and the menacers. Across the
oceans Hitler's blare has sounded,
and Churchills silver Scorn.
But the American people heard,
on Tuesday night, the most per-
feet and complete expression of a
case that has been uttered any
where in the world since the out
break of this war. For reason,
simplicity, candor, total absence
of malice; for structure, form,
balance, climax, it will rank
among the great speeches OF
history.
1t was speech that anybody
could understandable schoolboy,
the taxi driver, the worker on the
assembly belt, the provincial
housewife.
Yet it was a masterpiece of the
spoken word; a textbook classic.
1t was not oratory. 1t was
speech: not addressed to masses,
but to people-to individual per-
sons. 1t was communication. It's
whole undertone was one of ex-
uuisite courtesy. 1t admitted "a
decent respect for the opinion OF
mankind" Some one who had
been thinking long time,
through complicated and con-
fused situations, had brought
complete order, complete clarity
into his own mind; he had re-
duced everything to essentials, he
had organized those essentials IN
their precise places, he had found
the simplest, truest, cleanest
words to express those essentials.
And then he sat down with us,
and said. it seemed, II know you
want to know how things are
well, they are like this"
Speech Was Work of Art.
And, listening, we knew they
are like this. Just exactly like
this. When he stopped speak
ing, we were quiet, and then,
suddenly we felt happy-happy
and free.
That is the function of free
speech. To make people more
free. To take shackles off their
minds and off their wills; to
bring light into their intelli-
gences, understanding into their
hearts and to put marrow into
their bones.
The speech was work OF art.
What does that mean? Why Is
it important to emphasize style?
Because the content always de-
termines the form in a work OF

President Eases WurIike Tone
Press Conference Comments Occasion Surprise
In View Of His Emphatic Assertions Tuesday

the effect it would have on opinion
abroad
One of the prepossessions of Axis
propagandists has been that the
Washington Government is so ham,
pered by its muddling democratic
processes and American public opin-
ion is so divided that Mr.. Roosevelt
could not move effectively II he
would. BY his assumption now of
extraordinary powers, invoked by
American Presidents heretofore
only after wars were begun, the
President served notice that we are
| on full war footing-in the words
of his proclamation on such a
basis as will enable us to cope in
stantly and decisively" with any
threat that may be leveled against
us.
At the same time Mr.. Roosevelt
asserted that you may disregard
those few citizens of the United
oNoSSo wiz COllItIlo llldG VIC oil ulo-
united and cannot act" Nobody
knows better than the totalitarian
dictators how little a disgruntled
popular minority counts once one
man government has been firmly
established.
What President Roosevelt has
said to Hitler, in effect, is, IF you
think the United States is too weak
or too slothful and undecided to
act, or if you think I don't mean
or can't make good every word
have spoken, just try me out"
Calm Response in Toxic.
The United States Navy, the
President made plain, will move in
creasingly for protection Of shipping
in the Atlantic, and for protection
of the Americas generally, and if our
vessels so operating meet up with
German commerce raiders there is
likely to be fight.
More pleasing to State Depart
ment officials than any other re-
action to the Presidents speech is
the calm reception accorded it in
Toxic and Vichy.
Mr.. Roosevelt was careful to en-
phasize that the United States pur-
pose, now as at the beginning of the
war, Is only to repel attack" The
japanese have accepted this reas-
surance with an almost unseemly
haste.
A like complacency of the Vichy
government may be attributable
to the Presidents def handling of
Dakar. He left no doubt as to
United States interest in this French
West African port by naming it at
one point in the same breath with
the Azores and Cape Verde Islands.
But when he later specified the
areas the United States would feel
it imperative to defend against
German seizure, Dakar was omitted.
The reason for this PROBABLY was
that the United States had received

| lands, the whole Western Atlantic
from the icy waters of the North
Pole to the frozen continent of the
Antarctic" and perhaps Dakar-
which he dareS the Fuehrer to cross.
True, Mr.. Roosevelt somewhat
softened the warhke tone of his
Tuesday nights speech in answering
questions in a special conference
with newspaper reporters which he
summoned on Wednesday. Partic-
ularly his assertion that he had no
present thought of moving for repeal
or revision of the Neutrality Act
occasioned surprise in view of the
recent pressure by members of his
Cabinet for this step and his own
emphatic assertion that AL addi-
tional measures necessary to deliver
the goods Ito Great Britain will be
taken"
The President f1outed the sugges-
ton that he could get around the
Neutrality Act prohibition against
sending supplies to Britain in
American ships by shifting the pres
cribed war zones-as he did in re-
moving the ban on shipments to the
Gulf of Alden and the Red Sea. He
pointed out that the act directly
forbids landing of American ships
at belligerent ports.
Eases Domestic Alarm.
Further, Mr.. Roosevelt moved to
temper the domestic alarm which
had been aroused by his declaration
of an unlimited national emer-
gency' with the assertion that this
could become effective only as he
issued additional executive orders
and that he had none presently in
mind.
Mr.. Roosevelt's press conference
comments strengthened the impress
sion previously derived from other
administration sources that, what
ever may be its use in future, the
President proclaimed the unlimited
emergency at this time primarily for

