to give precedence to the products
that the nation needs and "upon
all our loyal workmen as well as
employers to ' merge their lesser
differences in the larger effort to
Insure the survival of the only
kind of government which recog
nizes the rights of labor or of
capital' ;f !.''."
He referred to, the labor prob
lem in his speech as well. - i
This is no time," he said, "for
capital to make, or be allowed to
retain, excess profits. Articles of
defense must have undisputed
right of way in every industrial
plant in the country.
"A nation-wide machinery' for
conciliation and mediation of in
dustrial disputes has been set up
That machinery must be -used
promptly and without stoppage
of work. Collective bargaining will
be retained, : but the American
people expect that impartial rec
ommendations of our government
services will be followed; both' by
capital and by labor.
Tbe overwhelming majority
ef enr eltixens expect their gov
erameat to see that the tools of
defense are beflt; and for Che
cry pvpese ef preserving the
democrat! safeguards ef both
labor and management this gov
ernment Is determined te nse
aU ef Its power te express the
win. ef its people, and te pre
rent Interference with the pro
duction of materials essential te
ear nation's security."
His. pledge that whatever may
be necessary to get the goods to
Britain would be undertaken
promptly construed in some quar
ters as a possible forerunner of
a convoy system was prefaced
by a disclosure that the Germans
were sinking merchant ships at a
terrific pace more than twice as
fast as British and American ship
yards Can replace them.
He asked whether, in view of
the world situation, the nation
should "hesitate to take every sin
gle measure necessary to main
tain our American liberty.''
Envisioning the sort of peace
j terms which a triumphant Hitler
weald dictate, he said the fuehr
er would "hoist, the swastika It
self ever vast territories and
populations," accompanied by
assurances te the western hem
isphere that he coveted nose of
Its territory.
But, under such circumstances
he thought it would be "incred
ibly simple and forgetful to accept
those honeyed words," for follow
ing the past pattern of nazi aggres
aion,; pressure would then be
brought to bear upon us.
The nazis would fasten "an eco
nomic stanglehold" upon us, with
those Americans who desired prof

womld erasable. Free fpeech,
freedom ef worship, freedom ef
trade all would vanish. America
would be permanently pouring
"ear resources Into armaments'
and "standing a day and night
watch against the destruction of
our cities." j; "
Later, he turned to the oppo
nents of his foreign policy:
There are some timid Ones
among us," he said, "who say that
we must preserve peace at any
price lest we lose our liberties
forever. To them I say: Never in
the history of the world has a na
tion lost its democracy by a sue
cessful struggle to defend Its de
mocracy. We must, not be defeat
ed by the fear of the very danger
which we are preparing, to resist
Our Freedom has shown its ability
to survive war, but it would never
survive surrender. The only thing
we have to fear is fear itself.
"There Is ef course, a
group ef sincere, patriotic men
and women whose real passion
for peace has shut their eyes te
the vgiy realities ef internation
al banditry and te the need te
resist It at all costs. I ant sere
they are embarrassed by the sin
ister support they are receiving
from the enemies of democracy
in our midst the bondlsts, and
fascists, and communists, 'and
every group devoted te bigotry
and racial and religions In tolerance.
"It is no mere coincidence that
all the arguments put forward by
these enemies of democracy all
their attempts to confuse and di
vide our people and to destroy
public confidence in our govern'
ment all their defeatist forebod
ings that Britain and democracy
are already beaten all their self
ish promises that we can 'do bus
iness with Hitler all of these are
but echoes of the words that have
been poured out from the axis bu
reaus of propaganda.
"Those same words have been
used before in other countries to
scare them, to divide them, to
soften them up.' Invaribly, those
same words have formed the ad
vance guard of physical attack."
."Your government has the righ
to expect of all citizens that they
take loyal part in the common
work of our common defense-
take loyal part from this momen
forward."
In speaking of the Hitlerian
threat to the western hemisphere,
he said:
vour people and our govern
ment will not hesitate to meet
that challenge.
"As the president of a united
and determined people I say sol
emnly .
" 'We reassert the ancient
American doctrine of freedom of
the seas.'
" We' reassert the solidarity of
the 21 American republics and
the Dominion of Canada in the
preservation of the independence
of the hemisphere. '
" 'We In the Americas will de
cide whether and when and where
bur American interests are at
tacked or our security threatened.
" 'We are placing our armed
forces in -strategic miltary posi
tions. '
. 'We will not hesitate to use
our armed forces to' repel attack.
"'We reassert our abiding faith
in the vitality of our constitutional
republic as a perpetual home of
freedom, of tolerance, and of de
votion to the word of God.
"Heretofore, wlta profound
eensdensnese el my responsibil
ities to say eeentrymea and to
my country's cause, I have to
night issued a proclamation that
an unlimited national emergen
cy exists and requires the
strengthening of our defense te
the extreme limit ef enr nation
al power and authority."
I The president charged in so
many words that It was the pur
pose of Adolf Hitler and the nazis
to dominate the world and
'strangle the United States of
America and the Dominion of
Canada." This he .said could not
be accomplished until the axis
powers gained control of the seas.
Now, he said. Great Britain stood
between the axis and such domi
nation of the seas.
But he said the "blunt truth"
was that the Germans were sink
ihg merchant ships at a rate more
than double the combined . ability
of British and American shipyards
to replace them.
Then noting that the American
navy was doing patrol duty in the
North Atlantic and saying that the
ships in that area were being con
siantly increased, he pledged "all
additional measures necessary to
deliver the goods."
The deadly facts of war compel
nations, lor simple self-Dreserva
if on, to make stern choices, he
said.
i "It does not snake sense, for
Instance, te say 1 believe in the
.defense ef all the western heml
sphere and la the next breath
jte say, 1 wfll not fight for that
defense antll the enemy has
landed en our shores.'
1 "And If we believe in the inde
pendence and integrity of the Am
ericas, we must be willing to fight
to defend tLem just as we would
to fight for the safety of our
homes.'"
8 Mr. Roosevelt enunciated two
articles on national policy
I "First, we shall actively resis
wherever necessary, and with all
our resources, every attempt by
Hitler to extend his nazi domi'
nation to the western hemisphere,
or to threaten it We shall actively
resist his every attempt to gain
control of the seas. We insist upon
the vital importance of keeping
Hitlerism away from any point in
the world which could be used and
would be used as a base of attack
against the Americas.
- "Second, from the point of
tview of strict naval and mili
tary necessity, we shall give ev
ery possible assistance to Brtt-
and te all, who, with Britain
are resisting nitlertsnr er its
equivalent with force of arms.
Our patrols art" helping new te

