victories probably foreshadows fur ther demands upon Congress and the American people, Italian sources said.
 Among the views expressed here were:
 The speech primarily was an oc- casion for MT. Roosevelt to explain the eight point program he worked out with British Prime Minister Winston Churchill at the Atlantic conference;
 The lack of any direct attack on Japan indicated an effort by MT Roosevelt to draw Japan from the Axis;
 MT. Roosevelt tried to minimize the importance of Adolf Hitler's conference with Benito Mussolini last week by failing to mention it;
 As an appeal ito United States workers on Labor Day, the speech stressed the gravity of strikes and other labor troubles in the United States;
 MT. Roosevelt used the language of the head of state at war.
 The morning newspapers general ly played down the speech, publish ing only brief summar from the official news agency on the back pages.
 NAZI SPOKESMAN REACTS
 Berlin, Sept. 2-(UP)-A Nag spokesman asserted today that Pres ident Roosevelt's Labor Day address revealed him as "a new Kerensky who is trying to WOO the workers support and at the same time acting as a pacemaker for Bolsevism."
 On the one hand" the spokes- man said, Roosevelt is making use of Bolshevism to forward his i'm perialistic ambitions and on the other hand he speaks of the Sanctity of religion and of everything that is the negation of Bolshevism.
 This discrepancy is reflected throughout the speech.
 Roosevelt spoke regarding work CTS rights, forgetting, perhaps, thai the highest and most sacred right is the right to work which certainly is not reflected in the United States unemployment figures. All in all the speech contained no new foreign political ideas It's internal politi- cal perspectiveS are characterized by the problems mentioned above"
 Senator Wheeler Reads
 St. Charles, H., Sept. 2.-(UP)- Senator Burton K. Wheeler, D. Mont, asserted last night that la- bor would lose its "hard won rights for generations if the United States enters the war.
 "In any war, 1t is the men ano women of labor who do the fight ing and dying-and the paying, he told an audience at the annual St, CharlSs fall festival. His ad- dress, earrtNd by the Mutual Broad. casting SysEsm was sponsored by the America First Committee.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
SPLINTERS

A coon TONIC.
A GOOD TONIC.

We are told that Will Rogers
never told a funny story, but he
could see something humorous in
nearly everything that happened.
He surely had keen sense of hui
NOR, and we envy men of that type.
Humor and happiness seem to 60
hand in hand. Those who are UNI
able to see the funny side of life,
miss much Of the joy Of living.
Laughter is tonic for the soul It
is ''the poor mans plaster, covering
up each sad disaster"
1t is easy to laugh at other peo-
Piles troubles. When anyone, es-
pecially the fat man, slips on a
banana skin, we always laugh. 1t
is SO funny to see some fellow chas-
ing his hat down the street. But
can we laugh at ourselves in such
or similar predicaments? AS a boy
l once attended a school picnic, and
/ happened to tear my duck trou-
sers on some barb wire. Did |
laugh? No! I went home. / had to.
Hans wanted to buy his neigh
boris black mare. Before selling
her, Ole stated that the mare did
not look very good. Hans found the
mare to be blind and wanted Ole
to take her back. But said Ole, Il
told you the mare did not look
very good" II Hans was able to
laugh at himself, he was a fortu-
nate man. The ability to see the hui
morous in ones own vexations, is a
shock absorber which lessons the
jars and jolts Of life.
Another year lies ahead of us.
Some folks will be making New
Year resolutions. How about try
ing to discover the sunny side to
every situation or incident, if there
be one. Look for the bright spots.
Look for the sunshine. Laugh your
worries away and you'll be in sym
pathy with the world. Sound cher
ry note, for, after all:
This is not SO bad a world,
As some would like to make it;
But whether it seems good or bad,
Depends on how you take it."

