President Roosevelt announced
in effect today that the new

ma had received the recognition
of . the United States and " that
diplomatic relations with that
county would .contmiie

changed.
At the same time; in response
to press conference questions', he
said he had received no reports
which would indicate that Russia
was about to capitulate before the
nazi onslaught and seek an armis-
tict.. . Neither, he said, had he any
knowledge of how his letter to
Joseph Stalin, pledging material
assistance to, Russia, had , fallen
into German hands, but, he added,
he had a hunch.
In addition, he announced '
plans for broadening the usual
celebration . of Navy .-day, Oct.
27, Into an observance of total
Defense day. lie said he would
deliver an address thai evening'',
before a dinner of tho Navy

that diplomatic relations with
Panama would continue 'unchang
ed, 'the general attitude here was
one of satisfaction with the Pana
manian change. . r J
