President Roosevelt Calls Nation To Arms
Ccontlnued from Page D

parIson, MT. Roosevelt last night blunted no words in saying that thc United States was in nght TOT nl life, and that 1t will win the war and the peace to follow.
 The Presidcnt'B warning tha' "dermany and Italy--cor sider them. selves at war with tho United states ct this moment" brought from cot1Rregelnen are comment that it was Q realistic recognition" Of facts
 Speaker Sam Rayburn sounded the tenor of general coilgressional comment with.
 "Of course we all think that Ger many and Italy are going 10 follow the Japanese as brothers in this AxiA agreement"
 Rayburn has said that congress would declare war on Germany apc Italy as quickly aS 1t did against Japan if they attacked the United States.
 Of what WAS happened in the Pacific, Mfr. Roosevelt said:-
 News Is All Bad
 "go far, the news is all bad Casualty lists will be large"
 Acknowledge 6 serious set-back in Hawaii" and warning that the country must be prepared to heal that midway, Wake and Guam IslaEds have been captured, he de- elared that there was no impregn- able defense against blows without warning and urged the public, the press and the radio to walt for the facts.
 Most earnestly" he continued, "l urge my fellow countryTnen to res feet all rumors. These ugly little hints Of complete disaster ny thick ard fast in war time"
 He said the enemy spread many humors to create fear and confusion among the public and to goad the government to denials that give hin eagerly sought information. MT Roosevelt said inc did not yet kTicw the "exact damage" ct Pearl Harboi but that admittedly, the damage Is serious" He dismissed as Fan tastic" rumors that Japan hac gained naval control of the Pacific.
 World War Is On
 Mir. Roosevelt denounced Hitler Benito Mussoliri, and the Japanes' war lords. He left no doubt that tho war, the allout, total, world war, I on with Great Brittan and her do minions, the Soviet Union, thu United States and associated poweri on one side, and the Axis on th' other-ali Of the Axis.
 "Remember always" MT. Roose' welt said. that Germany and Ital! regardless Of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at wa with the United States at this mo ment just as much as they cOTlside themselves at war with Britain ant Russai. And Germnay puts all tn other republics of America into thu same category of enemies.
 Our ocean-girt hemisphere is no immune from attack.
 Your govemrnment knows tha for weeks Germany has been tellini Japan that if Japan did not attacl the United States, Japan would no share in dividing the spells with Ger many when the peace came. She wa promised by Germany that if shl came In she would receive the com plete and perpetual control of tn whole Pacific area-and that mean not only the Far East, not only tn islands in the Pacific, but also 1 stranglehold on the west coast O

Axis nationals living in United States territory.
 Riddle said hearings would be held on the cases of some aliens whose seizures as dangerous" per- sons may be reconsidered. The hearings will be conducted infor- mally by board of review similar to those set up to hear the cases of conscientious objectors under the selective service act.
 The hearings, he said, will start shortly and the Justice Department hopes to be able to use, in many in- stances, the personnel of various conscientious objectors' review boards.
 The boards, according to Riddle, will report their findings to him, and the final decision as to the dis position of the cases will be left to him. He described as "very grave" the responsibility falling upon all concerned in those cases.
 Riddle reiterated that all Japan csc, Italian and German aliens not now in custody would be regarded as peaceful and law abiding" so long as they obeyed the regulations promulgated under a presidential proclamation issued' yesterday.
 Riddle said that several of the aliens now in federal keeping un- doubtedly would be granted their freedom, while others would be given permanent paroles as a study of the English system showed this to De the best manner of hand- ling then."
 Review Boards
 The review boards, he said, will be organized locally and will con- sist "of eminent citizens, not in the government"

