(The United States' concern ov-l
er nazi designs on French West
Africa was expressed by Presi
dent Roosevelt in his fireside chat
last May 27 when he said Ger
man occupation of Dakar, African
base opposite the bulge of Brazil
would "directly endanger the
freedom on the Atlantic and our
own physical safety.")
This was the second anti
Vichy outburst in as many days.
Marcel Deat another prominent
French collaborationist ' Mon
day accused the Petain govern
ment of stalling off the Ger
mans while hoping- for an allied
victory. He also hinted that the
French might lose their African
empire.-:
Both men accused Admiral Wil
liam D. Leahy, US ambassador to
Vichy, of intrigues which they
said were weaning France from
Germany.
The attacks also followed a ser
ies of anti-German bombing in

of the battered body of Yves 'Par

of staff, on the Paris-Troyes rail
road tracks southeast of Paris.
Solons Split
On Farm Bill
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6P)-The
touchy question of who should
apply wartime curbs to farm
prices split the senate Tuesday as
it prepared to open debate Wed
nesday on the broad price control
measure. '
The senate farm bloc, under the
leadership of Senator Bankhead
(D-Ala), claimed 42 votes for a
proposal to give the secretary of
agriculture the equivalent of a
veto power over any maximum
price orders by the. price adminis
trator. Senator Brown (D-Mich), floor
manager for the control measure
approved by the! senate banking
committee, conceded that admin
istration forces faced a stiff con
test on the issue. '

of the United States but ef all
the nations with which it is al
lied; and he repeatedly empha
sized that the United States Is
fighting on the "same side" with
the British, the Russians, the
Dutch, the Chinese and the ex
iled governments of the Invaded
countries.
To "hit" the enemy and "hit
him again wherever and whenever
we can reach him," to "keep him
from our shores, for we intend to
bring this battle to him, on his
own ground," it was necessary not
only that these arms.be produced,
but; mat American expeditionary
forces join in the battle wherever
they can help.
Thus, he foresaw American
forces soon in action at "many
points in the far east," on "all the
oceans," taking "stations in the
British isles" and protecting this
hemisphere and bases outside the
hemisphere "which could be used
for an attack on the Americas."
Congress took it all at one en
thusiastic gulp. Again and again
it interrupted ' his remarks with
loud and prolonged outbursts of
hand clapping' and cheering. At
one point a page boy, seated on a
rostrum step, vociferously started
an ovation.
The president was grave and
noticeably subdued and re
strained In his delivery. There
were no smiles. Toward the end
It was perhaps the longest
speech he has made before con
gress he lowered his voice and
by Contrast with his usual pre
oration, reduced his tone to one
virtually of ordinary conversa
tion. r
His hearers were grave, too, and
neither for them was it an occa
sion for laughter. -They sat tight
lipped and intent as Mr. Roosevelt
spoke. For most of them it was an
old scene. The president has ad
dressed such sessions repeatedly.
But it was a new setting.
The' president entered th cham
ber on the arm of Major General
Edwin S. Watson, his secretary.
Captain .John Beardall, his naval
aide recently promoted to the
commission of rear admiral but
still wearing the four stripes of a
captain followed, carrying the
president's text typed in an ordi
nary schoolboy's note book. He
placed it before the president
opened to the firsj page, Speaker
Rayburn introduced the chief ex
ecutive briefly, and the latter
began.
Public morale could not be bet
ter, he said. He recalled that a
year ago he predicted that when
the dictators were raedy to maBe
war on the United, States, they
would not wait for an American
act of war but would choose their
own time and place a prophecy
borne out he added, by the at
tack on Pearl Harbor. - :
jHe traced Japan's "scheme'
ef conquest" ever half a century,
said a similar "policy of crimr 4
iaal conquest was adopted later v
by Italy - bat that neither:'
matched the "gargantuun aspira- ..
tlons ef Hitler and his suuds."
AU three had been merged, he'
"added. Into ene single plan. ;
- Under this scheme, Japan's role
was to divert to the Pacific American-made
weapons which other
wise would go to the British. .
The act of Japan at Pearl Har
bor was intended to stun us," he
continued,' to terrify us to such an
extent that we would divert our
industrial and military strength to
the Pacific area or even to our own
continental defense,
- The plan bis failed la its pur
pose. We have not been stunned.
We have never been terrified or
cefcifused. ' , '. '-;
But, nevertheless, hard choices
had to be made.

