"Hitler's expulsion from the

German commentators had anti
cipated the speech by several
hours, denouncing Mr.. Roose-
welt roundly as "warmonger
who intended his address Ito
excite public opinion in the
United States"
In Canada the Presidents
words were considered stronger
than any previous assertions,
and the general opinion seemed
to be that the United States
had moved a step closer to actual
participation in a shooting war.
There was an echo of a by
gone shooting war when Mr..
Roosevelt flatly accused Ger
many of waging ruthless
unrestricted submarine War-
fare" It was the resumption of
unrestricted submarine warfare
early in 1917 that brought the
severance of diplomatic relations
with Germany which preceded
the United States entry into the
World War.
AS for the unrestricted SUBJ
marine warfare of 1941," Presi-
dent Roosevelt said the United
States was ready to deal with
it in defensive waters mo matter
what it takes, no matter what 1t
costs"
Although the White House
had promised that the speech
would leave no questions unan-
swered, it contained only the
vaguest indication of what parts
of the sea were held to consti-
tute defensive water" More
over, it made no mention of any
decision to seek repeal of the
neutrality act, and it was COM
pietely silent on the subject Of
tt1A third Axis power, Japan
q silence some thought was sig
nificant.
DEFENSIVE WATERS
In speaking Of defensive wa
water" Mr.. Roosevelt made
only one point clear-that the
seas Immediately surrounding
all American outposts were so
considered. The absence of a
more explicit definition set leg
islators studying previous Presi-
Dental announcements in an
effort to work out one for them
selves.
The general conclusion was
that the keep out" zone would

from Iceland down to the areas
off the long South American
coastline. However, Mr.. Roose-
welt has indicated on several &C.
casions that from the standpoint
of defense, he considers the
hemisphere's geographical boun-
Diary AN elastic line. Such a con-
ception, officials were quick to
note, would not be calculated to
hamper naval operations under
last nights orders.
The uncertainty on the subject
was further heightened by this
passage from MIR. Roosevelts
address:
mo act of violence, no act of
intimidation will keep US from
maintaining intact two bulwarks
of American defense: first our
line of supply of materiel to the
enemies of Hitler, and second,
the freedom of our shipping on
the high seas"

There were those who said the
campaign couldn't succeed in reach
ing many families. They talked of
taxes and other drains on income.
They were very pessimistic.
But there were others who said,
"But this is different. This is for
Christmas"

In fact, so many gifts came in,
the money so far exceeded the num-
Der of families known to be in need
of Christmas cheer, that several
thousand dollars was used to tide
individual families over temporary
periods of want.
It all came about very simply.
The people who said, But this is

Vegetable Growers
Propose Program
To Bolster Prices
No Acreage Increase
Except for Defense
Purposes Is Urged
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
COLUMBUS. Ohio, Aug. IA
program to bolster prices of truck
crops was advanced today by the
Vegetable Growers Association Of
America.
The association adopted a resolu-
ton asking:
That the Agriculture Department
recommend that vegetable acreage
not be increased, except for defense
purposes, and that the Federal food
stamp plan for disposing Of surplus.
farm commodities be increased as
much as possible among lower in
come groups.
The growers. took that position,
they said, because tremendous in
crease in vegetable acreage in the
last 10 years has caused over-pro-
duction and low markets and i'm
posed burdensome production costs
on the truck farmer.
From 1924 to 1923 truck crops in
the United States averaged 2200.-
780 acres. This increased to 2,802. $40
in 1929 1898, and last year the plant
was 3.023,320 acres.
Higher prices now being paid for
produce have been Offset to some ex-
tent by an increase in farm labor
costs, plus gains in equipment prices.
The association also urged that
Federal and State governments
strive to eliminate interstate trade
barriers, especially as they apply to
marketing Of vegetables.
Most of the troubles now tear
ing Europe apart have their founda-
ton in the throttling of the free
movement of trade between the
different countries" the growers
said.
Meanwhile the marketing director
Of a Nationwide produce buying
firm asserted the next two or three
years might see a sound expansion
far greater than during any
previous corresponding period in the
history Of American agriculture"
This could be accomplished, said
Earl r. French of New York, If the
truck farmers grasped opportunities
afforded by nutrition experts find-
ings that the average American
should eat twice as many vegetables
IN order to achieve a properly bal
anced diet"
