President Hurls Bold
 Challenge At Hitler
Continued from Page l)

Roosevelt said, "as Hitler proposes to reorganize it. Today in this area there are IA separate countries. But the geographical experts of Berlin have ruthlessly obliterated all ex- isting boundary lines. They have divided South America into five vassal states, bringing the whole continent under their domination.
 And they have also SO arranged 1t that the territory of one of these new puppet states includes the Re- publica of Panama and our great life line-the Panama Canal. That Is his plan. It will not go into effect.
 This map makes clear the Nazl design not only against South America but against the United States itself.
 Document on Religion
 "Your government has in its pos- session another document made in Germany by Hitler's government. It Is detailed plan, which, for ob- vious reasons, the Nazis did not wish to publiciZe yet, but which they are ready to impose on Q dominated world-if Hitler wins.
 Tt is a plan to abolish all exist- ing religions Protestant, Catholic, Mohammedan, Hindu, Buddhist and Jewish alike. The property of all churches will be seized by the Reich. The cross and ali symbols of religion are to be forbidden. The clergy are to be liquidated, Silenced
 "In the place of the church of our civilization, there is to be set Up afl international Na1 church. In place of the Bible, the words of Mein Kampf will be imposed and en- forced as the holy writ. And in place of the Cross of Christ will be put two symbols--the swastika and the naked sword"
 He paid tribute to the bravery oa the Russian people. He chided those who questioned our assistance to them by repeating 8 remark of Secretary of State Cordell Hull that anyone sufficiently interested in defeating Hitler would not worry about who helped to the job.
 America Is Attacked
 Recalling that the country has been in 8 state of unlimited Ila. tional emergency for just five months, MT. Roosevelt said:
 America has been attacked. The U. s. s. Kearny is not Just a navy ship. She belongs to every man, woman and child in this nation. Hitler's torpedo was directed at every American, the purpose Of Hitler's attack was to frighten the American people of the high seas to force us to make 8 trembling rec treat.
 If our national policy were to be dominated by fear of shooting, then all of our ships and those of our sister republics would have to be tied up in home harbors.
 Naturally we reject tho absurd and insulting suggestion"
 Warning again and again that the "Nazi design" is against South America and the United States, it. self, MT. Roosevelt said Hitler's march must and can be stopped and that our job now is to arm the men on the fighting line.
 Dare Not Fail
 we dare not fail," he said.
 Each day that passes we are pro- ducing and providing more and more arms for the men who are fighting on actual battlefronts. That is our primary task. It IS the tla- tion's will that America shall de- liver the goods. Tn open defiance of that will, our ships have been sunk and our sailors have been killed.
 q say that we do not propose to take this lying down. Our determ- ination not to take 1t lying down has been expressed in the orders to the American Navy to shoot on sight.
 Those orderes standl"
 Although he originally approached amendment of the neutrality act with extraordinary caution, MT. Roosevelt went ali out last night for repeal of those provisions which limit our efforts to supply Great Britain by carrying our munitions directly to her docks in our own ships. He said the Senate Foreign Relations Committee had voted to eleminate the ''hainstringing" com bat zone provision of the act and described that as "the course of honesty and realism"
 Are No Easy Frey
 He said it had been difficult for Americans to readjust themselves to the shocking realities of the world but he ridiculed the idea that our good fortune has made us easy prey to the '"ruthless brutality" of the thin and aggressive Axis powers.
 "They say that we have grown fat and flabby and lazy -- and that we are doomed" Mir. Roosevelt said. But those who say it know noth- ing of America or of the American way of life. They do not know that this land Is great because 1t is Q land of endless challenge. Ours has been Q story of vigorous challenges which have been accepted and 0vef- e. .Maaa 1sf