 We also know that Germany and Japan are conducting their military and naval operations in accordance with Q joint plan. That plan con- siders ali peoples and nations which are not helping the Axis Powers as common enemies Of each and every one of the Axis Powers.
 "That is their simple and obvious grand strategy"
 MT. Roosevelt said the country had accepted the challenge and would accept no result except Yics tory, final and complete. The rla- ton Is in the war, he explained, not for conquest or for vengeance, but for 6 world in which it's chil~ dren will be safe. He said 1t ex- pected to eliminate tho danger from Japan and the danger from Hitler and Mussollni must go, too.
 He compared the aggreSsions of Japan in Asia and Of Hitler and MuGsolini in Europe and Africa for 10 years past and said;
 Tt L all of one pattern"
 "Without warning--witbout warn" ing-without warning"
 Again and again Mfr. Roosevelt repeated that phrase as he cited the surprise attacks by the AxiE Powers on peaceful nations,
 He promised to give the facts to the public as fast as they became available, E1bject first to complete check on their accuracy and, Sec- ond, that release Of the information would not prove valuable to the enemy.
 Two Broad Principles
 Explaining that the United States will continue to supply other armies, nayies and air forces fighting the Axis, Mir. Roosevelt said he had adopted two broad production prin- cIples:
 1. A seven day work week in war industry ard iii the production Of essential raw materials.
 2. Expansion of production ca- pacity by building new plants, ex- banding old plants and using many small plants.
 He promised that the road to vIc- tory in the war and the peace to follow was one Of hard day and night work. But the nation was unified ct last, the obstacles. difh- cu,ties. divisions, indifference and callouSness now all were past-ard am sure, forgotten"
 There is enough food "at present." he assured the nation, but he warn ed that there was a shortage Of metal.

Japanese group east of the Philip pines.
 Cooperation of the Japanese ate tacks in the western and southern Pacific must have entailed great preparation and immense secrecy the informant commented.
 Refueled En Route
 The Japanese carrier from which Pearl Harbor at Hawaii was attacked must have refueled en route, prob- ably in the Marshall Islands, and must have been steaming for more than 10 days, so that the decision for a blitz stroke must have been made a long way back"
 British reconnaissance planes early last Saturday detected two groups of Japanese troop ships, both south of Indo China, moving westward, the informant said, and timely warning enabled the British to prepare for the Japanese landing attempt on the Malaya coast.
 It was admitted that the Japanese occupation of Thailand meant a grave threat to Malaga.
 The official communique reported that elsewhere the frontier remains unbroken."
 CThe language of the coEnmuni- que indicated that Kota Bahru air base is now in Japanese hands).
 The communique said that Brit ish casualties were comparatively light despite heavy fighting over a wide area.
 Imperial forces, said the coFn- munique, fought "splendidly."

 Reform British Lines
 Singapore, Dec. 10-CUP)-An of- hcial communique tonight reported that imperial forces have reformed their lines south of the strategic airdrome of Kota Bahru, 375 miles north of Singapore, and elsewhere are holding of the Japanese firmly.
 The Malayan command indicated that the Japanese have won con- trol of the Kota Bahru airfield where, heavy fighting has been in progress since start of the Japanese attack.
 New Japenese landing attempts were reported along the Malaya coast about 200 miles north of Singapore but British forces ape peared to have met these threats successfully in hard fighting. The new landing efforts were in the Kuantan area but the communique said British positions in that re- zion "are intact"
 Except for the Kota Bahru sec tor, said the communlque, Malaya S frontiers remain intact.
 The Japanese were believed here to be engaged in a gigantic attempt to cut the Burma road. life line of supply for China, to dominate all Malaya and invest Singapore, to in- wade the Philippines and, after cap- turing Americas Wake. Guam and Midway islands, to have a fleet steaming toward Hawaii to chal- lenge the American fleet to a great naval battle.
 Reports persisted that American planes had bombed Toklo and Kobe, in Japan proper, and FormoSa, Ja- pans island of the China coast.
 Well informed quarters said also that there were many reports to justify the belief that German air- plane pilots had engaged in the Japanese attacks on Hawaii and the Philippines, describing the entire Japanese war plan as a typical blltzkrleg In the Garman pattern.
