeded he completely ignored and failed to understand the present great process of his- torical development in Europe, thereby making himself and the United States people enemies of Germany, Italy, Russia and Japan.
 'The German peoples answer to- day would be exactly the same as it was in the days of the National So- cialist (NazD party's struggle for power, when in answer to insults, attacks and vituperations of its ad- versaries, one saw the placard ap- bearing with huge letters on the billboards throughout Berlin:

FRANCE, SPAIN
 TO GET SUPPLIES

and distributed in France under American Red Cross supervision.
 "This British concession in no wise alters the policy of blockading unoccupied France as whole," the ministry said. 'The administration arrangement by the American Red Cross is considered a sufficient guarantee for the British govern ment. The goods will go to an agreed destination in France"
 The ministry said that the ques- tion of shipments to Spain feel in 8 different category from shipments to France.
 Britain is not blockading Spain but rations Spanish imports" it said, ito assure sufficiency for all needs but no -exportable balance.
 If the American shipment to unoccupied France proceed satis- factorily there is no reason why we should not allow 8 further shipment but if We are unSatisfied, Britain reserves the right to refuse to allow further deliveries" the ministry said.
 Capital to Act Washington, Jan. B. (UP) Re liable sources said today the British government soon would relax its European blockade to permit red Cross relief ship to carry foodstuffs, medical supplies and, possibly, cloth ing into unoccupied France and Spain.
 Credence was added to the reports by dispatches from Vichy which quoted Admiral William D. Leahy, new U. S. ambassador to France, as saying he hoped soon to announce the arrival of an American relief ship with canned milk and medical supplies for French civilians.
 Plans for the Red Cross shipment have been under discussion infor- mally here for more than 8 month but a decision awaits word from Leahy. State department officials, asked for comment on the reports, said there has been no change in current deliberations.
 Red Cross officials reportedly have asked Britain for permission to send a relief snip into French ana Spanish waters and have requested clearance for the vessel from other belligerent governments. Thus far. however, no affirmative replies have been received.
 If clearance is given, it was dis closed, he Red Cross plans one ship loaded with condensed milk and vitamin concentrate for children and young mothers in occupied areas of France, approximately a halfload of wheat for Spanish war victims and medical supplies, and possibly clothing, for unfortunates in both countries.
 The first shipment would be made on an experimental basis, it was said, and others would follow if its mission is carried out without in- cident.

vance.
 Today was the day picked by many Balkan sources for a German move into Bulgaria. But the hours ticked away without evidence that the much-rumored invasion was about to come off.
 London speculated on the possible role of Soviet Russia in the Balkan crisis but admitted it was without certain information as to Moscow's position. Turkeys role is closely linked to that of Russia. Six weeks ago, it was said in London by Bal kan sources, Turkey warned Bull garia she would counter any Ger man move in that country.
 Sofia reported Bulgaria calm to- day with confidence somewhat re- stored by return to the capital of Premier Bogdon Filoff from Vienna where he went ostensibly for medi- cal treatment but according to some reports, actually for a conference with German Foreign Minister Joachim Won Ribbentrop.
 Reports Not True
 Filoff issued a statement assert ing that reports circulating in America in connection with my visit to Germany were not true" He did not elabirate, but it was presumed he referred to reports he had yielded there to a German ultimatum for occupation of Bulgaria.
 The weather in the Balkans still was not promising for military movements, with mountain passes choked with snow and many rivers clogged with ice or at flood stage.
 An important Soviet diplomat Alexandre Alexandrov, arrived to become charge d'affaires of the Sofia legation at Sofia. It was not known whether this was connected with the Balkan crisis.
 At Vichy, Admiral William D Leahy, new U. s. ambassador, pre- sented his credentials to Marshal Henri Philippe Petain at a brief ceremony.
 Air action by both Britain and Germany was restricted by bad weather. The German high com- mand reported scattered attacks ir Britain yesterday and an attack by Nazi speedboats on a convoy near the mouth of the Thames wheer a 2,500-ton ship was said to have been sunk. An 5000 ton ship was report ed sunk by dive-bomber attack west of Ireland.

