and additional safeguards as
may be needed.
THE delivery of needed sup
plies to Britain Is imperative.
This can be done; II must he
done; u will he done"
In declaring that the govern
ment lis actively engaged today
in the delivery of goods TO Britain
the President lot il be known for
the first time that the Atlantic
naval patrol has been highly
Augmented.
I'VE have, accordingly, eN-
tended our patrol In North and
South Atlantic waters" he said.
I'VE are steadily adding more
and more ships and planes To
that patrol"
OUR OWN DECISION
Mr. Roosevelt also -hluntly told
the AXIS powers that
we In the Americas viii
decide for ourselves whether,
and when, and where, our
American interests are attacked
or our security threatened"
lie specifically extended the
American defense zone 10 include
Iceland AZ well as Greenland the
Azores tho Cape Verde Islands
and Dakar French fortress on the
coast of Africa
He said that he did this because
II any one Of them was seized ny
Germany Il MOuld become "A
Springboard for actual attack on
tho Western Hemisphere.
Explaining this expanded do
tense policy, the President said
Nobody can fOretell tonight
just when the acts of the dicta-
tors will ripen into attack on

that II would be suicide, TO wait

plane, II YOU hold your fire until
you see the whites Of his eyes,
YOU will never know what hit
you. Our Bunker Hill. OF tOmOr-
row may be several thousand
miles from Boston"
The President went TO some
length TO explain why control OF
the Atlantic was so important.
ADMITS SHIP LOSSES
First, he bluntly admitted
With the full knowledge of the
British government'-that the
present rate of NaZi Sinkings OF
merchant ships is running three
times higher than the capacity of
British shipysrdS 10 replace, and
twice as high as the present-day
combined American and British
output The United States, he
warned, must speed up ship pro-
.duction and help cut down losses
at sea.
Second, he said. the Axis pow
crS can never achieve their objec-
i've Of world domination unless
they first obtain control of tho
seas And TO achieve that. he
added. they must capture Great
Britain.
But" The President contin-
ucd, "if the AXIS powers fail To
gain control Of the seas. they are
certainly defeated Their dream
Of world domination will then 70

leaders who started this war
will suffer inevitable disaster"

As 10 the future, he SAID finally.

NEW YORK, April 9.-The Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers,
reiterating its pledge of co-opera-
ton and assistance to the Federal
Government in the s35, 900, 900 900
all out" defense effort. has urged
its members to avoid accumulating
goods and equipment far in advance
of the time they are needed.
The associations statement, is
sued under the name Of its National
Defense Committee, was released "a
hours after Production Chief John
d. Biggers of the o. p. M. told the
House Military Affairs Committee
that some manufacturers were 'ac-
cumulating unwarranted stocks of
critical materials
The N. A. M. yesterday sent rec
concentrations to its members that:
both Government and indus
try should order material and
equipment as soon as they know
they are going to be needed. but,
on the other hand. should avoid ac-
cumulating goods and equipment
far IN advance of the time they are
actually needed.
"2-Proyision be made by which
manufacturers can obtain sufficient
supplies of restricted materials to
facilitate the making of trial runs
by those contemplating bids on de-
fense work This should greatly
stimulate subcontracting.
"3-In order to reduce the neces-
sity 70" transportation priorities, the
Government should more promptly
issue bills of lading for material and
equipment
"4-Where considerable time is re-
quirec in the fabrication of essen
tial parts which must be available
when defense goods are contracted
for arrangements should be made
under which companies which may
reasonably expect to be given de-
fense contracts for these goods
oifouid DC aunt W OOOdIll Ill duNdIlIc
the basic raw materials needed for
such parts fabrication.
''5- Both industry and the Gov
eminent should carefully consider
the feasibility of establishing a
method under which any surplus
stock of particular strategic materi-
ais and equipment may be made
available to those who need them
for current production.
"6-The Government should ad-
wise industry as to the likelihood of
materials which are being contem-
plated as substitutes for allocated
strategic raw materials, themselves
being subsequently placed upon the
priority list.
7-Industrial firms be urged to
exchange information on the use of
substitute materials for allocated
strategic materials and equipment. p"
