By LYLE C. WILSON WASHINGTON, Nov. 21. (U.B Navy yards and diplomats are developing the substance of Presi dent Roosevelt's "continental de fense" program for the western hemisphere today. Secretary of State Hull will sail from New York Nov. 25 at the head of the American delegation to the Pan-American conference which will convene at Lima, capital of Peru, Dec. 9. First protest against the Pan American defense program came today from seven pacifist groups which charged that Mr. Roosevelt's program was an invitation to world armaments race. Among the protesting organizations were the National Council for Preven' tion of War, the Women's Inter national League for Peace and Freedom and the Keep America Out of War Committee. Mr. Roosevelt, however, Is con fident there will be no "defec tions" from the "continental de tense" plan. It already has been welcomed in Canada. The Lima conference will be the occasion for Hull and his co-delegates to shape the foundation of a mutual defen sive structure in the new world Preparing to Spend On the home front, the war and navy departments are preparing to spend more money In the next year than any previous administration has thought necessary for defense purposes since the World war. It is likely that Mr. Roosevelt will ask congress for $1,500,000,000 for defense in the budget message to ' be submitted during the first week of January. Coincident with extension of United States defensive responsi bilities to all parts of the western hemisphere, including Canada, the army is expected to get a larger share of the defense money ration. Naval construction will con tinue. The navy ordered three new 35.000-ton battleships over the weekend and a fourth prob ably shortly will be contracted for. Five battleships now are building or contracted for, the first of the big fellows undertaken by the United States since the Washing ton arms conference. Admiral William D. Leahy, chief of naval operations, in his annual report to the secretary of the navy today, said that completion of the naval expansion program now un der way would give the United States a fighting fleet second to none.

Observers believed that if the situation grew dangerous, Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini would take a strong stand. Occupation of eastern Czecho. Slovakia by Hungary or Poland or both would constitute a loss of prestige to Italy. For Germany it would be a loss of prestige and would also threaten to close the road to the Black sea. Frequent clashes were reported in the region of Feketepatak and a growing "uprising" was reported in the mountainous regions fur ther within Ruthenia. The reports said three incidents had occurred in which groups of Hungarian irregulars crossed the Ruthenian frontier and clashed with Czech defense troops includ ing gendarmerie, police and cus toms guards.' Four Hungarians were reported to have been killed and several were .taken prisoner. -The Hun garians were forced to withdraw, the reports said.