he was sentenced to the Florida chain gang, served B months, and, upon release, returned to Water bury to face the theft charge.
 Varnauskas came back to Water bury and enlisted in the army. He went to Fort Devens.
 Public Defender Edward T. Car mody asked leniency for both men, citing the punishment already suf- fered by Kisonis in the Florida prison, and pointing out the good resolve and record of Varnauskas while at Fort Devens. Judge Mum ger asked what Carmody thought might be a lenient sentence, and Carmody replied he thought a light jail sentence would be sufficient. Judge Munger then asked for a recommendation from Prosecuting Attorney Fitzgerald, who replied by stating a shori term, perhaps one year, would satisfy the state. The sentence of ten months was then imposed.

WPA TOCARRY ON
 SPECIAL TRAINING
Hundreds Of Workers Now Qualified For Defense
 Program Instructions

With hunderds of WPA workers qualified and awaiting training and thousands of others potentially available, funds have been set up for the contribution of the national defense vocational training project for another six months, Acting WPA Administrator Frank Upman, Jr., stated today.
 No definite allocation for Connec- ticut has been made yet but what ever funds are needed for the con- tinuation and extension of the pro- gram here vii be provided for in the new national WPA allotment of SIT, 821 ,680-in addition to the $9,781, ,340 set up in July.
 In Connecticut total of 368 workers had completed training courese at the end of the year, with at least 300 having found private employment. Some 238 are at pres ent enrolled in courses throughout the state and 413 others have quali- fled for training.
 Of the entire state WPA enroll ment, a total of more than $500 have been found to have mechaical aptitude and many of these may be included in the training courses in the event of an expansion of the program.
 From the $1O.5sO,OOO pledged by the national office of education, which, with the National Defense Advisory commission, sponsors the project, an additional $60O,000 has been made available for use here, according to recent announcements
 Purpose of the project it to af- ford vocational training for unem- ployed workers in fields where shortages already exist or are antici- pated. The increased funds will make possible expansion of the fa- cilities of trade and vocational schools which are used for the courses.

Varnauskas, Kisonis
 Each Get 10 Months
Army Recruit And Florida Chain Gang Prisoner Plead
 Guilty To Theft And Robbery Charges

Stanley Varnauskas, 28, army recruit, and Peter KiSonis, 30, Flor ida chain gang prisoner who was re- turned to Waterbury to face charges of theft of an automobile and robbery with violence, were sen- tenced to 10 months in jail yeSter- day afternoon when they pleaded guilty before Criminal Court Judge Robert L. Munger.
 The charges grew out of theft which took place Jan. 26, 1898. States Attorney William B. Fitzger- aid outlined the case as follows: Kisonis and Varnauskas went to a used car dealer and asked for demonstration of one of the cars. Henry Voison was selected to give
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-01-08

the demonstration.
 The car was driven to Naugatuck and then to Oxford, where VoiSon was forced at gyn"point to give up seven dollars he had on his person. The two men then ordered Voison to step out of the car, changed the markers, and left on a trip which took them to New York, Penn., Ohio and Kentucky, where they ran out of funds.
 An attempt to sell the car was frustrated when Kisonis became suspicious of police. Both men fled, Kisonis heading for Florida and Varnauskas returned to Waterbury.
 In Florida Kisonis ran into fur- ther trouble, as result of which