4, At
V,
Ill of Great Britain at sea last August 14. The document was so phrased
that Knssla, while agreeing to all stlmplations in the straggle against
Germany and Italy, does not pledge to enter the war against Japan.
Signatures visible on the facsimile at right include those of President
Roosevelt, Churchill, Maxim Lttvinoff. the Russian ambassador. T. V.
Soong, China's minister for foreign affairs. Richard G. Casey, Austral
ian minister to the US, and R. V. D. Straten, for the Belgium kingdom.
"It was bitter, for example, not
to be able to relieve the heroic
and historic defenders of Wake
island. It was bitter for us not
to be able to land a million men
and a thousand ships in the
Philippine islands.
"But this adds only to our de
termination to see to it that the
Stars and Stripes will fly again
over Wake and Guam; yes, to see
to it that the brave people of the
Philippines will be rid of Japanese
imperialism; and will live in
freedom, security and independ
ence." He spoke of recent confer
ences with Winston Churchill
and representatives of other
allied nations and asserted that
for the "first time since the
Japanese and the fascists an
the nazis started along their
blood-stained course of conquest
they now face the fact that su
perior forces are assembling
against them."
Their purpose was to beat
Britain, China, Russia and the
Netherlands and then "achieve
their ultimate goal, the conquest
of the United States."
The only laughter of the en
tire occasion, a short-lived titter,
followed a reference to Hitler's
"Italian and Japanese chessmen."
Victory for us, he continued,
means victory for freedom and
religion and the nazis , could not
tolerate that for "the world is too
small to provide adequate living
room for both Hitler and God."
"Our own objectives are clear,"
he said. "The objective is smash
ing the militarism imposed by war
lords upon their enslaved people
the objective of liberating the
subjugated nations the objective
of establishing and securing free
dom of speech, freedom nf re
ligion, freedom from want and
freedom from fear everywhere
in the world."
"We .shall not stop short ef
these objectives," he added, "we
are determined not only to win
the war, but also to "--tfiin
the security of the peace that
wlH follow." And at another
point he ruled out any "return
to the kind of world we had aft
er the last World war."
He went on to discuss the need
for arms "modern methods of
warfare make it a task not only
of shooting, but an even more
urgent one of working and pro
ducing. "Production for war is based on
men and women the human
hands and brains which collec
tively we call labor" as well as
upon metals and raw. materials.
A sum equal to more than half
the national income $58,000,000.-

"That means taxes and bonds

the nations which are fighting
on the American aide, and each
one received prolonged and
hearty applause, Russia ne less
than any ether, with Martin
Dies, the house's chief Investi
gator and denunciator of com

"We are fighting today," the
president said, "for security, for
progress and for peace, not only
for ourselves, but for all men, not
only for one generation but for all
generations. We are fighting to
cleanse the world of ancient evils,

"Our enemies are guided by

Aside from three direct hits on
a Japanese battleship and the
sinking of a Japanese destroyer,
said the war department's night
communique, it was probable that
more than one destroyer actually
was sunk and that there was ex
tensive damage to other Ships.
The Japanese fleet assaulted
consisted of a battleship,' five
cruisers, six destroyers, IS sub
marines and 12 transports.
In Malaya . the Japanese had
seized Kuantan airport on the
eastern side of the peninsula about
190 miles above Singapore and
thus had placed themselves with
in less than an hoar's flicht from
that great base. J '
The Chinese said the Japan
ese had suffered 7.00S mere
casualties ta the Invaders' third
attempt to. capture Changsha,
rich' rice and silk center and
capital of Hunan province.
These new losses were in ad
dition to the 30.000 dead and
wounded the Japanese were re
ported officially to have already
suffered in the Changsha area.
The Chinese said they also took
many prisoners.
Some of the more than 4R nno
Japanese troops trapped between
tne Laotao and Liuyang rivers
northwest of Changsha managed
to escape, the Chinese said, but
their number was not disclosed.
Thus, It was added, 70 per cent
of .the Initial Japanese assault
force of 100,000 was destroyed or
In great peril. .