Building Boom

A building boom that may tax the
capacities Of the construction indus
try Is foreseen as one result OF
Americas new national defense pro-
gram by building men and material
manufacturers over the country.
Recalling the serious housing short
age during the World war, those in
the construction industry point out
that President Roosevelt's plan for
vast new ornaments will have
much the same effect. The pickup
In heavy capital goods is certain to
carry with it vast employment

ties are foreseen as creating huge

field as well as an increased mar
ket for small homes to prosperous

WASHINGTON.--The two most
encouraging phases of the war, from
the standpoint of hoping that Britain
holds out, are that Germany is suf-
fering great deal more in damage
to her own war production than any
dispatches have indicated, and that
the Italian fiasco in Greece has post
poned successful attack on Egypt
and Suez until next winter.
British production vi alrplanes has
been badly hurt by the German air
raids, but imports from the United
States now amount to slightly above
300 fighters and bombers a month.
This is behind schedule, incidental
ly. United States production OF all
classes OF planes is about 200 a
month behind schedule.
But the number of combat planes
is now actually above 300 each
month, and this number is being
slowly increased each month.
Sometime in early summer, assum-
ing Britain holds out, there will be
a sharp Increase in production. A
little later, depending entirely on
how rapidly the Detroit group of
automobile people get into actual
production, there will be another
sharp rise.
OUTLOOK is ENCOURAGING
1t is all a question Of whether
Britain can take it until quantity de-
hveries begin. Information in diplo-
matte circles here now is more en-
couraging on that than at any time
in the last six months, and this de-
spite the bad news about the dam
age to plants in Britain.
While President Roosevelt talks
about our own national defense need
ing one-haf Of our, production of
planes, actually practically all the
fighting planes are being sent to
Britain. This is not as one-sided
as it sounds. Our army and navy
want training planes for student pi-
lots far more than they want fight
ing planes. This situation is likely
to continue for some time to come.
But while Germany's production
OF planes has been cut down as
result of British bombing. according

SUBMARINE BASE UNLIKELY

The government OF Fire is very
inquisitive about the source OF the
information of one OF the military
experts who writes newspaper
column. and who recently asserted
that he knew" the Germans were
using Galway as a base for sub
marine operations.
The Dublin government contends
that the Germans could not possibly
use any Irish base without every
body knowing about it. In particu-
lar, officials Of the Irish government
insist, the topography around Gal
way Is such that canoe could not
enter and leave the harbor without
lot Of people seeing it and wonder
ing whose canoe it was.
incidentally, IT is represented that
the Irish living in Ireland, or Fire
as they insist upon calling it, are
much more friendly to the British
today than the third and fourth
generations of Irish living in the
United States.
There has been no such mellowing
of feeling on the part of the Amer
lean Irish as has transformed the
Irish back in the home country since
Fire has been separate nation.
Britain is Fires best customer, par
ticularly for the huge supplies OF
foodstuffs that the Irish produce.
DENY BASES TO BRITAIN
In fact the only thorn among the
roses, until quite recently, was the
fact that the South Irish still wanted
to take over Ulster. Lately there
has been concern about Winston
ChurchilPs statement indicating that
Britain needed Irish ports for bases.
On this, the position of the Dub
lin government is as the ancient law
of the Modes and Persians. Moth
ing doing. The Irish would fight
anybody" it Is asserted, who at
tempted to occupy any of their soil.
AS they see 1t, the moment Britain
occupied any of their ports or bases
their entire country would be SUBJ
ject to German bombing. They
point out that they do not have ade-
quate defenses against bombing.
Even Britain, which has lots of de-
lenses, is not able to prevent the
bombers doing a great deal of dam
age, they insist, whereas Fire has
virtually no defenses.
There is very keen realization
in Fire OF their defenseless condi-
ton against an attack in force by
either OF the belligerents. All they
could hope to do, they think, Is to
resort to guerilla warfare.

to confidential reports received
here, the Nazi losses have not been
heavy in the last couple OF months.
Had they continued the mass raids
they began in early September, ac-
cording to at least one observer,
they would have won the war in a
month. But there is another side of
that picture. Had their losses con-
tinued at the rate of 200 day, they
might have lost their air superiority
before they won the war.
