(Continued from pace 1) ' determination to keep America out of the. conflict abroad. '. No 'effort was. made' to conceal the frankly political nature of the ' address. Radio time was bought , and paid for by the democratic national committee, after. 'some controversy as to the nature cf previous addresses. The endorsement of the Idea of seisins and operating indnstries which refuse to cooperate with the defense program came after Wen dell I WiUkle, the republican presidential nominee, had ehal lenged Mr. Roosevelt to state his views.' . Wlllkie opposed the Russell-Ov-erton amendment to the conscrip tion act, callus for seizure of such Industries. He said this amend' tnent -was dangerous, - but added later that he would faror a selec tive service for Industry if it were acompanied by definite rules and regulations. (This section of the draft act was changed tonight in what leg islators called an attempt to see that industries were not seized except in case of imminent emer gency). Pumps for Draft of Industries Mr. Rooserelt noted that con gress was about to pass a law for the eonscription of men, and add ed that "on the same principle, no reasonable person can object to giving the government the power to acquire the services" of plants needed for the production of de fense Items, if the owners of those plants prove recalcitrant. "The overwhelming majority of our munitions and other defense requirements are now manufactur ed by private enterprises under private management," he . said. "We continue that process. It Is only in the rare, isolated case that the owner of a plant will re fuse to deal with his government in a fair way. "But if and when such case does arise, the government can not stand by, helpless In its ef forts to - arm and defend Itself. No business is above its govern ment; and government should be empowered to deal adequately with any business which tries to rise above its government." Fiery Churchill Says "Hold Finn" (Continued from page 1) of indiscriminate slaughter and destruction," said the prime min ister. "What he has done Is to kindle a fire In British hearts, here and all over the world, which will glow long after all traces of the conflagration he has caused in London have been removed. "He has lighted a fire which will burn with a steady and con suming flame until the last ves tiges of nazi tyranny have been burnt out of Europe, and until the old world and the new can Join hands to rebuild the temples of man's freedom and man's hon or upon foundations which will not soon or easily be overthrown.
