the dictates of humanity and of COM
mon sense, but also the best tradi-
tions of his country. From the very
beginning the fate of America was
intimately tied to world events.
In the 1790s Thomas Jefferson.
our first Secretary of State, insisted
that the youthful American Republic
would stand or fall with the success
or failure of the French Revolu-
ton and he fought an epic battle
with Hamilton in support of his con-
viction.
Our First President, George WASH
ington, the wisest and most level
headed of men, largely shared JEFF
ferson's view of the matter. In a
letter to his friend, Lafayette, Pres
ident Washington said: I'VE do not
wish to be the only people who
may taste the sweets of an equal
and good government; we look with
an anxious eye to the time when
happiness and tranquility shall pre-
vail in your country and when all
Europe shall be freed from COM
motions, tumults and alarms" ;
Today President Roosevelt is sue
cessfully coping with the over
whelming task of guiding a great
Nation in global war, of trans
forming peace rooted democracy
into fighting state. But he never
permits himself to forget his demo-
cratic aims and responsibilities. He
has good cause to remember how

Roosevelt for special abuse and Will
f1cation. Their aim is to undermine
the prestige that the President en-
joys among the common people of
the world as statesman devoted to
democratic policies and ideals. I do
not know how successful this Axis
propaganda is, but I do know that
it is signal honor to earn the
hatred of Hitler.
Interest Is World wide.
I should like to stress that Presi-
dent Roosevelt is, indeed. profoundly
interested in and concerned for the
welfare of the common man every
where. Apart from his genuine and
deep love for his fellow men, the
President has in his heart the well
fare and security of nations because
he knows that, without peace and
contentment abroad, there can be
no peace or contentment at home.
No one realizes more clearly than
he how the world has shrunk into
itself and how interdependent it has
become.

Don't yank at cords or run them
under rugs.
Don't forget to have insulated

Don't neglect providing plenty OF

Axis Fears Italians
Won't Fight Invasion
owl Chief Declares
Says 'Phoney' Claims
Are Used to Create
Hatred for Americans
BY the Associated Press.

Axis leaders fear that the Italian
people would welcome an Allied in
vasion, Owl Director Elmer Davis
said today, and are therefore trying
to whip up a feeling of hatred for
Americans"
Anxiety and uncertainty in the
Axis countries have spurred their
propagandists to feverish activity,
the chief of the Office of War In
formation told his press conference,
commenting on what he labeled
"phoney" claims that American fly
ers have machine-gunned Italian ci-
villains in the course OF bombing
raids.
They fear an imminent attack"
Mr.. Davis said, "and the zeal with
which they are propagandizirg indi-
Gates that they fear the invasion
would meet with a favorable recep-
tion by the great number of Italians
Who hate their German allies"
He also characterized the Ger
man claim that Russia had mur-
dered 10000 captured Polish Off
GERS as very, very fshy," while
saying it was the only successful
Axis propaganda effort thus far to
create a division in the ranks of
the United Nations.
1T is extremely probable that
those officers were killed by the
Germans themselves" Mr.. Davis
said, declaring he based his opinion
on general inference" resulting
from loopholes and inconsistencies
in the German and Italian versions
Of the mass execution.
Germany has been in possession
Of the territory where the executions
allegedly occurred for two years,
Mr.. Davis said, and there is no
particular reason to think that the
officers were not among the thous-
ands of other Poles known to have
been slain by the Germans.
Mr.. Davis reported the U-boat
situation was much improved in
April, and said that even the rather
modest German claim of 63 Allied
vessels sunk that month was CON
siderably exaggerated"

late today. "a to IS, after efforts to
send the whole subject of labor con-
troll back to the Judiciary Com
mittee for two weeks also had
failed.
The Senate then went on to con-
slider other proposed changes in the

gressional sanction to the Govern

plants or mines threatened by labor
disputes-a power the President has
exercised in the mines and earlier
in war plants. The bill also imposes
heavy penalties for interfering with
the operation of property after the
Government takes over.
The motion to send the entire
issue back to committee, with in
structions to report out a bill on or
before May 20, was made by Senator
Wheeler, Democrat, of Montana,
but went down to defeat, 50 to 27.

Senators Connally and Taft warned

Congress to take some action to deal
with labor disputes in war plants,