with the resistance of our own
armed forces. 1t is left to Herr
Hitler to decide whether he will
invade those prescribed zones. If
he does. the President as Com
mander in Chief of the United

so under the Constitution which

Epic Of War Being Written by Crete Defenders
Selling Their Lives Dearly to Nozi Invaders

running short of ammunition and
have no means to get it.
The Japanese are once more
testing the water with their toes,
trying to find out whether SWIM
ming is safe at this time of the
year or whether they had better
wait until it gets hotter in the
Atlantic.
Foreign Minister Matsuoka, the
chief exponent of the now or
never" expansionist policy, is
trying to push the Dutch against
the wall and force them to sign
an agreement practically sur
rendering to Japan the rich oil
field and rubber plantations of
Java and Sumatra. In responsible
quarters in Washington it is
believed the new economic often
slve" of the Imperial foreign
secretary is dictated by Berlin.
1t is almost six weeks since the
Toxic government informed
Washington in polite but firm
words that if were to suspend the
export of certain kinds of
gasoline and if we did not shut
one eye at the bootlegging of
high octane gas, war would break
out in the Pacific within 40 hours.
The administration needed the
Japanese warning for reasons of
major policy" which are prob
ably not unlike those which have
prevented it from freezing the
Axis funds in the United States.
Given Hope.
No definite assurances were
given to Japan how long We
would continue to supply their
industry and armed forces with
oil and its derivatives. 1t was
indicated to Toxic that as long
as the expansionists remain good
boys and don't move further
south than they are now, they
could count on getting their oil
from the United States.
The Japanese continued to
rattle the sword every few DAYS
but remained, in fact, quiet.
The demand of the Toxic gov
eminent to the government of
The Netherlands East Indies is
something new but not wholly
unexpected. The Japanese for
eign secretary is predicating his
demands on the fact that since
the United States has committed
itself to stop Hitler-as Presi-
dent Roosevelt indicated last
Tuesday night-the United States
Navy and merchant marine and
American factories will need all
the oil supply this country pos
sess. In order not to risk a
shortage of oil for the Japanse
Navy, air force and industry at
a critical moment" it has be-
come necessary for Japan to as
sure a continuous supply in its
own rights and that supply can
come only from The Netherlands
possessions in the Far East.

By CONSTANTINE BROWN.

The battle of Crete will remain
one of the epics of this war. The
British and the Greeks, a hand
full of men without any possibility
of obtaining either reinforce
ments or supplies, are struggling
desperately against the Germans.
They don't hope to defeat the
enemy unless by some miracle
swarms OF airplanes reach them
from Egypt, the nearest base. All
they intend to do is to inflict as
many losses as possible on the
invading Nazis and die defending
the mountainous regions.
When the Nazi invasion began,
there were not more than $500
imperial and metropolitan troops,
together with some 10000 Greeks.
They had little ammunition. The
British Navy could not sustain
heavier losses than it did in the
first days of the air invasion, and
withdrew. There are but occa-
sional brief communications be-
tween the island and the outside
world. There is a small radio field
station which reports tersely to
Egypt twice a day the actual de-
velopments of the struggle-gen-
orally news that the force had to
fall back again-and occasional
refugees who manage to escape in
sailing boats, to be picked up by
British patrol vessels.
From them it is possible to draw
a vague picture of what is go
ing on.
Nazi Losses High.
The Germans and the Defend
ing force are locked in life-and-
death battle. The German losses,
according to those few who have
managed to get out of Crete, can
be put at 4-to-1 without risking
an eXaggeration. 1t is only nat
ural that their losses should be
so great. The British and the
Greeks know that this is not an
other Norway or Dunkerque-they
cannot retreat. Hence they are
selling their lives as dearly as
possible. From the mountain
fastness, where they have a nat
ural shelter against the German
bombers. they have finally
chance for hand-to-hand fight
with the enemy. Positions must
be stormed by the Nazis and the
German small tanks, while use
full, don't have the same deadly
effect upon the defenders Of
Crete.
The commander of this force
must have been picked by Gen.
Wavel purposely. It's the famous
New Zealander, Gen. Freydberg,
who earned during the last war
the Victoria Cross for heroism in
action.
The principal reason why 1t Is
believed Crete soon will be soon
conquered is that these men are
