 On October Hitler announced: 'The enemy has been hit so hard that he again will rise" It appeared he might be right. On October 19 Stalin mans were less than 70 miles away. On October 21 the Nazis announced that Leningrad was encircled, and foreign correspondents in Berlin were invited to 20 witness it's fall The great naval base at Sevas topol also was .besieged.

 In the numbing Russian winter, the Soviets put runners on their rolling stock and camouAaged their troops in white They sent phantom-like guer- ras behind the Naz lines to slash at the invaders, suffering mserably in the frlghtful cold for which they had neither training clothing nor adequate equipment.

 The blast awakened the entire island.
 Flames and black acrid smoke shot up from the harbor. The pounding to shattering cres- cendo until fire and smoke enveloped the shipping, the docks, the o-covered waters and the airfelds.

some thought they d1d not go lar enough OtnerS- isoatonists-argued that his steps would lead to hostilities and that the U S. lesson of World War was to remain aloof from 'Europes age-old quar- res" The debate often became bitter. lsoatlonlstS were accused of pro-Axis sympathes; those advo- eating stronger stand against Hitler were accused of war -mongerlng.
 In September the sinkings multiplied The U s. destroyer Greer-"m "minding it's own business, the President said-was attacked by submarine off Iceland. The Nazis claimed the U-boat had been attacked first Roosevelt ordered the Navy to shoot on sight thereafter and promised the destruction of Nazis raiders found in U. s. waters. Amid much debate Congress increased the training period of draftees from one year to 30 months and repealed parts of the Neutrality Act to permit U. s. merchant ships to mount guns and steam into the war zones.
 Oddly, these steps ostensbly taken to strengthen the country against possible attacks from Europe Americans generally overlooked or mini- mixed, trouble brewing in the Pacific.
 The Japanese, once they had won bases in French Indo- China had squeezed the Petan government into permitting total occupation In August the U 5. State Department was certain the NipponeSe planned to invade the Indian Ocean area to isolate China and block out Britain. At that time Roosevelt warned the Japanese ambassador, Naokuni Nomura, that further Nipponese aggressions would be fol- lowed by U S. steps to safeguard her security.
 In November, Saburo Kurusu joined Nomura in Washington to try to reach settlement. They asserted America was attempting to 'encircle" Japan and decried the Lend-Lease aid being given China Secretary of State Hull outlined proposed in the far east and result in the withdrawal of Nipponese troops from China and Indo-China. But instead of taking troops out of Indo China the Nip ponese sent more in.
 On December 6, the State Department reported that Roosevelt had sent personal appeal to Japan's Emperor Hirohito in effort to avert hostilitieS

THE UNITED STATES PREPARES

A MERICA was well started the path to pre- paredness when Hitler invaded Russia. Draftees were swarming into Army camps, under the Selec- tive Service Act passed in September, 1940, which provided that they receive years training. For while they maneuvered with broomsticks and pre- tended that trucks tanks, because much of the output of the growing U. s. arsenal was being shipped to supply depleted Britain.
 In January, President Roosevelt introduced new phrase-"the four freedoms"-as Americas obec- tive for everywhere in the world. They were freedom of speech and expression" freedom of every person to worship God in his own way, free dom from want and freedom from fear"
 In July, he announced American occupation of Iceland as vital to the defense of the western hemisphere. Then in August he sailed out on the Atlantic for a secret rendezvous with Winston Churchill U. s. diplomatic and military leaders were in the party and out of 1t came the Atlantic Charter" with eight point program for a peace that would strip Germany of her war gains and permit "all peoples to choose the form of govern ment under which they will live.'
 The Nazis continued to attack American shipping which, however was flying the flag of Panama to get around the Neutrality Act designed to keep U S. vessels out of waters in the war zones. Roose welt grimly announced the world would do everything in its power to crush the Nazis.
 The Presidents moves caused mixed reaction in America. Many persons endorsed them fully
