America Cannot Be TsoIaiOnist as After Last War
 Lecturer Tells WOman's Club

Naugatuck, Oct. 21-Should war between the United States and Japan come, the U. s. is well pre- pared with its navy in the Pacific ocean and could sweep the Pacific of Japanese trade in a short time and so bring Japan to submission, Dr. D. Brewer Eddy said at meet ing of the Naugatuck WomanS club yesterday afternoon in Masonic hall.
 Japan can't live without its for- eign trade, he said. He pointed out this country for a long time dis- regarded advice of some of the wis., est statesmen in China, who felt that by aiding Japan, the United States was injuring itself.
 America cannot be an isolation ist as 1t was after the last war, pr. Eddy said, and he declared that If this nation had joined the League of Nations the selfish imperialism of France could have been halted and the pound of flesh" policy of Lloyd George could have been stopped.

BY RUTH COWAN,
Assoclated Press Stan Writer.

The Commander in chief OF
the armed forces Of the United
States is taking this new world
war in his stride.
1t was with a steady hand that
President Roosevelt lit a cigar
cite at the beginning of his first
press conference since he signed
the declaration of war against
Japsn-iust "a hours earlier.
Reporters who have been at
tending his press conferences for
years agreed that ''he looks fine"
One added: He thrives on activ-
ity-and he has plenty of It now"
Many Americans may have lost
sleep - but President Roosevelt
didn't look like one of them. There
were no haggard lines in his face.
His color was good. There was
about him calm confidence.
At his desk in his oval Office he
glanced over some letters as he
waited for reporters TO assemble.
He wore gray suit with a tiny
white stripe, a black tie and no
vest. On his left arm was black
band. His mother, Mrs. Sara
Roosevelt. did not live to see her
boy" begin his greatest battle.
