 MT. Roosevelt told congress that the ''barbaric aggression" ot Japan in Mancnurla in 1881 "Set the eX- ample end the pattern for the course soon to be pursued by Italy and Germany in Africa and in Eu- rope"
 '-Through the years which fol- lowed, Germany, Italy, and Japan reached on understanding to time their acts of aggression to theiT common advantage--and to bring about the ultimate enslavement of the rest of the world" the president said.
 Reviews Agreement
 MT. Roosevelt reviewed agree ments between the American and Japanese governments dating back to the start of the 20th century agreements In which the govern ments promised to support the in- dependence and the integrity of China," "free and peaceful develop ment of their commerce in the Pa cific ocean," and the maintenance of the existing status quo" in the Pacific.
 He reviewed this country's sup port of the League of Nations in attempting to diSsuade Japan from its conquest in China in the early leS0,s. But Japan, he said, accepted the German theiSiS of racial super iority and extreme nationalism,
 Japan in 1887 "announced that the seventy or eighty million Jap- anese people were also superior to the seven or eight hundred million otheg inhabitants Of the Orient nearly all of whom were infinitely older and more developed in culture and civilization than themselves"
 Their coneeit would make them masters of Q region containing Nl- most one-hAlf the population of the earth" Mfr, Roosevelt said of the Japanese. Tt would give them com plete control of vast sea lanes and trade routes Of importance to the entire world"
 He Called Roll
 He said teh result of JapanS lat- est aggression, directed first At the United States, has been the declarR- ton of war against Japan by Amer ica and l7 other nations. He called the roll of the countries which have joined in fighting the Japanese.
 "These and other peace loving countries will be fighting as are we, first, to put an end to JapanS pros gram of aggression and, second to malea good the right of nations and of mankind to live in peace under conditions of security and justice" he said.
 The people of this country arc totally united In their determlna- ton to conSecrate our national strength and Inanpower to bring ccnelusiVely to An end the pesti- lence of aggression and force which has long menaced the world and which now has struck deliberately and directly at the safety of the United States"
 The president told how Japanese military operations in China late In the last decade "hagrantly diSre- garded American rights" as well as "inflictlng inealculable damage ups on China, and ghastly suffering on the Chinese people"
 Ize listed American nationals kill- cd or wounded by Japanese forces in China since July 2, 1887, and American property damaged, deS. troyed or seriously endangered by Japanese attacks on China.
 Fellow Same Pattern
 Throughout the message the se. cital Of German and Italian "un- limited conquest" was interwoven with details of Japanese aggression Co prove that the three members of the Axis had followed the same pattern of aggression.
 "As the forces of Germany, Italy ard Japan increasingly combined their efforts" MT. Roosevelt said, he was "convinced that this combina ton would ultimately attack the United States and the western hem- isphere-if it were successful in the other continents" He said thlS fore- boding was borne out by the trl- partite alliance.
 "The strategy of Japan in the Pacific area was Q faithful coun- teFpart Of that used by Hitler ir Europe" he said,
 He reviewed how Japan, pursu- ing her policy of eonqueSt, first worked her way into Manchuria then China, then Indo-C China. To- day, he said, this conquest policy has been extended throughout Thaiiand and Is aimed next toward Malaya and Burma.
 'TThs Philippines, Borneo, su- Japanese timetable; and 1t Is prob- ably that further down the Jap- aneaa page, are the names of Aus tralia, New Zealand, and all the other islands of the Pacifie-includ- ing Hawai- and the greaS chain of the Aleutian islands" he said.
 Japanese aggression, he contln- ued, made it necessary for many countries to keep large defensive armed forces and Q vast amount of material in the Pacific-forces and material which might otherwise have been used against Hitler"
 'That, of course, is exactly what Hitler wanted them to do," he add cd.