 Censorship

Most newspaper men of the country have been giving a good deal of thought lately to the sub ject of censorship. The other day the Juneau Empire had some thing to say on Navy censorship. Tho Washington Merry Go Round column has started ser ies of articles contrasting Navy and Army public relations prac- tices. Meanwhile, the most sens ible statement on the whole ques ton which has come to our not ice Is that of Major G neral Rob ert Charlwood Richardson, new Army press chief, who says:
 As far as the War Depart mant is concerned, we have no intention of establishing or ask ing for censorship in any form as long as We are at pace.
 If we go to war, the only cen s9rship we will impose is cen sorship of international com munications. As far as domestic communications are concerned, We desire no form of censor ship.
 Our bureau was established not with the idea of propaganda, but with the idea of telling the truth about the Army and telling it accurately, not only about our . accomplishments but about our mistakes.
 All we expect from the Ameri can press is a fair r-ak. We don't want some small incident magnified out of all proportion n such a way as to destroy pub lie confidence in what we are do- ing
 In our opinion, that is sound and sensible statement. A fair break is asked: The press will double that. There is no sugges- ton that the press maintain a ridiculous silence upon facts which thousands of people know. There is no hint that editors should be expected to compete with each other in suppr -ssing news to which the public has a right.
 Instead, there is recognition that knowledge begets confidence that fully-informed public is far better backbone for a groat fighting force than a public fed on rumor, suspicion and fear. That is triply true in democ- racy such as ours.

EDITORIAL
Less Than Our Best

"We want England to win but
 We must not be involved in the war; we must not convoy ships; there must be no further disrupting of domestic industry; the outcome of the war is a mat ter of indifference to us
 Letters to American neWspap- CTS, protesting against the all-out aid to Britain policy to which this nation is committed usually conclude in the fashion indicated above. They come from persons who profess thzir friendlinesS for the British cause, but are op posed to every proposal involv- ing further assistance. Without exception. they would resent the charge that their philosophy is helpful to the Axis. but it is true in fuller measure than they re alize.
 From a reader who suggests that President Roosevelt pro- claim a state of national emer- gency com the declaration that the disunity born of the milk warm support so many favor is responsible for our inability to produce goods quickly and effic- iently, and to make decisions quickly and courageously For months now the government a; Washington has been waiting for public opinion to catch up with it's policy, but while it wat production lags, great deal of business proceeds as usual, and the nation does good deal less than its best either for it own defense or for aid to the Allies.
 Developing further his thought that proclamation of national emergency would be helpful at this time our correspondent con- tinues:
 We are not yet arrived at the realization that our private aims and ambitions should b. second ary to the national effort. Just the reverse. There are those on both sides of our industrial dis putes who regard the present crisis as a heaven-s-n 0pportun ity to improve their strategic po- sition. This unpatriotic attitude stems from the mental complac- ency of a great many Americans for whom national danger is still so remote as to be not worth considering"
 It is doubtless the failure of our leadership to convince the American public that the out come of the war is a matter O very grave concern to Use, and that speed will be required if we ar going to supply Britain with needed materials and supplies, that accounts for this complac- ency.
 There are the best reasons in the world for believing that our national security is imperiled full ly as much as it was when we entered the World War in 1917, but, because many have persuad ed themselves that we must stay out of this war at all cost, it has been impossible up to this time to get our d-fense program in high gear.
 AS the weeks pass and the for tunes of the war run against Britain and her Allies, thc import ance of arousing the American public to realization of our dan ger and of our responsibility be- comes more apparent, and Lin coln's observation that with public sentiment, nothing can fail; without it, nothing can sue ceed" becomes pertinent in ever higher degree to our national sit uation.

Forced to seek larger and more
modern quarters by increasing To-
cal demand for Dodge and Ply
mouth products, the new business
home is not only roomy and COM
modious but permits considerable
expansion of parts and service de
partments.
In charge of the service depart
ment is Fred Sowell, widely
known throughout Coolidge and
Casa Grande valley as compe-
tent and able mechanic.
Now on display in the show
room are several models of the
beautiful 1941 models of Dodge
and Plymouth passenger cars and
Dodge trucks.
A special feature of the open
ing day will be the continuous
performance of talking moving
pictures throughout the evening.
One of the pictures tells the story
of mechanical maneuvers of the
United States army while the sec
ond is a travelogue of the Denis

terror of India.
A general invitation to the op-
ening has been issued to all resi-