supplies to Britain. All addi
tional measures necessary te

;or combinations of methods.
which can or should be util
ized, are being devised by our
military and naval technicians,
who, with me, will work eat
and put into effect such new
id additional safeguards as
may be needed."
In his proclamation, Mr. Roose
velt said that the objectives of
the axis powers included "over
throw throughout the world of
fxisting democratic order, and a
rorld-wide ' domination of peo
ples and economies through the
destruction of all resistance on
land and sea and in the air."
I The chief executive made . an
urgent appeal to workmen and
mployers to put aside their minor
differences in "the larger effort
o insure the survival of the only
kind of government which rec
ognizes the right of; labor or of
capital."
"I call upon loyal state and
local leaders and officials,' he
said, "to cooperate with tne

Text of FDR Proclamation
Puts Nation on War Basis
; j (Continued from Page.l) J
NOW, therefore, I, Franklin D. Roosevelt, president
of the United States of America, do proclaim that an un- .
limited national emergency confronts this country, which
requires that its military, naval, air and civilian defenses be
put on the basis Jot readiness to repel any and all acts or
threats of aggression directed toward any part of the west
ern hemisphere, j I --.

tion for defense to give precedence to- the needs of the na- .

engaged in defense production to
give precedence to the needs of
the' nation with the; objective of
preserving a . system of govern
ment .that makes private enter
prise possible. ;i
Indifference on the part of the
United States to the increasing
menace from the axis' would . be
perilous, the president said. Com
mon prudence, he added, requires
the change over to a basis which
will enable the country "to cope
instantly an decisively with any
attempt at hostile encirclement
of this hemisphere, or the estab
lishment of any base for aggres
sion against it, as well as to repel
the threat of predatory intrusion
by foreign agents into our terri
tory and society." !J

WASHINGTON, May t1-ij
Wh He President! Eoosevelt
Tuesday night was "chatting to
the nation and te the world he
was surrounded by a distin
guished gathering of the diplo-
ma tic representatives of all the
American nations, jibe speech
went by short wave to distant
lands, in English ;and half a
dozen translations, j
It went directly, too, and in full
text to both Berlin and Tokyo.
Newspapermen representing the
German and Japanese news agen
cies were waiting in the White
House lobby when, two hours be
fore Its delivery ,th e text of the
address was given to the press.
The president, seated beneath
an arc of the i flags of the 21
American republics, J spoke in his
cutomary deliberate,! word-spaced
manner. But his voice rose and
his pace grew more rapid as he
several times reached what ap
peared to be the principal message
of his address that it is Hitler's
plan; and intent to "strangle the
United SUtes off America," that
the war "is coming very dose to
home.; 1 " :
;
Before him, under the glittering
chandeliers of the east room, the
diplomats sat in evening dress.
following his, words closely and in
tently, some of the mnodding with
him as he himself bobbed bis head
in his characteristic way of em
phasixing a phrase.
But: they withheld their ap
plause until the speech was fin
ished. Then they broke Into a
loud and prolonged ovation. The
solemnity ef the
broken at w point by a lady
who dropped her hand bag to
the floor with a loud bang just
aa Mr. KsoatviU reached bis cll
matkal point fo announcing as
unl untied national emergency.
Secretary Hull, chin in hand, sat
almost Immediately In front of the
president with Mrs. Roosevelt
across. an aisle from him. The
chief executive, in a white dinner
jacket, sat in aw red velvet chair
before a small mahogany desk lit
tered with microphones, a bottle
of water and a glass, and the
leather-bound loose-leaf notebook
from which he always reads his
prepared speeches.
A glass, goose-necked table
lamp that looked as if It could
have been bought for a dollar at
the corner drug store was at his
elbow, but the glare of flood
lights brought in by cameramen
made it superfluous.
Secretary Stephen Early, In
exptaaaopa ' ;- et ateoseveit s
words, that "all additional meas
, nres" necessary to deliver war
supplies to Britain would be
taken, said they did net mean
conveying "fat the old sense ef
the word."!
"It probably means," arly
a stamgthentng, a better
efficient patrol, with
shins natrolllng.-
Te told reeporters he had not
discussed with his chief what
powers might be exercised at once
under the proclamation of a full
national emergency, He said he
did pot know; either, whether any
executive orders might be issued
immediately. -
With emphasis, Mr. Roosevelt
warned that Iceland, Greenland,
Labrador, Newfoundland and
Nova Scotia could, under nazi
domination, become "stepping
stones" for an attack upon the
United SUtes itself. In the same
way, he said, the Azores and Cape
Verde islands could become . a
"springboard" for. an attack on.
South America.
