Sees Move Toward War.
Still slowly perhaps. but inexor-
ably, the United States moves
toward war" the Evening Star COM
mented, declaring the speech
amounted to tremendous often
sive against Hitler"
Lord Beaverbrook' Standard, an
afternoon tabloid, said:
president Roosevelt has acted
These are deeds. not words. =
He challenges our enemy. His Ma
tion does not yet finally defy Nazi
ambition to conquer earth. 1t has
def1ed her ambition to rule
IF not all America, at least the
American Navy equipped by the
Presidents foresight is ready for
war. 1t is at grips with Nazi Ger
many on the Atlantic now and soon
its zone of operations may be ex-
tended to these shores
The Star said the speech was we'll
timed to spike Axis efforts to exert
pressure at the moment that Con-
gress was debating whether to use
the United States only real weapon,
the Navy.
Called Hallucinat tiOns.
The Germans denounced Mr..
Roosevelt's charge of Nazi plans for
conquest and reorganization of Latin
America
This part of the speech was de-
scribed by Berlin sources as "the
climax of Roosevelt fantasy and the
emanation of hallucinations which
are as bad as they are absurd"
The secret map which President
Roosevelt said had come into his
possession showing Germany's plans
with regard to South America they
called "a complete sWindle and
forgery" and challenged him to say
where he got it and why he kept
it so long"
IF Roosevelt's henchmen manu-
factured one it's a clear forgery in
tended to out-do all previous for
geries," they added.
The whole speech, Germans said,
was "a conglomeration of suspicious,
insults, ISLANDERS. falsifications and
suppositions which could not by any
stretch of the imagination be worse"
They asked how statesman who
deems himself responsible for the
fate of the whole hemisphere" could
resort to such monstrous asser-
tions" unless he wanted war "at any
cost"
Envision Attacks ON Conveys.
Mr. Roosevelts statement that the
Navy must protect merchant ships
which must enter belligerent ports
meant to observers in Rome that
the United States would start con-
voys as soon as the Neutrality Act
was abrogated.
Axis ships would then attack the
conveys in the war zone and that
would bring the United States into
the war as belligerents, they rea-
soned. For that reason they thought
the speech was Mr.. Roosevelt S
frankest and strongest in long Sc
ries they said was intended to pre-
pare Americans for war.
Fascist observers said they consid-
cred the speech was a move to as
sure passage of the Presidents pro-
gram through Congress.

a mighty German army and tired
German people can crumble rapidly
and 60 to pieces when they are
faced with successful resistance.
Nobody who admires qualities of
courage and endurance can fail to
be stirred by the full-fedged resist
ance of the Russian people. The
Russians are fighting for their own
soil and their own homes. Russia
needs all kinds of help-planes
tanks, guns, medical supplies and
other aids-toward the successful
defense against the invaders. From
the United States and from Britain,
she is getting great quantities of
those essential supplies But the
needs of her huge army will con-
tinue-and our help and British
help will have to continue!
The other day the Secretary OF
State of the United States was
asked by a Senator to justify our
giving aid to Russia. His reply was
The answer to that depends on how
anxious a person is to stop and de-
stroy the march of Hitler in his
conquest of the world. If he were
anxious enough to defeat Hitler, he
would not worry about who was
| helping to defeat him"
Upon our American production
falls the colossal task of equipping
our own armed forces and helping
to supply the British, the Russians
and the Chinese. In the perform
ance of that task we dare not fail
And we will not fail.
Some Misread America.
1t has not been easy for us Ameri-
| cans to adjust ourselves to the
shocking realities of a world in
which the principles of common
humanity and common decency are
being moved down by the firing
| squads of the Gestapo. We have
. enjoyed many of Gods blessings.
We have lived in a broad and
abundant land and by our industry
and productivity we have made it
| flourish.
There are those who say that our
| great good fortune has BETRAYED us
that We are now no match for the
regimented masses who have been
trained in the Spartan ways of ruth
less brutality. They say that WE
have grown fat and flabby and lazy
and that we are doomed.
But those who say that know
nothing OF America or of American
! life
They do not know that this land
is great because it is a land of end
| less challenge Our country was
first populated, and it has beer
steadily developed, by men and
women in whom there burned the
spirit of adventure and restleSsness
and individual independence which
will not tolerate oppression.
Ours has been a story of vigorous
challenges which have been &C
cepted and Observation-Disclosures OF
uncharted seas. of wild forests and
desert plains, of raging floods and
whitening drought. of foreign tyrants
and domestic strife, of staggering
problems-social, economic and
physical; and we have come out OF
them the most powerful Nation
and the freest-in all of history.
Today in the face OF this newest
and greatest challenge, we Amer
leans have cleared our decks and
taken our battle stations. We stand
ready in the defense of our Nation
and the faith of our fathers to dc
what God has given us the power

NEW YORK, Oct. 28.-Edmund
Heine, so, former 0,000-a-year
Ford Motor Co. manager in Ger
many, today placed in evidence sew
eral aviation magazines and stand
ard aviation yearbooks as sources Of
information which he sent to Ger
many.
On trial with IA others in Brook
lyn Federal Court on charges of
espionage conspiracy, Heine ac-
knoWledged that he submitted the
Reich lengthy reports on American
aircraft production and develop
mentS, but contended that all the
information had been published in
this country.
George Gordon Battle. Heine's
counsel, declared in arguing for ad-
mission OF the books and magazines
that the public nature of the ma

important.
The important thing is what
Heine did with the reports con-

Heine testified that he was dis

after war broke out, he was offered

trucks of ammunition and dispersed
an infantry regiment by bombs and
machine-gun fire. Another group Of
planes was reported to have de-
stroved 13 German tanks and 35
trucks carrying infantry.
A large group of German prisoners
were reported taken in the Mozhaisk
direction.
The Russians found further cheer
in a Red Army communique re-
porting sharp deterioration of
German troops morale and declaring
that the Nazi invaders were 'on the
verge of exhaustion after four
months Of campaigning.
"A majority of the prisoners are

London military observers said
they expected Marshal Semeon
Timoshenko, Russian commander in
the south, to attempt to hold the
lower Don River at any cost with
the backing of reserves trained by
Marshal Semeon Budyenny, his pre-
decessor in the southern command.
Rostov, a manufacturing and
transportation center, lies on the
north bank of the Don and hence
the river will be of no help to the
Russians in defense of the city
against a direct attack by the Ger
mans, who were only 80 miles away
to the west last week.

One strategist. however, said the
Germans might intensity their drive
into the Crimea and, if successful.
ferry troops across the narrow neck
of the Sea of Azov from Kerch to
attack Timoshenko's armies from
the rear and open the door for a
possible winter campaign in the
Caucasus.
Conflicting claims blurred the
Crimean picture. Berlin said Rus
sian defenses at the land approach,
the Perekop Isthmus, had been
broken in a decisive fashion" Mos
COW said assaults on Soviet positions
were beaten back with losses as high
as so per cent for the invaders.

Our determination not to take 1t

the orders to the American Navy to
shoot on sight. Those orders stand.
Furthermore, the House Of Rep
resentatives has already voted to
amend part of the Neutrality Act of
1887, today outmoded by force OF

Committee on Foreign Relations has
also recommended elimination OF
other hamstringing provisions in

It cannot be hampered by the self

The lines of our essential defense
now cover all the seas, and to meet
the extraordinary demands of today

precedented size. Our Navy is ready

Our new Army is steadily develop
